dj astroboy's St. Louis events

Tribes Of Unity
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 1993 Promoter: M.A.R.S. DJs: Kevin Brock, Jeff Feller, Brad S., Merlin

O.K. so I'm not on the flyer. It was the first time I played in St. Louis though. As soon as I moved here, I called the MARS voicemail and told them I wanted to give them a tape. (Two of the MARS people, Boomer and Chuck are still in the scene in a big way: check out Nepol Records & Deeper Pitch). In those days, DJs were few and far between, so they were very open to listening to me. Very fun party. It was probably the last time I played happy hardcore or "proto-jungle" as I like to call it...

Hellraver II
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 1993 Promoter: Bob Barker DJs: Mr. C, Mindrive, XOM, Terry Mullan, Marc Buxton, Jajo, Jeff Feller, Matt Brendel, Miko

Very cool wooden floor warehouse party. I loved the way they set up the speakers at the four corners of the dance floor cuz it makes people want to dance with each other instead of at the dj. I like that more than the concert-like setups where the dj is at the center of a pair of speakers.

Sykodelik Peace Phreaks
Date: November 13th, 1993 Promoter: MARS DJs: Jajo, Kevin Brock, Waxee, Smokes

That old Jack Daniels distillery was a wonderful space.

Soopafly
Date: January 29th, 1994 Promoter: MARS DJs: Terry Mullan, Marc Buxton, Merlin, Matt Brendle, Jajo, Steve-O, Ron S.

Yen and Venus were so amazing that night.

Love Generator
Date: Saturday, February 12th, 1994 Promoter: Superstars of Love DJs: Jon Williams, Josh Wink, Jas, Terry Mullan, Merlin, Stella, Kevin Brock, Droid, Jajo, Mindrive, Morbe, Waxee


Oh, What a Night!!! I played to myself in a little room out front very early and it was cold! Then I listened to Jon Williams and Wink play some of the tracks I had just played and people were loving it and I was psyched because I was on the right track at last. I got to play again in the third room, the one that you had to go through that funny curved tunnel-like hallway and it was fun, but the power went out a couple of times. I think there were a lot of people that were at that party that never realized there was a third room, but that's Ok 'cuz it was packed and sweaty.

Metamorphosis
Date: Saturday, March 12th, 1994 Promoter: Mr. Ephedrine & Merlin DJs: Garth, Lego, Noel, Jeremy Reese, Terry Mullan, Merlin, Jajo

My first-ever color flyer! I was so nervous before the party I had completely planned my set out and played it at the party in the exact order. Funny thing, I was completely relaxed at the actual event...

Experience
Date: Saturday, April 2nd, 1994 Promoter: Sta-Phresh Krew DJs: Derrick Carter, David Hollands, Kevin Brock, Waxee, Icon, Smokes, Adrian, Dreamscape, Radha

Incredibly, I was spinning some 140-150 bpm trance and some guy waving a big can of schlitz malt liquor tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I "had any Nirvana". Wow.

2008: A Love Odyssey
Date: April 23rd, 1994 Promoter: Superstars of Love DJs: Keoki, Scott Hardkiss, Mystic Bill, Davey Dave, Terry Mullan, Jajo, Merlin, Marc Buxton, Jethrox, R.P. Smack, Matt Brendle, Morbe, Droid, Ray Velasquez, Riverman PAs: Sundowners and The Tribe

Of course if you've seen this flyer in person, you know that I'm not doing it justice. Silver on a textured black paper, it's totally unique.

Ritual
Date: May 13th & 14th, 1994 Promoter: Superstars of Love DJs: Jeno, Reese, Mystic Bill, Jajo, Jeff Feller, Harry, Thome Tomato

This party went off! all weekend! An amazing ambient room full of drummers.

Bliss
Date: May 20th, 1994 Promoter: Spiritual Groove & Superstars of Love DJs: Richie Hawtin, Jajo, Merlin, Stretch

Life is good when you have Rich trapped in a filthy concrete basement room that holds about fifty people. Sweat, you.

A Miracle
Date: Saturday, July 9th, 1994 Promoter: Superstars of Love DJs: Jon Williams, Wade Randolph Hamptom, Brad (SF), Mindrive, Diz

I can't believe we got shut down before Jon got to play. His music is simply without peer.

Bliss
Date: Friday, June 24th, 1994 Promoter: Spiritual Groove DJs: DJ Dmitry, Jajo, Jason Tartt

Dmitry is a sweetheart, a true joy to work with. His enthusiasm and positive energy really carried the night despite poor planning on the part of the promoter.

Deeeper
Date: July 16th, 1994 Promoter: Jajo DJs: Ralphie Rosario, Robbie Hardkiss, Keoki, Reese, Mystic Bill, Jajo

This party got busted pretty early. I was smart and requested an early set, so I got to spin before the cops sent everyone home. Fun, in a twisted sorta way.

This was supposed to be one of those four day outdoor monstrosities. Looks kinda ambitious huh? Yep, you guessed it: busted again. If I remember correctly, this was the party where the SWAT team was watching people from the trees. Wade, Wade, Wade...what am I ever going to do with you?

Brilliant party execution and promotion by Ms. Dawn Cuddy. I still say the pre-flyer was cooler than the final version...
