Ive always considered GV to be on the outer edge of techno. When I think of house, I think of bumpin, funky house, or classic, vocal house...when I think of GV, I think of the show at KH in 2002 and the Dave Clarke remix of "la la land." Totally not the same thing!

I do think Hex is a talented remixer. But no, he's not underground.
(Spanish Guitar is f'en awesome. very sensual remix.)

Originally posted by ShAwZy Ok First off anyone who knows anything about that "list" will know it is a popularity contest and has nothing to do with any form of skill. Technically Dekoze DOES blow him out of the water, heck I probably do. Second about your list, HE WAS RANKED 217!! I am seriously surprised at how much credit you are giving him. Sorry, I guess I don't share the same taste in music as you and if you like him all the power to you. I have seen him and IMO he sucks. Have a good time.

Well why don't you admit that you don't like the genre of music he spins rather than saying he sucks? Honestly I hate what Digweed spins and the same goes for Tiesto...But I still think they're decent DJs. Anyone who can get a grammy has to be talented, and Dekoze can't produce. You gotta give GV respect as an artist. Though you might think his songs are cheesy or what not they're still extremely creative and genuine. Go to his website, watch his video...he deserves credit!!!!!!!!!

Originally posted by Kytracid Oh no, a grammy...then it must be good ! Deep Dish got a grammy as well, so did seal, but both those tracks were weak in my opinion...i form my opinions based on what I hear, not what i read. Guess that's the difference. Anyway, hope you enjoy the show. PS. I didn't want to start a flame war, cause my intention when posting in this thread was only to give my opinion based on my experiences. Don't take it so personally ( unless of course i'm actually talking to Green Velvet in disguise. ) Oh, and this 'dumbass' would also like to point out that Hex Hector won a grammy, but not for that garbage mashup of Sisqo's Thong song, but for "Feelin' So Good" J-Lo's highly overrated track...and the category was best remixer (non classical). Grammy awards given to guys from the EDM scene just shows you who is trying to cross over, and who isn't. Deep Dish, Hex Hector and recently Bill Hamel have won for tracks that had commercial appeal...if that's you cuppa tea, fine, but please, using that to support your claim that he's good is just weak... Got it ? Good. 2001 - Remixer of the Year, Non-Classical Hex Hector * Feelin' So Good (Hex Hector Club Mix) (Jennifer Lopez) (S) * Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche) (Hex Hector Radio Mix) (98¡) (S) * I Learned From The Best (HQ2 Club Mix) (Whitney Houston) (S) * I Turn To You (Hex Hector Radio Mix) (Melanie C) (T) * Music (HQ2 Radio Mix) (Madonna) (S) * Spanish Guitar (HQ2 Club Mix) (Toni Braxton) (T) Hex Hector, so underground, it makes me wanna cry....

Hex Hector got a bunch of grammies for artists he's worked with. What you call commercial bullshit is still what the majority of people out there listen to. You can't just say that one kind of music is better than another, you have to give all artists credit for doing what they're doing. I know tons of people who hate what I listen to, hate Carl Cox, hate Lawler and Picotto....

Well what about progressive house or tech house? GV is tech house in my opinion.

Cause I've seen him live, it has nothing to do with the Genre of music. Are you sleeping with this guy?

^^^ hahahaha

Originally posted by Mrs.Spice wow i'm always suprised to see that there aren't a lot of house addicts in here. green velvet is one of the best house djs out there.

that would be a disaster if he was even considered to be in the same category as other house masters

yeah seriously, get off his dick already !
I'm not saying one type of music is better then another. I'm expressing my opinion on which music i like. I didn't say GV sucks, i said i wouldn't go and see just him. Hex H and Junior V DO Suck. Bottom Line. I've seen both of them spin a bunch of time to know this, and i don't care where they place on a friggin popularity poll.

PS. Seems you get rubbed the wrong way when people don't agree with you, but i'm sure i've read at least a few posts where you bash DJ's...so quit moaning about it.

A majority of people also listen to Britney Spears and Justin Timberland, should i be giving credit to them as well ? If you run with the majority you're probably never going to be in danger of having your tastes questioned. Personally, i've never been a fan of 'sheep', so i'll form my own opinion on what i consider bullshit.

what does britney have to do with anything?

the majority of people doesnt listen to green velvet or electronic music for that matter.

being a producer that peaked in 94 and being on any list is awesome. look even rank 1 was bellow him. no dj on that list is bad. they can all spin better than the tens of thousands of bedroom djs and club djs around the world. and they can definately spin better than all of you. so theres no need to hate. GV is first and foremost a producer. who cares if he has bad sets sometimes (bad meaning you ppl dont like it). IMO hes awesome. who cares if hes a little cheesy or retro. so is above and beyond, so is rank 1, and for fuks sake, so is motherfuking g&d. so fuk of haters.

GV is in the same league as van helden and thats saying a lot. u guys can hate hate hate all u fuking want. bottom line is, the lists dont lie. tiesto IS number one since hes the only one who can draw a concert by himself like the way he did at gelredome. i like ferry a lot more but that doesnt mean that tiesto is not more in demand.
