Haha ok, let's start over. I forgot that most of you are probably French-Canadian or some other bastardized civilization so I'll take it slowly for the ESL students here.
In the English language a lot of words have multiple definitions (shocking right?). "Pro" being one of them, let's check a dictionary 
| quote: | pro
–adverb
1. in favor of a proposition, opinion, etc.
–noun
2. a proponent of an issue; a person who upholds the affirmative in a debate.
3. an argument, consideration, vote, etc., for something.
pro - adjective, noun, plural pros. Informal.
–adjective
1. professional.
–noun
2. professional.
3. the pros, the professional athletic leagues, as of football, baseball, or basketball: He's sure to be signed by the pros. |
When it's being used in the phrase "pros and cons" try to guess which definition it is 
In my earlier post I was being generous in saying that the only two pluses (pros remember?) were the Addy and Deadmau5 tracks, truth is I didn't even bother listening to them. I can just tell. Deadmau5 is a hack. I know he's one of those locals that made it big and you're all very proud of him, but let's face facts here...he made maybe one or two good tracks, Faxing Berlin got played by everyone and their mother and he blew up. Then he started to become a track making factory. Everything he's released in the past few months sounds exactly the same. Almost as if someone over at Native Instruments decided to make a Deadmau5ify plugin for Logic.
Now to the Beatport argument (my favorite one). That is in no way, shape or form relevant to dance music whatsoever. Just because someone's track made it to the Beatport top 10 doesn't mean shit. It means that a lot of people are willing to buy the newest, trendiest, poppiest (?) sounding house/trance/whatever they possibly can to be cool. They want gigs, they want to be popular and instead of doing it by their own merit they're buying top 10 tracks at Beatport. Sometimes a few good tracks make their way to the top 10, but again why would anyone want ot buy them? That just means that every bedroom dj and every club kid that saw Sasha while rolling their face off decided to get Ableton and now thinks they're a dj, are out there buying tracks. They're out there trying to dictate the scene and it's pathetic.
So what's the result? A CD like this. Generic, bland and trendy sounding house that people (like most of you in this thread) are willing to clamor over and drop $50 at the door of some super club to see someone like a Deadmau5 or like a Dubfire or like a Cedric Gervais when it's completely unwarranted. The guy that criticized this cd didn't like it, deal with it. Your music sucks Toronto.
Mr. Silva you're absolutely right, I take back my "who's who of douchebags in clubland" because outside of Deadmau5, Hatrias and MV these people probably haven't left Canada. My bad.
And me in my parent's basement, good one. That always makes the rounds...next one should be something along the lines of "let's see you do better".
