I think the problem with the scene in Toronto is the complete lack of creativity, almost entirely. There's a few (and I mean a FEW) DJ's out there right now that impress me, whereas most others just do the same thing. They play the same sound, same tunes, to the same mindless crowd. It blows me away how there's SO MUCH great music out there, and practically every DJ in Toronto feels compelled to play the same crowd-pleasing sound. The hard, hands-up-in-the-air house sound non-stop. It's getting to the point where I'm sick of partying because there's nothing new out there. |
it's been said countless times...but this sums it up nicely. +1 |

I think guys like Addy are better suited for the rap/hiphop scene. Guys who show off their skills and the performance becomes about their skills, not the music. He could play around with the mixer,scratch, dance, flip flop, stop the record all he wants at the rap parties without playing a single track and no one would care. |
Sorry but it's as much about the skills as it is about the music. If a DJ has all those effects at his disposal then by all means he (or she) should use them. The problem with most electronic music DJ's is that they think it's all about matching the beats of two songs and that's it. Which leads back to my original point that the crowd doesn't demand anything more than that, and this in turn, creates a plethora of sub-par DJ's who only go as far as mixing two tracks together and that's it. Things like key mixing, programming, moving the tempo up and down or even mixing up the rhythm of a set, seem like lost concepts nowadays. |

| Addy is pretty good. I think he is certainly better than GirlZone & Weak in my humble opinion. |

I'm personally not a big fan of M&S either. I know they have a huge T.O following but I've never really been wow'd by them. |

agreed, when he is on he is on, His hotel set about 2 months ago blew me away but at Labour of Love he blew big chunks. |
I don't really get the whole "when he's on...he's on"...so am i just supposed to hand over money hoping his set isn't a dryer full of boots like it was last time?...by this rational you can say that about anything...
yeah the leafs suck...but when they win, they win...so I like them
my car breaks down...but when it runs, it runs...so it's awesome
sometimes i have to leave a message after the beep...but when addy's on, he's on! |

M&S would be my second pick after addy
i think we're pretty lucky to have djs like that...sometimes i'd rather hear them on than any other int dj. |

Yea seriously...yet we have all these people claiming that he could be an international DJ. I don't think he'd get very far with that sort of inconsistency. |

| The bottom line is we might be giving too much credit to our locals, they are just average djs........every city has them, if not better :) |

i've seen manzone and strong play almost every single weekend for the past 2 years and honestly i have never heard any of them trainwreck ever, but i was drunk on many of those nights also
but seriously as dj's they are great, just because they dont produce music and are not famous outside the city or province doesnt mean they are ty. |
