lloydc Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 the life of a dj huh!sounds like you learned a fair bit, well done Quote
dim Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 big up. foot in the door mate.next time remember sat night is the biggest payer for the owner and the promoter so they want to follow the formula, they may have an easier/different reaction if you go back on a wed/thur? Quote
Jaz Posted April 16, 2011 Author Posted April 16, 2011 Yeh I know Saturday Is the biggest night, I didnt expect to play much lol Quote
street Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I used 2000s for the first time like 3 weeks ago and its definitely heaps different on the big platter. Couldn't back spin for shit on them, but when it came to looping stuff those beasts were dead on the money which made that way easier. Quote
LabRat Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 i wouldnt listen to any other djs or promoters about the music tbh... to an extent you actually have to but my point is, people talk shit.i went to the club where i played a few sets at to say wassup. went up into the booth with one of the dj / promoters and back in the day he had a go at me because what i played was way to heavy for the club and i needed to cheese it up a bit. while i was there he played some heavy speancer and hill tunes. i said to him why he went against his work and he said to me it was a good song...... i say fuck em all and play what you want! but still watch the dancefloor lol Quote
JonnyB Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 wat spitfire saidi remember like just over a year ago our good mates good in so much shit for playing dubstep at candy's now the dudes that put him in shit are dropping skrillex like no tomorow.but yet you mention the names scream, kryptic minds, benga, emalkay and you get a blank look like 'who the fuck are tey' Quote
dim Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 this always happens,we (djs) are at the cutting edge of music, they (venue owners) are at the blunt spud of selling grog.we have to do what they want, they have to listen to us, there is a time lag between our knowledge and them recognising we are right so they are always a bit behind. I just try and keep it peaceful along the way. That way i can bite the bullet sometimes for the money - but then use the money to push things forward on my own events. Quote
Jaz Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 yeh axactly, they owners like Charts stuff remixed like DJ Nino Brown kinda stuff...i meen if they pay me im happy to play it lol Quote
LabRat Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 but yet you mention the names scream, kryptic minds, benga, emalkay and you get a blank look like 'who the fuck are tey'had a massive argument with a big group of people about this. as much as i like the guy and his stuff, these guys were saying skrillex is dubstep. i played them bare noise and they said it was shit. little did they know, its THE SAME FUCKING SHIT! ive stopped arguing with these brain dead faggots lol Quote
JonnyB Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 where can i find them so i can give them an ear full, then pass them onto chev for a proper history lesson. Quote
dim Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 "where ignorance predominates vulgarity invariably asserts itself"i had to write that out about a million trillion times during my school life as punishments from one of the staff.stuck with me tho. Quote
