This Weekend, New York Glows


Naughty Neon Promo by Djritalin718

Are you ready for what's going to be the biggest party in NY since Showtek? Then get ready to experience Glow: Naughty Neon 2. This is an event not to miss; if it's not for the shear amount of volume that will be in the house, you'll want to be there for the lineup. If not for the kick ass line up, it'll be for the atmosphere of the venue. If not for that it'll be for all the attractions. Whatever your reason, Original Brooklyn and NYCR are making sure you want to be at Naughty Neon.

Ohhh Yes By: Sam Froond
Back and bigger than the last one, this event will be housed in the Cultural Performing Arts Center of Brooklyn. The spot is enormous! There enough space in this venue for almost 5,000 people. According the invite so far, over 3,000 people said they were coming through, and a little birdie told me presales were NUTS. There's going to be a huge crowd at this one so it's good they have an even larger venue.





The lineup is so insane! Original Brooklyn and NYCR are bringing in some major headliners from around the world! In the mix you have: Lisa Lashes, Isaac, Dieselboi, Drop the Lime, Dj Irene, Soulslinger, Urban Assault, Hellfire Machina, Charles Feelgood, X-Dream... all part of 39 Djs that will be spinning over the course of the night. That's right! between single and tag team sets, there will be close to 40 Djs making you move your feet here. 

Lineup!!
The production crews are also making sure that you are entertained no matter what! They are bringing in a video game truck, a UV lit moon bounce, fresh fruit, massage tables, food vendors, clothing and gloving vendors (Electrik Graffiti!), fetish performances and gogo dancing by NYCR Eyecandy, and even a Naughty Lingerie Competition with a cash prize!

Glover's Spotlight: Legion

What's good everyone! It's Paus3 and we're back on EGP for a brand new Glover's Spotlight! With me today is an amazing glover, good friend, and fellow raver, Carlos! Thanks for being with us today man!

Baller
[PAUS3] Let's start with a little bit about your gloving history, how did you originally get into gloving?
[Carlos] I originally started gloving when I saw my friend Tarry Diamonds give it a try at a rave called Ecstasy May of last year. So I've been gloving for technically 9 months but I started to get really into it during the summer of last year. At first I was discouraged to glove because I didn't know how to do anything, it literally took me two months to get down finger roles.


What's your favorite part about gloving?

My favorite part of giving a light show is when the person I have given the show to thanks me and appreciates the show. My most favorite moments is when someone all of a sudden cracks a smile because they love the show so much; those are the moments I live for in my gloving, not the bugging out facial expression, or the soul snatcher (when someone is so entranced by the show that once your done they don't react for several seconds) its that kiddish smile that makes a light show heartfelt to me.

Fisheye :3

Do you have a gloving name, and if so, how did it come to be?

My glover name is "Legion" basically just took the second half of my rave name Carlos Legion and made it into my glover name nothing really special. In order to tell you about the name it over laps with my raver persona and basically I gave myself the name; it comes from the Demon Legion or the Demons that make up the persona Legion, but I don't use it in a negative connotation I took it because in my life I'm influenced by a multitude of things different genres of music, styles, etc. So me being a mash up of all these things and wanting to leave a personal mark on them like they have on me I came out with the name Legion. It applies to my gloving as well since I've been influenced by a various amount of glovers.


How would you describe you gloving style?

My gloving style is very fluid it consist of liquid the majority of the time; only the few times when I do digiting or tuts does it become more rigid at first I use to dislike that but now I feel like it adds a unique personality to my gloving. My style has been very influenced by Two glovers Epic Kirby Glover and Ray Chyeah, I try to apply as much of Kirby's Liquid into my show and try to add in Ray's precision, digiting style and he got me to slow down my gloving to people could see the finger roles and the figures I would make.

So Bright, So Vivid, So Intense

What's more important, technique or flow?

