How about a proper compilation cd?

[generaljimmy]

All these resident cd rs getting given away on the forum has got me thinkin, isnt it about time chibuku goit its own compiulation cd out in the shops? i reckon a doubl cd wud b great, have a resident or two mixing one and then get a guest to do another, my choice wud b to have dom and leo b2b on a house tip on the first cd and get pedro winter 2 do the second one, a filthy elctro excursion! has any1 got any ideas and would chibuku b up 4 doin it, i know it might end up pigeon holing the club to a musical style, which could b damgin! let the people speak! :D

As ENTITY suggested Music Should Be Free! Fuck wholesale! Keep the FREE Cds coming! Very much apreciated even if the record labels dont! :lol:

but wudnt a comp be gud 4 buku tho?

[Magik]

Yeh as long as its free for me ! :lol:

[generaljimmy]

Yeh as long as its free for me ! :lol:

yes, we should both get free copies as we talked about it first! its now a great idea! who would your choices be if there was one tho?

[Magik]

One CD should be JOhnny One Move Breaks,Hip Hop and ridiculous beat juggling bitchness
the Other probably Richard McGuiness with Best Of Irish Folk Rock!

[liamobrien]

No.

While it would be an excellent marketing tool to make money (I wouldnt blame them) how overboard and mainstream wold chibuku natrually go afterwards? And would this be a good thing?

Fabric seem to be doing well from the albums. 8)
Back to basics have done quite a few with limited success.

hit and miss I think. :roll:

[generaljimmy]

No.

:

i dont think its goin overly mainstream, unless u get ministry involved, definietly not more mainstream than gettin budwieser to sponsor u anyway. what do chib think themselves?

[gaz m]

im going to throw my 2 pence in and say NO! just because

[philcharnock]

Yes! There are some average comps out there, Chibuku has raised the bar for clubs in Liverpool, they could kick the arse in the mix cd field. Fabric is indeed on it, the only consistantly good and exciting cds.

Isnt the mix cd market not what it used to be though? On the other hand the money that can be made from promoting a club night isnt great so its got to be worth a go.

Also don't think Chibuku will go mainstream if it releases a cd. So far its retained a house party atmosphere while also rising to become one of the biggest clubs in Britain with big names and all that jazz. The prices are still as low as possible, no VIP rooms, no dresscode, reasonable security and a positive vibe. All good.

My cd is going out this week peeps, thanks for your patience.

[wandy]

fight on for which resident does the cd though!! maybe we could all play 2 tunes each back to back!! Now that would be something :lol:

[Psychosomatic]

Chibuku doing a mix compliation? Whatever next, that would be a fucking joke. How about black bomber jackets with Chibuku Shake Shake written on the back in white letters? No, Chibuku is a awsome club night which pissed all over Cream from a great height and THAT is should exactly what it should remain. Fucking CD complication indeed. Fuck Compliation CDs and FUCK mixmag most of all. Anyway I've drank too much tonight to excuse my agressive nature.

[DRUNKENJEDI]

NOOOOOOO!!! Keep the club underground, I want buku to make loads of money but not by attracting masses of twats

[Will - chibuku]

How would a mix CD attract twats if the music was underground enough and the CD wasn't sold in HMV and Virgin?

If we did do one and a double CD as suggested who would people want on there ie:

Wandy vs. Luke Carr
Beat Monkeys vs Tane
Sarah Sweeney vs. Phil Charnock
Dom Chung vs. Leo Belchetz

???

i reckon u shud split it down the middle, have a residents cd and then a guest mix as well, to truly get the flavour of the club. on the residents tip i cant really pick between u all, maybe wandys idea is a gd plan where u all play 2 each, or some crazy shit! then i reckon u get pedro winter for the next mix cd, he is the best dj i have ever seen at chibuku, period. WHEN IS HE COMIN BACK?! :P

Right, just to get this straight, these are all compilation cds available from shops like hmv and virgin, and are apparently overly commercial:

ivan smagghe - kill the dj
groove armada - doin it after dark
city rockers pres futurism (one and two)
tom middleton cosmos mix series
2 many djs radio soulwax
and shitloads more

now all of these are good enuf to rock any stereo, and recently the djs mixin these have been rocking chibuku with the same sort of playlist as on the cds they r sellin. commercial my ass, the rest of the country needs chibuku in its purest form. BRING BACK PEDRO!

altho i do quite facny one of those bomber jkts mind, will i get in for free with one?

