long time no speak!

i still produce for fun primarily. I'd be wasting my time otherwise. i think everyone does it for fun its just that not everyone is capable of making a hit worthy record. the problem these days is that labels will sign anything. there have always been producers who make bad music, but back in the day their music wasnt signed which is why the industry was more healthy and the majority of music getting released was good. gone are those days. but that's beside the point.

i think this topic has drifted enough. i for one have said all i want to say. if anyone dissagrees with me or wants to send me a verbal bitchslap then pm me.

It was fun back 2 years ago.

When you? mike foyle, Endre, Jhon oc, Elude, MK-S, E2NT and so many more that posted tracks on the boards.

However as time passes, we get old, our ways change, our thinking changes etc.

After 3 damn years i finally reached some level in producing. I remember when i just started and when i Heard Elude - Purgatory or Endre - Novelty Pioneers, i thought YA this is what i wanne achieve.

once you'r there, and a label picks you up your just gone. It happend to most of us and it's something you just can't denie.

Once you signed that contract, you wanne sign more and thats just human. And yes some producer produce even if it's generic and boring but lets face it..besides fun it's also the vinyl that counts and the air time your track gets and the name you build.

The word fun dissapears once you reached the next level.

well hopefully some new record label will read all this and set up a label worthy only of the most creative and professionally produced tracks to take on all the shit out there.

To some extent yes...I can see what directin he's coming from though

ive seen a few of these kind of asot branded trance dj's play..im not gunna name names, but this is exactly what dissapoints me everytime i see em live -- wow i can play this awesome unheard of, totally key mixed, seamless trance that sounds like just about everyone else.

Then there is no skill in this, but real djing, the kind you have to learn if you havent produced tracks first and just want to be known as a wikkid dj before (if ever) you produce..then that takes skill.

Originally posted by RebeL9 actually Ory got a point. if you look at the todays "uprising" trance stars that are discovered on ASOT they all seem to follow the same pattern. They are all young guys sitting with a downloaded (well most of) version of Reason and producing tracks in their bedrooms. Their main aim is to get on ASOT and get whored there. That is still OK for some reason. But then when the artist becomes popular among the ASOT whores he suddenly have to start DJing. For example Envio, Filo & Peri etc. Just because you can make a good production doesnt automaticly make you a good dj. And then the clubowners book these "uprising" stars and prints largely on the label "ENVIO". Though no one have ever heard Envio dj before they rate him high as hell just because he had one tune on ASOT which was popular. This is really really cheap. Note Envio is just an example. There are loads of other producers which did the same.

I agree with you all the way on this one.Must of the tracks on the are only big names most of the time.I think ASOT should only be on once a month.

no im not. to be a good dj takes skill. to be a dj does not. you are a knobber if you think it takes skill to spin a few tracks. which is what most djs do.
