Originally posted by Cosmic Fur And I remember one of Jon Jon favourite locked threads was a review party where someone dared to say they didn't like Addy's set.

Seriously, and I've said it once and will say it once again.. His set at The Docks totally killed my entire (amazing!) party weekend, and it takes a lot to do that and he did..

After hearing him a few times afterwards when he opened or closed for DJs, I concluded that skill wise he's very talented and daring - he keep fucking around with the mixer and kind of makes his own music really.. but that does not mean it's good, I think it's way too fast too, and his track selection is usually crap. Anyways he's not for me and like someone else mentioned he would never be the reason I'd go to a club, he would definitely be the reason I'd leave one.

IMO, we have WAY better local talent than Addy, but not to take anything away from him.

I know its a matter of personal opinion, which makes threads like this kind of pointless. One mans trash is another mans gold. We cant all agree on whos good and whos not. Too many vairables.

If you want MY opinon, Addy is just ok. My feelings are medium so to speak for him.


Who do I like you ask? IMO, Miss Blu, and Simon jain are amoung the best local DJ's Ive seen in a LONG fucking time based on technical skill, track selection, and the way they can take you on a journy through the night. When you combine all three of these catigories, and even if all three arent a high score individually, when brought together with a high average, that makes them top notch in my books.

my 2 cents

and based on the hundreds of sets played over his career (I am sure very few/select few people have even heard even 10% of them)

and bashing/trashing based on that ten percent is hardly fair nor lends credibility upon the person doing/talking the bashing/trashing

a review on the other hand is one set from a specific party (and that description of how it affected/related to you - for you that is real - true story)

this thread is too general for some of these statements made .....a shit show thread of controversy and bitterness can only become of these types of threads when people lose focus of the larger picture these DJ's try to envision or portray - growing pains and all

and this goes for any other DJ out there marking their territories - locally or globally

always so negative.....

Not WIKKID WIKKID

tell em shawn!

the first time i ever saw him was at film about a year and a half ago... and he fucked up, trainwrecked.. and i was the one talking shit about how much he sucked...and every time i saw him at the zone following that i didn't think he was too wicked either, but lately... he's been droppin bombs!!! every time i've seen him as of late he's been really good... and i'm quite the critic myself, good to see he doesn't play the same as everyone else too...

I go back to my analogy about making a movie...

When you use a camera to film something you have certain tools available to you, ie. zooming in and out, focusing, lighting changes, etc.

These things need to be used effectively otherwise the result will be jarring.

Think of someones home videos that you watch. When they are constantly moving around, zooming in and out to show the new christmas present you got, it can almost make you motion sick...

...then think of a professional movie. Sure there are zooms, cuts, and camera tricks done, sometimes even things done that are jarring, but they are used in a way that almost make you forget that you are watching a movie and not experiencing it yourself.

Here's my comparison. Addy is very good technically. But he is like a person making a home video who has all these new tools to play with. He's using the mixer to show you how good he is at using the mixer and has forgotten that it is more effective to use his tools in a way that blends all of his skills into an awesome sounding final product that has the person UNAWARE that the tricks are even being done(think digweed), instead of making you motion sick.

prolly the best analogy with a whole load of truth too.

excellent!
