look man,
proof of my intentions and devotion to the music is evident in my stance against digital DJs. If you understood half of my position, and could comment on it objectively from there you might have some kind of ground to stand on. Unfortunately you don't because you keep going off topic and calling this a pissing contest between myself and the world. Well frankly its the furthest thing from it. I see the adoptation of digital mixing as the death sentance for dance music and I can trace the historical patterns and document turning points from previous downward slides and paint you a picture of how this happens - if the vinyl DJ is eliminated from the picture, and thus the acid test that the vinyl record provides for the quality of the music released and played first and foremost, from there, a whole long list of other things pops up that simply cascades the problem and even MORE SO raises a cause for concern. Digital DJ or not, if you had two minutes of deep thought on the subject you might come to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, I am onto something here and you would take the attitude that you have towards the people that hold this business together - like the bedroom djs who buy music on records and pay them some more respect. I certainly do, and not just because they buy our products, but because they provide for the core elements that essentially cause for the recycling of creative energy in the culture itself.
You don't get the same thing with digital this and digital that and a bunch of punks standing around pumping their fists in the air ever few minutes before returning to their "hide behind the screen" performances. |

Give it a rest dude, no one cares how cool your label is or how your average canadian bedroom DJ will rip apart your average european "jetsetter" DJ. Which I have to say, is a rediculous claim if ever I've heard one. It begs the question why they are still in the bedroom for example? I'm sure you have an answer though.
Take a bow DJlithium. Your the man. I'm converted. I'm going to burn my mp3 and CD collection and smash my DNS5000's to bits. What the hell was I thinking? Infact I'm going to melt down all that silicon and make a big plastic donger to keep up my ass to remind myself of the day I was converted to being a real DJ by your good self. |
Look,Dont discount what lithium is saying-there is a lot of sense to his arguement,and btw-his reach internationally is larger than most of you or any of the superstars would expect.I was amazed & could not believe it when i found out he was located right here in Vancouver.His sound is not exactly what one would expect to come from a city so over saturated with bad house its greasy.
Lithium is a rare breed who ses through a lot of of "trendy" crap and calls it as he sees it.If that does not sit well with you fine,But dont for a sec take what he has put forward here as being anything but serious and with a lot of background to back it up.
I dont see any of you guys with your own label pressing records by artists that he has helped to develop from around the world and launch onto other lables,While still holding down the longest running independent netstation around...so maybe you might just want to back off a bit unless you have something to add that simply doesn't just default to the a-typical excuses we all hear from digital djs over and over again |
