Event id #1577 : DATASTORM 2010
UP ROUGH SOUNDSYSTEM, GENESIS PROJECT and DIVINE STYLERS invites you to DATASTORM 2010!
The demo party for oldskool platforms. Only.
PREFACE
Sweden has since 1998 been blessed with the world's greatest summer party, Little Computer People, delivering
hot data action for the oldskool crowd year after year. While we are grateful to the Hack'n'Trade posse for
having us boozing, computing, and socializing each year, we curse them for the hardcore one year data-abstinence
they inflict upon us inbetween each party...
Since we obviously can't get rid of the addiction, we have now decided to accept it and even take it to the next
level by doubling the dose! The winter-time withdrawal syndromes has finally come to an end for all you oldskool
fanatics: The absolute swedish elite has gathered to bring you the best fucking fix of Amiga/C64/Console axxion ever!
THE DEAL
Up Rough Soundsystem, Genesis Project & Divine Stylers hereby invite you to DATASTORM 2010! The ultimate winter party for people operating on machines with SOUL. It's going down on the the 5:th of February 2010 and keeps going until the 7:th of February 2010! Can you dig it?
Partylocation is the city of Gothenburg at the swedish westcoast - the stronghold of the swedish amigascene.
The city is easy to reach through two international airports, ferry and train.
The entrance fee is set to 200 SEK (~20E), with dinner included on Saturday and breakfast included on
Saturday and Sunday. Only swedish currency accepted.
PARTYPLACE
You know that when we do stuff, we do it right, and this time we have put in extra effort to make that dreary
weekend in February something special. The party will be hosted at a night club in an industrial complex, close to
the centre of Gothenburg, providing that special mix of roughness and cozyness that we all love. In addition to the tables on which to put your real hardware on, although we allow laptops for cross-dev purposes, we have lounge areas with cozy sofas and arm chairs where you can comfortably sit around and talk about that new
cruncherroutine you've been working on for the last decade or whatever...
FEATURES
Having the party at a nightclub is something special. The greatest difference from other small parties is that
DATASTORM will feature a proper bar with service-minded personnel that works as long as people are awake and will
serve thirsty party freax with an endless supply of beer, wine, and softdrinks. But a party is not just about
drinking right? We also hired some cooks that will deliver vegetarian and non-vegeterarian breakfast, dinner,
and supper on announced times. When the special meals are not served, barfood like pizza, hummousrolls, falafel
and kebab can be ordered as long as the bar is open. Everything to a price that even the scener on a budget
can afford! Ofcourse you can also buy snacks, candy and tobacco at all times. And the coffee is free, so you don't
fall asleep before your releases are finished in time for the competition!
Here is a list with all features of the party, more stuff might be added in the future so stay tuned!
* Bar open almost 24h with full assortment of cheap beer/wine/softdrinks.
* 2 Breakfasts and 1 Dinner included in entrance fee, vegeterian alternatives available.
* A variety of cheap barfood is available anytime.
* Snacks and tobacco available 24h.
* Superchill environment with cozy furniture.
* 6 clean toilets. No queues! Never pee your pants! Freedom!
* Powerful nightclub soundsystem!
* Cocktail data - we strive to get the perfect mix of socializing and computing!
SPECIAL GUESTS
* The grandfather of moduleswappers returns! Slash / Citron. is back! He will bring his customized
hippodecks to deliver the finest zak ever written in protracker. Bring your boathorns and your guns!
This is one show you don't wanna miss! Pull up selecta! Move Rudebwoy Move!
* More stuff is coming.. Stay tuned!

Great! Thankxs! Fun! 32 nodes!
Regarding sound... It seems today people are not so good at making noise with their monitors. Or is it just me? Didn't parties used to have this constant dissonance of *many* different demos n stuff being played? Did the big soundsystem kill it, or was it a consequence?
Anyway... next Datastorm I'm bringing my gotoblaster!
EDIT: @Frantic: Personally, the volume was a lot worse at last year's LCP (since I was closer to the speaker, I guess). |

i am aware that the volume was unacceptable high sometimes during the friday, and i noticed that the megamix was fucking loud as well when i had time to smoke for the first time, we are sorry for that.. the damping of the right speaker (which we first thought had died when we used the system at mid-level on the clean-up) made the volume much lower for the sound technician than for the people standing close to the left speaker..
but was this really a problem during the compo as well? we (the sound people in the djbooth) could even talk comfortable with eachother and the bar without raising our voices for the whole compo.. |

@Yonx: The volume was a lot better during the compo I think.. You're right about that.
@Goto80: I thought the same about the "missing" soundscape of 99 monitors.. ...and it was a shame that sound was broken on the monitor that I brought to Datastorm. I was definitely planning to pollute the partyplace with the sounds from that monitor! Regarding too loud at LCP... Yeah.. well.. uh uh.. okok. :)

Macx and zzapp69 did their best to try and pollute the audiosphere.. My puny JBL crap speakers gave their best shot at supporting their intentions, but lost against the almighty Alaskan Left.. Next time, I'll Amp Up ;)
Parties should have lots of different noise imo. ...and a bit of silence every once in a while... Silence before the Storm of course ;)
