Crowds in general die off a bit when a DJ isn't mixing up to par even if its not a conscious reaction. :D
and no... i was not on crack... never actually tried crack... is it that good or something? :eyes: |
maybe he was having a rough night, as that does happen to the best djs, however DJ mixing is soooooooooooooo important, and if a DJ cant mix perfect or at least very good, then it doesn't matter if the newbie retards get all excited about it. cause its the overall vibe that suffers.
DB is right mixing makes the DJ. Maybe a select few newbs had really good pills, so the mixing doesnt effect them, but everyone else would notice either conciously like lady bass and DB or subconsiouly like the 1000 people that didnt show up.
it takes alot to be a good DJ, not just playing the top 20 trance tracks of the year.
for the record: i didnt go, I wish i did - i love johan and I cant wait ot wemf to see him. and I'll keep my eye on his mixing.
by the looks of that track list, I wouldnt have been too impressed with the music. HOPEFULLY at WEMF he plays more rave style because its a rave. That clubby stuff is soundin a bit too common these days. |

I agree that all the system needed was a little tweaking. |

Good to see you too! Had also not been to the Docks for many years, it's quite nice inside, might become my new Friday hangout.
I agree they should've let him play longer, cutting off Just Be was poor form.
Send me those photos you took! :D
Looking forward to seeing Johan at WEMF too, I'm sure I'll see you there :)

Cool meeting everyone..
Awesome night.. they shuda had johan on the patio speakers too since I became addicted to that crazy ride :crazy: reminded me sorta of that video they used to show in schools back in the day with a guy on acid thinking he can fly and jumping off a tall building, and likehow drugs can make you do crazy things like actually work up the guts to go on a crazy muthain ride lol omg it was so fun.. n so was johan after they shut the ride down ;)
cant wait to see pics/vid:tongue2
ther was that one song i was surprised and quite happy to hear him play that i dont know the name of but the chorus goes "but my heart, it won't obey, it just won't do, without you, laa la laa la laaa la laa la la laaa la laa laaa laa laaa laa la laa la..." :tongue2
lookin 4ward to lisa lashes

there were a few times i was just like let the track play, no need for the equalizers...but there were also some really good breaks he did with it and he was always 100% on the beat everytime!!! many djs can't do that, they'll bring the equalizer back in and miss the beat and ruin the whole thing :whip: :whip: but johan has the skill when he does it! so i permit him to do it :tongue2 |
