yeah, what he said :) and in tassie its so rare we get anyone worth seeing, its exciting. and as much as i love mixing, listening will always be my first love (its just so much easier! :D )
in my (very limited) experience, its normally the support acts that do it for me. most internationals ive seen are too genre-whorey for my liking ;)
+ the new tunes that i can look fwd to owning in several fvcking years when theyre released ;)
oh- and seeing the shuffle. nobody can shuffle at my house ;) |

Dr.P I like going to see an international to grasp an idea of how the music is taking shape in other places of the world, often when i see an international act i go for the experience of a large scale party and booming big room sounds! |
this is a worthwile post.
I hadn't thought of it that way.
thanks for all the cheap shots though |

in the prog scene its the internationals that have access to all the unreleased and unheard of promos that just knock your socks off. For instance John Digweed. He has access to so many unreleased tunes that you probably wont be able to get a hold of in the next year or that you may not even come across in your life.
That and of course the vibe that draws me to see international DJs - yeah face it the vibe is always better when an international DJ is playing |
meow thats what im talking bout |

let's face it. the internationals are the guys the locals wannabe.
if dj's were like chocolate, then the internationals would be the best tasting cadbury and the locals would be that cheap heritidge you buy for easter for 2 dollars for the cousins you don't get along with.
no offence of course to my budz, i'm a peice of cheap chocolate just like you all :). |

i disagree.
why are internationals better? they have a name that pulls a crowd, and a crowd is what makes the atmosphere we all enjoy. they get sent the newest tunes, well before release. does that make them better?? could your *average* clubber tell the diff between an unheard armin mix and a begic? i dont reckon. once youre an international, its plain sailing, you can do whatever you like and its no longer about how good you are. i mean, listen to tiesto ffs. its like anything, just coz youre the biggest doesnt make you the best. its easy to be a big name an ride on the work the warm up DJs have done on a night.
i love the atmosphere that the big names bring, but purely on a track by track basis, in my experience i almost always prefer the amateurs. |

agree totally.
I only pay the dollars for the atmosphere.
They don't mix any better than any local I've heard. (cept maybe JPL) |

so what ur saying is that ud prefer listening to someone with little experience and low skills to someone who has been djing for say 15 years all over the world to many different types of crowdz.
i do not inderstand that. |

originally, they couldve been the best there is. or they were reasonably talented at a time where not every man and his dog wanted to be a DJ. timing is important. maybe its coz theyve written some hot tunes. but being a producer doesnt mean youre a good DJ. or visa versa obviously.
but once youve harnessed that popularity its very hard to lose. you wouldnt even need to write another song again. youd just play the best demos you got sent for your label etc.
im not bagging internationals at all. they all started somewhere. but being #1 doesnt, in and of itself, mean youre the (imo). i reckon the crowds make the nights as much as the DJs do. people enjoy it becoz theyre seeing ****tiesto****, not necessarily coz they loved the way he was mixing on 5 decks at once, or even really liking the tnues he was playing ;) |
