Hmmm, interesting argument, but lets be fair. TOTA's on general do appreciate and recognize the talents of our cities residents. Do we gush and rave about them all the time ? No, of course not, but then that's only natural. If you club regularly, then seeing Mark Oliver or Sean Miller or Evil P doesn't hold as much excitement as say, PVD or Adam Freeland or Preach (a resident from another city). Does this mean we think TO residents are any less talented ? Hell no. But if you seriously expect people to heap praise on their residents week in week out, then you're not looking for clubbers, you're looking for club/dj groupies.
I've read positive comments about almost every resident (and non resident) DJ in toronto. I don't think anyone forgets the contributions these talented individuals put in, week in, week out. That being said, when international DJ's are brought in, they do deserve to have the spotlight on them. The same way that i would expect Mark Oliver to have the spot light on him if he went to Montreal, or Deko-ze to have the spot light on him when he spins in BC.
Resident DJ's are the reason why clubs are successfull, because the crowd knows no matter who the guest DJ is, the regular will always throw down a set that is indicative of the clubs particular sound. That's why i don't think residents and guest dj's should mind having one another around, because in fact they both contribute to maintaining a healthy club atmosphere. Guests keep the scene fresh, and the residents on their toe's. Whereas the residents know their clubs crowd better and help setup the stage where the guest can step in and give the crowd something they haven't heard.
Both parts are vital, and both parts are appreciated by the knowledgable clubber.
