Special K, I wouldn't even to begin to correct you or prove you wrong about your opinion on what you have just stated. You are have every right to voice your opinion on "if you call yourself a legend (or King...)" The thing is I didn't mention he calls himself "The King". And as far as I'm concerned I don't believe anyone else has ever stated "he calls himself the King". He eventually was titled with this by other people's opinion on him and his contributions towards the so called "Afterhours Scene" in the city. IF the promotors or owners or whoever signs the cheques wants to utilize this means of "Promoting", I believe they can and will.
And to Xavier, this issue was never intended to try and sway or change the 20 or so people's opinions on who they like and dislike. They will always have their opinions about Dj's in the industry and respectfully I wouldn't want to change that. |

Are you a KID??...?
Who were you actually trying to fool with your "save face" reasoning or "don't know " justification behind the proper usage of a promoter's usage of a promoting slogan "King of Afterhours"?
First, you offer your personal opinion on the finer points of proper promoting etiquette. I mean, since you seem to nominate yourself as a representative of the legendary acclaimed, longest running "AFTERHOURS" then I can't really fault you for that. But you followed that up with a presentation of the DO NOT'S of presumption with an example sinario in order not to confuse the "NEWBS" into misrepresentation, backing it up with your GUARANTEE for assurance, that the "THE KING OF AFTERHOURS" is really The King Of Afterhours. But just to make sure "THE KING OF AFTERHOURS" is really The King Of Afterhours, you lay down a challenge for him to go toe to toe with someone whom you think is "THE KING OF AFTERHOURS".
I have to start by clarifying the promotional method being administered is justified by the length of service Addy put into the so-called "THE AFTERHOURS CLUB" is a year shy of how long "THE AFTERHOURS CLUB" has actually been open which is roughly 10 years. Hence, the 10 Year Anniversary just celebrated last May of 2007. And to answer your discrediting ploy the go head to head with Dekoze, he actually already one up'd you on that idea. You see, not only is Addy label "THE KING OF AFTERHOURS" he is the brains behind the idea, at your "AFTERHOURS CLUB" of utilizing the concept of Dj's playing on Four Decks approximately 6 years ago. Several Dj's at the time, were new to this ability or has been able to perform this concept found it very challenging yet very enjoyable. And Dekoze was one of the many Dj's who was lucky enough to be able to do it with Addy. The other Dj's who mastered this technic with Addy are all at THE BASEMENT now. You know, you were there last week... |
never has one been raped so badly..
I guess I am a kid. I didn't know 'the king of afterhours' was a quote that everyone used to reference him.
thanks for the history lesson |

Music aside i've never cared for his music and probably never will but alot of people in the city do like hearing him play so good for him. Also at the end of the day he can promote his name and his parties anyway he wants too!
But if you ask me ... (and anyone is more than welcome to disagree with me on this, you can have your opinion and ill have mine) ...
I have always been of the opinion that if you call yourself a legend (or King of whatever), then you are not a legend. I don't really care who you are and what you have done. If you really are a legend your name speaks for itself and you dont call yourself "King of bla bla bla". From a random clubbers standpoint it sounds like hes making himself out to be so much better than any other DJ that plays in the city (which is laughable). That might not be his intention and I may be misinterpreting it, but when I see something like that it's what springs to mind. And that's why I think it's lame and tacky.
To further this, there are two DJS coming to play the Kool Haus next month who probably have every right to call themself legends or kings of whatever and yet I dont think either one of them have or would ever do that. Nor do I ever think either of them would call themselves the best djs or the best dj duo in the world. Can anyone picture a flyer with "the best DJ from Canada" besides Richie Hawtines name. Or "King of all NYC DJS" besides Danny Tenaglia's name or "The Godfather of German Techno" besides Sven Vath's name. |
Who the are you to assume that Addy calls himself the King of anything???
He would never utter those words...to anyone...ever...
If that was on a bill...then whoever designed the flyer put that label in as a show of respect for someone who truly deserves it....
It was ABSOLUTELY Addy who is the reason the early sunday is the way it is... |

i understand that but it what really bugs me is that was supposed to be a roll call. and all of a sudden theres bunch of people belittling addy for no reason whatsoever.
of course people have right to their own opinion but in a situations like this its better to say nothing than to run ones mouth like that. wouldnt you agree?? whats the point??? cause i really dont get it.
now all that. i couldnt come this sunday because of the snow. do you know when is the king spinning again?? |
