That's all fine and dandy if you have the resources to attain those tracks, but as hard as it is to believe there ARE guys struggling to get their hands on new tracks. Why deny your crowd that one corker because a few frequency bands are lacking?
Sounds like the "haves" finding ways to look down on the "have nots". |
don't make the mistake of assuming that represent the "haves".
no one died and left me a bunch of money. my mom didn't buy me a xone v6 for xmas, i don't think my dad will hook up those cdj's for my birthday either.
i work for a living. i know what's it like to like to deal w/limited funds, and making compromises, and setting priorities.
other peoples struggles is not my problem, it's not the crowds problem either. why should it be? no one cares about me, or how i make mine anyways, because that's my problem. i do this for me, and me only. if poeple happen to like it, fine, if no one does, that's fine too. if i'm not happy with it then i'll do something else w/my time.
i'm saying that i wouldn't do it because i take what i do very seriously, no matter how casual the event is. i don't care about what the crowd can or can hear, or what the will or will not notice. i care about MY experience. playing a subpar file/vinyl would bother me to the point that it will negativaly impact MY experience, and take away from MY pleasure. being able to hear the difference bothers ME.
anyways, that quicksilver track from 1998 wasn't the only good song to come out in 1998, or in they last 8yrs. being flexible, and being able to adapt is part of being a dj. trust me, there's at least 1 song that came out w/in the past 10yrs that you can sub for the quicksilver song, and not leave the the crowd moaning and groaning about how much better your set would be if you played the quicksilver song, or you fucked the night/week/month or year by not playing that one quicksilver form 1998 on so and so records, remixed by who ever (not the remix by what ever, even tho it's more popular) -refer to discogs catalog #123456
i've been in the situation before too. i want to play a song, but the vinyl has seen one outdoor party to many is too crackly for me to present/enjoy. if i can't source another copy, then i play something else. so far i haven't seen any cry about me deviating from a setlist that only existed inside my head.
if you insist on playing it, go ahead be my guest.
