I saw DJ Rap... she is stacked.
All the records she played were white label and I don't think she touched the pitch adjust on the tables once, like she must have been playing tracks all at the same tempo so she didn't have to beatmatch :/ |
You know she was a pinup model for years before becoming a DJ?
DJ Rap trivia fact: She nearly completely destroyed her career accidentally one night; She turns up to play a big club in London (Club UK in South london I believe) about to play and there's a weird vibe in club - it's packed no one is dancing and the music is not playing. She steps up, and as her first track she plays an oldschool tune called "Mr Kirk your you son is dead".
Next thing, there is virtually a full on riot aimed at her, people pelting the DJ booth with bottles and anything the can throw. She has to be rushed out of the club by security.
It turns out, about half an hour before she arrived a young lad (regular face at the club) had overdosed and died on the dancefloor.
She couldn't book a gig for about a year after that.
Back OT:
You really have to be careful of these things. I actually use a a couple of services for some SEO stuff and social content managers, but so many of these companies will actually fuck up your online presence. If they do the usual and obvious tricks (like HTML word dump sites, fake backlinks, automated postings from dummy accounts etc), you'll get flagged in a heartbeat and many of the sites you need will de-index and blacklist you. Good luck ever getting that online presence back. At some point I think soundcloud will start using some kind of quality filter to stop the devaluation of their platform that so many people complain about (i.e. follow me, follow you, to the point it's numbers are meaningless).
I would be very careful about suing these services. To do it that cheap they are cutting corners and the problem comes when many people all do the same thing with the same service - it's self competition and all that ends up happening is you either get less action in the long run and or banned/flagged/blacklisted by google and bing.

Interesting story. I know exactly the tune you refer to, me and my bro used to play it all the time when he got his first set of decks (belt drives). Used to love it.
However surely if someone has literally just died on the dancefloor (for whatever reason) the night would be over, police would be there, a formal investigation would be needed. They wouldn't just take the body away, dim the lights, and the volume back up. |
what is funny is that in the track Mr kirk's son died from an overdose, thats a bloody funny coincidence (not for her nor for the people there ofc) but i think she could hardly have started with a worst track given the case.
On topic i think having 3,000 followers in twitter,sc etc... won't change much, it's common to see people that follow 5000 persons and have 3000 followers, this is not what twitter or Sc are meant, must suck to have constant updates by people you don't fucking care.
I prefer to have my track listened by a handful 100 that can actually value my stuff than by 1,000 who won't bother pressing the play button.
