Originally posted by Ishkur Apparently you don't, since you completely miss the point of what I'm talking about each and every time......it seems I need to repeat myself because slow people like you have trouble grasping such concepts. Like, for instance, this. There's no hypocrisy here. Loving the DJ and loving the music is like Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle (ie: you can observe the particle's position or you can observe the particle's velocity. You can't observe both). There are moments for appreciating the DJ's worth and value. And there are moments for enjoying the music, but not the DJ. I love Z-trip for his skillset, his technique, and his "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to songcraft. But I don't worship the music he spins. Quite frankly, he plays a lot of really cheesy, leftfield pop tunes which I respect for having the brass ones to play them, but I don't ever enjoy them external from his set (I'm talking stuff like zydeco, country/western and polka). The problem specifically with trance music--although it is a problem in other scenes but not to any alarming extent that trance music has taken it--is that you've got these lines crossed, so that the DJ *IS* the music. Which is beyond audacious, it's absolutely insulting. It's like saying the New York Yankess *ARE* baseball. That the DJ is a reaplacement for your appreciation of music. Love the DJ. Love the music. Pick one.

i don't have a problem with grasping your simple overused concepts. It dosen't take an MBA to understand what you're constantly saying. My point is its getting old and thats all your little mind talks about, but i guess your life isn't so extensive, so i understand why you talk about the same shit over and over again. Get out more and live a little.

As for trance, i don't listen to it so i don't care if its gone down the shithole, therefore your views on music are completely worthless to me. Secondly, i choose to love both, i don't have to pick one, why limit my night out experience when i have both my sight and hearing senses working. Obviously i will enjoy DJs that play the music that i like. When a DJ i like plays somewhere, i'll go see him because i know he'll play music i like (no shit right?). DJs and music go hand by hand, like wine and cheese, why just love one when you can love both? Don't be so small-minded.

But you can go ahead and just pick one, have fun with that.

nah dude, it's just pretty pathetic of him to not be able to get over himself and his worn out remarks. Someone has to say it, and judging by this thread a lot of people agree.

Im no DJ worshipper. But i must admit the tunes Tiesto and Jon O'Bir are playing (especially Bir) are right up my street just now. They are probably the only DJ's ive went to see in the last couple of years who are playing new tunes in every set more or less. Oh and yeh their tracklists are different from "every other trance DJ out there".

Ishkur you are an idiot. Unlike you, when the rest of us go out clubbing (do you even go clubbing?) we enjoy seeing certain DJ's cause they play tunes we like. We enjoy the night because of this. So then if someone says to me "What was X DJ like," I say "Yeah really good, really enjoyed his set." I appreciate the producers for the music they've made and I appreciate the DJ for playing these tunes in a decent structured set, and giving a charismatic performance whilst doing so which all adds to the night. So I enjoy music and DJ. As mentioned before, they go hand in hand.

I've only been posting on this forum for a week or two and already you stand out as talking bollocks all the time.

Originally posted by chrisxanthus Donald Glaude is probrably my favorite DJ if I had to pick one. Other favorites of mine are Christopher Lawrence, Chris Liberator, Mark EG, Misstress Barbara, DRC, Johan Gielen, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, and Yves Deruyter. I think all these DJs are capable of amazing sets and I have no problem going way out of my way to go hear them.

hi chrisxandus that Donald Gaude was the shizznit. Got him at miami music fest etc and listened. Dayumn. Any more recs like that?

Erol Alkan. Consistent brilliance and resourcefulness in digging out gems new and old and mashing together some unlikely bedfellows in total harmony.

Ishkur, I would like to see your points of view apply to the warehouse-style tech house raves we go to. I have followed this topic with interest and find your arguements weak in regard to worship. It seems you are pissed with the shitty culture of the Top 100 DJ poll being packed with producers and shit DJs like PvD and Tiesto who people know and feel safe with. Three words of advice...

Get.Over.It.

chris liberator
joof
gayle san
logic bomb
ben katana ( local dj )

basically djs who play the music i like and the way i like.
