Originally posted by stevësto i didnt hear any trainwrecks. a trainwreck used to be when beats completely clashed and sounds like crap. but to overly anal robotic beatmatching machines known as wannabe djs, a trainwreck means when the beats are slightly off for a moment and isn't perfect. normal clubgoers (human beings) dancing their ass off don't completely stop and walk off when they happen to hear beats not aligned scientifically perfect. other dj's and trainspotters and various other douches from the internet in the crowd will ignore the fact people are having a good time and instead harp on a non perfect beatmatched transition, shake their heads and be snobs. normal club goers don't do that, they're just having a good time. an amateur dj not respecting a pro dj because of not perfect beatmatching because they are holding them to a higher minimum standard of technical skills is silly when they cant entertain a crowd nearly as well. too much focus on something that doesn't need nearly as much attention as it does. ive said this before many times, peeps need to take off their judgement hats and put on their party hats. the best state of mind for appreciating what is good music is when you are the least judgemental. DT has always received tons of respect for his ability to work a floor. now suddenly because of his gay ass crappy personality in this letter, the focus shifts to anything that can be pointed out as bad in his set. amazing. wait, no is not, this is tranceaddict.

What exactly is your definition of a "wannabe DJ"? People who care about their craft and are bent on perfection? Does that mean anyone who tries at their job is a "wannabe (insert job here)"?

Also how are we all amateurs if we are getting paid to do it? There are obviously people out there who think we're doing something right.

Originally posted by Clovis As for the lame cheap shots on different TA DJs, thats pretty sad. Alot of these folks put alot, alot of effort into their mixes, into scouring the internet and other sources to find fresh, interesting music (as opposed to sitting on 20 promo lists till the next radioshow deadline), and they have recieved alot of support from people here on TA, rightly so.

just for the record i have not ever criticized your's or anyone else's mixes, to be honest i've never heard any of them

I wasn't specifically aiming that at you, I meant evereyone in this thread in general. Also for the record, I havn't touched Ableton in months and I've been using CDJs at gigs and at home since I bought them almost 2 years ago...

Originally posted by Clovis 1. People who don't really like DT much voicing their disgust at his latest ridiculous long-winded and pointless rant. 2. People who love DT no matter what comes out of his mouth and will badmouth any person who disagrees and call their DJ skills (if any) into question.

There are also the people who aren't familiar with anything more than his name, and are just reacting to these rants of his based on general expectations of DJs or any professionals.

Does the drink apply to me too?

edit // Stroke, sorry man I just don't dig him. I don't understand the hype behind him. The only thing I liked from him was his Back 2 Basics cd, that is an AWESOME compilation. But he's never impressed me live. Ever.

yes!!
