I have been in Toowoomba for a few months and have found PLAY to be a fairly good club to
go to. I used to party in 'the valley' before moving here so it's been the only place
where I can here some decent beats. About 6 weeks ago I was there for the first birthday
and had a great time ( from what I can remember ). I got a cd from one of the djs who
played ( Bam Bam ) and it wasn't too bad. Last weekend I was there at PLAY and the music
was fairly funky but I swear I heard one of the resident djs playing the same cd or
atleast parts of it. I wouldn't have picked up on it except that I have the same cd.
Is this common practice with local talent because I know 'brissi djs' are extremely
territorial when it comes to their own music styles.
Or am I just trippin? 
Also, do any bush doofs or trance partys happen around this area?

Thanks once again Ray. Always kind words from you guys. However WHAT THE FUCK??? If What
Dustbuster says is true then I am pissed off. You know that this is not the first
confrontation I've had on this matter and I've even had T'ba ravers ask me why I play
JJ's music. Once again, WHAT THE FUCK!!! I can assure everyone that I do NOT rip off
other djs mixes. In actual fact, I pride myself on being quite a bit different to other
local djs. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying i'm a better dj than the next but I do have
a different style and if others  are trying to claim my sound as theirs, then they are
showing to you their lack of creativity as a dj.
Djs often have the same tracks as the next guy but what pitch you play them at and how
you work the mixer is what defines your style and makes you different from the rest. 
Maybe I am over reacting. I'd like to hear from some experienced djs on the matter. If
you're out there Custa, What do you think?
Many thanx again for the support of the Pure Tech crue.
Peace to all

Good to hear from you again BamBam..... um on this topic the way I would see it is at the
end of the day you can only be true to yourself. I think that finding your own niche that
you are happy in is what is important to me, not compromising for anything and not trying
to be something a person is not. I don't go out there to play music for masses, the way I
look at the whole thing is I never got into this thing to be a "DJ". I got into the djing
side of things back when there was an absence of clubs in Toowoomba. The E-Spot had been
shut for just over a year and there was nowhere to hear the music I loved. (The first
time I heard Hiroshima / Dragnet Action Hero by Baby Doc and the Dentist I nearly wet my
pants....that was the track that changed it all for me). Luckily at that stage I had
moved in with Paul J where I had access to decks and could form my own personal tastes in
music further. Myself and Will-e-d (another friend of mine I lived with in that house)
used to buy similar stuff being HH/NRG when Paul was buying HappyHard. I guess there was
a bit of competition between Bill and myself over tunes and he used to lock his create so
nobody could see his bomb tracks. I guess we were pretty similar in what we played till I
found my first Choci's Chewns track and from that point on it has been Acid straight up
for me (although dabbling still in HH/NRG, Hard Trance and the precursor to Freeform....
Trancecore as it was known back then).

I guess in that respect I am lucky that there aren't too many people out there
buying/playing acid... BUT if there were/is somebody playing it I would not mind at all
if I could see that person was passionate about it and not just playing it coz it's the
next big (not saying Acid is the next big thing, I just don't think enough people
understand it) thing if thats what the genre was doing. Who knows acid seems to be ending
up in a few big jocks sets of late. i.e. Langford and BK have both played Acid Disco at
last couple of parties in Bris, but I could not help myself I had to play Acid Disco
aswell on sat night. :-)

OK, after all that dribble, sorry guys, all I can say BamBam is that you just do what is
right for you, care not about anybody else or what they are doing, just be true to
yourself with what and how you play and the people that should matter to you will
understand it all and for those that don't does it really matter how they react or how
they act?... Nope.

We'll have to catch up at some stage mate and shoot the shit.

Excuse me guys, but back to the doofs question. Who is Dj Royale and where does he play
at? Does he ever get a spin at PLAY? And next question. Is Custa likely to spin at PLAY ?

The answer would be a regrettable NO, but the next question is
WHYwhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhwy?
This town needs to hear something different.
I love Play but one club does not make a scene.  Sad but true.

Nah sorry guys, won't be playing at any events under the Play monika. Hopefuly there will
be something different happening down the track I will be involved in but we are just
needing some time to organise things properly. No point doing something half assed. When
the time is right ..... it'll happen.
