I would do the same thing ,cause I dont have any vinyls, but if I were the judge, I would probably vote for the vinyl-playing DJ if his track selection was OK over the CD-R thing ... cause vinyls DEFINE the term Disc Jockey ... :tongue2 |

| Playing CDs or CDRs is great, were I a judge I'd give someone playing those no less credit than a vinyl DJ, however playing MP3s is a bit tacky for obvious reasons. |

calm down darling
i said you lost because you played an illegal mp3, which is extremely frowned upon, not because you used a CD deck.
and not everybody does it, those who do it are frowned upon within the industry, (check ronski speed and DJ precision).
do a search for L-Vee's and John Digweeds opinion on the matter as well.
in short, stop playing MP3's you twat, and you might win something ;) |

Personally az has a valid point
so what you lost...get over it and practice, practice, practice
my gosh we live in a imperfect world...deal with it. |

Blimey :eek:
All we need here is a pair of cassette players, drinks and remember that the only reason why we're here is because music is supposed to be fun, not something to argue about ;)
jamiepollock, all Az meant to say is that producers still need to paid their bills somehow - otherwise, what will DJ's play in the future? :p
edit: if you paid for it, why are you angry? :conf: |

I was at a friends house (which is kinda large) and we decided to play electronic music all night... |
Dammit man, why dont my mates decide to do that!!! They play sucky rock music at their parties ALLLLLL night long. If I say anything about changing to my music for a while, I get strung by the balls and shot in front of the Fuhrer at high noon. I dont dare have a party of my own, and I cant go clubbin often coz nobody will go wiv me!
Anyone else in the same boat here, or does EVERYONE have mates that like good music?
:)
EDIT: oh by the way, stop arguing kids. I think my sig says all (as usual). |

I know where your coming from in a way. A lot of my friends like trance, but not enough to spend the money to clubbing on it. Most of my friends like all sorts of genres, and I do to, so it aint that bad. But Id like to have more friends who wanted to clubbing on a regular basis, not seeing my fave DJ's sucks donkey willy. |

I've kinda learned to tolerate other kinds of music to save arguing, but yeah, donkey willy suckers all round hehe
:p
EDIT: You know, I got a mate who changed his name from Chris Norris, how freaky is that? And no, he don't like trance either - he's like "Westlife all the way!!" |

hehe, I'm not in wonderland, mate :) The fact is that I've always been a big fan of electronic music (since I was 10 y.o. actually), and I never hid it from people. In high school, for example, I used to mix chilled out trance CD's to listen during our way home, and since I was the only one in the bus who knew how to mix CD's, I would blend loads of top-40 tunes that people liked with trance anthems and, instead of using my discman, people would ask me to play it on the bus' CD player.
But no one of them actually liked raves...
Then, after high school I got these friends who usually listen to Rio Funk and top-40 stuff. They don't like uplifting trance (makes them sleepy), but I know that they liked drum'n'bass, because it's quite popular now here in Brazil. Therefore, I gave them what they wanted: drum'n'bass. I thank God the amp collapsed, because I believe they would get sick of drum'n'bass after one straight hour (in the end some people were already taking some fresh air outside), so I got back to what they were used to.
All you need to know is to please the crowd. Don't play techno to people who want to sleep nor play ambient for drunk bastards. If your friends like rock, play some big beat and other breakbeat genres for them - they'll hardly have something against it ;) |
