Deep Electro

Ok I am on a totally different wavelength from you cos when I heard deep electro my immediate thought was of lush, probably melancholic melodies on top of an electro chassis, maybe I'm getting this utterly wrong then... I'd be interested to know what the others are thinking regarding the place of melodies in so-called deep electro.

Edit; I dig the tune anyhow
Deep (although I believe we should try to skip that word from now on) = 'sparse' to me I guess. Melodies are something to be very skeptical about when doing dance music in my world anyways.

Some of the stuff I regard as deep and used to play, with a little bit of melody/basslines:

Seems as though you know more about the place than me... I've only been there once, dunno why cos when I finally went there I thought it was pretty much the best club in Lisbon (though apparently I was lucky that the programming was quite different that time and right up my street).

It sounds like it's trying to be a really highbrow, up-market version of Ministy Of Sound.

lol no. despite the bougie monicker, it's mostly a dark sweaty room full of ppl acting weird on drugs.

i was rly bummed out the one time i went, probably on account of my going super hard the night before.

in the hour or so i was there, i smonked wheat with the dj, pop locked to some sick electro, and watched
a colombian dude with whom i'd just discussed champeta be carried out by security after doing too much of
something in the toilets. there was a 40-ish looking blond lady at the door who just had a phenomenally
good vibe about her. she winked at me very coquettishly, possibly bc i was speaking portuguese to a stray cat
while waiting to get in. i have never forgotten this for some reason.

The name is cos the building was the ministry of finance or something before. I guess that is fair enough.

Like I say, I went there once and it's a pretty cool building obviously in that it used to be a government office, and it's changed pretty nicely into a midsize club. My friends who've been several times have said the music can be pretty bland house or tech-house, or... various styles beginning with the descriptor "pretty bland" - I suppose to fill a club that big in a town this small you have to be a bit safe/commercial, fair enough. They all seemed to have had a good time though in a nice place, good crowd, decent vibe, ok music.

But when I went the main room was quite taste and they said it was unusual and I was lucky. There was a smaller room upstairs as well which I think shut about three and everyone had to go to the main room - I can't imagine that bothered them that much though cos the music was surprisingly similar in both rooms, seems a very odd choice to me, if you got two rooms then seems the obvious thing is give people a choice, something quite different

I'm sorry to say this but, cos I'm English, when I see that phrase or word, although I know at the conscious level that you are using bummed in an American sense, meaning something like you were pissed off - or, what, tired maybe? - the meaning of that sentence that hits me straight away at a pre-conscious level is that the night before you had such a stonking erection that on the day in question you were unable to perform so instead you were fucked in the arse.

It can't be just me surely?

Didn't see her. That was the night when we got attacked by some nutter chucking bottles at us and I think we were deep in discussion of that as we went in (and in fact we picked it up again from the same point when we left five hours later), paying no attention to our surroundings, can't remember the entrance bit at all.

it never dawned on me that it might sound a bit odd for someone to casually say "yeah, I was a little bummed the other day."

It does yeah. It's not like an esoteric or archaic use, in England it really does just mean that and even though my mind can correct me, that is unavoidably how I first understand it.

Can't remember where I saw it the other day when someone was talking about two homeless people doing the do and they described it as bum sex. Did a double-tke then of course.

*sucks down a fag* yes no yes youre right. i had been eating gas station dick pills all day, prior to going
to ministerium, so my hog WAS mad turgid when i got to the clud and yes i DID for sure get my donut glazed
by at least 68 hot lisboa bros in that blue lit second room you mention. anyone who read my post and thought
that i might be feeling serotonin depleted bc i went two unhinged kuduro parties the night before
(+ whatever the fuck Lux Fragil is supposed to be) clearly needs Duolingo.

Kuduro was that the Principe thing?

Kuduro was that the Principe thing?
one was a block party in Zona J put together by Principe genius superhero DJ Nigga Fox called Zona Não Vigiada,
who played one of the greatest sets i have ever seen in my entire life, the other was an afterparty at Damas
(the nice disco, not the terrifying brothel), featuring the unstoppable DJ Maboku, alongside a bunch of local rappers.
Lux Fragil is fucin pice of shit nad i hate it.
