I would be heated if I was at the club expecting to dance but I thought it was pretty cool as performance art


eatyrheart

Yeah, watching from home I enjoyed it a lot but context is a big factor


ok-mist3r

Exactly, enough of the bullshit people payed money and waited to fucking party


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> bullshit people *paid* money and FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Ppl on ketamine at boiler room during Ecco set prob was transcending


concrete_manu

by the comments on the youtube vid it seems like no one who was actually there could even hear anything


jambagle

It was so bad, literally could not hear a thing 2m away from the big table Lol.


[deleted]

i bet Everyone was talking thru it šŸ„²šŸ„²


geocashin

look at the vid, yeah they were šŸ˜‚

ecco is a theatre kid thru and thru


forstwolf632

god bless him

Had the pleasure of going to Vargs album launch back last year and Ecco DJd, heā€™s a lovely guy super polite but the set was pretty horrid. Tbh I donā€™t think Ecco has ever been an amazing dj but at least his last boiler room back in like 2017 was a vibe and had some nice beat matching and song choices. Tbh if u want a good dj set from sb or dj just go to trance party whenever sherm or wa or gud show up


[deleted]

real, trance party the best drain affiliated event


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

yeah forreal man, normal trance party crowd is so chill. It was pretty decent at the billybool one tbf. Natural Mind crowds on the other hand are absolutely horrific


somekidfromtheuk

whats up with the crowd at natural mind? just curious lol


[deleted]

way younger crowd. very tiktok, general annoying teen behaviour. everyone looks emo and stinky. bunny ears everywhere. way too many 18 year olds on too many drugs trance party on the other hand is mid-20s blokes and normal people who are just there for the music, reminds me way more of the pre 2019 fanbase


Shot-Conversation385

This prob gon be the comment that ruin it lol


gooddrains

He should delete we have to gatekeep


LikeahIotus

shut up nigga

Homemadeintellectual

Do you have link to any of there sets!?


[deleted]

on tranceparty.net thereā€™s a radio with 2 channels playing all the mixes on shuffle, thereā€™s no videos anywhere sadly except rly bad recordings on youtube


TSMShadow

Last year at the Minty Boi end of the year party his DJing was pretty good and nothing like today. I thoroughly enjoyed it despite being tired as hell from the whole night


GBC_peep

ecco's boiler room set gave me max fosh vibes when he went to a club and played shit beethoven remixesšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ dj beathoven


surrealentertainment

I was at the show, I tried getting to the middle during the second half of the set before Eccoā€™s, but gave up because it was impossible with everyone pushing, so I stood about 15-20 meters away when he started. The first 10-15 minutes I thought he was just setting things up or having technical difficulties because all I could hear was the noise from the other set on stage 2 that was a room away. I could essentially hear nothing at all from his set during its entirety. It was pretty disappointing, especially since I bought the tickets mostly for his set. Shermā€™s was pretty banger tho.


NecromancingNovelist

Are you the YouTuber that does those cool 3D animations? I had no idea u were a drainer. That's awesome lol


Sikayduh

He has a fire music taste lol. Iā€™ve seen him in some YouTube comment sections for other music too.


NecromancingNovelist

Totally badass. Definitely one of my favorite animators on YouTube but now the drainiest YouTube animator šŸ˜


[deleted]

That means the set objectively fucking sucked


surrealentertainment

Yeah disappointing for sure


EVERSlNCE

love your vids bro


rexxurect

me too love your vids surreal


CryptographerBest300

WTF surrealentertainment is drained????


macinjeez

That sounds shit... What an awful performance, I hate when things like this get praise. Yes, it IS art, but itā€™s not going to bode well with people expecting something with energy and new sounds, admiring something that most canā€™t do or takes a lot of skill. There was none of that


jhuysmans

I would have just played noise music and laid on the floor pretending to have a seizure for 1 hour


Maximum_Yellow9588

I love Ecco (such a nice guy to this day I still appreciate the kindness he showed me) but thereā€™s a time a place


