Thanks to AT I’ve just discovered that quite a lot of last weekend’s Chaotic Genesis (in Nagoya) was recorded via ustream. Sadly I can’t find any sign of AT himself, but here’s the opening of Taber’s NRG set, with a bit of Proteus, Guld and one of the maddest intros I’ve heard for a while. Another worth checking out is DJ MOE:T’s dark psy set, the video runs for the full hour, too.

Anyway, it sounds like the event went well, and what a great idea to broadcast it all. Hardcore Tano*C has also been doing something similar, so hopefully we’ll see more of this in the future…

Thanks to Cogi, Eirik and Soham, we’ve got plenty of photos and video to show what happened at last week’s NRGetic Romancer, even if my audio recording didn’t come out too well at all (I’ll know better next time, at least). The numbers were pretty respectable given what’s happened in the last month, so we should have raised a decent amount for people affected by the earthquake/tsunami.

There was plenty of variety too, with NRG, gabber, dark psy, drum and bass and hardcore all making an appearance this time around. The video at the top of the post shows Yumi and Soham glowing their way through TETRA’s (or maybe Cogi’s) set, but first up was Siki, also playing dark psy…

It’s scary how quickly this has come around again – Japanese club music magazine LOUD’s annual DJ Ranking. Despite the magazine itself being heavy on the funky house and gentle techno, Guld has managed to place very highly for the last couple of years now, so taking a couple of minutes to fill out the form might help him to do even better this time.

The fields marked with * are required, and in order they are:

– Name
– Date of birth (Year/Month/Day) and Chinese zodiac (a random guess will probably do fine)
– Email
– Email again
– No.1 DJ in Japan
– No1. DJ abroad
