the official - another florida breaks discussion

[FACTORe]

so - let me preface this by saying the following:

1. because you live in florida doesn't mean you make florida breaks
2. i do not spin florida breaks
3. ian looks good in a striped shirt

with all that being said. some observations about breaks in dc (allthgouh what can you really tell from one weekend)

it is very popular to hate on florida breaks yet who is the biggest draw for breaks in dc? Icey, the king of Florida breaks. (don't give me "he is a draw only cause he is icey" bullshit because he is icey because of what he plays and makes) what breaks tracks went off the most of any of the breaks tracks played @ the show at nation played by djs other than Icey? florida breaks. DC is experiencing the same thing that many other regions do. The crowds for the most part love florida breaks but the people that are in charge of booking talent hate them. Therefore, the customer is not always right. What the people want doesn't matter. Over the past 1 1/2 - 2 years the lines have def been blurred as to what is florida and what is nu skool etc. There is no clear cut definition of what each style is anymore with artists like Deekline, Autobots, Breakfasters, Freestylers, Backdraft, distortionz, general midi all making florida sounding tracks. Is it a demographic thing? is it ok for these records to come from the UK but it they come from the southeast USA then they are somehow magically tainted? Pendulum is even making funky breaks and they go off. I know that in a town like DC where politics is a given, that this may not be the best post politically, but i want an intelligent discussion on this and maybe have a few people step back and take a different look at why things are the way that they are there.

btw - i am moving out of florida in a couple weeks so maybe i won't be quite as tainted...LOL

btw - i met a LOT of kewl people there and i had a great time. i look foward to coming back again. maybe just to hang out if nothing else.

you didn't know

Factore is the mississippi breaks master

hehe

[The Jezereck]

I jus cant remember anyone spinnin breakz when I was down there, but it was years ago. Only form of edm was comin out of NO. The idea that MS would even have its own sound just completely baffles me, unless of course its like country mash-ups or somethin.

mississippi breaks are muddy and dark...like the river

mississippi breaks rawks

Ian does look good in a striped shirt too

I would have to say that people just love to hate on Florida breaks because its funny but in actuality they secretly like them. I play a wide variety of breaks in dc and most everything I play goes over even the florida that I play, which is mostly Fixx/Sharaz which is straight up florida breaks. Its hard to classify stuff these days but I would have to say the stuff that you produce and play along with lets say breakfastaz, autobots or aquaksky I would call Nu-School Funk but def not Florida breaks. It has its funky elements and its bangin effects of nu-school but its not all WAH WAH WAH and its not all tweet florida tweet. I think people need to lay off the hateraide and broaden there horizons of music or something.

good times this weekend too man

I'm not ashamed to say I play alittle florida :neener:

can't wait till Ian chimes in

[darklightworker]

People just like to hate period...guilty myself


I love Florida breaks and I love Nuskool....and there's an equal amount of crappy tunes being put out by both styles. Oh well, we thought when we got outta highschool the whole "clicks" thing would end...hehe

Fuck it

Trance anyone???

just buy a striped shirt...that is all you need

[The Jezereck]

On my way to Wal-mart right now

[DjLantern]

just buy a striped shirt...that is all you need

make sure its pink too

[FACTORe]

for those that are confused about the striped shirts:

Look at my button down striped shirt! Fucking look at it! This shirt means one thing! I’m coming home with some pussy tonight! That’s right! It’s been a long week at the office and it’s time to blow off a little steam! I am a Junior Vice President! I have business cards that say “Junior Vice President” on them! They’re glossy and magnificent! Here! Have one! Take it!

My boys are coming out with me tonight! They all have striped shirts too!

I figure we’ll kick off the night with some Golden Tee! I am going to smack the shit out of that little white ball! It’s going to be so fucking loud! I’ll bet I can drive that pretend golf ball 600 fucking yards tonight! I’m that fucking pumped!

I can almost taste those Jager Bombs right now! I fucking love Red Bull! I put it on my God damned cereal! I’m crushing one right now!

I’m thinking about buying a boat this year!

I’m gonna fight someone tonight! I pray to God someone makes eye contact with me! I will beat his ass! And God help him if he gets any blood on my striped shirt! If he does, I’ll scrub it out with his dick and some bleach! I mean it!

I’m gonna grind on girls asses tonight! You heard me! When I see a group of girls dancing in a circle, I will select the most attractive one and dry hump her until it hurts! I will rub my cock against her so that she can feel my throbbing hard on!

Party Fuel
I will valet tonight!

I will treat the valet with contempt and make sure that he knows that I am superior to him in life! I will tell him to “Take it easy on the brakes, Champ”!

I will talk to people I don’t know about my job tonight! They will all know that I am an important man! I will call female bartenders “Babe” and male bartenders “Chief”!

When I do not hook up with a girl at that club, I will say that the place is “full of skanks”! We will wait in a long line to go to another bar only to strike out again!

I will give up and decide to order a gyro off of a street vendor! I will make fun of him to my friends for being foreign! I will look ridiculous purchasing my gyro because people will be able to tell by my striped shirt and tinted sunglasses that I struck out and am settling for a gyro!

I will make one last attempt to hook up by trying to coax two big girls who are also ordering gyros to coming back to my place for “after hours”! When they say no I will make fun of them for being fat! I will leave!

When I get home I will go to the bathroom and hold the straight razor to my wrist again! I will gently drag the razor laterally against my vein, making sure not to actually cut myself!

I will then go to my room and pass out! I will need some shut eye so that I’ll be ready to fucking party again tomorrow!

[The Jezereck]
