Have you heard his radio show? some of the mixing is terrible, he seems to just wack the other tune right in and sometimes its not even beatmatched. Probably due to his lazyness but there is no excuse. Plus I did see him live on the weekend at Turnmills and he was on poor form.

lol, thats prob cos its a radio show - only the last 30 mins is mixed with a few mixes here and there....he doesn;t have to mix all the tunes you know...do u reckon u could do all that mixing while doing shoutouts, guest lists and hcatting all at the same time? no i didn;t think so..

easy!

well id love to tune in to your radio show sometime then!

The thread ended awhile ago. The Cut Up Boys are the ones who I was wanting to know about. And Judge Jules isnt that bad of a DJ. The more I hear him the more I like him. Plus, I think he is a great radio DJ.

He gets slated for being cheesey. But there's no doubt about it - if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have got in to dance music and spinning now. Nowadays I agree his sets are hit/miss, but overall I like him. But he is extremely hard working - it's not unusual for him to play 2 live sets in different cities on a Saturday night, on top of his radio show.

I wouldn't consider doing a 2 hour set twice on a friday night hard working. what does he do the rest of the week? and there are thousands of dj's out there (including me) that would give their right arm for a 'job' like his.

Doesnt mean you could do it any better than him though.

Well we're not talking gigs that are all in the same nightclub, or even the same city! Last weekend he was in London for his radio show from 7-9, then to Brighton (over an hour's drive away), then on to Bournemouth for slinky vs gkgg (about an 1.5/2 hours away). That's a fair bit more travelling and spinning than the average big name DJ does every Saturday and I would reckon he could probably earn enough to live doing much less gigs than he does, if he wanted to. He's getting on a bit, yet he's showing no signs of slowing up.

OK so his mixing and his track selection aren't exactly top notch 100% of the time, but there's not point in being jealous of him. Honestly, I think a lot of his success boils down to the his lively and uber-sociable personality, and only partly the music that he plays.

The bottom line is that I've got him to thank for getting me in to trance, so it doesn't really matter what you say or he does, I'll always be grateful for that (and I'm not the only one).