Flow is more important to me than technique even though I feel like technique is a major part of gloving. Without your flow your technique may break down or things may seem inconsistent during your show. Plus when I first started I was told to work on my flow before developing my technique so I stick to the school of thought.   


Do you glove outside of raving?

No I do not glove outside the rave scene; the only time I do is for practice or while trying to learn a new technique from a friend.


Who are some of your favorite glovers?

That's a really long list: the entire OWL team love those guys, Ray Chyeah, Epic Kirby Glover, Greg Bandit, Kris Marchi, Mikey, Eddie "Spikey" Diorio; there are just too many because to me everyone brings their own uniqueness to their gloving even though some use the same technique they always morph it into their own version of it. Are some more experienced then others yea, but hey I was a beginner once too and I'm still learning new things so to pick any one specific glover is hard for me. 

OWL <3
Tell us about the most epic light show you ever gave.

Hmm there have been a couple that were insanely epic for me, but one that comes to mind is a show I did at Cataclysm which if I'm not mistaken took place in October of last year, I gave a light show to five people it was my first time giving a light show to a group of that size, so I had to extend myself so all five people were able to enjoy the show it but a lot of strain on my arms n back but some how it worked out and all five loved it by the end; I'm pretty sure there have been way more epic ones than this one but its what comes to mind at the moment.


If you could go anywhere in the world and glove, where would you go?

Another long list lol: DefQon1, Qlimax, Burning Man, Electronic Daisy Festival; pretty much any large festival or show I have on my to do list to glove at.

Plays Well With Others
Streaming Lights at Lighting Fast Speeds
What your ideal rave scene look like?

My ideal rave scene Good Vibes, Good People, Epically Amazing Music just an all around good time with close friends and new people who are open minded about how ravers conduct themselves and what the scene means to a raver.


What does it mean to you to be a raver?

Being a raver for me means spending time with people you love and care about at a party that is blasting EDM music; dancing the night away till the sun rises and your eyes hurt but you don't care cause you know you've had a goodnight. Even though it may feel like you do the same thing every weekend, live for those special moments of connection you have at a rave whether it be with a friend or a stranger; because it's those moments you hold onto forever and look back on when you ask yourself why do I keep doing this. Finally, being a raver to me is applying the saying "Carpe Diem" (Seize the Day) to everything I do in a raver or even how I conduct myself outside one. That's what being a raver is to me. 

Thanks so much for being with us! Looking forward to throwing more lights with you!

A Weekend of Electricity

There were two events this past weekend that should not have been missed. It marked the second party for Blue Star Productions and a stand alone event brought on by the handiwork of three awesome ravers! Both were great events and both unfolded very differently. They had a lot of similarities as well as many differences... Let's take a closer gander into the happenings of A Heartless Valentine and Pussy Power!

Hype Them Up! By: Sam Froond
First and foremost, this was a double header for the Electric Warehouse, aka The Lab. Both were themed parties: Heartless being Kingdom Hearts themed and Pussy Power being....well vagina. The decor for each party was pretty cool too. For Heartless, there were people sporting keyblades running around, a lot of people in costume, Jack Skellington was all over the upstairs -  which was absolutely stunning by the way, playing cards on the walls, a big wall with the Kingdom Hearts logo on it behind the kandi table, a sick laser system by Paradox Productions... some pretty cool stuff. Pussy power had decorations all over! Some walls had white sheets with holes cuts in them, there were lips and balloons all over the place, painted banners, visualizations by Kaliptus, towers with LED disks blasting color out, an LED wall behind the DJ booth... Pussy Power went all out with decorations!

You can imagine how different the room looked with just the lights alone. For example, at Heartless the upstairs was banging with the lights and awesome decor. For a while the upstairs at Pussy Power was lightless, lending hand to upstairs being a little more chill. Eventually there was a system brought upstairs, and the room became more lively, but it was good to have a spot that was more relaxed. The rooms were lit up otherwise, not to mention Kaliptus' work. His visualizations are mostly animations he put together, and it's some trippy stuff. He was telling me how most of his work is in the psy-trance scene, a genre of music that I really got into while gloving. Best believe that in a little bit I'll be going to one of his events and seeing what that side of the scene looks like.

