-- Why do Sasha & Digweed both have sh*tty attitude?
Pages (13): « 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 »

When Digweed played here in a small (300 capacity) club about 2 months ago he rocked the house.

I hate strobe lights with a passion so when this lighting dickhead was turning it on n off as he pleased during his set, i wrote a Digweed a message on my phone n showed it to him saying "yo could you get that guy to lay off the strobe. Its shit, youre awesome, hope you're having fun - we are!". He read it, n wrote back "i know, he's a fucking twat".

End of strobe light.


Digweed's a chiller - not a rockstar you needa take photos with. Do you go see a DJ to hear music or get a snap shot with him? Cool, now get over it n enjoy.

That doesn't make them a good DJ. It just means they are not celebrity enough yet to still be able to do that without being mobbed by 1000 gimps trying to touch their hero.

Djs are people just like the rest of us. They're not some Hollywood star. So why treat them like they are? Be normal around these people, and you might make a first impression less threatening toward them...

Haha, great story.

That Tony Wilson quote was epic win.

And if the only way I had to make the bulk of my income was spending 5 to 7 hours a night in a club surrounded by sketchballs of every color in the rainbow (all of whom want to be your best friend) only to be followed by nonstop airport travel, I would probably not be too thrilled about it most nights either.

Doing what any of the jocks who are constantly traveling do would drive me to the brink of insanity within a weeks - so I can only imagine how thin it has to be wearing on two fellows pushing 40.

Dood, DJ worship was so like, 8 years ago.

I don't believe there are is an excuse that can be made for them. The fans are the reason they are where they are at. It should be out of appreciation to spend 15 minutes with a couple fans after the fans supported them.

How is he supposed to know the guy that's pulling him aside asking questions on his way out of booth isnt totally fuckin annhilated and is about to waste his time. Or maybe the guys going to do something even stupider like request his favorite trance track. Maybe Sasha was on drugs. Maybe his girlfriend broke up with him. Who the fuck cares. You go to a party to be with your friends. You should spend your time with them and focus on meeting new people, speading a good vibe amongst the crowd.

obviously the people that got dissed care. maybe none of these things happened since they are rude on regular basis. another rude annoying dj is dave dresden.

how can any of these djs be rude when they have the best lifestyle. they get paid to play the music they love and see the world. if people just go to party with friends then they would not come out to see these djs for $30 and wait in long lines instead they would just go to any party for free.

15 minutes for each set of fans that wanna have a little interaction?

We'll just ask the powers that be to create the 8-day week shall we, so that Sasha has enough time to do just that.

Personally it's down to expectation. You go to a club, armed with flags, random shit, merchandise, or records asking for signature or throw your camera out quicker than saying "hi how are you?" the dj is going to react like you're a gimp.

If you play it by ear, and act cool around them. They'll treat you the same way.

Are you kidding me?

People who still live in this fantasy world of "OMG, if you're a big DJ, you've got an infinite amount of money and love your life every single day!" really haven't got a clue.

Dealing with idiots like you in clubs night in and night out would wear even the most resilient of individuals down over time.

I imagine after all said and done - it is nothing more than a job for most of these jocs. I think the allure of "OMG I have bunch of ppl dancing to "my" music" (by "my" music I mean the kind I spin...) Sure, I bet they are not doing too shabby for themselves, however, I don't think they see it same way you do - to them it's another paycheck and if the night is enjoyable, great!

I also thought that if I was making shitload of money, doing something I enjoy I'd be always happy. Guess what - I am still doing the same job I used to enjoy and even though I should be all smiles, as I pull in a fat paycheck, I still feel like shit. Sometimes doing what you enjoy and getting paid big bucks is not as as hype as it seems.

I guess the novelty wears off and then what used to be fun - now is a job. Besides, some of the fanbois I see mobbin the DJ are sweaty, smelly, drugged-out idiots that I wouldn't wanna talk to under normal circumstances... let alone after trans-atlantic flight in yet another time zone and after 8 or so hours of loud music that must be destroying my hearing, let alone pounding headache.

So, I sorta understand.

In the end, I think even the lowest, pissant local DJ who's ever played out at a club or relatively big party (hey - just like me!) knows what it's like to deal with even one annoying person near the booth.

20 years of that might be enough to cause a severe mental breakdown and complete loss of any sliver of faith in humanity someone may have ever had.

It sounds exactly like a topic from a crap reality-tv show: "It's terrible, I'm beautiful" where top models/whore attentions whined about how hoooorible it was to be 'beautiful'.

I can understand why they are pissed off anyway. They just need to select more the venues they are coming (just like Trentemoller).

I saw Digweed smile not once, but twice at Kool Haus in Toronto.

I was in incredible shock. I mean. Digweed. He never smiles!

He must have gotten the most amazing head on the stage or something.

As for fanboy thing, courtesy goes both ways.
Don`t annoy the DJ when he`s busy, or looks occupied.
If you`re going to refuse to talk to a fan or don`t want to sign an autograph, at least be polite when saying no.

Actually quoted from the GU#009 booklet which I have right in my hand right now:

"Clubbers used to demand he kissed their girlfriends- not 'cause they fancied him or worshipped him, just that the way he played records touched them emotionally" -Dom Phillips 1998

Sasha is superstar pimp..

STFU!!!!

i heard them play for 4 hours, on a yaught cruise @ wmc, they were nice and friendly. Sasha even asked us if we where headed to ultra after. Nice people if u ask me.

I agree that 20 years of that might spoil the passion and makes things boring but you have to know that Digweed and Sasha are probably the more geeky type of DJs. While the skilled DJ's seem more concentrated on the mixing than crowd interraction, the more shittier ones have a great link with the people. That's what I've noticed.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents. I like what they do but I don't think I would go see Sasha live again because I'm not going out to analyze mixing or whatsover, as long it's "good/average" and the atmosphere's good.

yes lets' all judge a dj's skill level by the way he interacts with the crowd, BRILLIANT..

Hmmm, I'd have thought they would be hard to see, you know, especially with them resting snugly on their chin and all.

Talented lot.

he played that song because we connect every time our eyes lock and he jumps up and down while pointing in my general direction. The music sounds so much better when it happens.


sometimes i think dj fanboys must be the same vapid cunts who spend big money to see men in speedos wrestle while they chant their names like fools.
