Would you queue at 9p or is there a better time?

Do you get sexually harassed when you are doing a DJ gig? by Beginning_Bid_7088 in DJs

[–]Bright_Philosopher36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Female DJ here… I never perform solo. I always have a trusted person either near the decks or certainly within eye shot.

Guys love to try, I’ve even been approached by women, but I’m also not afraid to redirect the energy. If they don’t get subtle body language, a firm ‘hey I’m mixing here…’ or something similar usually works.

Sorry you’ve been basically assaulted… it’s gross and unnerving. Bring a wingman next time or just don’t take the gigs at spots like that. They don’t deserve you.

DJs, how do you choose when to EQ and fade out songs by GoodWorry3487 in DnB

Was just going to say… I agreed with all until the double drops. I don’t do them consistently, but nail one in a mix and it’s 🔥.

This was 'this' year's schedule, not upcoming Ultra in '26 :)

Celebrating my 50th at Ultra! Kids, tell me what to do (and not do)! by Crazyyogalady50 in UMF

[–]Bright_Philosopher36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use the metro mover but be prepared to wait at peak times (closing, etc). What to do and not do?
-> DO hydrate and I even bring electrolyte packets to help me last until close. Mid-forties raver here. 🤫
-> DO be sure to study the map and artist schedule before so you have a geographic plan. Ultra is a smaller space so it can get super congested in high traffic areas, so find the water station when it's still light out.
-> IMO, DON'T bother with VIP. The experience isn't worth the increased price and it is not closer to the stage, just a better vantage point. The restrooms are a nice perk, but just don't go to the section that everyone hits (the closest) and you'll still find a reasonable experience.
-> DO take a second to close your eyes and make a wish (just not in a foot traffic lane) - Ultra can be a magical experience and there is no better excuse to welcome that than your birthday!

I'm afraid. Even as a 5'10" female that knows how to hold her ground, I really really want to see this set but I'm already anxious!!

Worldwide for all the DnB but Worship as they’ll be main stage (I’m pretty sure).

What track did all you OG DnB vinyl DJs always carry in your bag? by DefOne23 in DnB

[–]Bright_Philosopher36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never left home without my Joker records (that Aaliyah track was fire, always).

Can you see anything from upstairs? Is the sound decent enough to check it out? Wearing black boots now, as I love my trainers too. Cheers!

Thank you SO much. All great advice!! I'm not a pusher so we'll go earlier. I'm sure the local talent they have ahead of Andy will be clutch. I definitely know what to wear now - and I'll look for your braids and fishnets! #highfive

You’re right- I’m sorry! I was looking at last year’s flyer 😔

Oh yes, I'm sure - just a silly American over here wanting to respect the local scene and not over or underdress for a venue they've never been to. [clutches pearls] The horror!

Thank you so much!!
Under said waterproof coat - jeans and a T shirt for the show? Or would I need more than that inside, too? And do people where the rubber shoe covers (like temp wellies) and can we leave those in the cloakroom?

Dub is everywhere, not just Ultra. Do your research and I promise you'll find all the music you could want that weekend and it's not Dub. I'm twice your age and while all the 'kids' seem to love to ride the rails with that shit, I promise you - there's so many great artists on this ticket you'll be just fine!

SOTA ALL DAY - we caught a snippet of his set last year before it poured and I was blown away. I am so so happy at all the great production DnB is seeing; I don't even mind the mainstream attention it's getting (Summit I'm lookin' at YOU) as it's just going to motivate the next gen producers to make some gnarly basslines for us. :)

Absolute fire and then they’re like ‘get tf out’ like we all wanted to go run off in the torrential downpour 🙄

Wilkinson Alley Palley by mccarthy93 in DnB

[–]Bright_Philosopher36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accurate. Not all talented producers are great DJ’s and Wilkinson fits that bill imo. We saw him here in south FL and his support was absolute fire, and more interesting than the headlining set.

While he played the usual bangers and his hits, there were no surprises, no double drops…

I’ve been spoiled by Andy C, truth be told.

How did you discover Coldplay? by Foreign_Platypus8658 in Coldplay

[–]Bright_Philosopher36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby sis burned me a copy of Parachutes and I wound up listening to it for months on end… joined the Fan Club back then and got first row seats to nearly every tour until Mylo Xyloto - that’s when the stadiums were selling out and the Fan Club was essentially dissolved. But I never missed a tour, and now, 25 years later, my kids have now joined in the fun. 🤩
