Burnal Equinox 2009 Part 4

There were four areas, one of which was a private party for a bit, and off limits to us plebian classes, and in each of the areas was a different musical freak out. Being myself, the guy in my clothes that is, I “surfed” the area constantly, with small breaks for dancing and spinning and grooving. One area was, as I said, upstairs. There was one downstairs directly under the one upstairs, one outside by the entrance to the place, and one at the other end on a pier of sorts. The pier one was the most thrilling as every time I was over there dancing I would stop for a moment and feel the entire pier vibrate and jump due to the huge gaggle of people jumping in tandem to the crazy beats spun by the DJ. Upstairs was a guy, he called what he did the mix and match up “as you wait right on the spot for YOU!” He had two wheels one inside the other and would have people, brought up to the wheels by the “mashettes”, who would spin the wheels and then whatever the wheels landed on would be the music he played. One was the music and one would be the vocals. One mash up was sly and the family stone with the music from Breeders cannonball. One was Michael Jackson and beastie boys I think. It was bizarre but tasty at times, though he did kind of peter out at the changes in the music, from one to another that is. He had a ginormous lit up screen with what looked like a windows operating system on it and he would cycle through the different bits and tasty nuggets of music and mash them together. I actually went up to him and said “how bout Dead Kennedy’s and Anne Murray or a hard core religious right onward Christian soldiers?” he said he tried the DK thing, and for a thematic angle it was tasty.
