Why is it that most people, djs and clubbers, are so obsessed with hearing new tracks all the time? If a DJ plays something old, people start throwing hissy fits. Now, obviously, there's a line to be drawn. When Ferry drops Punk this weekend (Who thinks he won't?), that's dumb. He's never even stopped playing it. For 3+ years he's been playing that. That's silly. However... if Ferry were to drop, say... Dance Valley Theme 2001, I would go bonkers. More DJs should play tunes like that. Not the overplayed old shit like Gouryella... and Xpander... and stuff you still see on "Trance vol 32: mixed by Louie Devito." Stuff like Flutlicht - Icarus... If I heard that in a club, mannnnnn... I just don't get it. Oh well... I think this is the first thread I've started on TA in over 2 years. |
lol, Icarus is kind if a gay song. But on topic, I know what you mean. I kind of disagree though. When these big DJs drop older more classic songs, everyone in the club goes nuts. The people who throw hissy fits about an older song being played are the bedroom djs or message board know-it-alls who go to clubs to jugde these big named guys.

I know what you mean, there are tons of tracks that I never got to hear in a club/didn't grow tired of (Trancesetters "The Search", CRW "I Feel Love", Dance 2 Trance "Power of American Natives" to name a few ), that I would love to hear today. However, I think that us "veterans" constitute a very small fraction of todays clubgoing crowd. Last weekend when Picotto dropped Pulsar and Lizard at Crobar, I was exhilarated beyond belief, but couldn't help but notice that I was pretty much the only one in my part of the dance floor, and I would suspect that the situation would have been worse had he played a classic he didn't produce himself (say, Tiesto's "Sparkles"). So, if you are aspiring to be a big-name DJ, and want to draw big crowds, going with the new music seems to be the solid approach.