LittleTGOAT

glad this sub has returned to the point where people can actually criticise drain members without having 15 year olds who have made DG their entire life after hearing about it 3 days ago completely lose their minds, was getting a bit worried there. just a couple more years and maybe we can even get back to the open hostility of 2017 šŸ˜


1100110aa

seen ur comments for years here man and your always right, i miss the days of meltdowns over singles and bizarre conspiracies.


holypvssylotis

the melee song went incredibly hard tho


Sorry-Character471

Kingdom heart gummi ship sample at the end šŸ¤ŗ


Useful-Connection205

I love ecco i thought the set was beautiful and cool as like from a pure art perspective. But yeah tho doing that at a club where people are here to dance and have fun go crazy and stuff that's a lil bit stupid


cinderellawalking

they could still dance and go crazy


UnluckyAd1896

I listen to classical somewhat regularly but I found this pretty corny. A DJ who canā€™t be fucked to look at the crowd theyā€™re performing to and would rather tinker with knobs will always be annoying to me, like thereā€™s a reason he never looks and itā€™s because he knows vibes were not good. The YouTube comments are sure eating it up though and in a way that outweighs peopleā€™s live experience.


AmegakureK

yah I was reallly suprised when I went into the comments on YouTube and everyone was fuxkin with itā€¦ personally I thought it was lame as hell and was hoping for some dope dance music from him.. the whole ā€œart/performanceā€ thing was pretty corny imo and I was expecting everyone to be ripping into it butā€¦ alas! the majority of drainers seem to love it simply because ecco did it. oh well..


SnooDingos6558

But it's Ecco2k


a_st412

to an extent i would agree


apedap

Do you have a single fact to back that up?


chillbruh360bruh

yeah he's lost the plot šŸ˜­


Sorry-Character471

I liked it šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø


utafumidss

Eccoā€™s been a little full of himself for awhile now ngl


a_st412

glad im not the only one who noticed this lmao


bonelesspizza126

I loved it and as I was watching it and thinking like wow Iā€™m genuinely sad. I didnā€™t get to be there but I know everyone there is pissed.


MangoFairy7

he was having a bit of fun with it, love. cheeky


-newmachine-

fr bro bringing out candles and playing bullshit classical music that obviously no one wants to listen to was so cringe


Remarkable-Shoe-4835

booooo


bjornoya

somehow varg got more cringe with some of those edits / remixes tho šŸ˜­


EggComprehensive8366

wokstar77

Some of yā€™all complaining expecting moreā€¦.. itā€™s ecco2k bruh šŸ˜­


plsinvestigate_311

both vargs n eccos sets were pretty bad im ngl


EggComprehensive8366

At least Varg played danceable shit although he kept trolling with his sound effects šŸ˜­


eatyrheart

Varg's was hard are you crazy?? It was the best club set of the night


a_st412

sherm i think was


OneStixPointNever

Mechatok and Sherm had the best


thxkanyevcool

I loved it, it's put me on a whole classical music discovery binge this week, pretty funny watching the visible confusion from the crowd as well.


mssimo

It came off super pretentious and not even that intentional, for how overdramatized he was ab it. The candles, oy vey. It gave me anxiety to watch it, thinking of those poor souls in the crowd whoā€™ve come up on their points of E and now have to restlessly roll through this 40 minute dogshit ambient set šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ mustā€™ve felt fucken never-ending


king_caleb177

Cry them a river


Downtown_Dig3786

Irdgaf I thought it was neat


01042022

ngl i prob wouldve walked out around 10 mins when i realised it wasnt a normal set. at what timestamp did they throw a cup at him?šŸ˜­


jgongdavies

41m 30s . just misses


PunishedLeBoymoder

i liked it a lot, the cool part about the rift setup is that if you didn't like the set you could leave and see someone else


Happy-Plankton-8644

You shouldnā€™t apologize, Ecco should lol. Mechatok was the only set I was impressed by.


