Blak Randy Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 We normally end up with a freestyle at the end but not super long. Like 15 mins or something. The thing is 90% of scratch shows are shit. No atmosphere, everyone bored, a bunch of people with their heads down ahhing over a beat. When we done the first event here the guy organising it said he was gonna do set showcases with a little music between it. I was a little sceptical thinking there should be more freestyles, jams ect. I was totally wrong. the way it works is like a propper show. Keeps it interesting and more professional. Gives people time to digest things and enjoy the shows too without getting bored at watching 45 mins of ahhh fresh. At every one so far there has been a killer atmosphere with people right into it as can be seen on the comunity scratch vids. I have been to a few other scratch jams around the world where it has been nothing like that and a bit boring and this exact reason is why. Having said that there has always been a freestyle at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that there has always been a freestyle at the end. when we did "a kut above the rest" we tried to make it more of a performance at one point, cos really cutting is only interesting to those who cut after about 5 minutes. and there's only about 20 of them there and these guys weren't heavy drinkers.

djfoly Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=106047251847 its not a fan page man its an event page. I dont use the fan page thing it seems a bit pointless. you have a group set up on FB I think Ian done it you should exploit it by inviting loads of folk and then you can multi invite them to anything anyone does. I done this page through Ill Technicians coz we have more folk than you. good luck man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
