john fleming is a legend and a brilliant dj. i respect that he's prepared to speak honestly about how he feels.

love his line about the lie detector test, would love to see the look on most of the top 20 djs if they had one strapped on and were asked about the top 100

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J I think J00F's problem is he seems to be unwilling to play smaller clubs and crowds, where there would be more control over things. By insisting on playing big room venues he's being lumped in with big room trance jocks who can't warm up for shit. In his blog entry that Existo copy-pasta'd the other day, he was banging on about the lack of superclubs catering for specialist crowds. That's your problem right there, J00Fy. Take a pay cut and play smaller venues and you'll get specialist crowds. Play bigger clubs and you get the lowest common denominator, because it's where the profit is.

they have actually been looking at smaller, more intimate venues for nearly the last 12 months, he played here last year in tasmania, i don't think that many touring dj's play there at all

that's one of the reasons he left his former booking agency and set up one himself. His previous agency only booked him the (biggest)events for the highest prices. He "never" played smaller venues as they couldn't pay the price he could get on bigger venues.