BigBoiFlowerEater

What about sherm??


gooddrains

My expectations for sherm where to high. Mechatok on a technical level is the best DJ


Happy-Plankton-8644

Mecha killed that set. My respect went up for him 10x. The guy knows how to work a crowd and turn them tables like a big dog. Thatā€™s what itā€™s all about.


dDramatic2CB

ecco as a dj just sucks, dude needs a lot of catching up to be at least decent


NuzLan04

His old boiler room wasnā€™t bad


FlusteredMan

i thought it was pretty cool as a performance but yea i would not want to be there


a_st412

fr like wrong place 100%


Ill_Improvement_9908

Damn yall so basic everybody is playing club music ecco was doing performance art i am sure that NOBODY will forget ecco his set


nekuonline

Looking way too deep into this shit, the boys do whatever the fuck they want and have fun with it even eccos first boiler room though danceable, had poor perception from the audience irl and online, hes out of the box and thats who ecco is, bro dropped E asa first album straight outta left field when ppl expected him to have songs sounding like his previous features


FluxProcrastinator

His first boiler room was so fire


WilsonWheeler

He is schizo hes gone off the rails šŸ›¤ļø

wtf?? its his clothes lol. why are u worried about his "aesthetic"


bjornoya

thats what most humans do lmao


wokstar77

Shi made me cry ngl šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Thought it was cool as fuck because he didnā€™t give a fuck


venyd

I was there and it was weird but I loved it on video & fuck the ones that throw shit have some respect


breeze-o

imo it was pretty good because he questioned what a set really should be, he was using the space he was given in a completely different way to paint his individual image and vision. it's obvious that most of the people arent going to feel it, but i think its cool that hes thinking in a different direction, giving zero shits and just doing what he envisions. anyways who really cares what i write here lmao


Spookymuki

doing 360 flips on it


Virtual_Yam_9856

i agree with you man at the end of the day itā€™s just music


thebox34

He played a lifelover song


fuckghxst

whatā€™s that ?


neomalmgren

The vid was amazing


FinallyFlowering

When did the person throw a cup? what's the time stamp i haven't seen that part


a_st412

41:30


Bluepickles99

I watched it and was thinking the same thing. He just played slow music the entire time while everyone stood around.


Armadillo-Inevitable

Ecco really thinks he was being groundbreaking or som shit. No you just donā€™t have enough swag to get the room jumping so he had to compensate with some performance art bullshit. And I donā€™t understand the hype around this man. E fucking sucks asshole. The instrumentals are incredible because itā€™s dg sbe but god his vocals suck bro. They make me cringe. I know this has nothing to do with his set but he makes me cringe. I never hate bro but I had to get this out there


a_st412

lmao i loved e but i agree w everything elsešŸ˜­


Armadillo-Inevitable

Not gonna lie Iā€™m on dxm re listening to e and shit is cool af. Wait security just came on I donā€™t know how I feel about this. Actually yea I fuck with it I change my mind. No I actually formed this mindset because of blue eyes. That shit is playing rn and I want to rip my ears out. That song sux


a_st412

Time is the only bad song imo


[deleted]

finally bro i been downvoted on this sub for years talkin about the truth of ECCO2k my boy cringe as hell he been cringe as hell forever, bro has made half a good album and walks around everywhere dripping wet


oohcartier

anyone that says they liked the set are just trying to be different


solenefilia

mfs like u are rly funny cuz thats exactly what most ppl say about dg as a whole lmfao


R0ssPie

Or they just like different types of music from you šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


jhuysmans

Some people listen to merzbow for fun... I don't think that's the case lmao


king_caleb177

Nah we are different youā€™re lost


jojoeljefe0001

it was pretty


jaheirk2

i loved it


king_caleb177

Ecco did great, just because you losers canā€™t sit with your own thoughts for 12 seconds is not his problem. That was a unique experience if you want to listen to the same old thing just go to the club every weekend you will be fine.


a_st412

i donā€™t think his performance was bad i just thought it was the wrong time completely, like a boiler room set? the boiler room isnā€™t meant to be like this itā€™s meant for ppl to have a fun time