As far as music goes, Pussy Power felt a lot more laid back. The music seemed to mostly be hardstyle for both parties, and Heartless was banging on it all night. For me personally, I loved Pussy's feeling to the music. The beginning was very trancy, slow and progressive. All of a sudden the beat dropped and hardstyle took over. The weird thing about hardstyle is how trancy it is in the beginning of a track. You could be dancing and jumping around and all of a sudden the whole room is just standing there waiting till the next moving part. One set of DJs that did it right for me was at Heartless, Wink-E VS H4rdnox *Hardstyle Vs.Jumpstyle*. Wink-E knows how to get a crowd pumped, apparently his secret lies in cursing everyone out. No joke, it really works. At Pussy Power, I was melting over Gaby Noodle set. Two reasons, one the music was on point and two she had a gogo dancing slave-girl. This girl had a collar wrapped around her neck and the other end was Gaby's wrist. I stood the and watched as Gaby (without paying any mind) walked to the other side of the stage yanking the girl with her, and she loved it. Plus ten swag points for Gaby, look out for her sets at upcoming events!

Stepping on Kevin By: Ronnie C.
Both parties had different attractions, including Kevin Carpet (both), kandi making table (Heartless), Electrik Graffiti with their tent selling scoodies and led toys and gloves (both), UV body paint by Pixel (both), costume contest (Heartless), Massage Table by Batman (Pussy), free stuff like candy (both), Kaliptus (Pussy), fire poi (Heartless).... there was a lot to do and see at each event, which is a very positive thing. Getting people stimulated if they are not dancing to music keeps the movement going.

Setting Up For the Event By: Paus3

Double Teamed By: Ronnie C.
I was a little put off by some of the crowd at both parties, which is going to be expected anywhere you go. However, when looking over the event postings on facebook, I noticed several similar complaints for either party. At Heartless, a lot of cell phones went missing. At Pussy Power, there were some undesirables that kept putting their hands on women there. Things like this will happen, but in my opinion, collectively it can be dealt with in two ways. What you do to prevent it in the first place, and what everyone does to keep the environment friendly. First and foremost, don't leave your stuff lying around. No matter what. Give it to a friend or have a bag with you, or don't have it at the event in the first place. Second, tell somebody. If something happens, calmly tell the promoters, tell a friend, spread the word, and the situation will hopefully be dealt with.

All in all, I had a fantastic time at each event. However, Pussy Power will forever hold a special place in my heart due to all the wonderful people I met there. From all over the world in fact! It shows that our scene here in NY is thriving. There is so much good in it, what can i say, I love it! Big shout outs to Blue Star Productions, Sacha, Sam, Yolanda and W@x, awesome job this weekend!

Dancing to the Beats! GreenMonkeyNYC's Jungle Bungle!!

It is so awesome to see fresh party throwers rising up! You have the already known and established organizations like NYCR and Caffeine producing these amazingly huge events... and then you have the "little guy" working tirelessly to basically compete with what the other is offering. In this case you had an amazing party, with many great vibes, an awesome addition done in a new way, all with being the first production by this team ever! Big-Ole-Shout-Out to GreenmonkeyNYC's Murrmaidd and J Monster for pulling this one off!

Having a Good Time! By: Ronnie C.
Lets start with the Lab. It's a great spot! Power Ravers proved that to me back in December when the Megazord was put up. I mean, even before that when I watched Sam's (EpicLink) slide show video of Tight Crew's Super Mario Party 3 (!!), the decorations made for this place have been pretty epic! For Jungle Bungle the decor was sick with tiki men, roots and leaves strewn across the ceiling, cut and painted cloth, faux plants all over, and awesome lights bouncing all over! That was all thanks to the set up crew of Kevin Sarcastic, Sue Sarcastic, Sid Sprouts, Tara Tiger, and Michelle with Tomato at point! Place looked awesome, and even more so with the GreenMonkeyGogo girls! They were all decked out with the jungle look, Tara actually sported the craziest mask I've ever seen! It was her shaman headpiece that was the skull of what looked like a Cubone (pokemon [duh]) or something! It was great seeing people get into the mood of the theme!

