The Superstars.

Well not always.

Why do you as an individual go to see international DJ's?

What makes you fork out the big dollars to see a guy stand in front of you and play the records that you yourself could play?

Well for one thing I can't mix so they can play records better than me. And you I'm guessing from what we hear about the weekend

It's all about the armin bum wiggle. As if you wouldn't fork out $$ to see that.

exactly right kel, you can't say no to god

so i can whinge about how shit they were.

better yet i often like to not go, but still whinge about how shit they would have been and how overpriced they are.

hahaha!

Dr.P I like going to see an international to grasp an idea of how the music is taking shape in other places of the world, often when i see an international act i go for the experience of a large scale party and booming big room sounds!

in the prog scene its the internationals that have access to all the unreleased and unheard of promos that just knock your socks off. For instance John Digweed. He has access to so many unreleased tunes that you probably wont be able to get a hold of in the next year or that you may not even come across in your life.

That and of course the vibe that draws me to see international DJs - yeah face it the vibe is always better when an international DJ is playing

decent internationals help create an atmosphere that you wouldn't have at a normal club night, and local production puts more effort into the events when intl's come over.

then there's the drugs, funny randoms (including our own AU.Ta's), gorgeous girls and thumpin beats.

however tiesto @ home... never again.

what sort of dumb question is that Dr P??

the same reason you do.. to hear good music, usually great mixing, and new upfront tunes and a great vibe.. for entertainment


the same reason you would i imagine

why must everything be analysed??

i love going out full stop.


the fact that an international come to visit and play the music i love to hear, trainspot, dance and mong to is just an added bonus.

who the hell doesn't enjoy going out?

well there must be someone because there's always some silly khunts complaining how shit the tracklist was or how the soundsystem hurt their ears the following morning...

yeah, what he said and in tassie its so rare we get anyone worth seeing, its exciting. and as much as i love mixing, listening will always be my first love (its just so much easier! )

in my (very limited) experience, its normally the support acts that do it for me. most internationals ive seen are too genre-whorey for my liking

+ the new tunes that i can look fwd to owning in several fvcking years when theyre released

oh- and seeing the shuffle. nobody can shuffle at my house

meow thats what im talking bout

let's face it. the internationals are the guys the locals wannabe.

if dj's were like chocolate, then the internationals would be the best tasting cadbury and the locals would be that cheap heritidge shit you buy for easter for 2 dollars for the cousins you don't get along with.

no offence of course to my budz, i'm a peice of cheap chocolate just like you all .

i disagree.

why are internationals better? they have a name that pulls a crowd, and a crowd is what makes the atmosphere we all enjoy. they get sent the newest tunes, well before release. does that make them better?? could your *average* clubber tell the diff between an unheard armin mix and a begic? i dont reckon. once youre an international, its plain sailing, you can do whatever you like and its no longer about how good you are. i mean, listen to tiesto ffs. its like anything, just coz youre the biggest doesnt make you the best. its easy to be a big name an ride on the work the warm up DJs have done on a night.

i love the atmosphere that the big names bring, but purely on a track by track basis, in my experience i almost always prefer the amateurs.

well there has to be some reason why they are so popular... what do you think it could be?

agree totally.

I only pay the dollars for the atmosphere.

They don't mix any better than any local I've heard. (cept maybe JPL)

so mixing is the key then?

so what ur saying is that ud prefer listening to someone with little experience and low skills to someone who has been djing for say 15 years all over the world to many different types of crowdz.

i do not inderstand that.

Originally posted by Dean Millson well there has to be some reason why they are so popular... what do you think it could be?

originally, they couldve been the best there is. or they were reasonably talented at a time where not every man and his dog wanted to be a DJ. timing is important. maybe its coz theyve written some shit hot tunes. but being a producer doesnt mean youre a good DJ. or visa versa obviously.

but once youve harnessed that popularity its very hard to lose. you wouldnt even need to write another song again. youd just play the best demos you got sent for your label etc.

im not bagging internationals at all. they all started somewhere. but being #1 doesnt, in and of itself, mean youre the shit (imo). i reckon the crowds make the nights as much as the DJs do. people enjoy it becoz theyre seeing ****tiesto****, not necessarily coz they loved the way he was mixing on 5 decks at once, or even really liking the tnues he was playing
