he stands out to me as one of the bigger risk takers in a set and he really goes for it and pulls it off

...

Eddie comes across as a unique DJ to me - and as far as I'm concerned thats what its all about. Far too many of the other DJs just dont stand out in any shape or form to me.

You've obviously seem the guy more often than I have, James, but that's exactly what I thought after seeing him at Slinky.

 

There isn't one DJ on the planet who wouldn't [censored] up at some point if they were as technically ambitious as EH is. I'm not just talking about scratching, I'm talking about going back and forth between loads of records in a short space of time in a very unconventional but clever way.

 

I'd rather listen to a technically ambitious set with a couple of mistakes than a run-of-the-mill set. And I'd rather listen to a diverse set with a couple of tunes I don't particularly like than a samey play-safe set with no surprises.

 

I think the biggest problem with the explosion of dance music and the popularity of DJing, is the sheer number of mediocre DJs who play the same tunes, don't dare to tread outside of one specific genre, and are too easily contented with smooth but unimaginative mixing.

 

 

that was exactly my point if had had be bothered enuf to post in this thread earlyer. well done liquid and james 4 suming it up so well

[Wonky]

you would have spelt words wrong though

[Mr_Happy]

that maybe so, but the point i would have made would have been the same

ive slagged him to [censored] elsewhere, and for quite a while, cos i dont like him at gatecrasher and i dont like scratching, but on saturday he blew me away.. and has made me think about what im actually doing...

 

 

You know, I used to think the same with other DJz when I first got into the clubbing scene and learned who played what, and who is who. In the early days, I never really liked BK or even the Tidy Boys, and when I made my decision that I didn't like these DJz, I refused to go back on my word, I refused to go watch them play, I refused to "give them a chance" and actually listen to them play. I basically (and some ppl do this) opinionated them on a [censored] set that "didn't do it for me" when they had performed to a crowd who loved the DJz I didn't like. Ignorance. That's what it is. I then realised, that I couldnt really base my stupid opinion just by one set that i didn't "click" with. So I went along to a sunddissential night in my early days of clubbing when BK was playing, and boy was I wrong. Same with Tidy Boys. I guess I was just to spitefull to give these ppl a chance to show what they are made of. I was impressed when I did. And still am today.

 

No DJ is perfect, and not all DJz suit ones taste. I find alot of ppl jump on the bandwagon with certain DJz they do not like. It happens. Although I never have understood why.

 

I say all this, because, I never thought much of Eddie. He never really "did it" for me. And when going out on weekends, or seeing his name on a flyer, it's never interested me to go see him play. Last weekend at Camden, I loved every single minute of his set. IMO he played a very intense set that I thouroughly (sp?) enjoyed. I can't describe what his set was like. It was just amazing IMHO, and, sinse seeing him perform last Saturday, iv realised not to judge a DJ or anyone for that matter, on a [censored] performance. It happens. [censored] happens.

 

That is all.
