Judge Jules Question

So I downloaded some sets from Judge Jules. Mainly, the Saturday Night Warm Up (3-4-06). Is there a DJ that spins this style consistently? Its like, hip hop, breaks, techno, trance, etc.....I have never wanted to dance more in my life than when I was blasting this set on my stereo. But yea, I was totally loving the style! Any help would be much appreciated

Jules plays everything in one way or another. His main style is banging darker sometimes cheesy trance though. Has been throughout his career and that is wot has got him famous amongst other things. But he likes to play funky sets too like in Ibiza after he does a main set at Judgement Sunday. Tbh there inst anyone quite like thew Judge imo good or bad

The intro to Jule's shows is done by the cut up boys. Thats the part usually contain the hip hop/pop tracks. Jules tends to play more house and trance tracks with a bit of techno.

The show is pre-produced for the most part, by him and his producers. I have seen Jules live, He plays Trance (and a little offbeat aswell) when he is in the clubs from my understanding.

Love the show. Big fan.

The Judge is hit or miss...his sets back in '99 - '01 were banging...I miss those.

jules gets a lot of abuse,his style is often deemed as quite cheesy! but in general i think is respected for being one of the most if not THE most hard working dj on the circuit.

He's miss and miss in my opinion. He cannot mix to save his life and only plays athemic tunes that are guarenteed to get a reaction from the average 'trance' fan.

so he's this long time djing and yet cant mix? this is what u'r talking?
i listened to the TE2006 set and it was much better than johan gielen one, johan cant mix... only ugly transitions, but i dont ve nothing against jules technics, but his tunes are awful... heh...

Have you heard his radio show? some of the mixing is terrible, he seems to just wack the other tune right in and sometimes its not even beatmatched. Probably due to his lazyness but there is no excuse. Plus I did see him live on the weekend at Turnmills and he was on poor form.

lol, thats prob cos its a radio show - only the last 30 mins is mixed with a few mixes here and there....he doesn;t have to mix all the tunes you know...do u reckon u could do all that mixing while doing shoutouts, guest lists and hcatting all at the same time? no i didn;t think so..

easy!

well id love to tune in to your radio show sometime then!

The thread ended awhile ago. The Cut Up Boys are the ones who I was wanting to know about. And Judge Jules isnt that bad of a DJ. The more I hear him the more I like him. Plus, I think he is a great radio DJ.

He gets slated for being cheesey. But there's no doubt about it - if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have got in to dance music and spinning now. Nowadays I agree his sets are hit/miss, but overall I like him. But he is extremely hard working - it's not unusual for him to play 2 live sets in different cities on a Saturday night, on top of his radio show.

I wouldn't consider doing a 2 hour set twice on a friday night hard working. what does he do the rest of the week? and there are thousands of dj's out there (including me) that would give their right arm for a 'job' like his.

Doesnt mean you could do it any better than him though.

Well we're not talking gigs that are all in the same nightclub, or even the same city! Last weekend he was in London for his radio show from 7-9, then to Brighton (over an hour's drive away), then on to Bournemouth for slinky vs gkgg (about an 1.5/2 hours away). That's a fair bit more travelling and spinning than the average big name DJ does every Saturday and I would reckon he could probably earn enough to live doing much less gigs than he does, if he wanted to. He's getting on a bit, yet he's showing no signs of slowing up.

OK so his mixing and his track selection aren't exactly top notch 100% of the time, but there's not point in being jealous of him. Honestly, I think a lot of his success boils down to the his lively and uber-sociable personality, and only partly the music that he plays.

The bottom line is that I've got him to thank for getting me in to trance, so it doesn't really matter what you say or he does, I'll always be grateful for that (and I'm not the only one).

I'm not taking away anything from Jules, but the shows are mixed by a technician in the studio, his 30 min mix at the end of the show is pre-recorded, and VERY often the entire show is also pre-recorded.

Same goes for tongy's show...and fergie's.


Jules is a legend though and he's a hell of a lot wealthier than all of us, so I'll kiss his ass any day of the week.
