Does it come down to promo?

Why are these songs that suck complete knob getting so much airtime?

The same goes for movies, there's a robin hood ad on the back of every single bus, and bets are that it's probably shit; but movies that are decent and have no promo certainly don't make millions in the first box office week..

amirite?

haha. a victim of your own swear filter.

bad songs get played because they are signed by the big record labels. justin bieber could release a song that had 3mins of unfiltered white noise, saying 'loan consolidation' every 1min. and it would still make millions.

i heard robin hood was really good

anyway, why do shit songs get signed by huge labels

I reckon, the companies are so powerful, and humans so malleable that the mass idiots just swallow what they get told is good

AYE. that's why bullshit can circulate and every song is subliminally (or not subliminally) about fucking hoes, yet they make millions of dollars and are played 58 times a day, every single fucking day, by local and state hit stations

AND THEY ARE FUCKING TERRIBLE

NO I WILL NOT MEET YOU HALF WAY, AND I WILL NOT MEET YOU ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE BORDERLINE, AND ITS NOT BECAUSE I JUST HAVENT MET YOU YET AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FIREFLIES AND NO I DONT SPEAK FUCKING FRENCH

at least you dont have to play those sugar songs tonight and pretend you like them

try get some gigs at a diffrent club?

is there any gigs you get where you can just blast out your favorite tunes.

i absolutly hate playing tracks i dont like,

weve almost been banned from playing in wollongong because we didnt play mainstream and some close friends of ours who are alot bigger then us actually were banned, they had to have a meeting with RDL(guys who run wollongong nightlife pretty much) to get permission to play at event my friends are putting on, think its all sweet now haha.

when we get asked to play more mainstream, we dont, we stop playing full on bangers, and we will go a little more chilled, like drop some funky house or jacking house, which is fine with me, i fukin love hijack, he has been in my top 5 producers/dj's for the longest period of time, others come and go but he has been there from the start.

im going to stop because im completely off topic and just rambling on at my own will haha.

Because generally humans like shit. People are caught by a hook which most popular artist are good at making or good at paying other people to make for them, mainstream audience hear this song on the radio, gets stuck in their head, they sig it all day then go buy the shit when they get home. No matter how shit the song is, if there is something catchy in it, chances are a lot of people are going to like.

haha just realised how that could of came across really wrong.

i mean suger that yall put in your tea, on your cereal. the type of suger that coke has 18 teaspoons of per serving.

Drink more beer and you wont remember playing them works for me every time!

or get 2 gigs - gig 1 for money and cheese and gig 2 for heart and soul of music which normally doesnt pay as well as gig 1

Until the Rob Swire remix of ghosts n stuff came out most ppl didn't have a clue about deadmau5 how long had ghosts n stuff been around dec 04? Not saying I hate the new track but same deal a few lyrics and some pop radio exposure and now it's in all the clubs just like any other m.o.s. annual music...not saying i hate all that etha, but I fear his music will change now and we will just see more pop from him, I hope im wrong.

Posted

i reckon if everyone on the forum pitched in we could open an ADJF club hahahaha.

Play whatever the fuck we wanted and prob end up being more successful than most other clubs. Purely because of variety and not just shit music

Posted

+ all the licencing i think just to sell drinks its 100k +? not sure some one correct me. but it is a lot. but i rekon if the venue goes off. you'd break even in about month, month half.

Posted

not to mention we only use producers playing their own music so we pay no fee's for playin other peoples music OLLOOLOL sorry dj's
