Cloud control

>> The DJs from Kirk6’s Cloud5 party look skyward

by RUPERT BOTTENBERG

Clouds are like Rorschach blots in the way that everyone sees something different when they look at one. Likewise the Cloud events put together by Kirk6, the righteous local party-production collective. With a whopping 14 local DJs on the bill at Cloud5, covering a vast spectrum of electronic dance music, not only do Kirk6 make up for the frustrations of Cloud4 (booked in a nice but limited space—too bad most folks, even ticketholders, couldn’t get in), they make sure there’s something there for everyone. The Mirror found a picture of the purtiest lil’ cloud it could, and ran it past some of the turntable talent scheduled for Cloud5. Their reactions reveal a lot about them.

Neerav: “I see a mystic Mayan shaman smoking his peace pipe.”

Dorobo: “Who said seals were only good at swimming underwater?”

Corey K: “I stared at the picture for a good long time and I’m pretty sure I see a fire-breathing dragon—or I may simply be hallucinating again.”

Baby Dino: “I do believe that that cloud looks like one hell of a party!”

Tao Nhan: “That looks like Dino’s dino to me.”

Mini: “It almost looks like the number 5.”

Iznogood: “Since my computer crashed while I was away and I’m running on safe mode with bad colour resolution, all I see is a fuzzy form vaguely resembling a satellite picture taken from high altitude over the troubled region we all know as the Middle East. However, I must be mistaken, since it looks so peaceful. As soon as I fix my suck-ass computer, maybe I’ll see things more clearly and I can point out a couple of terrorist kidz.”

Rob Brown: “I see a cloud in front of either the moon or the sun! Sorry, not too imaginative an answer, but I tend to see things for what they are (grin)!” :

At Cloud5 on Saturday, March 23, 11pm, $25, location TBA, info: www.kirk6.com or 720-6490
