Originally posted by The Highroller I used to be the biggest Richie fanboy that ever lived (I've seen him play over 20 times in 5 different countries), but he hasn't done anything for me in the last 3 years (save one set at Guv on Canada Day in 2009). He used to play sets that would just floor you, but now I find his sets uninspiring and behind the curve. Nothing about his sets sound unique, except for that one tired looping effect that he continuously uses. He's the tiest0r of techno, and I feel like all he does is play watered down sets for the masses.

but is it the fact that your tastes changed or that he changed. how do you really know.

i mean, everyone on here was the biggest tiestor fan in 1999 and now he is the butt of jokes playing the same tunes.

what i want is the music to be directly downloaded to my brainzzzzz so i don't even have to listen to it at all. when is that coming?

lol, for me it's honestly the same actual songs. As the Rush Comes. Feel it rushing. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

it was a completely unnecessary statement on Richie's part. I'm glad he realized his error and I can respect his response to that facebook thread.

I will always prefer playing CDS and vinyl as the true art form when it comes to DJ'ing. There is something to be said about physically using a pitch slider to match two beats together while also thinking about keys, set-direction and potentially more than 2 decks.

That being said...it works for him, like it works for so many other DJ's. The only thing I ask is that they do something else with it. Too many laptop DJ's have become monotonous, boring and soul-less with their music and that really is the most frustrating thing of all.

EDM culture sure is conservative of its traditions!

I'm on Richie's side here. Looking into the future is way more interesting than dwelling on the past. I wouldn't begrudge someone their choice of medium, but I might also chuckle at all the hardships that must be endured and sacrifices that are made to project an image of authenticity.

Also, with reference to the raised eyebrow on the previous page, does anyone actually think that beatmatching is creative? Like he said, it's a skill, not a task with which you can express yourself artistically. I am not sure why people are so hung up on doing something the hard way when that time can be freed up for actual creative work.

A disc jockey, also known as DJ, is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience. Originally, "disc" (sometimes spelled "disk", although this is now uncommon) referred to phonograph records, not the later Compact Discs. Today, the term includes all forms of music playback, no matter the medium.


just in case you missed it
