Originally posted by DaveT I'll be at G&D because 1 hour sets are fucking retarded...especially when some DJs who play here ALL THE TIME are a part of the lineup that's taking up potential set time of the headliners. And why the hell is Deep Voices last....no one gives a fuck about them accept their groupies. They should not be in the last slot. Prepare for a massive clearout. If the lineup was just kick ass DJ after kick ass DJ each having an hour set, that's fine....but don't force one hour sets on the headliners just so the local DJs can get their time in. Reminds me of Reza at his GoVentures massives down in LA. Used to always feel the need to get that big final slot....least he's come around and didn't do that at Monster Massive last year. Dave

Dave at same time, you and everyone else should be thanking the same local DJs for keeping the EDM scene up in NorCal alive and kicking. You talk shit about Dyloot being a local dj playing out a lot, and what the fuck are Gabriel and Dresden then? NOT LOCAL???
And don't talk shit about Deep Voices either, 'cause you obviously don't know what an amazzzzzing success they are having with their new tracks.(Insert: For those that unfamiliar with who Deep Voices are, Deep Voices, aka Dyloot and Steve Baltes). first, 3 of the new tracks are already signed to 2 labels(Noizest, Italy and Adjusted, UK with remixes coming from Thrillseekers, and one of the tracks will be featured on Blank & Jones next Mixed CD Album), second: http://www.arminvanbuuren.com/playlist/episode194/ pay close attention to track number 17(though Armin missed a letter in their artist name, lol.) Third. Dyloot will actually join Steve on stage for the very first time to do a LIVE PA with Steve, w00t w00t, can't wait to see this.
Maybe you should start thinking of Tom Slik and Dyloot as Residents, which means they'll be playing at 99% of their events, there is that better now, cause that's exactly what they are, resident DJs.

If you want to go see G&D that's fine, but please don't talk shit about other DJs/producers and their events. Simply put, no one is forcing you to go to events you wish not to attend.

Cheers...

You are comparing them with G&D?

Come on. G&D play here once every 4-6 months. Last time they played a scheduled gig was in January and the next time they play is at the end of this month. They might be from here, but it's made sure they are not overexposed. Dyloot and the rest Skills team can often be found playing around here once or twice a week.

The point I am trying to make is that they are bringing in a few DJs that don't get to come around much. But they still get lame one hour sets. And the rest of the time is filled in by local Skills DJs, which we can see several times a month if we wished.

With Deep Voices, OK I'll give them some credit...but should they have the prime headlining spot? Ummm, no. The talent being brought in from Europe for this big event should get the proper slots.

This isn't about who's the better producer.

In the end, this is typical of Skills. Even on their Ten15 nights. The headliners typically get 2 fricken hours...just because the rest of the night is carefully lined up with the rest of the Skills team. These are DJs who typically play at least 3-4 hours in other cities when they play the US...but are stuck to 2 hours because they get into the booth, play the 2 hours, and at the end the Skills DJ is crowding all around him not even giving him the choice to play longer if he wants.

MarcoV is gonna play for 2 1/2 hours, though...woooooooooohhhh, maybe they are slowly changing. Although 2 1/2 hours for Marco V is still bullshit, IMO.

I love Skills for the DJs they are bringing in. I give them props for that all around. It's just how they handle the nights from there with the booking times and the lame ass, disrespectful crowds.

Until they change the tactics with the set times (I can deal with the crowds, must say the crowd at Kyau-vs-Albert was nice for once), I will keep on stating my opinion. And trust me, I think I'm in the majority here (excluding Skills fanboys) who thinks the same thing here...

Skills has the potential to be so much bigger than they currently are (and I don't mean in normal attendance)...just need to work on a couple things, IMO.

The afterparties, on the other hand, will probably have age restrictions. Most 21+ Might be some 18+.
