I dont't think this post turned out the way Majutsu wanted it too. It went from favorite DJ to Producers V.S. DJs and even went as far as Boycotting the DJs. LOL!LOL! That is hilarious!!! HAHAHAHA!

Originally posted by Ishkur Loving the DJ and loving the music is like Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle (ie: you can observe the particle's position or you can observe the particle's velocity. You can't observe both). There are moments for appreciating the DJ's worth and value. And there are moments for enjoying the music, but not the DJ. I love Z-trip for his skillset, his technique, and his "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to songcraft. But I don't worship the music he spins. Quite frankly, he plays a lot of really cheesy, leftfield pop tunes which I respect for having the brass ones to play them, but I don't ever enjoy them external from his set (I'm talking stuff like zydeco, country/western and polka). The problem specifically with trance music--although it is a problem in other scenes but not to any alarming extent that trance music has taken it--is that you've got these lines crossed, so that the DJ *IS* the music. Which is beyond audacious, it's absolutely insulting. It's like saying the New York Yankess *ARE* baseball. That the DJ is a reaplacement for your appreciation of music. Love the DJ. Love the music. Pick one.

I can tell your not a DJ because you've missed one huge peice of the puzzle here. Trackselection or programming. Not just "playing good tunes" but playing them at the right time. What you've described is the few dancers out there that still think the DJ is creating the music right there on the spot. They are not the majority. They are the extremely casual listeners that probably haven't bought a mix album ever and realized that the DJ spins other's tracks. No what most people appreciate in a DJ is quality programing. Not everyone is fully aware of this appreciation but anyone who appreciates a trance or even house DJ is most likely appreciating his trackselection above all. There are exceptions where the DJs technical skill is involved. But it is rare and always wares thin if the programing is not there.

Programing may seem like a non-skill to people without experience DJing but any DJ will tell you it's key. Two different DJs can spin the same set of tracks on different nights and one can kill the floor if the programming is there and the other can flop out if it's not. It's very simple and true.

So maybe these "DJ worshippers" actually realize that the DJ isn't making the tunes himself but they know he/she played the right combination of tunes in the right order so when that tune hits them right at the right moment after the right build and the right momentum, they know that's the DJ's fault.

Isn't that possible?
