I think youve all misread what i tried to communicate. I did not intend to say that digweed and digweed only sucks because he plays other people's music. My meaning was that theres only so much respect and admiration one could deserve for playing recorded music which is the essence of being a dj. A DJ is notas good as a live musician in any way, which is why a great deal more 'respect and admiration' should go to guys like trentemoller, Skazi, or pendulum, who really are pushing the envelope and moving edm in a really progressive and forward thinking direction, than the glorified cd players like digweed, buuren, tiesto etc. To be fair, my statements have been rather crude and poorly structured, and I guess I owe a quarter of an apology. To answer the question of how is a dj supposed to make a party better...? The answer is in a carl cox or halliwell or zabiela (and don't shit on me because digweed supports zabiela, I know this, it doesnt make him the same dj) set, the way i see it, these guys do not take themselves too seriously and the energy they exude has a very tangible and positive effect on the feeling and motion of the crowd. I'd be happy to share more of my unqualified opinions but I can only take being called a moron and a douchebag so many times. |
bottom line is. they all play other people's songs. every DJ has his/her own style. Some exude energy...excitment...and crazy booth antics. Some just stand there drink there beer, and concentrate on what they are doing. Both types are doing the same thing- entertaining their audience.
Everyone has their own style.
You don't like John Digweed's style. It is not accepted by all.
Moral of the story. Stick to what you enjoy most and then your parties will be memorable.
And try to refrain from throwing objects at the entertainer.... leave the party if you don't like it.
I'm done.
