I wanna talk about techno.
I'm going to attempt to relive my experiences so far and so few with MEDMA that have brought me to the cusp of a potentially life-altering opportunity. I joined initially upon hearing about the trips, the parties, and the free mixes that came with being a due-paid member, which I now am. And of course, the free DJ lessons. Last weekend I went to one of those things and vaguely learned how to beatmatch, which is really all the work that a DJ ever does it seems besides selecting sets (which for us usually done beforehand) and hunting down new tracks on the internet.
Literally while I was out word came of an event that is very near and dear to the hearts of the members of 6th floor Douglas in Bursley Hall: the empty quad at the end of the hall has been approved for us to use it however we like. What exactly would we like? The members who were in on the planning process for the club had such fantastic if impractical ideas such as a pool or a lounge. Since these ideas are lame they took it over to 6th Bartlett (the female counterpart to 6th Douglas) and almost unanimously received feedback such as "nightclub" "stripper poles" and "glass cases". At which point our penises got the better of us and we decided to do exactly that.
I was still in transit on the bus back to north when the guy who was spearheading the whole operation started talking to my roommate about the plans, who happened to bring up the fact that I was both in MEDMA and that I had downloaded over 24 hours of electronic dance music from their mix series website. When I walked in they asked me about MEDMA (since I am the only person in it in our hall) so I obviously let them know that I was taking free DJ lessons at down on central. He replied that he had already invested in soundproofing materials for the entire room.
Suddenly I am the official DJ of a makeshift nightclub on the west side of Bursley.
So if you happen to be reading this, here is my plea: give me music. I am not that huge into electronic dance music nor have I ever had any interest in the factioning of music into highly obscure genres, which is a must, apparently, for members of MEDMA. I need private lessons so that I can actually be competent. I need to know where I can find affordable equipment. Come on, internet, don't let me down!
