edit: lol, here we go again...

Of course it's directed towards them, where did I say it wasn't?

It's not ironic because lately I have not been as much of a "superfan" as years prior - but 6 months ago I would have gone to hear her anywhere in this city.

Damn, if Burridge is gonna play a fromage club like TiL. Next time please make it for Dragonfly. Every time I've gone to see a headliner there I've played poker at the casino and won $500-600. Book him at Dragonfly so I can get my lapdances at Sundowners and Seductions as well.

milos please, credit where credit is due. they're hardly fucking dj's in training...

no you're right, I was referring to the now topic at hand in this thread... "Til doesn't book the opening dj's I want, so it's M&S's fault." WTF lol

quote:

Originally posted by Cribby Wouldn't it be so much simpler and make more sense, to have a deejay that already suits the headliner to open for them?

Chris, I feel your pain. But you're hardly in a position to be advising Jose/ Talal on anything. Something tells me what they're doing at the moment is working for them. lol

edit: (in this specific case, I imagine that M&S are opening for their draw, not their diversity. A formula which is obviously making TiL lots of cash)

or derrick carters... or k-swings

i'm not trying to take shots at M&S here jon. my point is, there is talent in toronto better suited for the gigs. i feel as though its taking away SO much from the scene. not to mention feeling shortchanged as a clubber having to hear the same dj's every time. where's the variety? what happened to putting music first?

money > music

FUCK...people this is a LEE FUCKIN BURRIDGE THREAD

holy shit

Originally posted by infinity HiGH money > music

sure, but think of it this way. the financial successes of our scene have allowed you the opportunity to see Lee Burridge twice in the span of a month.

The fact Burridge is coming back is because of his 365 Tour, where he plays multiple clubs in a city within a short time period. I've known about the FW+TiL gig combo since September, so I doubt it's money that got him to TiL, since he's played FOUR times in a month in places like Denver, CO for this tour. Same goes for Sydney. I think if our scene wasn't so mainstream/money-driven, and more music-focused, he'd play here 4 times in a month too.

But really, beyond Footwork and the Zone (before he played there and got told to play something else), there really isn't any other club in the city that I can really see him playing at.

Meh, I think this is a rarity. Very few DJs play for small promoters then go to TIL or vice versa.

no more f'n TIL crap in the Burridge @ Footwork review thread

people just need to put their money where their mouth is.

if you don't like the venue and/or don't like the promoter or club's choice for an opening act, it's simple...DON'T GO. You can also email the DJ's management, and the DJ themself, with your feedback.

This isn't some hick town with one club where you either go there or you don't go out. Toronto has WAY too many options for someone to feel that they have to 'settle'.

Sure, in regards to maximizing draw, M&S are the best choice. But, I think Chris means it would make more sense musically if they had a techno headliner opening for a techno DJ.

Chris is expressing his preference as a customer of This is London. He is not advising management on what DJs to book. In discussions about opening DJs, clubbers like Chris only care about how the opening DJ compliments the main act. They do not care if booking another DJ is a smarter business decision, nor should they care. They are the customers and therefore care about value. They are not owners of the business, so they do not care about revenue (ie. draw).

The fact that booking a certain DJ is a smart business decision is not a sufficient reason why clubbers should cease to continue complaining about the decision, or like the decision.

i don't get this, it seems like everyone is ragging on them saying that their style is not suited as an opener for certain DJS, and yet when they are opening up for someone with a different style they do change it up. is that not what a good opening DJ is supposed to do?

and yet this is still not enough for some of you. why do DJS have to be confined and labelled to one specific style of music?

Originally posted by Cribby Wouldn't it be so much simpler and make more sense, to have a deejay that already suits the headliner to open for them? Instead of 'imitating' and 'trying' to change sound...Just because Joe played some similar stuff does not mean he is capable of playing that style...anyone can just pick random minimal tracks and play them...as Milos stated.

yes but what makes you think he is not capable of playing that sound? for all you know he might love playing and listening to that sound, but because of some of the other clubs he plays at he is confined to playing a certain way because the crowd would not be receptive to it otherwise ...

Good point indeed. But if that were the case, he should diversify his residencies a bit. Nobody's forcing him to play to the same crowd and the same music every weekend. If I were in a similar situation, then I'd want to play different music to different crowds, and build my reputation as a diverse DJ that way. Maybe more commercial, pounding beats on Fridays, something more underground and "forward" on Saturdays, and something else on Sundays, for example.

I never said he wasn't capable...I just don't have proof that he is...

I'd rather be blessed by an opening set of someone I'm familiar with (ie. Greg Gow) instead of someone who [may] be capable of delivering the goods...

Good point though...