The music was kicking ass all night, from sexy drum and bass tracks, to dubstep, to some moombahton, the bass was always kicking! I thoroughly enjoyed Jake Dukes and W@x's set together, that brought me back to a couple months ago when you always saw them spinning together. Even people that have never heard them before were telling me how much they loved it. For most of the hour set, Jake was sporting a scoodie made by Electrik Graffiti, which brings us to the "awesome addition in a new way"...

Electrik Graffiti By: Lucid
...The Electrik Graffiti vendor table. I'm not a rave veteran, I've only seen so many within the past few months, but this was totally new. They had three tables set up under a white tent. Around the sides opposite the table they put up awesome backdrops, included one that had UV reactive paint on it. The whole place was glowing, which was quite appropriate with their wares... party toys (glove sets, glow sticks, light balls, LED pacifiers), and custom-furry-hand-made scoodies! Their scoodies are so warm and soft, and so many people were wearing them! The also served as a relaxation spot where people got light shows, massages, and just sat and chilled for a second. Electrik Graffiti will be around for more events, be sure to stop by and say hi!

Woah...Wings... By: Teaz
The vibes were overall positive throughout the night. People were dancing, getting light shows going over to Pixel for UV body painting, or climbing over the beloved Kevin Carpet to grab a smoke or some fresh air outside. I actually hung out around Kevin for a little bit to see how people were reacting with him. Some people walked, scuttled, shuffled or danced across him, while a handful of people jumped over him. I even heard someone deny that there was anyone actually rolled up inside. He's one hell of a good carpet! Whether upstairs or downstairs, it felt great to be around so many smiling faces.

He's Not Even Wearing Them! By: Teaz
One thing that was a little disappointing was a fellow glover and [OWL] lost her glove that night. She was so upset about it. While there were many people on the hunt for the glove, it never turned up. Until pictures were released the next day and the photographer Teaz actually snapped a shot of the glove on the ground and a young lady bending over to pick it up. Anyone would hate to loose their stuff, so if you know this person, let's all reach out and find out if she has the glove, and to return it to it's rightful owner. If anyone was seen Yoyo glove, you know how talented she is, and she really misses her glove. A large portion of the gloving community is reaching out to help the glove find it's way back to Yoyo.

FINYL FANTASY 3 : The Battle For Soul Society

Last night marked the third installment in NYCRaver's Finyl Fantasy series: FINYL FANTASY 3 : The Battle For Soul Society by NYCR and FTSA. The location for this event was a beautiful nightclub located in the heart of Brooklyn that's been dubbed The Cage. Adding to the venue's bass packed surround system, NYCR was nice enough to bring in a wall of bass that did not disappoint. Party-goers could be found raging both upstairs and downstairs to some of the nastiest beats that your ears have come across from none other than the celebs of today's scene: Frankie Bones, DJ X-Dream, John Bas, DJ Atom C and so many others. Those who missed last night's festivities are already logging onto NYCRavers.com to buy tickets to their upcoming event: NAUGHTY NEON 2.

Glow On By: Yaz
This was my first party at The Cage but I've heard stories about this spot and it sounds like NYCR really got their act together and cleaned it up because there was ample space for dancing the night away. The basement area was almost completely opened up with a bar on the left for all your refreshment needs.

