Wasn't it Armin @ the Docks last saturday who said that his TA-account was being activated? Very good text in my opinion.

All those other stupid overtaking voices (like the one from the House Negro in a lot of -sets make me feel sick.

'Clap your hands to the beat whazzzzzuuuupp whazzzzzuuuppp'

Shut the fuck up man.

There's one set in particular that is an absolute classic for this: Sander Kleinenberg Live @ Impulz 01/04/2001.

I forget the name of the track now (the lyrics go "no way out for you....") but it's a fairly famous prog tune with really nice vocals..... anyways, the vocals have just started, in the middle of a really beautiful part of a beautiful track, when this Dutch (I presume she's Dutch) woman, with an annoying, gruff voice shouts out for no reason:

"Sander KlenenBEEEEEERRRRRRGGGGG!"

Which, yes is quite annoying, yet bareable I guess. But she just does not fucking shut up. And I mean it's almost comical really, I fail to see how anyone could be anything other than pissed off by it. Here's how it goes:

Middle of beatiful vocals:

"Sander KlenenBEEEEEERRRRRRGGGGG!"

About 30-40 seconds later:

"Sander Kleinenberg......"

Then, slightly louder:

"Sander Kleinenbeeerrrrerg!

Beginning of build-up/lull (shouted):

"Listen to the sounds! The sounds of Sander KleinenBEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRERRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG! (the "berg" lasts for about 10 seconds, with the high volume maintained throughout)

Still in the build-up/lull (shouted):

"SANDER KLEINENBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!" (the "berg", while as loud - i.e. shouted - as the previous one this time lasts for about 15-20 seconds)

The lull finished during the last cry of "Sander Kleinenberg" and we are now on a beatiful climactic part of the track where the vocals and the music are hand in hand:

"SANDER KLEINENBEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGG!" (a shorter one this time, maybe 7-8 seconds)

Then:

"Listen to the sounds, listen the sounds, I said listen to the sounds, I said listen to the sounds of Sander KleinenBBEEEEEEEERRRRRGGGGG!"

Then:

"Listen to the sounds of DJ Sander Kleinenberg. I said listen to the sounds, sounds, sounds, sounds, sounds. (*brief pause.*) Listen to the sound."

Then (sang):

"Listen to the soouuuunds: the soooouuunnnddss of Kleinenbeeeerrrgg! Yeaya, heya, yeaya.....!"

Then: (after allowing people to listen to the music for fully ten seconds)

"I said listen to the sound, sound, sound. Sound, sound, sound. This is DJ Sander Kleinenbeeeerrrrrrggg!"

Then:

Come on! Wave your hands in the sky! Let me see that you like this DJ!"

Then:

Come on! Take to the groove and listen to the sound, sound, sound...... of DJ Sander KleinenBEEEERRRRRGGGGG!"


So, the long and short of it is, that that goes on for about 4 minutes - throughout an entire track basically. Even if all that dialogue was spread over a 6 hours set you'd be pretty pissed off, but incessant for nearly 5 minutes? A bit over the top methinks.

I suggest that you download this set - it only lasts for an hour - just to see what I mean. It's hard to express the shitheadedness of the MC in plain ASCII text.

I think part of what makes some livesets are the announcers.

I especially like the guy in the Club Eau livesets. Not too annoying, not too frequent with the interuptions, and he picks good points in the music.

LOL
