Anyway, you really can't count local DJs. For one thing, the club isn't going to bother paying for opening and closing performers for a nobody, and locals also don't have to contend with traveling and jet lag. Also, not being in such high demand, they're always going to have to work longer hours to earn their paycheques. Marathon sets on a tour are unique; marathon sets for a local are your standard 8-hour clock punching like any other job, just at a different time of day. Not saying that none of the locals are any good, just that you can't compare.

Jesus christ shut up, is this really necessary? The thread is about marathon sets, so who cares who is spinning said set? I realize what you're getting at here but sweet blue blazing goddamn what a waste of words. It's one thing to chirp somebody about a post in their thread, it's another to belittle them for absolutely no reason.

You really need to tone down your stupid fuckhead elitist posting, I'm sure many others on here are also growing tired of it, even if nobody else will mention it.

I remember one time MO being told to "calm it down" as his opening set was too strong for the upcoming world DJ waiting his turn... LOL!

more like slowing it down...

but yeah, that happens more often than you think!

Stupid if you ask me, if they're getting paid that much, they might as well bring their "A" game

True enough Shaya! Personally I want a kick-ass set no matter who's up. If the next DJ up can't cut it and keep up to the last (no matter who they are), then fuck off and let someone on who can follow though!

It was probably because he was playing too hard for an opening set and the opening DJ was getting pissed off, and rightfully so. He probably wanted to build his set, and Mark was going to force him to start harder than he wanted to.

"Hard/fast" does not mean good. In fact, it means bad if you're an opening DJ IMO (in most cases).

grrr @ thread direction