When asked what he thought of the party, Kevin Sarcastic was kind enough to reply with his thoughts, "The deco was great. You could tell 2k and the rest of NYCR put a lot of thought into this party in an attempt to top their last two successful Final Fantasy themed parties. The Eye Candy dancers looked delicious as always and the crowd that showed up were all generally friendly fun loving people. The coat check girls, however, are greedy as hell and wouldn't take your coat without a tip or return your coat without a tip (on top of the actual coat check charge). The security is the most heinous anti-PLUR wannabe cop squad in the scene. I watched them flip off party goers, stick their hands in kids pockets for no real reason and generally be overbearing buzz kills." The good always comes with the bad, and Kevin clearly shows that.  Here are what some more party goers had to say about the night:

"Amazing night. Danced my ass off n had work at 7am this morn"
- Rick

"wow had an ok night ur security was really tight and to much dubstep for me but otherwise bones n icey xdream toar it up see ya peeps lata ; )"
- Joseph

"This was just beyond amazin!!! ^.^"
- Prince Corpse Monster Esproc

"Nice to see different music genres in each room."
- Ross

"The night was loud as the DJ'S know how to make a crowd. They played and played where no one wanted to walk away.. Everyone dancing as they forget their place in reality...Finyl Fantasy was fun to ignore the drama and remember the PEACE LOVE UNITY AND RESPECT♥"
- Delineation Digital Media

Co-author of EGP, [OWL] Paus3, had this to say, "I was only there for the end, but the vibes in the room were simply awesome. Good people, good times. Loved seeing fellow [OWL] members giving shows and even fighting on stage."

Paus3 Trading with Me By: Yaz
I was personally blown away having shown up as early as 10PM and already seeing a crowd start to form in both areas of The Palace was a pleasant surprise. On the flip side, a mandatory coat check at $3 is never something you're thrilled to encounter, however, I'm sure everyone was glad they didn't have their bulky outerwear on to weigh them down. The dance floors were packed and upstairs had sexy caged dancers hanging from the ceiling. A glove-off and other lights show battles went down on stage as Paus3 had mentioned and the crowd was going wild. Individual glove light shows were also being thrown in every corner. I got to trade with a few of the other glovers and let's just say many faces were melted.

Glover's Spotlight: [MD] Master Handz

We're back with another Glover's Spotlight! This time we're here with one of the Mind Destroyers right here on the east coast, [MD] Master Handz!!!




Glad to have you with us today! How is everything?

I’m doing great, life has been treating me real well recently thanks for asking.


That's great, now let's start with some basic questions, how did you get the name Master Handz?


Well I’ll definitely say it took me a while to figure out a name for myself. I started thinking about something unique; something that I felt would really fit me. I was at the point of giving up when one day I started playing my favorite video game Super Smash Bros. Brawl; I’ve been obsessed with the series since it came out. I was a close friend’s house, his name is also Matt aka [MD] Matty Smiles another Glove on my team. As we were playing the game it hit me suddenly. “Hmm, hold on…there’s a floating glove as a Boss…Master Hand! Perfect!” The Z was added to the end to make it more unique and plural.


I like it man, but do you prefer people call you Matt or do you enjoy getting called by your glover name?


Naturally I’m used to people calling me by my actual name, and most people do, but there are times where I would like to be called by my glover name. I feel that once people start getting used to the idea of Master Handz, I feel that I’m being more recognized and respected as a glover and it makes me feel good about myself. I don’t mind if my closer friends simply call me by my name it doesn’t affect me, but when I’m out there in the rave scene doing my thing, I definitely want to be known as Master Handz.


Good stuff. Let me ask, what influenced your decision to start gloving?


Gloving for me started out with my long time friend Jamie McKay, and another friend Elias. I consider Jamie like family; she has always been a huge influence in my life. She’s been part of the rave scene for about 5 years now, and she took me to my first rave, Glow: Orange on March 23rd of 2011. I got the idea of gloving from YouTube videos and in the beginning of the month because I had already bought and brought a common beginners set, a prewired RGB set with blacked out gloves that you can find online basically at any rave site. When I was there I immediately fell In love with the scene, and watching my two friends glove and other glovers doing work, I quickly picked up tricks and started to learn the basics. It was an amazing feeling. After that I kept wanting to improve, started learning about the gloving scene, the endless imagination that comes with it, I started to fool around with my fingers everywhere I went, in school, on the bus, with friends, etc. it became natural to me. It’s a passion and a work of art and I’m very happy that I started raving and gloving when I did.







