If you were a Goth in Winnipeg in the summer of 1996, the place to be on Wednesday nights was Die Maschine Cabaret. The evening was called INTERFACE, and my friend Gord (DJ Count Zero) totally ruled. Sadly for us, he had to leave, but before he left, he passed the mantle to me and thus INTERFACE then became OGREMIND.
It's now April 21 of 2011 as I enter this. Die Maschine has closed its doors, and for 3 years after there was CRYPTIC CHAOS at Monty's Bar one. Hosted originally by DJ Dunc, they took onboard DJ Rachel for whom I then dragged myself out of my retirment to help out with the night. Formerly sponsored by The Crypt, it was a wonderful Night, and then new owners took possession of the building and decided they would prefer a strip club. It was at Cryptic Chaos where DJ z3r0 began spinning alongside Rachel & myself. After Cryptic was closed, I went forward to find another venue to for us. The result is AFTER DARK on Saturday nights which I helped establish at Ozzys where I co-Deejayed with z3r0 for a while before letting go this past New Years Eve. It was then z3r0s night before he left to go to Brandon. To continue the night, I came out of retirement (the Second time, now) along with DJ Count Zero, and brought on board DJ Rachel (now DJ Raytch Aytch) & Cyberella to work with DJ Macabria & DJ Razed. Together we're working to keep things going.
The scene is strong, it's thriving, and I'm dedicated to keeping it so.
By the way, I'm Zlatan (also known as DJ Evil Bastard), and this website doubles as my home page.
Welcome! Please have a look around.
