Tracklisting requests to DJs on Myspace

My friend does it, and I think it�s pretty stupid. I told him to stop doing it, but he does it anyway. He�s never even gotten a reply. He�s messaged Sasha, Paul van Dyk, Cosmic Gate, etc.

I�ve been searching for a track for a couple months..and he told me to just message the DJ on myspace. I told him:

A)They�re probably sick of hearing people ask what tracks they play.


B)I�m sure they don�t want to give out the names of the tracks, to keep their mixes more exclusive. They have to work hard to find quality tracks, too.

C)Half the time, it�s probably not even the actual DJ that checks the messages on myspace anyway.


Has anyone actually ever done this? Seems stupid to me.

Probably pointless, but does it hurt? Meh.

what is stupid is deejays who don't bother answering to their fans. if you don't want to reveal the title, just say it. not answering to messages with clear questions is just arrogant, it only takes like 10-20 seconds to do so.

hint:

these people have people who log onto myspace for them

Yeah, see item C in my original post.

MSZ: I knew someone would say that..

The thought never even crossed my mind until my friend mentioned that he does it all the time..just doesn't seem right.

You are absolutely right my friend, I talk every once in a while with a certain DJ (a good one, not PvD, Cosmic Gate, Tiesto, etc.) on the Facebook messenger and this is exactly what he told me. I totally understand his take. Must be annoying to get swarmed with questions from people you don't even know.

I asked Rowan Blades a while ago where i could find livesets from him, and he gave me a nice answer and a link to a lot of sets. Then again it wasnt a tracklist request so maybe that's why. Either way he seems to be a great guy

Only time i used MySpace really. Who designed that site? It looks like shit.

I asked once peter pestra what sample he used on a track.... he gave me an answer.

It's not stupid, depending upon who you're asking.

I've asked people like Damian DP and DJ Elusive about some of their t/l's and tracks they've played out in videos I've seen, and they've responded to my requests.

If you're e-mailing Oakenfold or Digweed, however, as to what they was playing on some weekend he was in your town, then save yourself the effort.

...and yes, as per nefardec's comments, these major headliners usually have people log on to their Myspace for them.

what a great profession. i'd like to be the myspacer for felix da housecat
