-- What's the deal ...

Posted by skywarp on Jan-10-2001 08:16:

.. with all the people calling themselves DJ on this forum ? I'm quite sure that most of you don't spin or at least don't spin in public, so why are you misinterpreting your identity ? Is it some prestige and coolness thing - probably since it is obviously very elite to be a DJ nowadays. And also did you notice that most actual DJs here don't call themselves DJ ...

peace

skywarp on a mission...

hehe skywarps on a mission to seperate the makers from the fakers..!

Posted by Dj Magma on Jan-10-2001 11:34:

I've been spinning for tree years, the last one and a half year i've been out playing in the public!!
I agree with you...some are dj's, and the rest just tried to make a cool name for them self..

Posted by Dwingo on Jan-10-2001 11:54:

It's a stupid fact, but so damn true. I don't DJ, and I probably never will. I don't care about that either, cuz the title of Dj only belongs to the best.

Posted by DJ SHY on Jan-10-2001 15:12:

BUSTED!!!!!

OK, OK, OK, I confess... just trying to be cool! j/k
I am an aspiring DJ (I can dream cant I)... Ill see if I cant delete the DJ from my name just for you all :P

nope, wont let me...

c'mon people, is that important for a real dj? i am one, and i spin in the public in switzerland, but i've got no "dj", it's just mind-x!
i don't need a "dj", everyone knows, that i am one.

peace with the only drug (TRANCE)

Whats the big deal?????
If they wanna put DJ before there names let them do it!

Posted by trancaholic on Jan-11-2001 13:25:

Mind-X: This may be a stupid question, but..
You say that everybody in Switzerland knows you, which must make you fairly big, are you then the Mind-X behind the old track "Nightingale", or have you simply "adopted" your name after that fellow?

Posted by skywarp on Jan-12-2001 03:13:

KieZie, the thing is if somebody puts DJ in front of their name, most people assume that the person is an actual DJ ... and you would hope that they would know what they're talking about music-wise, and also you know that you can talk dj-stuff with them. But on this board it turns out that some of the most inexperienced (clueless sounds too harsh) posters call themselves DJ (there is always a few exceptions) ... in the beginning it didn't really bother me either but it looks like it is getting somewhat out of hand. But who am I to stop you.

peace

Personally I don't care but skywarp has a point here.

Anyway, I don't recall anyone boasting with DJ skills or stuph so it should not really matter what alias they use here. People deserve to be flamed when to try to DJ in real life and fail like a flashlight which works with sunlight. I was visiting my friends in Stockholm a couple of months ago... we took a boat cruise there. On both trips there was this ULTRACRAPPY "DJ Java" playing at the disco. My god, that guy sucked like no other. There are no words to describe how bad he was. First off, his tracks were pure shit. He had no line in his music, that is, he played anything from jazz to eurotechno. Mixing, beat matching, fades, pitching etc. were totally unknown concepts to this fella. There were breaks up to 30+ secs between tracks! He tried to create something own by fucking up the tunes by inserting simple beats to remotely good songs making them sound horrible. In addition, he tried to sound like some radio-DJ and spoke some utterly stupid lines to the mic which was configured by some truck driver. Like this wasn't enough, the crowd consisted of drunken aggressive morons who were flailing, falling on other people, dancing with a beer mug, clapping hands (not matching the beat of course), yelling and screaming some shit. EWWWW! Terrible.

Anyway, the point is that DJ Java sucked so unbelievably much that I could have played a better "set" even on LSD trip with my hands tied.

Heh. Just had to get that out.

Sorry im pissing myself... lol... Its true u do get some extremely shit so-called DJ's, in my town there aint much in the way of proper clubz (thats why i mission it to sheffield when i go out!) and it takes the piss... Like mindbender sed, a lot of them dont even know what a crossfader is or how to beatmatch. It makes me sick listening to those guys when u know that someone else can do so much better but doesnt get the credit for it.

Peace

Sorry for my late reaction, but I guess your right considering the fake DJ�s

Posted by Dj Magma on Jan-12-2001 13:49:

Blue, Green, Yellow, Red ...........fake mind x or not?

Mind X...... every one has heard of him, but im not to shure mind x here in the forum is the real one!!
That means you made coulors and all those other songs and remixes, payed at goliath and realesed a bunch of mixed cd's ...... So what i am trying to say is Prove it!!!

If you realy are Dj Mind X i think you are a good dj

Posted by skywarp on Jan-12-2001 22:30:

HAHAHAHAHA ... the "famous" DJ Mind-X on this board is actually a 15 year old kid with an identity crisis (check his webpage, it is under his profile) ... sorry but that is just embarassing, hey D. Brankovic (calling you Mind-X would be a compliment), I hope for your own sake that you will post under a different nickname (if at all) in the future, since I am sure that you lost all respect and credibility by pulling that little stunt. What were you thinking, are you looking for acceptance ? I can't believe you are that desperate that you would pose as a famous DJ on some internet message board, and then even be arrogant enough to state that

This is one of the saddest and most pathetic actions I have seen in a while. If you wish to be immature, please direct all flames to

have a nice life

for sure I'm not that mind-x that you mean
but i am knowed in switzerland, i got to the turtables through my brother, who organises big partys
definately not that mind-x who produced colours etc.
if you meaned that, sorry I'm NOT that mind-x!

and skywarped, please ask next time before you write some shit down, I think it really sucks and so it's no more fun in that forum if you write down some stupid shit, that i didn't say. i never sad, that I'm the really famous mind-x, he's just my idol!

Posted by skywarp on Jan-12-2001 23:29:

D. Brankovic, the damage has been done, you can not reacall your actions now - calling each other names on a public message board won't restore your credibility, and neither will some weak and dubious excuses. If you have issues you wish to discuss with me, please move the correspondence to e-mail, there is no reason for everybody else to listen to your insults. It is too bad that this board doesn't have a filter option so I wouldn't have to see your name again.

At this point, I would like to apologize to all TranceAddicts who had to put up wiht this little verbal exchange.

This is all I have to say.

peace

Posted by Mind-X on Jan-12-2001 23:33:

yeah

like a little children skywarped, doesn't understand anything. but anyway, i wish you a nice life

bye to all tranceaddicts, i can't accept fuckin' shit like that from skywarped

This is a message board, people use whatever names they want, who cares.

As for the flames, while it may be entertaining it is a tad lame... Go use that energy and have some good sex or something.
