an outdoor festival that totally caters to the DNB/dubstep/breaks crowd. which is okay, but ya know. not every EDM genre is represented there, so that's kinda ********ty.
i don't think there'll be anything remotely melodic there, trance is out and people don't even know what happy hardcore is here on the west coast so that's out too!
i just signed up to volunteer there for 3 days, it goes for a total of 6. i'm also thinking of bringing some happy hardcore for shits and giggles and layin' down some older stuff there on a renegade sound stage.
this should be fun. i've never been before and I am looking forward to it!! i'm actually moving to this small town called nelson about 30 minutes away from there. it's in the middle of nowhere but living in nelson will be handy for getting back and forth.
check out the pics though, looks WILD!! and the lineup @ www.shambhalamusicfestical.com
can't find any other pics at the moment, but it's huge and amazing from what i have heard. best of all set in a forest in beautiful British Columbia, Canada!! the only outdoor festies i've been to were in sweaty, wide-open fields in ontario (gross).
can't wait volunteer so i get in for free and to piss people off with some quality hardcore (what i think is quality anyway). i'm laughing at the thought of it actually...
anyone hear of this before? thoughts? should i bring hardcore to an event such as this? i'm thinking that the BC crowd has just not been introduced to it, or the right kind... what is everyone's thoughts on BC being in the dark about HHC?

would you spin hardcore at an exclusively non hardcore event, given the chance? i'm sure there will be countless renegade stages setup there... shouldn't be a problem to find one.
the main thing i'm anxious about is having people from my school see me playing this type of music, especially since it's largely unknown here. spinning dnb wouldn't be a problem there, if i had any... but i'm smiling at the thought of playing hardcore anyway. it's so large that the likelihood of anyone i know seeing me there is pretty slim.
i just want to make everyone that hears it either say "WTF is that stuff! wow, i remember that! or that sounds so different than all the other stuff i've heard here all weekend"

Looks epic man!
It depends what kind of Hardcore you are mixing. There is Hardcore most DnB fans will like and there is Hardcore most DnB fans will hate.
I wouldn't play anything too melodic as the clownish melodies are what the people from these scenes dislike the most. Stuff like "John Peel is not Enough", "Transmission To Mars" or "Drifting Away" should be fine imo. All DnB heads love CLSM over here! But I don't know how it's over there.
The best thing you could do is mix DnB with Hardcore, but it has to be harder DnB in this case and tracks that fit together from the mood, you know.
That means, not mixing a banging Hardcore track and then suddenly a boring DnB liquid song (or a smashin Techstep track and then some crappy commercial Hardcore).
I wouldn't care about your school mates being there and seeing you mixing, where the hell is your self-confidence?!
Personally, when I had played DnB once, I played "Hits You Like Thunder" from Darwin as a last track, and people really loved it :) So yeah.. it's always a risk, but what would life be without any risks?!