[Dom Chung]

you should have one mix representing the house sound with someone who plays regularly like Jaqcue lu cont, and one for the loft with someone like the scratch perverts. I dont think doing a cd would attract anymore twats then winning mixmag club of the year. Bulid up a good series of mix cds and then let the residents have a go once people trust the cds (i.e fabric).

[wandy]

sounds like a good plan dominic

[generaljimmy]

definitely, altho a double cd i reckon wud need the profile of the residents as well. how about doin one for a magazine, but not fuckin mixmag!

[philcharnock]

If its done properly it will only enhance the underground image of the club. No reason why it shouldnt work. Mr Scruff is long overdue a mix CD (I know he gives out free ones), get him on the case, and Basement Jaxx aint done one either, just imagine!!! :shock:

Gotta get the chants of 'Chibuku Shake Shake' recorded in the club or the Chibuku jingle William gave me. 'Chibuku brings you joy and happiness!' I can see it now... 8)

[Magik]

The idea is to be not Elite-ist with the people you attract to hear the music.But also not to go so far as to oversell the brand "Chibuku". London,Ibiza,Miami,Moscow,Paris,New York etc will no doubt get to hear more of the little club based in Liverpool but it should be seen as a party through and through and not a brand.Noone understands that more than the chaps though. :lol:
Cds you have to be really carefull with dont you. try doing a cover CD for a mag and see how it received?
Damo for the Shewsbury Loot maybe??

Half of them are indeed comerical rubbish, I've seen a quite a few of them DJ and I wasnt impressed. Lets see how many fucking times Andy Cato plays Born Sloppy, yes fucking cutting edge music here! But thats a different point entirely.

Look what happens when a club stops becoming a club and starts becoming a brand lable. Basically, I dont auctually care that much if Chibuku starts putting out merchantise but I hate that whole fucking idea of it. If you look at clubs they ALL become the victims of their own success. Usually because too many 'ultracool tourists' come along and then worse because its the new big thing. I just dont want Chibuku to end up like that. I wasnt really impressed when I saw Chibuku in the front pages of mixmag...

[Pedro]

BRING BACK PEDRO!

I ain't going anywhere Mr. C. 8) :lol: :wink:

[Tony Montana]

Do one but only sell it from the masque

[philcharnock]

Thats the ideal solution, but what do we do licensing wise? Like MC Hammer said... 'Too legit to quit!' Or should it be booty style? :twisted:

Think it will have to be legit. :?

I'm as concerned about selling out as anyone. But Co-Op in London or Electric Chair in Manchester have both released mixes and stayed cooler than a fridge, no sell out from them. And both were by residents... :wink:

I'm in favour, but only if its thought out carefully. Which it will be.

[Magik]

Only from the masque.Why is that some sort of exclusivity thing??hehe If your going to sell it you may aswell distribute properly.What about those who no longer can go to Chibuku but would like a momento of there nights there.That would be excluding them from aquiring one surely!

What about SPace???? Okay yeh bit more history there but they have there own shop of clothing and peeps still say its the best club on the planet.

Maybe you could sell Masque Masks??? Or Chibuku hats with 2 cans of stella and straws.
What about a set of cards with every single facial expression WANDY pulls throughout his 2 hour set!!!!!
A DOM CHUNG wok
A STAV sweat band !
A LEO BELCHETZ dinner service
A DIRTY SANCHEZ tour guide of London !
a PHAT PHIL COOPERs home made kebab burner

What dyu reckon? :lol:

[bifti]

what about that cassius recording? i would like to get my hands on that

[mooney]

I, personally, agree with all of ya.
I understand where your coming from by saying a cd could make you seem more comercial, yet, at the same time, why not?

I have enjoyed the free cd's that I have revcieved from Leo, so why wouldnt it be the same for an official cd?

