Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: babar on October 27, 2007, 10:49:45 am hello, im new to the tulsa area, ive been a dj
for around 11 yrs, and producing for about 7 yrs. i was surprised to see that tulsa at a glance has almost no electronic music scene, almost all indie rock and whatnot, not that i have anything against indie rock, i grew up on punk and hardcore, but as i got older i developed a taste for good electronic dance music. recently i applied to guitar center's pro audio department, got the job, and now im wondering, should i think about starting an electronic scene here? or, if there is indeed an underground party scene with "real" dj's can someone please point me in the right direction lol, thx:) Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: sgrizzle on October 27, 2007, 10:56:18 am well you're about 2 weeks late for the OK Electric festival:
http://www.myspace.com/okelectric While you're not going to find a strong scene there is one. Check out the bands listed on the above myspace. Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: babar on October 27, 2007, 11:23:49 am thx sgrizzle, i'll send a request to that
page, hopefully can find some events to throw down at:) Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: mr.jaynes on October 27, 2007, 11:27:13 am Throw in some DJ Sasha Dith, some Frankie Knuckles and some Junior Vasquez, maybe some Brian Eno and some Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream, you'll have a festival, guaranteed.
Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: babar on October 27, 2007, 11:34:57 am so what would you say is the most popular style
then? house? that i guess is the standard anywhere, and by all means i can play it, but i am a psy trance artist. i play full on psychedelic trance, which by no means is like traditional trance music. if you are not familiar with it, i can elaborate. Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: mr.jaynes on October 27, 2007, 11:37:41 am quote: I dig on House, as well as Industrial and Trance. Eurodance is some of my fave. Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: babar on October 27, 2007, 11:49:35 am well, i have to be honest, psy trance is a far
cry from euro dance hall trance. it's about 20x more complex, and the tempo is a bit faster... for some examples of my work, check out the tracks on my page at myspace.com/babarsatarva check out "destination emagination" and the "new beginning rmx" the first and last tracks are a bit dark, and takes some warming up to for most. Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: mr.jaynes on October 27, 2007, 12:01:38 pm quote: So far so good-I wish you continued success. Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: babar on October 27, 2007, 12:12:20 pm thx mr.jaynes:)
Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: mr.jaynes on October 27, 2007, 12:31:20 pm And when I get move back to Tulsa-and that'll be within 6 months-I hope to meet you and the rest of everyone else on this site!

Post by: Conan71 on October 27, 2007, 03:11:13 pm I used to love techno, industrial, electronic, etc. and spent a lot of time at SRO back in the day. I guess I'm getting too old. I won't even go to In The Raw on 61st any more because they play it so loud you have to shout over it to talk to the person sitting next to you.
Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: TURobY on October 27, 2007, 03:51:51 pm There used to be an active scene back before 2002 that was shared between Tulsa and OKC. Ever since OKCRaves.com was taken down, I haven't really heard about many other parties. I know that we used to have several promoters in town. Here are some of the bigger ones that I can recall:
Deeper Productions UAT (http://"http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=3457253") Vertigo (http://"http://www.vertigoParties.com") Vinyl Technic Zoedapop - No longer promoting You can also check out: http://www.rave-planet.com/ Title: Tulsa = no electronic music?

[:)] Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: rusenec on November 03, 2007, 06:13:40 pm Babar,check this site out.I think You will find
useful info about the electronic dance music scene in Tulsa and Oklahoma City: http://www.okdancemusic.com/ I am from Europe and this type of music is very popular there in the clubs.When I came here five years ago,I was surprised to find out what you have found out too.Not good EDM scene. But I think things are getting better.I my self listen to trance,breakbeats and house.My favourite hobby is turntablism(mostly scratching over breakbeats and hiphop). One realy good place for trance and house is club "Templ" in Tulsa.Very european looking small club with a good DJ(DJ Monad) Title: Tulsa = no electronic music?

Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: mr.jaynes on November 04, 2007, 11:15:36 am quote: Conan, I remember SRO. Pretty cool place back then. Are they still around? For good music of this genre, check out a group called Groove Coverage! http://www.groove-coverage.de/site.php Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: Conan71 on November 04, 2007, 03:14:06 pm The name SRO finally faded away in the early '90's. Barrazza left Tulsa somewhere around 2000 for good, as I understand. SRO is now a gangsta/homey place.

Has it changed that much in the past couple of months? Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: rwarn17588 on November 04, 2007, 09:17:46 pm Electronic music = disco.
Not that it's a bad thing. Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: Conan71 on November 05, 2007, 09:32:47 am quote: I was referring to Rehab Lounge where the former SRO was at 18th & Boston. Maybe things have changed, but it had a rough reputation as recently as six months ago. Title: Tulsa = no electronic music? Post by: TURobY on November 05, 2007, 01:30:30 pm quote: Yeah, we are talking about the same place. I forgot how much time has passed since I've been there. I guess it was about a year ago that I last went there. Title: Tulsa = no electronic music?
