Dunno how you all feel about this, but for me, the art of DJing is being lost.
I hate being ripped off when i go to clubs.
It seems there are a lot of good producers who are making names for themselves as great producers, and then getting dj gigs because of their productions. The thing is, just because they can make a solid tune, it doesnt make them a good dj.
Guys back in the day, say like John Kelly, used to understand the importance of building a set, educatng, while entertaining etc etc.
But a lot of the new djs just sem to be wheeling out the latest hits with a couple of their own productions to give them their 'signature style' lol.
There are a few younger djs that do it, guys like your zabielas and your masiellos, but whatabout in trance? Some of the old guard do it a bit...but the younger breed of supastar seem to think its just playing ch00n after ch00n.
thoughts...

you mean...copying most of the other trance djs who play the same stuff?

trance is just in a rut...things only get worse before they get better. same thing is happening to hiphop right now
