Originally posted by excite331 Yes, but I haven't listened to any of his sets I don't think - and I've listened to a LOT of sets over the years! I'm trying this Danny Howells Meccico set as recommended in the other thread - I'll have a listen. Understandably it may not represent him at anything like his finest. I have nothing against talent and good music - I've just had a few bevvies and felt like throwing an opinion around with colourful descriptions As always everything brings something to somebody. Something good for many is good for me, even if I don't enjoy it. I throw opinion around for the sake of it - it's just something to do. Honestly I think electronic music, as it is SET - is open for anything now. That's a whole 'nother thing however. Hopefully I will enjoy this. I get the impression, personally, that the convential back-to-back track DJ is not ever, really, going to excite me. I need MORE. It'd be hard for me to engage into much of anything that follow this convention.

I understand. The thing with Danny, is he continuously keeps things fresh, playing old and new, the best of both, and putting it all together in flawless marathon sets that go on for 9+ hours. You can talk about the state of EDM all you want, bottom line is, there is always good music out there, you just have to find it, and DJ's today are sitting on 20 years of great dance music, yet they seem bent on only playing what came out within the last 3 months. Theres wayyyy too much good music out there for it to be used an excuse for a poor set...

Trust me, if you saw Rob (and I know you already posted that you had fun Rob) and the smile on his face all weekend, you would understand

don't get me wrong, sasha has not lived up to his name in a long time, but....I don't expect him to every night or every time I see him. I would really like YOU to drop epic or sick sets every week or even more frequent while you are launching a label, working on music. I understand that Sasha is not the greatest or whatever you want to call him anymore but hey, your dj as well right? I would like to hear something from you that you would deem acceptable and let us critique on it. That would only be fair right?

So fucking true. It seems like so many Dj's just play stuff because it's new, not because it's actually a good track.

He almost made it to the DJ MAG top 200 last year, he knows what he's talking about

Oh wait... aren't we the ones that bash DJs when they play something old, and they're sets arent filled with IDs? The ammount of hypocrites on this board is insane.

I've got nothing against a dj playing old tracks, as long as they don't play the same ones in every set. I see where you're coming from but there's a difference.

all i am trying to say is that people on here are insanely over critical. that's all. shame on me for thinking so.

Ok then, lets tell all the artists to stop producing because we want DJs to spin stuff from the last 20 years. Give me a fucking break.
