Cool1g quote: Originally posted by bas From what I've heard of AM he's not doing anything special. Just another Aoki-esque DJ getting gigs and being famous because of his name. And because he was dating Nicole Ritchie. I knew I should have jumped on that boat :( he's better and way more well known than Aoki. the Nicole Ritchie thing didn't hurt that's for sure. you can't really compare AM and his ilk to the people we see at places like Giant/Avalon/King King/etc. they have totally different target markets. AM gets booked at places where its all about the party - they could really care less who djs as long as they play the hits. So i give AM some props for trying to work within that environment and do some unorthodox stuff instead of using Serato to beatmatch like most of the djs do nowadays at the hollywood/vegas clubs.

Actuallly I have eyewitness who has seen "mashup" DJs in Vegas play their music out of....itunes...in a playlist...and act like they are DJing. No one who is known though.

Clovis Not a fan of garbage electro much. CND quote: Originally posted by Clovis Not a fan of garbage electro much. I don't think I have ever heard this style before. Sounds like something I try to avoid. Guess I have done a pretty good job so far. What sucks is when people ask me what I like to do one of my canned responses is "I like to hear the DJ's play." That usually opens the "DJ AM/clone/Tiesto . . etc" avenue. Better just to keep my mouth shut. ;) Clovis quote: Originally posted by CND I don't think I have ever heard this style before.

I've never heard a track by them that was interesting or innovative to me. CND quote: Originally posted by Clovis Dirty South imo have been cashing in on a sound that was already done to death in 05. I've never heard a track by them that was interesting or innovative to me. Kinda figured. Not one to stereotype but that "Dirty South" image remindes me of a douche. Like somebody calling themselves "DJ Cali" or so. I could be wrong. Can't judge a book . . . right?? ;) Cool1g quote: Originally posted by CND Kinda figured.

HAHA I have seen this happen a few times as well, the guys sits behind the laptop while a cd is playing (or a set rip) :crazy: quote: Originally posted by Cool1g he's got some pretty good remixes IMO... Indeed he does. He has been blowing up recently too (gettting bigger and bigger), so i guess he will be cashing in on that 05 flavah for a while :tongue3 CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE Pages: 1 [2] 3
