Originally posted by srussell0018 I was pointing out that you essentially had an offer on the table which you turned down because the "scene" at the club in question wasn't to your liking, and because you wouldn't be paid what you thought you deserved. I find that ironic when you try so hard to get your name out there, yet turn down offers to play the same club that DJs eons past you in their careers chose to play. Your general attitude on this forum just reeks of someone who will never "make it" because you think that you're above what you are, and will thus never grow as an artist beyond playing small niche slots. Regardless, I'm done talking about this subject as it's irrelevant to this thread. If you have a further problem feel free to PM me.

You clearly have something against me. But I'm glad we're done here as I don't wish to take this further.

I love when people create different tangents to further a thread's longevity. it's pure gold.

It's called multithreading. Only best processors use it.

Buy Intel.

Don't buy apple.

it's a shame I didn't pursue a career in computer engineering. I would've made bill gates really look microsoft.

"Afrojack sold out a huge show here, come play deep house!"

Sublime.

exactly.

I'm glad to see Cattaneo on this list. But what about Guy J and Kleijin? Solid DJs and producers, imo.

Don't worry srussell, I'll come trainwreck for you.

I don't know why Guy J amazes me and Eljke Klein or how fuck it's written bores me to death. Odd.

Nice quote out of context. You have a knack for that. My point was that huge DJs are coming here, Adam seems hell bent on getting his name out there, yet turns down the opportunity to do that.

Nice try though.

i can play in rochester if you wish my rider only consists in 3 kegs, unlimited premium whiskey (Grey goose upwards) and 3 lebanese prostitutes. Money is not important i am a hippie.

Grey Goose is vodka, genius.

my bad i meant famous grouse.

What **the fuck** gives you that impression? Because I record mixes and post them online? The only place I've attempted to get my name out to is right here in Montreal, and considering I had 5 gigs in the last 3 months, I'd say I've been doing alright.

Why are you being such a miserable fucking prick anyway?

With the exception of Dubfire, Noefrini and Gary Beck, I'd go see any of those over Hawtin. But some of them I consider more big room tech house than techno.

i have no idea what the hell happened to this thread but i apologize if it was me who started it.

Woony,- to be honest i stopped reading RA a couple of years ago and basically now just peruse the website so im probably out of the loop on their old minimal fascination and lack of talking about 90s techno and house, ill take your word for it. I would still argue that as a whole the website is basically DJ Mag for hipsters and really ignores certain genres and producers and history for arbitrary and lets be honest business interests of who they are promoting their website to.

and I just wanted to say one thing about Hawtin, i actually didnt mean to imply that richie didnt deserve the attention. What he did at the beginning was legendary and he deserves his place in electronic music history, my main problem is that a guy like Lieb should also be getting that praise and adulation but wont because of the genre he was making in the 90s.

It's not a quote, it's a paraphrase, but thanks for the input. I understand exactly what your point is, and it's ridiculous. Everything you've said basically screams to anyone knowledgeable "My town is a complete backwater and the crowds are clueless!" If you're a DJ like Adam who plays a fairly niche sound, the last thing you want is to play in an "emerging club scene" hundreds of miles away from home. You want to play in a big, thriving scene where there are loads of specialist parties and promoters you can get involved with. Why the fuck you would mention names like Patterson, Afrojack and Avicii in defence of your argument is absolutely beyond me.

You seem to be under the laughable notion that a DJ promoting himself on Facebook means he's a crazed fame-hungry whore. Truth is, like any DJ, Adam will have a lot of friends on Facebook who are clubbers, promoters and fellow DJs, and all DJs actively hype their own gigs through social media to alert people in the same scene who might be interested in coming down and checking the party out. It's a necessary part of the game, and most underground promoters ask their DJs to do this because it's an effective form of marketing for parties which don't have a huge budget or visibility. It doesn't mean Adam is going to bite your hand off if you offer him a gig in Zimbabwe opening up for DJ Genocide.


This is basically a re-run of what lead to your legendary COR meltdown: you talking aggressively and confrontationally about DJing and promoting when you're clearly fucking clueless on the subject. You spend this entire thread sniping sarcastically from the sidelines, but when you actually come forth and try and express some sort of knowledgeable position, it's usually total horseshit.

No, it's SRUSSELL as usual. You may as well brace for about five pages of shit filler comebacks, condescending smileys and impotent anger. It'll keep us busy until the next list comes out, I suppose.

so are you describing that set as "minimal plong" ??

So Voices From The Lake got #1 album. Guess that means old school ambient techno's due for a comeback. Trance can't be far behind then.

Trance on RA? Never. It's a matter of principle.

Go to 30.00. It's literally going plink plong.

Listen to this shit. It's done by one of the coolest/most credible techno producers out there and it's pretty much trance, it's just called techno.

And as I've said in my best of 2012 post, yeah, old school UK ambient techno has been making a comeback in some producers sound.




And listen to this http://hardwax.com/66766/samuel-kerridge/auris-interna/

The first track literally could be the opener for a B12 record in 1993.

It's just a track, also his 1st tracks are not really his style either.

Btw anyone knows track around 24:00 i know i got it but can't remember its name, love it.

As a Dj is good i saw him at Time Warp and crowd went nuts.

SystemJ you look EXACTLY how I would picture you. I think it's hilarious that you give people detailed descriptions of what you think I'm going to do whenever I have any kind of quasi-heated exchange with anyone, and you're wrong 100% of the time. It's kind of funny since you pride yourself on being "right" all the time.

Edit: In addition to that, I think it's perfectly relevant to point out that big name DJs have been coming to this city recently. Deko-ze is hardly a "big name" as well, and people like Honey Dijon have also been coming (to the same club in fact). I'm not sure how that's not relevant, when Honey Dijon packed a club playing deep house (a show that I went to). The huge jocks have been playing at the Main St. Armory, where they can fit a few thousand people, not to the club in mention which only holds a few hundred.
