Originally posted by Endlesswave Yeah those sets are decent, however I saw him at Guv in Nov of 01...meh...I will probably hit up the DnB party on Sat knowing me.

I think the crowd had a big influence on his performance that night.

I will be there, Jules commands REspect whenever he is in town.

Yeah I agree...his set then wasn't as trancey as sets I'd heard at Gatecrasher and from Trance Energy. However his last set at Tonic was definitely more trance and he played to the crowd more. Crowd was more into it than that time at Guvt. Though have to say a lot of our local DJs were in attendance. Many of them said they were there out of respect for what he's done for the scene as a whole.

I think he'll rock it at System - he seems to feed off the vibe of the crowd. From what I've experienced at System on Fridays, I think it'll be his best outing here.

for me it doesn't matter if a DJ will move the crowd or not because do i even care if the people are dancing or not? its the music that's suppose to make you dance, the DJ is just person who shows what style of music he loves (at least thats what i think). lately i came to realize that there is all this hype around the so-called top DJ's in the world and yet when they come they usually dissappoint. i rather see local DJ than some top trance DJ because i KNOW he'll play a better set. the only reason why local DJ don't get that so much support is because their suppose to be the warm up DJ most of the time they steal the shows but anyways ofcourse there is a dozen very good DJ's and thats a different story.
as to Jules, he's a real wanker! he only puts up decent sets once in a while.

The DJ is not just a person. He is up there to perform, not just play records. I think it is safe to say that DJing is indeed an art, therefor the DJ is an artist. There is always hype around international DJs because we only get to see them a couple of times per year.

I have had a discussion about locals and out-of-towners with people. I think that locals should be able to move a crowd much better than any out of towners, why? They play to that same crowd every week and they know exactly what they want and what sounds get them moving. International DJs do not have the benefit of knowing how the crowd will react beforehand, this makes their job super-difficult. So when we say international guests don't play as good of a set, it's understandable why.

The true test of a local DJs abilities comes when they themselves play in another city for the first time. I can guarantee you that the chances of them 'stealing' the crowd is very small.

what you say is true, however when you go to see a guest international dj, you go with certain expectations of the type of music they will be playing as you had heard them play before, be it their live sets, their mix tapes/cds or having heard them before live(that goes for any dj playing any genre)...

Very well put itika. I think that is so true about local DJs having the edge over the local crowd. As much as I respect and enjoy our local DJ talent, drop them say in the UK and I can guarantee you they'll have a tough time getting the crowd going.

Thing is, local DJs have a following in their hometown. People that have come to appreciate their musical tastes and style of play over a period of time. These people come out week in and week out to see them spin because they know what to expect. However, they would face the same difficulty as international DJs that come here if they were to play elsewhere. Reading a crowd isn't something you can really do before you drop the first track. Being that the DJ has probably only brought a condensed record box - there's not much they can do if the crowd isn't into what they've brought. Also add in the fact that some clubs/events sometimes ask the DJs to play to a certain style that fits in with the theme of the night. I know for a fact Jules and other DJs have played tracks here that they wouldn't be able to get away with back home. But I guess for them its nice to play those tracks and get a reaction. For example Tiesto dropping Flight 643 in Toronto in Dec. Crowd went crazy and understandably. But dropping that back home, would gotten him much less of a response. For us its a treat to hear Tiesto play that while back home they expect more than a track from three years ago that they've probably heard to death. Its much easier for them to test out new material on local crowds than to come over here and gamble. So I can see why they'd play a lot of familiar tracks, anthems etc.

So you really have to fault on the side of DJs not knowing what to expect when they travel to different cities. Credit to those DJs who can come in and get the crowd going. That is the sign of a superstar DJ (for lack of a better term).

I'm not so sure about that. A while back Mark Scaife was openning up for PVD and he liked him so much that he brought him back to Germany to open up for him the next 3 parties, and he's openning up for him here again.

The bottom line is, if someone is good, they'll be good anywhere, be it if they're playing locally or internationally.

yeah ok, i'll forgive him too

I don't mind Judge Jules at all. You just can't expect to be blown away with the most cutting edge music. Jules was one of the first DJs I ever saw and I've seen him again and he's yet to dissapoint me. If you like energetic, uplifting music, this should be a great party.

I don't really mind Judge Jules in fact as u can c by my pic under my name i have a chance to speak with him b4 is set at Tonic last Oct/02. My fav. song from that set was DJ Tomcraft - Loneliness, when he droped that song the place (tonic) went crazy - everyone was up and jamming to beat. Like drewfactor said if u want some uplifting high engery music that will keep u moving throught his set then this is the party to come to. I have seen Jules now 3 different times here in Toronto and not once has he let me down. He is very capable of spining a trance set ( Live @ Qontact) or just listen 2 any of his gatecrasher set b/c u have a lot to choose from and my fav. Live @ Lush june 30/00 and homelands 02. So with that i can't wait until he once again graces us (toronto) with his presents.