I see you joined a team already too. What factors contributed to you joining Mind Destroyers and not some other team?

Well to be honest, New York in my opinion wasn’t really too big on gloving when I very first started, so Mind Destroyers was the first team I had heard about locally. Another close friend Steven aka [MD] Cloud, the captain of Mind Destroyers was the one who introduced and initiated me onto the team. He was originally from Cali and I believe he was in NY visiting family. I met him one day at Finyl Fantasy 2 where a friend was celebrating her birthday. Me and Matty got a lightshow from him and I was amazed. I wanted to be on that level, heck I NEEDED to be on that level. As fate would have it not to long after that we met him again. Matty kept in contact with him and with our luck Cloud had permanently moved to New York and wanted to expand his team here. We were some of the very first people to be initiated, and after that it was an amazing experience and I’ve been able to learn so much since then.


Tell us a bit about your team, Mind Destroyers. Do you guys practice together often and are there any other teams you guys are close with?


Unfortunately the members of MD are somewhat all spaced out, so it’s been hard to establish an MD meet up with all the members present since we’ve all got our own busy lives to consider after all. But thank God we have raves every weekend which makes it easier to meet the others and then we’re able to trade lightshows and catch up. I usually hang out with [MD] Cloud, [MD] Matty Smiles, [MD] Dazey, and [MD] Mirage on a regular basis so it’s nice see and chill with a good amount of the team. As for other teams, Me and other members of MD have had fun trading and hanging out with team OWL (Obsessed With Lights) isn’t that right Supernova? Haha.



Yeah dude, haha our teams have had some pretty stellar gloving sessions in the past! My next question is about your gloving style. Are there certain moves you prefer to use in your shows?


I’ve loved to learn a little bit about everything, from Liquid, Tutting, Digits, Tunnels/Whips, Finger Rolls etc. As I’ve progressed with my gloving, I’ve learned that it’s just more natural for me to do Liquid, Tunnels/Whips and Finger Rolls, just about anything that’s creates a circular or fluid motion. It requires less thinking, and I feel it more when it comes to the music I listen to, which is mostly House and Trance. I’ve been currently working on digit moves and improving on more mechanical tricks to find a balance with everything I know, but yea Liquid, Tunnels and Whips are my personal favorite moves to use.


Awesome, do you think that gloving has changed you at all? Would you say you're more flexible or dexterous than you were before you started?


Well, it’s definitely given me a passionate hobby to focus on when I’ve got nothing else better to do haha. But in all seriousness, I don’t think it’s made me more flexible per se, but it’s given me a whole different perspective on how to use my hands and fingers. My friends and I have come up with ideas on how to curve, bend, and place our fingers in ways we would have never of thought of if we didn’t start gloving. The fact that I can personalize my own glove set with the colors and lights of my choosing to put on my fingertips makes things that much better. It’s an art style like no other.


I've got one last question for you I'm sure we're all dying to know: who do you look up to? Are there any Glovers that you try to mimic?


When I first started, I looked up to the more famous YouTube stars. Pro glovers like [PM] Gummy, [E] Sharky, [PM] Skittles, (AYO?) Anti, and (AYO?) Boo. More and more I watch their videos and they never cease to amaze me. Then when I started to improve and looked up more videos, I discovered amazing glovers such as (AYO?) Stunna, [SS] Physic, (AYO?) Mimik, (AYO?) Bluz and so many others. I do have a local favorite of mine who I always aspire to be like and that is my team captain [MD] Cloud, who takes body gloving and liquid to a level that I admire so much.





Sweet, I'll definitely have to look up some of these glovers now. Master Handz, thank you so much for joining us today! I'll let you get back to whatever it was that you were doing.. probably gloving! XD
