I dunno where I come off sounding like 'a god' :conf:, but I notice it's always the same 2-3 people pulling that string. If I really thought that, I'd be all over "some" people here who can't even get over their beatmatching problems. Are you really that hurting for something to make fun of about me that you have to make such a big deal out of nothing... oh yeah, I forgot, it's the Australian way :toothless

read what you posted before again :p |

it really is just a case of what pkc said. the way you word things and post on TA does give you a perceived case of 'bigheadedness'. I have no doubt you're a nice guy (who plays too much SVD) as are most canadians, however how canadians are perceived by some is not always how they actually are. |
I still don't see how I come off bigheaded? Nowhere do I say this mix will be the best mix you ever hear, or that I demand respect because I'm a good dj. I just state the things that I feel I've had to overcome to be happy with my results. It's a case of self-expression, and it's your choice to ignore my own feelings towards it, or to put yourself in my place.
Personally, I don't like it when someone just puts out mixes and has no input or contribution to why a mix is special to them. I'll never listen to a mix if all I see is a tracklist. I wanna know about a mix and put myself in the place of the dj and feel what they feel. And I guess that's what's different about the compared scene's in Canada and Australia is. Back home it was easy to feel and feed off the energy of other dj's, passion and energy is what it's all about. Here... everyone and their grandmother wants to be a dj, and passion and energy gets lost in translation.
And yes, I love SVD!! Not all my mixes are mostly his tracks, and this one only has 3 (which ain't very much). SVD is a great producer and DJ, and yes, I've adopted a style close to his now. Check out my Sensory Overload mix.. I think 1 SVD remix in 14 tracks. I made Hectech because I bought all these records and I never get to listen to them... and now I can :) |

how ing good was that rubix cube bit in ronnie johns, phil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and mortyman personally i don't need to read an essay before i listen to a set, it should speak for itself.
Telling me you bled for this set, or that you took a dump before you did it are equally as unimportant, its all about the tracklist. |

Like I said, "personally" I like to read a bit about what I'm gonna hear, cause I may not know some, if any tracks. I didn't say I wanna read an essay :wtf:
And yes, you're right, it is mostly about the tracklist... at the same time... some dj's, like myself, won't play full tracks, or will fiddle around with effects, or always adjusting eq's. This can really make the tracks more powerful or less intense throughout an entire mix, which can inevitably suede the flow, making it more, or sometimes less, enjoyable to listen too.
DJ's use different methods of mixing and playing tracks, so it's not fair to judge a mix by it's tracklist, but how well the dj performs it. ;) |

^^ well, tbh mate, whether you think a track is a "stormer" or one of your fave mixes or where you think it "really takes effect" most of us dont give two s about.

i know what your saying mate, and seriously its partly an aussie thing, partly a TA forums thing. I sometimes gloat abotu how awesome i am, and download my mix and look at my international guests on my radio show.. its partly tounge in cheek, partly serious. Hence why im made fun of on here (also because im a real fcukwit) but if you can laugh at yourself then it invariably envokes respect and people will take on what you have to offer rather then resenting it...
havingt said all that, i listened to your mix, and i liked it but it wasnt my kinda thing.. and yes 3 tracks by the same artist in a mix is too much.. go search for lesser know tech tunes and therein lies the challenge...
all the best mate |

by telling us twice that you mixed it only in your headphones and it was the 2nd mix you recorded in a day makes it sound like you suffered to bring us this mix and we should all be greatful. that's how you sound bigheaded :) by looking at a tracklist and listening you can't put yourself in the place of the dj and feel what they feel? isn't that going to make more of a difference than reading a paragraph on their inspiration? what do you mean passion and energy are lost because everyone wants to be a dj? you sound like one of those jaded underground band lovers "oh they used to be good but now they're too mainstream"?? |
