Nothing worse than that, . That stuff pisses me off more than a headliner sucking.
It shows either the inexperience or the lack of research by the promoter and/or opening DJ. Hard to say who....I know of openers who are instructed how they shoudl play for the headliner but that message goes in one year and right out the other. Eithe way, that stuff always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. |

yep, Avenue 66 banged it too much. we told him to spin deep house or chicago house or deep tech. last time he spun for us, once he went funk, the other he went chicago house, but I guess he got too excited for this one. we even put the music down from the turbo system, not through the mixer since he kept on putting it up and redlining it, and he was playing a bit too hard. |

I had blast on Friday. I'm so glad I went cause I saw a lot of old friends!!! It was like parting back in the good old days. hahaha
Anyhow, I thought Holden was en awesome. My only problem last night was that people kept taking pix of my license plate! lol... g I wonder why? lol Anyhow, that wasn't it, my issue was with the sound. Sometimes it sounded good, and sometimes it sounded bad. There was time where my ears were literary hurting. No joke. Good thing I ended up taking ear plugs and those came in handy. Otherwise, I had a blast! Good job guys!

| You can't ever really tell a DJ what to play, they're not going to listen. You have to just find a DJ that knows what he's doing. |

nope, but he was perfect before so musically, we planned it as per what he normally plays...never saw him play that way ever...
in any case, thanks for everybody who came out.
apologies for the wait in line, we were at capacity at 11pm.
as King King staff mentioned, they've never seem that successful a party for the past 3 years.
so we thank everybody for their continuous support for INCOGNITO, not only last Friday but the last 1st, 3rd and 5th Fridays the past few months!
cheers to you!:toocool: |

You should in a FedEx box and send it to him. That'll learn him! |

The opening guy did play a bit too funky and hard. We went out and got food while he was playing though and got back in time to catch Franco play.
Glad he calmed it down a bit.
James was amazing though. It's so nice to see a DJ completely focused on his craft instead of jumping all over the place like an idiot.
He let his music do the talking as every DJ should.
If anyone can name off some songs he dropped that night please do.
MFA - The Difference It Makes
Buttons - Sweet Love For Planet Earth (Andrew Weatherall Remix)
And I think he played Margot - Goblin if I remember correctly.
Would love to know the first and especially last track he played. |

I totally respect this statement. An honest, sensable reply in response. :)
That said, it's doesn't even look to be mainly your fault....you had expectations from him from a gig before and he was told what to play and went outta control! I can't stand it when an opener isn't responsible on his own end. Always feel openers should find a couple of the most recent mixes from the headliner, preferably a live set, and get an idea of to progress into him. Or use that in combination with the instructions he's given. |
