why would you expect, or want, that from any trance radio show? go listen to a downtempo, nu jazz, ambient, trip hop or even fucking ragtime radio show if thats what you want. |

what you're suggesting he does almost sounds like forcing variety for the sake of variety, which is pretty pointless and more likely to alienate than it would satisfy. and i'm aware the previous statement leads onto the issue of satisfying fans' tastes before his own, but given that he's a full-time professional DJ/producer i can't imagine his musical repetoire expands far beyond what he plays out & produces anyway!
i've just realised this is tonight & i'll be busy watching the champions league. poop ..i guess i'll have to grab it from a torrent at some point |
While I see where you're both coming from, you're missing the main point of my argument (though isoterra touched on it a bit).
My whole "beef" (for lack of a better word) with this is that there are already countless radio shows just like this. People playing the same styles of music out of their bedroom on various different internet radio stations. I can turn on Party 93.1, SenseGenerate, ETM or DI and hear someone from their bedroom doing a two hour show with their favorite tunes followed by a guest mix. Adding another identical show simply is not interesting in the least bit.
Sure, he's making his music more accessible to those who don't know where to download live sets. That's all good and well.
Philby, thank you for taking offense to my post. I do listen to a lot of that on my own time, actually. However, I wasn't necessarily saying that I would want him to play something like that. I was merely using it as an example that, "Hey, there are a lot of other options you could use to have a successful radio show that's different from the rest." Yet, he's not doing anything remotely interesting or new here.
That's pretty much all I'm going to say here...
