Judge Jules Night Out @ Amnesia
Heres a quote from Jules diary on his web page
http://www.judgejules.net/index.php?page=2
Along with my manager Charlie and another couple of friends we hit Amnesia at 2am, and perched ourselves on a terrace overlooking the very packed dancefloor. On the one hand I'm keen to make this column interesting, on the other I don't want to court too much controversy. Suffice to say the main room set from one of the world's most famous dj's was one of the worst I've heard in a very long time. Not only did he fail to play a single track that you'd remember five minutes later, he generated no atmosphere, mixed without passion and looked utterly bored. In a holiday environment I was astonished to hear not even one or two tunes with the faintest degree of familiarity, especially in a 5000 capacity club. I've been dj'ing a long time, and the way I've kept my career buoyant is by trying to remain tuned in to the mood of the crowd at all times (although clearly it's impossible to get things right on 100% of occasions.) I couldn't believe how removed one of the biggest so-called 'Superstar dj's' was from the atmosphere on the dancefloor. The minute the following (younger, hungrier) dj started his set the atmosphere changed out of all recognition, but by that point I'd been put on a downer, and we left half an hour later. My precious social night out spoiled by one of the most disappointing sets I've heard in a long time.
lol who is he talking about i wonder??
could it be Armin? 
Bwahahaha!
I presume its one of these from last saturday at amnesia, probably not eddie halliwell tho as jules licks his ass.
MAIN ROOM
Paul Oakenfold
Armin Van Buuren
Fergie
Eddie Halliwell
TERRACE
Type Terrace
Seb Fontaine
Jon Carter
Nic Fanciulli
Whoever it was is besides the point though !!! I can't believe he's written that about anyone what a joker.
He's probably one of the worst DJ's iv ever seen, anyone who has suffered jules playing at a decent night will know the mans lack of ability and the groans that sound out when he comes on (a load of sets at crasher spring to mind). That diary entry is the funniest thing I've read in ages 
probably oakenfold as he mentions thats hes supposed to be a superstar dj

We were discussing this on another message board and came to the conclusion that he was referring to oakenfold - he refers to a "superstar DJ" and then refers to the "younger" DJ
to be fair oakenfold's sets are beyond a joke. not that judge jules' sets are better, but oakey clearly has a bigger standing in the world of EDM, not just in the UK but on a world wide basis
anyone who looks at the last few of oakeys sets will agree they are complete and utter gash
and no, just because he's shit doesnt mean he isnt entitled to his own opinion. if anything, i actually respect him a bit more than i did before, for speaking out. he clearly was pissed off enough to warrant him writing about it in such strong words.

i agree with him that oakie has turned sour recently but publicizing it for all top djs, promoters and fans to see is a bad move and isn't the 1st time hes kicked himself into a hole.
irish TA's will remember quite recently admitting his Lush set was one of his worst as he was completely wasted. fcuking hate fudge jules. him calling me a bastard in shagaluff didn't make me want to join his fan club

Clearly talking about Oakenfold.
To be fair, he's not tried hiding it - anyone can figure it out.
I'm usually one of the Judge's biggest critics, but this time I think he's got it absolutely right - Oakenfold was pathetic; Halliwell pretty good.
wasnt this night that extended essential mix that went on for 4-5 hours?
yeah the Radio 1 weekend from Ibiza

Thats what Oakie played. Looks pretty shocking to me. Smith & Pledger is the worst release on Anjuna this year. Wouldnt mind hearing the remix of Lizard tho.
Yea he was talking about Oakenfold.
Jules has got it bang on here, fair enough alot of us dont like him and he should stop fucking around with those accapellas 
but whats the point in being a Dj if you look like you dont wanna be there playing a set.
Its about time someone inside the music industry said something about Dj's like this that are only still playing cause of their names, Fergie is also another one like this his recent set at global was just the same.
Good on ya Jules, although I would have named and shamed the Dj in question.
Sorry forgot to do that in the original post.
it might be true about what he said, but he doesnt even have the balls to name the dj, the dickhead.
and i think he should look in the mirror before criticing other djs, as he is bollox himself.
If he had named him -> Defamation of Character -> Lawsuit

On one hand, I respect Jules for talking out and giving his personal opinion.
However its VERY unprofessional to criticise a dj's performance. Even if you are the perfect DJ which i think Jules is far from.
No question about how much he's done for the industry, but that isnt on show here.
But maybe the fact he now understands what it takes to rock dancefloors then maybe this will improve Jules as a DJ? Heres hoping
im super the super star dj is paul oakenfold and the younger dj is Armin Van Burren.
Fuck you judge jules!! First get your dj skills up to a decent standard and then criticize other djs. You have competely ruined countless nights at Getecrasher.
GET A FUCKING GRIP!!!!!!
Has anybody ever heard a decent Judge Jules set?
He's been to Australia countless times and I am yet to hear one.
