ROFLFMAO @ the bells st maccas n000breed 4 hahhahahah


As for matt no longer trancey ash mate u got to do the shit before u can do the gold but keep it up sounds like a good future u got

I was also told to play for my friends formal which they told me they would pay me around 500 dollars, but i declined the offer because for some reason i find it embarressing to do school discos, cause doing that seems like your a mobile jockey and not a proper disc jockey...good luck in it too.

Yeah like Paul said .. you'll make it eventually .. a lot of not-so-hot gigs before you get the hot gigs!

In the meantime, better wipe the dust off those Nelly records

I would have taken that offer in a second
$500 = A LOT of vinyl

$500 = 10 cartons of Stella Artois.

i guess, but it's the self esteem that gets lost.

hahaha, cool

you now you dont need to play shit like Nelly! I was surprised! Maybe in the city where all the wannabe Nelly's and sht are, but at party's I always play like party kinda prog, house and stuff like
Trisco - Ultra
Slacker - Looky Thing
Tom Mangnan - Chutney (Nick Muir Edit)
Sasha - Fundamental
(BREAKZZZ!)
Infusion - Legacy (JxL Mix) The huge bass makes this a winner!
Chemical Bros . . .anythhing by them
Azzdo Da Bass - Dooms Night (Timo Mix)

and this one really surprised me
Hella and Farley - The Rising Sun (Bedrock Remix)

then trance tracks that rock the house down

iio - Rapture (Armin Mix) This is insane, everyone loves it!
Ferry Corsten - Punk
Blank & Jones - Djs Fans Freaks (Cosmic Gate Remix)
DT8 - Destination
Anything with vocals


I agree you have to do small stuff before you can get bigg stuff. Plus Im under 18 so its fuckin hard as anything to get gigs in proper clubs!

hmm school disco...I'd play

Pornorockers - ****licker
Uberdruck - Bloodyslut
PQM - You Are Sleeping
John Creamer - Fuck Sonnet
The Horrorist - One Night In NYC
Drugface - ****master

Should liven things up a bit.

Dude i dont want to diss u man, but to get known and to be heard u have to start off with the shit gigs, im sure tijs, armin and the likes all did their share of house partys and debs etc. So 2 me the attitude that u have is one that tells me of a guy not gonna get far imo wheres as matt_a seems to want to do the shit work, while still containing his dignity with some nice tunes, and being wiser for it. To me it displats an ability as a dj to adapt to diff crowds obviousle u enjoy playing to no crowds

errr... it seems you and i have taken up djing for totally different reasons.

i chose to dj cos i thought the act of communicating my passion to a crowd (any crowd) would be quite a thrill (not to mention the sheer fun of mixing).

are you telling me you're not willing to play to a certain audience because it compromises your integrity? if you think about it, that's just plain snobbery.

... and they would of payed you handsomely too.

ooops fuck me drunk, i totally forgot about the thread topic!

good shit matt, i would of loved to been able to play to my school mates

... then again, i would also like to be able to mix.

Originally posted by Euphorica@AUS obviousle u enjoy playing to no crowds

i agreed with all you said until i reached this line. thought it a lil harsh. when i see somebody in the booth, i see two reasons which may have initiated his being there. either love for the music, or the love as an entertainer. the best dj requires both, so that he's able to not only share his passion for, but share THE music itself. When I play, obviously in the bedroom, i have yet to think about crowds, but its not to say i wouldn't want them. at the moment however, its been primarily about the music. when you choose to play a gig which isn't your style, you choose to compromise who you're playing for. yourself? or for others? an entertainer [note: not emphasized in a degrading nor derogatory manner] wouldn't have a problem in adapting, cause he adores that box office seat.

while to some extent, i see psygnosis's point of view, i do think he's a lil too quick to brush $500 = 25 records off. since atm, it's jus been about the music, therefore purchasing only the music i like, the only fear that'd drive me not to take such a gig, is the lacking of the right "party substance" in my box. not because i dont enjoy playing to crowds. atm, its just priority, espesh with such limited funds.

matty is doing it the right way though. so definite kudos. he's playing all the house/school parties his style!

yeh i guess everyone is right, but take into consideration that this was offered in November 2002, i was only a amatuer DJ then so the fear of screwing up the set put me back a little bit, but i know if i was offered the job now i would do it. This goes towards the same reason why i havent sent out any demos yet to clubs, the fear of me screwing up, and i know i have stage fright but i know i can overcome this. MichaelDudikoff, your right, but if you were in my situation then you would understand, me only having DJed for less than year doesn't give me enough confidence yet but another month of practise then i'l send out demos to altitude and stuff. BUT as i said, if i was offered a DJ job at a school parties, disco, formal etc then i would accept it.

psygnosis . . you are one of the djs for Nova with WaX aren't you?

Yeah, but you know that already and the situation me being a resident for NOVA is totally different than playing live in a gig. To tell you the truth when i had the interview with Tom Brown he said he is going to take people to IBIZA, since he runs EUPHORIA in IBIZA he said he might take me and Cameron to Ibiza to a test in Euphoria, so i know if i panic at a normal club, i'm really going to be shitting myself in a better club.

BUT yeh, as i said if i was offered a school gig tomorrow or now even then i'll take it cause you people are right, you have to start low then grow on the ladder.

Agreed there aswell, the fear of repetiveness of playing the same records is a fear for me too, i'm not a millionaire so records are not widely available, and having no credit card makes it even worse since the variety becomes even thinner. BUT nicely said JayKue, i agree 100%

Any gig is good I say, and it is good practice for when you get the better gigs!