But, as already said, you don't want to go down the same route as bloody MOS!!!!

Plus (slightly of the beaten track) I had a bloody great time at the weekend. It was much different to normal. ALthough it wasnt full (and thats probably how damo and all would like it!), it meant you could express yourself, instead of being forced into dancing like your dad !!

Cd's to go on sale? I dont know, but Im sure whatever decision is made will be right. Chibuku has done ok so far!

"I see the moon, and the moon see's me.......God bless the moon!"

[absolutemoron]

I would love to put out an official CD, anyone who has heard one of my CDs (or indeed other Chibuku residents') will know that there is no chance of the music being overly commercial.

However I think if a CD was to be sold it should be sold in HMV etc, what is the point in having a CD out that isn't available to everyone?! Also it wouldn't be financially viable to put out a mix CD (all the licensing, printing, design, distribution costs) without selling at major stores. It is also imperative that the artists whose tracks are featured get paid if the CD is to be sold IMO - essentially you're selling their music after all. But this means that there is actually going to be little profit made (especially when you've got Phil's Soulfelt crew putting 50 tracks on in an hour)!

[d.sanchez]

for one this post proves that you are either damned if you do or damned if you dont.

oooohhhhhhhh you intractable bunch!!!!

producing a proper cd, to sell through the likes of HMV, would cost a fortune as is a massive undertakng. it cant be done any way other than the legal one, and with licensing costs alone you're talking big wedge. farbic have got it licked yes, but they have prospered where others havent.... though they have a successful series, maybe one or two a year would be better but.... it's EXPENSIVE TO DO.

so if we did one some of you wouldn't agree.... and if we didnt.... argh!! it's a catch 23 situation.

there are other ways..... the matter is under consideration anyhow.


re majik: Shrewsbury Country Living boyo!!!

Shrewsbury Country Living boyo!!!

Damo, when you gonna try out for a residency in Liquid? It may not be Park Lane, but im sure if you put the effort in to your cheesey house sets, you could make a breakthrough there! :lol:

[d.sanchez]

i can safely say i have never set foot in liquid.


park lane on the other hand....the institution of my fractured youth.

i actually got a right shoeing once outside the doors of that hallowed place from the meathead security, i was trying to stop my mate from starting a fight himself in the queue with some other lads, it was not the best and i looked like a RTA. chipped tooth, swollen face, bruised ribs, caaaants.
to be fair we did some bad things in there.

[housegrooves]

Make sure you remember to thank me on the inlay card of the CD :D

[generaljimmy]

psychomatioc, ur sayin its commercial rubbish, are u sure? r u really? which of those compilations is commericla rubbish, 2many djs? do ppl who sell records become rubbish? u r an anrgy man, do u want a hug? :)

[Psychosomatic]

I've seen Groove Amarda DJ, also Soulwax and they where extremely bad considering they are apparently professional DJs. So I yes I am saying they are rubbish.

Secondly, people who sell records dont 'become rubbish'. It depends on whose buying the records I suppose, I'd usually associate "Cream anthems 234" or "Dance hits 2003" as being rubbish. Yet I wouldnt consider aphex twin "window licker" rubbish, so I suppose its all subjective when you're talking about whats mainstream and whats not.

The reason I've reservations about Chibuku putting out a CD is that really, I kinda liked it when it was smaller. You got a smaller and more regular crowd, I couldnt help but notice what some might call "tourists" at the last one, all of them being upstairs.

Maybe I can be put in my place by saying its good to see new faces in chibuku, just as I was a new face a couple of years ago but lets be honest. Most of them probably heard about it in mixmag and decided it would be cool to attend... Maybe I'm a miserable bastard, maybe not but I just dont want to see chibuku end up like certain other nights.

Thirdly, its psychosomatic kidda ;)

[generaljimmy]

apologies, i messed up the quote thing and didnt know how to sort it again, so i cudnt quit remeber ur name properly! i appreciate wot ur sayin, went 2 fabric on sat 4 1st time and it was horrible atmosphere wise, but i think chibukus a long way off that just yet.
