What are you, his official spokesperson?

It's true, Mark can be amazing sometimes (yeah, usually when opening for a guest DJ) but other then that, nothing special.

Mark Oliver never gets the respect he deserves and is incredibly under-rated.

He's playing the guv on a sat night, it has a sound, he's told to play it. During the guest dj nights, he's given more in the room of freedom to accustom his set. That's why some of you may prefer him on those nights. He's not a better dj on those nights, he's just playing his sound to the crowd. Which IMO makes him one of the best dj's out there.

Yep, that's true...

On regular nights he's a bit more commercial, and only seems to step it up a knotch on special events... and once in a blue moon. But still, he has the skill to play at the top level, and can do so whenever he wants to.

Set times sound good, and honestly what did everyone expect ? Can't have Ferry go before Holden, reason being the tempo of songs that he drop is just so much higher then anything that Holden has in his box. (although I would have loved Holden closing the night with "I have put out the Light" )

It would also have been nice to see Mr Hamel on the decks but i guess he is planning for that deep sea expedition ( or something equally ridiculous ). But i'm not going to complain. 3 out of 4 headliners works for me. Should be a good night, lets hope that all the above mentioned arrive in good spirits and rock the house to pieces...

Originally posted by Shaya007 Dear special K, I really don't think it's fair to slag Mark like that. you seem to have a habit of doing this. All I'm asking is for you to be aware of the fact that the night in question was advertised as "The Gift" (an oldies/anthems event) and most in attendance were expecting the majority of songs to be classics that night. Guvernment only holds these events once or twice a year (anniversary parties and NYE being the other occasions). Demand is very high for the classics and believe me Mark could do them more often. Since the new years I've had the pleasure to attend Guvernemnt every single week, and I know the majority of the music Mark plays is brand new. I take offence to the fact that someone who comes once in a blue moon for one of his extended sets would judge him in this fashion. If we add up the total hours that Mark plays at Guv't in a year, I would say about 8% of what Mark plays would be considered old. Remmember Mark has to play the odd anthem to keep the place busy week in, week out.

Ummmm no I stayed away from the week that was advertised as the classics night specifically for the reason that I knew it wasnt my thing. I went the week after, the last Saturday in December!

As for me having a habit of slagging Mark?! Can you please point me out to where I have "slagged" him in the past?! If you think that when I say that

*I like it more when he plays housier/proggier/djs in general that play that way*

is slagging him then YEA YOUR RIGHT IM SLAGGING HIM!!! I dont *think* I bashed him in anyway, nor do I think saying that I prefer if when he plays another way is bashing him either. If you or anyone else feels that, well then TOO BAD FOR YOU!

Also theres nothing wrong with playing older stuff, BUT SOME older stuff ie. that annoying epic shit doesnt do it for me AT ALL and I cant stand hearing it! Im not saying that he plays like that every week either, what I am saying is the last couple of times that I have gone it has been that way!

Exactly, sometimes I like his styles. Sometimes I dont. Big fucking deal. Whats so wrong in me saying that?!