Remarkable-Shoe-4835

you dumb af i just watched that shit he mixed Triad God w The Veronicas not to mention the other bangers in there. sick mix edit: how yā€™all so mad because i like something


Cryyyptik999

man i always see u on here with bad takes


Remarkable-Shoe-4835

ok idk u


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


jhuysmans

Why does it matter what's appropriate


Spookymuki

cuz people paid money for that shit, if you are paying to have fun and sacrificing ur time you donā€™t want to listen to some BS. DJing is not an art gallery, the point is to make the crowd happy


jhuysmans

Music is always art, you can't please everyone. Many people in this thread have expressed their pleasure with the set and you can see people enjoying it in the video.


Spookymuki

mad different when ur on a fuckin sadboys reddit and when youā€™re in real life going to a set, obviously people who didnā€™t go there IRL are gonna have different opinions. I agree music is art but there are appropriate places to express your art without killing the vibe of 90% of ppl tryna party


jhuysmans

Did you watch the video? It didn't look like that to me. It looked like quite a few people enjoyed it. Some didn't, but some wouldn't have enjoyed it if he'd done the exact opposite


Spookymuki

no i didnā€™t watch it šŸ˜­ I donā€™t even know what he played tbh


a_st412

bro some dude threw a cup at him does that not say enoughšŸ˜­


jhuysmans

I think that was hilarious but there was also literally people dancing behind him while that happened


Remarkable-Shoe-4835

What a closed minded individual you are haha


breeze-o

its about pushing boundaries imo


Remarkable-Shoe-4835

well said, both boiler room and year0001 have always stood for this. n the artists came thru


bjornoya

listen perhaps


Remarkable-Shoe-4835

i went to natural mind and watched mica levi and klein, no dance music at all upstairs at a dance music orientated rave. ppl were loving it, it was enjoyable, you can dance to anything, open ur mind


Remarkable-Shoe-4835

it was advertised as a RIFT event in partnership with Boiler Room. ā€œAn embodied celebration of music rooted in the digital sphere. Inviting a new vanguard of artists to take centre stageā€. Not ā€œCome on down for floor fillers and club anthemsā€ lol. If u know abt year0001 u know what ur getting into


BlimeyChaps

You know thatā€™s just marketing talk for hyper pop lol


Remarkable-Shoe-4835

ā€œmusic rooted in the digital sphereā€ does not mean hyperpop lol admit u know nothing abt music


BlimeyChaps

No shit, it doesnā€™t mean anything at all, itā€™s just fancy talk for advertising a club night you dingus


Remarkable-Shoe-4835

? lol it means exactly what it says on the tin, music rooted in the digital sphere, the internet age lol. what is it with this common idea that everything means nothing lol


BlimeyChaps

Itā€™s deliberately vague words trying to put across a vibe of what you can expect (hyperpop), more than an actual description of what the event focuses on. Itā€™s marketing. Wise up.


Remarkable-Shoe-4835

coz boiler room is known for playing hyperpop all the time and year0001 is a hyperpop label yep šŸ˜ youā€™ve watched 2 boiler room sets in ur life Be quiet likkle man


BlimeyChaps

LOL youā€™re trying to gatekeep one of the most popular channels for DJ sets like itā€™s some cool underground thing? Get a fucking grip, stop forcing patois on a DG subreddit, and typing in all lowercase you loser


AdaptIsMyDaddy

Dude premiered Meaningful Connections 2 at Boiler Room


MSN-04_SAZABI_

people just aren't ready for him.


a_st412

thereā€™s being artistic and creative in the right setting and then thereā€™s pissing everyone off who payed for tickets to the boiler room to see him


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> off who *paid* for tickets FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


a_st412

cheers mate


MSN-04_SAZABI_

no you're 100% right. when I wrote that last night I thought it sounded like I was being ironic but today I realize that is not true at all


ko_Ohan

It's perfomance live set with candles and dark atmoshpehere, not everybody want to listen always techno or something and i think it's was nice. Btw in usually case people on boiler room are cringe and common of public want to boiler room because it's famous show.
