...my name is Daniel, I helped throw Zoolu last Mardi Gras (1995). This year in Louisiana has seen the rave scene grow to a steady 400 to 500 people for the local New Orleans parties, and up to 1000 for the bigger parties that have color flyers and national DJs. This year for Mardi Gras, we have a huge event planned yet again. Actually, its two events. The first on Feb. 17, the saturday of Mardi Gras weekend, features Rabbit in the Moon live PA, Micro, Nigel Richards, Eric Haupt, Astroboy, Monk, Fuzz (local) and Evil Eddee (local). The second date is the Monday before Fat Tuesday, Feb. 19, and features Terry Mullan, Cyberjive, Feelgood, Nigel Richards, Reese, Bizz, Voodoo (local), Michael Scott (local), Jinx (local), and Stryfe (me!!!). You probably know Voodoo and Michael Scott as the team behind the breakbeat smash, Everybody Thinks I'm High and I am (DJ Voodoo and the Liquid Method). The first hit record EVER out of the New Orleans scene on Black Magic Records.
Moon Patrol Productions is the production co. that Evil Eddie and I are behind, and we are the ones who throw the big shows and the only ones who fly in DJ's. This year we've had Astroboy, Trevor Lamont, Mindrive, and Cyberjive down, and after Mardi Gras there will be monthly parties from Moon Patrol featuring national talent. Other Production companies that operate on a smaller level include Da' Bomb Squad, After Dark Productions, Girly Girl Productions, and S+M productions. They rotate once a week parties so there is constantly something happening, leading up to the big Moon Patrol monthlies.
With the growth of the N.O. scene, parties have sprung up in Baton Rouge and Laffayette that are small, but the newness of it all creates a thick vibe for virgin partygoers. Shreveport, in northern LA has a strong scene, due to its close proximity to Dallas. The kids here like their beats hard, so you'll hear a lot of stuff in the 140 bpm area, but the DJ's here have diverse styles. The main players DJ wise are Evil Eddee (Detroit techno, minimal Chicago House), Fuzz (hard acid), Stryfe (goa, hard trance), Lost Boy (drop bass hardcore, and breakbeat) Steve Lavie (hard acid, jungle), Dave Manic (hard detroit techno), and 007 (hard trance, techno.) There are quite a few others who play once in a while.
Our info line Moon Patrol : 504-840-4112. We are setting up a 1-800-number for the Mardi Gras event, the flyers are in and they are PHAT!!!! 11 by 17 designed by Ladybug graphics (I don't know if you saw the flyer for ladybug two, but if you did then you know the quality).
