if he was up to par with his name then you would have decadence SOLD OUT in days to see moby...im just saying that not many ppl recognize and give him credit for who he really is thus he is UNDER-RATED for his actual accomplisments in the edm world
Decadance could be sold out too because people want something to do during the long weekend, or because of Dubfire, DJ Dan, Starkillers, etc.

also josh wink is very underrated sort off... but he is fking insane behind the decks, if you guys want to see skills behind the decks you have too see him live...

I agree - he is a great producer...always has been. But when people think about his music the first thing that pops in their heads are his melo electro funk songs and lets face it, most ppl dont want to hear that stuff at an event.
I'm not the one to judge his DJ'ing abilities/skills but from what vids I've seen on youtube when he's actually DJ'ing (rare) and his radio mix set - I was impressed. Was it the best set i've heard? Hell no, but compared to my recent opinion on his productions I didn't think he would be able to DJ worth shit. I was wrong, and there are many others who have changed their opinion recently from the various youtube vids/sets floating around.
We'll see what ppl say after the reviews I guesss!

Sorry I should've been more clear...obviously it wouldn't sell out JUST because of moby, but surely if more ppl recognized his DJing abilities too it would have a big impact on sales.
Plus I believe the high price weeds out some of the "clubbers" vs some of the "true fans".

i don't think so.
Pfft, that's only because the management has a firm belief that Guv's capacity approaches infinity.

Thanks for clarifying that, I've been fucked up over this forever. So many people have tried to tell me otherwise, eventually I just gave up arguing and started believing it.

No prob... I almost did the same, but then remembered Omid 16B was one third of S.O.S. (alongside Desyn, and Demi).
