yeah i made a post pretty much to this effect in the COR thread too.
tho there does seem to be two arguements going on here. one about what dave has done and others just looking at the situation objectively and saying that its ridiculous for some idiots making jokes to have managed to get rid of a producer from posting.
two very valid arguments but they are being confused. |

Give TA back to the trance Fans! |
Dude, I listen to trance the most, and have been a huge fan for almost a decade, and I own G&D records, and if they release music I like, regardless of what I think of Dave, I'll buy it... because I LIKE IT.
Being arrogant is one thing, but if he were the head of a child slavery ring or somesuch, THEN I'd boycott his music.
| quote: | | Honestly this is sad. First we start to piss off 2 producers.... who is next. Pretty soon tranceaddict will be a name synonymous music haters and flamers. It's been nice going to clubs and if you get a chance to see and talk to the DJ say something that you are with a group from TA here. How many of the blokes that bitch actually go out to the clubs and actually buy music (vs sitting at home downloading all with an elitist attitude). This is probably the start of a downward spiral... especially with the way word of mouth works in this world. |
I've met many many djs the past 2 years, and almost all of them have been sound and really nice people.
That doesnt quite excuse those who are not.
| quote: | | TA has been on a downward spiral for a long time. The jokes involving Dave, Carl Cox and a couple others have been beyond retarded and over-done as . Having said that, dj/producers aren't gods we should idolatrise, by only reserving "nice" comments to them. Especially when one dislikes their music and their attitude. If they can't take a bit of criticism well.. too bad. |
Coxy is British, ergo has a good sense of humour most likely, he would/could/can see that those jokes are in no way actually vindictive towards him.
| quote: | | producers have a responsibility on themselves not to be s.... if they're complete jerks, then everyone will know, and they won't buy his/her music. |
Wrongo there bud, a really really small percentage of clubbers actually meet djs, let alone producers. How would any of them find out if someone was being an ass?
In fact, I doubt even 0.005% of people interested in EDM are even aware of these particular happenings.
| quote: | | he'd help out with the tracklistings of his and g&d sets if he saw peeps couldn't complete them; he shared/leaked unofficial remixes and productions; he provided a lot of interesting behind-the-scenes info and he generally seemed like a chill guy -- sucks if he's bounced permanently. |
Show me how any of those things are anything more than self promotion? |

i aint no schadenfreude. dave dresden for starters is no schadenfreude. if he becomes a schadenfreude he mite keep posting to get some publicity, to fight his misfortune. that day is too far off..
but i agree with you, schadenfreude ppl should not post in this site and i hope your triple post gets rid of all teh schadenfreudes. |

As a British-born DJ, Carl Cox comes at house music from a much more acid-influenced perspective than do the American DJs who forged the genre and still epitomize it. Acid is a hard-edged, non-melodic, distortionist style with scant use for vocals, and it plays not well at all with the fans of bodily adornment, Latin rhythms, and plush dark beats who make American house music such a tangible nighttime treat.

well, a reason that i dont post very frequently anymore on this forum is because of all the bull going on.
many older TA's who listened to stuff like cj stone and rank 1 couple years ago now bashes the newbies who worship tiesto and a&b. talk about hypocrites. :stongue: just read posts from, say, 2002 by most users. sometimes it's hard to believe its the same guys.
everyone has been a newbie once, but most people here seem to pretend to be oh so oldschool, which i find really pathetic. lots of people here use knowledge more as a weapon to put down newbies, than to actually share it to "educate" them.
ofcourse some new people seem to be absolutely retards as well. take your time and read, search, gather information before you make your posts. no one gives a if you think andy moor or armin is the best dj in the world.
oh, and get rid of the COR. :happy2: |

What I dont get is how some people seem to be on a holy crusade from the gods of music to preach to the heathens.
It's like "You taste's are different to mine, so you are wrong" which is a load of bollocks, as people should listen to whatever they like. |

I knew this would happen, and what's sad is that 80% of the posts in here are exactly what he was talking about :rolleyes: |
how bout sadly 100% of his post demonstrates exactly what the COR whores have been saying all along? the guy needs to get over... himself.
great productions from G&D no doubt, but having a whinge on an internet forum and posting "special i'm leaving" messages?
el oh el.
well you guys now know his screen name, why not add him to your contact list and feel all giddly coz you've got a high profile producer on your list, and them msg him to feed his ego even more? |
