LOL. Biggest joke I've ever heard.
Those guys pack big clubs like Guv, Footy and CZ EVERY week, ram boat cruises, have HUGE followings and are doing GREAT on beatport. HELLO can you guys say DUBFIRE is playing your tracks? Yeah. Thought not.
Jealousy really is an ugly attribute.
Don't hate the talent, hate that you can't keep up. |
You know what???
This is a stupid comment..especially coming from someone who's been around as little as you...
And to even put Guv into the same scale as Footy and Zone...
Even more stupid... |

VDUB you're just nit picking. Barb isn't comparing the clubs in scale she's explaining the following of people.
I never used to be a Junkies or Joee Cons fan. In fact you can probably go back and find threads about me saying they suck balls.
As of recent, I will admit, I've been really impressed.
In fact, at Freedon Joee was the one that put the two step in my jive.
Sorry, they are no Yoji Mauro Picotto Richard Durand etc. but they don't wana be.
This is 2009, not 2003... get with the times. or get out. |

Don't worry, I feel the same way about DJs still playing music that passed its peak 10 years ago. I think that in this industry you have to stay fresh, but at the same time, just because something is new or trendy does not mean it's good.
Not ALL tech/minimal is bad, I just don't want to sit through 5 hours of it.

1) You're hardly ever here, so I can't see how you would know.
2) A few thousand people consisting almost entirely of locals is not a "HUGE" following.
3) What exactly would I be jealous of / trying to keep up with?
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that I either (a) am in competition somehow, or (b) actually care who succeeds. They're just DJs, they just play at parties and I am just an occasional partygoer. The only thing that's a joke to me is people who militantly worship players in some drab, generic trend that will no doubt be passé within a year or two. |

As far as the local dj's..
Maybe it's because of Facebook and other portals like it but I have noticed a resurgence in the "groupie" movement. The locals are readily available and accessible to their "fans". What starts out as a groupie/dj relationship soon seems to turn into a "friendship".
The "groupies" will now defend their "friends" with everything they have, follow to them from club to club and generally blow smoke up their asses. I don't see this is a bad thing (everyone needs a following) and not gender specific, BUT what it does is create a very narrow and limited view for some people..
This city has seen many, many, great locals....and if someone wants to throw in my face that this is 2009 and not 2003 go ahead..but, our locals used to be a lot more varied and to me, had more artistic integrity...Any night of the week you could hear house, techno, progressive, tribal..etc. Nowadays, everything is cookie cutter and uninspired.
Don't mean to offend anyone.
Thanks for letting me have my Saturday morning mini rant..:) |

They were the ones who told ppl what was good and the ppl took it in...
At the time when electro was starting to gain popularity, Mark was playing it a bit...
I asked him why he was playing it (since it was such a departure from his usual style) and he said that it was what the ppl wanted to hear...
I just remember thinking...You're Mark Oliver...You tell them what they want to hear....
I find DJ's a lot more trendy these days.... |
Not saying most care, just saying you can't win either way. :) |

I believe that someone was me. :)
My statement about the junkies and joee was directed in the point of which they are better than they used to be and a pleasure to listen to.
Reminiscing what the scene used to be is counter productive. The goal hear is to discuss the love for house in general. The scene is constantly changing and evolving. Go to parties that aren't techno, they are out there. If you don't like the locals you really have many other options.
I miss the past but I'm also having a great time here in the present. :):) |

Although, I've gotta say that the crowd has always had the ultimate say of what the dj usually ends up playing, but for the trained eye/ear it's easy to tell which dj's are educated and schooled in overall musical knowledge and those that aren't.
note: by musical knowledge I'm referring to variety of genres, styles, old & new, etc. not classical training as in an instrument. |

| Don't get me wrong - I'm all for the dark and grimey stuff in abundance out there today. But definately gotta love some smooth, sexy vocals and just good old fashioned house music. Nothing like it! |
