nice posts mirka....

thankfully (I hope) that no one has anything against tazix personally...he is a super nice guy and so what if his track selection doesnt please the super freak tanceaddicts...lol..i'd like to think its all for fun.....

anyway if i'm in town i'll deff come see jds....i saw him at wemf 3 summers ago..he came on after john 00 fleming, just after the sun had rose in the morning and dropped the phatest beaks i had ever heard...just nutz to do that after a hard trance dj..i think everyone from all 6 other tents rushed over when they heard jds killing it!

never forget that set!

serge

ive met tazix
honestly, i dont like the guy, he has the whole "im a superstar dj i dont have to talk to you" kind of thing going, azim on the other hand is one hell of a guy

i try to support local artists as much as i can, but in no possible way i will come to see tazix play, even if i didnt have to pay, and got a ride to the club and back home

never the less, mirkas comments made alot of sense so i will be there on thurs to support mirka

good job buddy

I don't know any of them personally, and don't plan to .. ignorance is bliss!

Yah know I would come support but I wake up at 5:00am every morning during the week. And I just can't pull of the all nighter anymore.

Nothing personal against either Azim or Tazix, Mirka...I think they're just shitty DJs who don't deserve the high profiles they enjoy.

Oh, BTW...I for one am proud to support locals, I was there when you were supposed to battle Azim but I left before Azim got there, I guess.

LISTEN TO MY SHITTY TRACKS ON SOUNDCLOUD

Mirka, you've always been a great person. And you're right about a lot of the stuff you said. Also, Sean and you are both right, the scene here is brutal. There is just no roots for the music here, hardly any producers (there are some though.. I think Powerplant and Shiloh are both local, just to name two), etc. etc...

Anyways, before I put my foot any farther down my throat, i will make an effort to come down one time, but we all know i'm a lazy sack so I won't make any promises.. why make a promise that I might not be able to keep. I do still tune in to your show every week though whenever I'm home or have a radio nearby!

As for azim and tazix, maybe some people get a bit frustrated with their selections, others maybe great frustrated that they always play at every event they host (which is their perogative) (and I realize that they both don't play at every event, but usually at least one, and I'm not even sure if its both of them hosting or just one of them doing a lot of the promotional/hosting work). Sometimes they promote local talent, but they are the headliners, the last djs before the headliners at other shows, etc etc and I'm sure it frustrates some of the local djs who feel they have talent and something to contribute to the community but because of a lack of slots (clubs, clubs events, major events, anything) that it's difficult. I don't know, I have never met or heard them spin, so I try to watch what I say, and everything I just said about them now is just a guess (guesses) and should be treated so. I don't presume to assume anything, I'm just basing my thoughts off of what other people seem to say.

Maybe some people are getting tired of
HEADLINER
AZIM + TAXIZ
their friends
as the lineups. Again, just a guess. And if people lose respect for me speaking my mind here and being honest and trying to throw guesses out there, then that's up to them. Whatever (I have a rep. as a jerk anyways). If I'm totally wrong, someone tell me and enlighten me and make me a wiser human being =) (And i don't mean that sarcastically.. sometimes you never learn unless you ask or say things.. can't always learn by just watching).

i'll be there to support you mirka, although i don't think i've met you yet. see you tm and lets get tipsy!

greg you hit it on the money maker. I just have to keep my comments private as the post nazis watch me like hawks and I am censored.

This is the reason alot of dj's become promoters so that they get to play....I am playing the jds show here (9-10:30 and in calgary 11-12:30)
and I am happy. This tour was my idea, I made it happen and I am very honoured the Drunken Monkey crew have asked me to play and the actual slot before Darren........I feel as if I don't deserve it as I am not a breaks DJ, but also vindicated slightly because someone has faith in me.

Adam.............I know you were at the drink. Thank you

The rest of the TA maases.......(or Timo Maases )
I am human, I get pissed off, frustrated and angry. I guess I am a naive person who just wants everyone to get along and play nice.......

yes I'd love to play a twisted show and get booked because of my talent not because of inside connections....but that isn't the way it works. Politics aren't just for gov't officials.....they are happenning at a club/rave near you

*sigh* politics = drama and nowadays it seems so unavoidlable.

i remember back than when all the big productions/promoters did joint shows and everybody was united together. good ol'times...

i have respect for all the local DJs trying to show their talent to the world, even azim and tazix a little tiny bit

it is tough business to attract crowds to something that is of obscure nature to probably about 80% of the population (maybe more, maybe less, who knows). now that i've been in holland, i feel a tad spoiled because almost anywhere you go you get electronic music and it's big and popular. i think one day the scene can be as big in vancouver but we all need to work very hard for it and those who are working right now will be the forefathers of the scene in the future. i really think we ALL should make an effort to promote events and DJs, its almost our responisibility to do so being part of TA.

yes, i do dislike tazix and azim's DJing skills. i never had the chance to meet them, but i have seen them around and their behavior, and i dislike that also. they are arrogant assholes who can't spin and think they are gods. maybe once you get to know them outside the club scene they are nice guys, but honestly, they need to take Being a DJ 100, or at least tone down on their superiority complex


p.s. i have not attended many of the recent events for the distance related reasons
