I'm a very religious person... that's why I go out so often...
"Yes, the DJ is a god. Or at the very least, he's our connection to another world. In times past we looked to religion to give us some kind of release from our dull working lives. Today we go out dancing. Of course, long ago the two things were combined, and religion - of the pagan variety - was all about eating sacred potions and dancing till you dropped. These days the closest most of us get to church is a nightclub. In a club we worship life, we worship our bodies, our youth, our sexuality. And those sacred potions are definitely in evidence. Many of us would be happy to confess that dance music is our religion. It is only natural then that we worship the figure at the centre of it all, our high priest - the DJ"

Well, I don't agree with this point of view either, but, if it offends you, you can clearly ignore it... it's not like you can't have the music without this ideology
It's all about the music, after all

I dont agree as this quote stands against the true spirit of electronic music, the "depersonalization" of music. After rock and Pop, Electronic Music developed the first scene where names and image didn't matter, where you'd just celebrate to faceless music in dark rooms and forget about everything. It was about the music, and the music only. Unfortunately, with today's superstar dj's (an inevitable development though) such an anonymous way of living the music hardly existy anymore.

I agree on (with?) both points. It is my religion, yet I do not worship the dj, but more the music he spins heh

Yea! I worship also the music but I can start to see the dj as the new priest that gives us the "message"...
