Famous quotes
Anyone reccommend any famous quotes by djs or producers? Ones which are either witty/mememorable etc.
cheers
i want to find dave clarke's quote about trance music. it went something like "i think deep down all trance djs are embarrassed of what they play. deep down, they know they're playing watered down techno".
DJ Tiesto: "I like big boobies."
OH tiesto! Don't we all!?
"I think trance fans are a lot more open minded than house music purists" -Markus Schulz
not by dj's or producers but I like them nonetheless:
"I guess in 4 or 5 years, the new generations music will have a synthesis of styles. It'll rely on electronics and tapes. I can kind of envision one person with a lot of machines, tapes and electronic setups, singing or speaking and using machines."
-Jim Morrison
�Without music, life would be a mistake.... I would only believe in a God who knew how to dance.�
-Friedrich Nietzsche
"When I started, DJs weren't in the media, electronic music wasn't in the sales charts and a DJ was the freak in the corner who provided the music while other people had fun. So to do it, you must have been a freak and a music lover."
- Paul van Dyk
"[Robert Miles's "Children"] really was the beginning of the end since then everybody jumped on the bandwagon that was able to turn on his computer and press a few keys and buttons...and everybody wanted to do this trance sound and make big money by hitting the charts. This can't be good for a �new style� or something more underground. So it didn�t take too long before there were mostly commercial pop songs that people called �trance� flooded the floors and charts and since a lot of these pieces of music somehow sounded the same the people started to get bored...it also could have been any other track but it was Children to start the biggest hype and death of trance."

The real moment for me was staring down from the [Hacienda] DJ booth one night when Mike Pickering was DJ-ing and suddenly going, "Oh fuck, now I get it, the democracy of the art experience, its everybody - the people who made the record, it's the DJ, it's everybody dancing - and it isn't four guys on a stage with white lights on and everybody in the dark." What dance music has become is one guy with a white light on him and everyone else in the fucking dark, which is precisely how it wasn't meant to be.

Rave in heaven brotha!!

[on their studio secrets] "SO, for those of you who have been asking (some more persistently than others...), here is how we do all the "weird stuff". There's no magical software that will do it for you - that is for pussies. The only way to do it is the slow, old-fashioned way: by hand."
- Telefon Tel Aviv
eric prydz has a quote from an interview somewhere along the lines of "...you can write a horrible track, but as long as it sounds good on a big sound system, people will play it..." any of you swedish house mafia guys care to find it?

Famous quotes:
"I have a dream..."
- DJ Sammy
Armin van Buuren on illegal downloading
"If you download, you are destroy the scene, It is simple as that"
Not a great quote, but I really think that hes saying that to protect his label.
Armin on making money,
"I haven't made any money from Armada so far, because all the money goes back to production"
I call that bullshit, where are the company assets?
Tiesto on illegal downloading in 2000
"Question: What do you think when people download your songs illegaly. Is it bad because you loose royaltymoney.
Well, I'm not in there for the money. I'm really glad, actually honored, that people download my music. That's a compliment I think."

| Originally posted by idoru In my opinion, Moby said it best when I was talking to him during a book signing a few years back. "I don't really think I'd feel good about DJ'ing in front of 20,000 people. Most of the records wouldn't be mine, and they're cheering for me when really, they shouldn't be cheering for me at all. I didn't make the record, why should they love me?" |
"its not about ego's, its about the music"
Armin Van Buuren - "Don't be a prisoner of your own style."
I'm surprised noone has mentioned this one yet:

| Trance had become a dirty word. Thanks to Ian Van Dahl, Lasgo, Flip 'N' Fill and DJ Sammy, a generation of kids has grown up thinking trance is the shittiest music since country and western. - Paul van Dyk |
