Instead of ranting on an internet forum, he said "fuck those rigged popularity contests" and focused his efforts on expanding his horizons started producing. Now, about 3 years later this guy has honed his skills and is making dancefloor BOMBS in his bassment, trying to compile a library of tracks. Now he has a chance to explode onto the scene locally in Toronto and who knows where his productions could further lead him...

So stop being a bitch and do something about it!

yea, a number of other ppl I know went and did the same thing.... Now Maxx plays our tracks, and we make cash off his SOCAN fees. Tables turned. end of story.

I personally think it's an insult (not to mention money grab) to hold a DJ competition that has the DJs "pay to play". That's just fucked.
And yes it's true.. anything other than Maxx's house style will lose the competition.

You've been away from Toronto too long....Trance is bigger then ever now....even the CZ has gone 100% trance.

hahahah this thread is awesome. Definitely a fun browse for the morning.

Loved the essay on why you joined TA.

Complaining won't do much. Take it as experience and a lesson learned. Keep a smile on your face and move on.

ps. welcome to TOTA

and you should of played house

haha...I remember this guy.

You added me to Facebook like 3 years ago!

Damn that AVB Group I made lol

I like the fact that muzik owns you

On the more serious note - bro, dj competitions are CRAP!!! They do not mean anything, they are always subjective and usually what determines the outcome is how many friends you brought to cheer for you The only real competition is Hip Hop dj battles, but its completely different story. So just treat this thing as a gig that you got and move on. If you're good people will know. 246 is not there to help you promote yourself, trust me And 99% of the promoters in town could not care less about the competition you won or anything else of that sort. They want you to play music that is fit to their events and bring significant amount of people with you. Mixing skills and everything else comes second, although I will never book a dj who cant normally mix two records.

So last night I played Y Not Lounge for 246radio's Dj Competition. My set went well, but the judge (also the organiser) is a jerk.
lets begin:

-was not paying attention to the djs and what they were doing
-more concerned with making sure his girl was not looking at me
-cut my set short, which was completely uncalled for
-mispronounced my name on numerous occasions (honestly, wouldn't another performer get super pissed off if the Organizer says your name wrong especially after you had a phone conversation with regards to the way its said prior to comp?)
-had to do a face off between 2nd and 4th DJ (I was 3rd) to decide who will advance, lone and behold they both advance anyway. what was the point? plus they were both terrible. argh.

so what do I do? do I give him (the Organizer) a piece of my mind? or let it go and carry on with the fact that I should have advanced in the competition and that he is a piece of shit?

Dear Sirus Black.

Its sad you have to post on a public message boards to get approval to contact me. Who are you really asking ? Does anyone care ?
I've never met such a bigger show off and poser in my lifetime. You have no class, no talent and no mixing skills. You couldn't hit a mix if you fell on it.
You didn�t' get 3rd you got LAST place. The lowest point score ever in the history or our competitions. I didn't even mention 3rd or 4th place so i'm not sure how you could even credit yourself for that.
Its called the 246DJ competition because we work countless hours in giving djs a chance to play out, have fun and meet new people. Clearly this is not what you were there for.

Please let us know were you have played before because until today, your name was not known.

You opened your laptop with some mixing program just so you could look cool while you mixed your 2 cds that you burnt. Not sure what the point of that was. Danced around like a complete fool, and then tried to shake everyone�s hand at the club. The staff and the patrons had a good laugh at you.
My girlfriend wouldn't touch you with a 500 foot pole, and don't worry i'll post your picture up here later when I get it. We will all get a good laugh.
She was staring at you because we were trying to figure why you were acting like a superstar dj. You were more concerned about that then actually playing music.
She is kind enough to support the competition and helps out at the bar.

Your set was cut short because you spent 5 minutes getting your 2 cds ready, putting one in and then the other, then back to the first. I couldn�t really figure it out.

You have no creativity and couldn�t change your set on the fly because you played the same track as the dj before you.
Your name is easily mistaken which I apologized for, but you can't even come up and mention it to me in a manner that�s understandable.
You shake and tremble like you are going to have a heart attack. Getting a complete sentence from you is impossible.

4 of us thought that the others were so close and had such a great night that they both deserve to advance.
Who are you to say they are terrible. They showed skill and above all great attitude. I would let them play on our station anytime. I�m really lucky to have met them. Such great people that don�t need your attitude.

The winners were actually a Trance DJ and a House DJ because as I�ve mentioned if you�re good you advance.

Have a listen to the set. The recordings are from the club and not the best quality so please excuse us.
