Ahhhhh I think cosmic fur captured the whole "underground" issue bang on...

i dont mind Z103. at least if your stranded with the radio, you know you have a chance of finding SOME sort of EDM, wether or not its what u listened to a year or + ago. and sometimes u have to wait for it for a little bit, but at least you know you'll hear SOMETHING.
my only beeef is (and someone quoted it earlyer)
the hosts. the hosts are so fuckin retarded. get a life and stop talkin like your god all mighty. not to mention when they interview people they're totally ignorant. GTFO the radio you tard baglers. they need an EDM hour hosted by someone with some backround knowledge who can devote certain days of the week to certain types of EDM.
imo.
I dont have any problems with radio playing GOOD music.
And no more conversations is a good song.
But my problem is when a station like 103 takes it upon themselves to call it a new song when its already a year and a half old. It wouldnt even be so bad if it were charting elsewhere at the same time. But it seems like 103 arbitrarily issues its own stamp of "newness" anytime it feels like it. Maybe Danny D went to europe last summer and heard it? i dunno...
I have to commend 103 though for playing a lot more dance music lately. However id like to see them actually start playing it when its released, not when they feel like it.
I also heard a rumour that Flow 93.5 was slowly changing formats and playing more dance to compete with 103. If thats the case then it's good times ahead for Toronto.
One of the main reasons why toronto had such a strong underground dance movement in the 90s was because it was spearheaded by such a strong commercial dance radio presence. There is no denying what Dance/Energy 108 did for the dance music community in the early to mid 90s.
Lets hope these days are upon us once again
I think the problem is.....all these tracks are tracks we have heard in the club for months on end and then finally Z103.5 plays the tracks by then we have moved onto new tracks.
Almost every one of those tracks listed at the beginning have been played to death in the clubs already.

I forget what song they played yesterday as their "dance" song on the 4oclock 4play...but I remember it being an awesome song and I cranked up the music..

You guys are all correct. Really cheese is an opinion of each individual person. Some think its cheese, others think its awsome.
EDM people have more knowlege of music, therefore making z103 tracks cheese. People who don't know or care of EDM will listen and love it regardless of how many times its played. Over and over and over.
We pride ouselves on playing music before it hits the clubs.
z103 prides themselves on airing tracks after they hit the clubs and attract the widest audience. Then playing it till its death.
We find it, they play it
This is not miami was on my hitlist even before miami this year. And z103 aired it just now.
If I had a suggestion for them they shouldn't say, NEW or HOT OFF THE PRESS or just released as it makes them look a little outdated. Why listen if you dont always hear the freshest music ?
They are daytime and we are overnights, the market is a big world of a difference. EDM is coming back and i'm personally making sure it comes back even bigger than in the 90s
Have a great weekend.

Yeah my only critisism is that they call old tracks new...
Why not just play them when they actually are new?
Stations such as 246, energy 105 and some college radio shows definately fill the void when it comes to this issue thats for sure. Problem is that most people listen during the day and get their direction from the more commercial stations. And if they are mis-informing people its not a good thing.

i'd say how about z103 sticks to their lousy shitty outdated euro and hiphop. If you're playing outdated songs and claiming they are new then don't play them at all. Watch the amount of gino bambino's when sander will be here at TIL jumping around in the circle screaming HEY HEY HEY HEY!!
I know for a fact that Deep Dish management called Z and told them to remove Stevie Nicks "Dreams"

i hate z103, the only thinbg it will do to great tunes is play it out, the next thing u know, ginos are gonna be totas, hey paulo did u hear the new corsten song, i was at pollazzo and it was pumping!!
KILL DANNY D
I never listen to the radio usually ever, but I need to put some new and different cd's in my car so today I was listening to it. I normally will listen to a rock station or the Edge, but as I was flipping through channels I passed z103 who were playing some kind of Bob Sinclair remix of Hold On.
I don't mind once in a while, but if I listened that that station every day I think I would have to kill myself.. lol.
Anyhow, to each their own. Someone is obviously listening to them out there 
At least you have a radio station that plays some HALF decent stuff...even it is over played. I'd still rather hear overplayed tunes than shania twain, alanis morisette and endless amounts of rap.
I don't mind listening to Z103.5 sometimes (or other top 40 station for that matter) it has to some degree "variety"...
And if I happen to listen to a song that's overplayed...I just switch it to another station...or switch it to CD...
When I have enough money...I should get one of those transmitters...oh well
