5am teary moment for me-
doing a vs closing set with Pana @ altitude and having security threaten us with bodily harm to stop the music, lights were on and all.
And maybe that first ever main set @ r00m in June 2003.
or maybe the good friday night last year.
or maybe seeing JulesSLeeze up in lasers, then looking up to the console and seeing m, ben and co pissing themselves.
or maybe the first 5am, PLaying open with Adam Holden, falling in love with PLaying out, and pretty much falling in love with adam :p
okay im coming. |
let's not forget the time that the headphone jack broke and Julian Reynolds had to play vs sample gee by ear |

Easy now big G :D
I would like to think that every 5am dj (or other self respecting dj) has the musical resources and critical faculties to cater for any timeslot which the are called upon to play, and that they would play music appropriate for it. Personally, I find it probably THE most challenging thing to pick tunes to start the night with, which ease people into the trance sound building energy with a steady progression, and showing appropriate restraint before handing over with the room rockin. It really hurts my head to do it, but benefits my dj'ing alot more that sliding in exactly at my preferred tempo/style slot.
You object to hearing 141 anthems at 10pm quite rightly because you want to be gently introduced to the theme sound of the night, not bludgeoned with it, and punters possibly even without realising it need that too.
I do agree that some dj's are better equipped to play earlier slots given the style they most prefer playing, but maybe in that case, those less equipped should be given the challenge? dunno - just throwing some thoughts around.
When you think on a Global basis (which I would hope we all are) 5am dj's are quite little fish in a big pond, and adaptability is and important (imperative?) attribute.
I'd like this idea to be discussed - I'm really interested... or maybe it's for another thread?!? :D :D :D |

;)
on the first issue, i'm not doubting anyone's ability in whichever timeslots, i just think that it's time that scotty be given the chance to play at main slot. to be honest, putting him in the opening slot AGAIN after almost a year with 5am is ing ridiculous, imo.
i mean seriously man, i don't mind having pana on the main slot, but don't you think that it's only fair that everyone was given a go at mainslot? it would be great, but something new for this 2nd b'day would be a good direction towards making 5am better? because i've been asked on a few different occasion the following question:
"Is 5am going downhill?"
some of them said the attendance has been suck, barber adagio does nothing for them anymore, why wasn't steve playing at new horizons but pana was.. that sort of stuff..
to which i reply i have absolutely no ing idea since i don't promote for 5am nor do i care about the whole ing scene politics. im jaded enough already.
now, onto the subject of 'playing anthems at 10pm' :p haha.. i must say that after seeing DJ B's performance on two different occasion, i'm quite sceptical about his ability to construct a set which flows well. all i hear at new horizons 2 was ing anthems, all the way. now i won't say that he'll REALLY play anthems at 10pm. i'm just being sarcastic. however, if he do play his set progression well, i'll take back what i said, but until then, no enthusiasm.

quite possibly new thread time, however.. most definately a very challenging role, however still on the same importance as the key timeslot to maintain the crowds rockingness... most imperiative that masstif tunes arent played early as it will 'putting it in sexual conotations' preejaculate the crowd too early.... the early dj's are the ones who usually do the hard work (e.g schmooze the lady, buy them the drinks.. say the right words, get the attraction happening, and get the physical stuff started), whilst the people later on in the night are the ones who get the banging into full swing :rolleyes:
either way, i think all dj's on here, whether they play prog/melodic prog/trance or whatever, would love th have that opportunity, of being in prime slot, rocking the crowd with their own chosen genre, however sometimes this just isnt possible, so adaptibility is key if longevity is to be maintained.
i hope that made some sense |
