I went to see John in Los Angeles at a place called the Palace this Saturday (well technically Sunday since it started at 2AM). Before he went on, I got into the VIP area behind the main stage and met the guy. It wasnt hard spotting the spiky blond hair. I introduced myself and at first I was in a slight state of shock thinking here I am talking w/ this great DJ.
I had recorded the sample onto my IPAQ pocket PC before I left. The sample was clear and not distorted! So I asked him if he could do me a favor and identify a track he played at Club Eau at the specified date. This was funny...he took the pocket pc and placed the device next to his ear and listened. I thought he would know, but he stared at me blankly afterwards. He shook his head. I asked if he was sure, and he straight up said he plays so many venues and literally has thousands of records. He couldnt recall what that track was....at that moment...
That means its probably not a track he produced or remixed, b/c how could one forget that???
Well he did give me tips which I thought were helpful. I asked for some advice on making it and he said in his wonderful accent..."stay positive"...thanks John..that helps...
Finally I asked him for his personal email and at first he was going to give me his managers email, but then he gave me one he said HE checks everyday. He might be bullshitting, but I'll try emailing. Maybe he will remember at home or something.
Overall nice guy and his show rocked! Much harder than what I've heard from him before. |
Hey man, that was an amazing effort. Thanks for trying. Now all we can hope is for Mr. Gielen to check and return his mails..
