The only reason you're saying this is because your happiness bubble has so far been burst a total of 2 times, and you feel it indicates some sort of board-wide trend. Hahah, it's so easy to say "I WAS JUST JOKING!!!!11" weeks later. I'm done with this thread. Once again, a bunch of other people have (and are) saying how much Aoki sucks, yet for some reason Bas is the big bad worst offender.

I have been on these boards for over a year now posting and viewing regularly and, from what I have seen, lots of people think Aoki sucks. However, within the context of this board, just as many people accuse you and your DJ partner of being assholes. I do actually think you are elitists and and treat people in a demeaning manner much of the time. However, I have also seen you both respond to logic, which makes you okay in my book. I'm just saying, both opinions seem to hold equal water on this board and that gives credence to both arguments. On a final note, saying your done with something just because someone is criticizing your behavior is akin to the cliche "Pick up your marbles and go home."

its definitely nice of giant to give complimentary admission for tomorrow night. With that being said, elitist or not, aoki is not looking to great from all the youtube vids out there

With the exception of scenster publications, the consensus off the board also seems to be that he blows dogs for quarters. I have never heard any of his stuff my self, i think that this thread will motivate me to do some digging and report back with an opinion

Giant is always fair. You think you can see these DJ's you see for $10 at Cinespace or Tentation for that amount anywhere else in the world?

Pretty terrible.

Originally posted by mar46017 "Take a picture, it will last longer." - PeeWee Herman I think there are some great mashup DJ's that are great and keep the crowd going. Switching through House, Hip Hop and Rock. David Rockwell Friday nights is a good example. I know I just said the H word and this forum has many die hard electro fans. Steve Aoki has been DJing for many years so I'm sure he at least knows how to match a beat. May not be a #1 choice for a die hard electro fan. I'm sure they will also be playing house in The Front rooms and in the patio. You can't hit a home run on every event. Every experienced promoter, club owner and DJ knows that.

I had this displeasure of seeing him open for Tiga a few months back at one of Traffic Events' parties. Needless to say there were about 10 people inside for Aoki and everyone else outside for Justin Sloe. Aoki CANNOT beatmatch to save his life. Which confuses the hell out of me, he uses Ableton...that pretty much takes care of the beatmatching

Hey there!
Don't blame me that one Mr. Nate!
