educating the listeners

[Mr_Happy]

how important is this as a DJ?

 

personally i find DJs who play anthem after anthem a little tiresome. i like DJs that are willing to challenge the listeners (within reason mind). play something that peple might not expect or a record that hasnt been tried and tested before

 

i personally think thats the marking or a true genious behind the decks, not someone who can beat match in 20 seconds, but someone who can tred the fine line between crowd pleasing and challenging repeatedly

 

that is my personal quarrel with harddance. while there are some imagnative DJs out there, the vast majorety seem to be tidyboys or lashes wannabe's

 

whats your thoughts?

if i wanted to educate people id be a teacher.... djs play tunes that make people dance..... they dont play tunes to educate people..... music is about enjoyin yourself and having a good time not learning stuff.

thats exactly why 'hard dance' is so stale.

matter of opinion really.... some ppl think techno is repetitive bollocks that leads to nothing... some dont. if we all like the same "shit" then this world would b pretty boring

BK, glazby and andy farly are incoperating a new techy sound 2 harddance. so what ur saying is you dont like either of them as they are different to the hardhouse norm?

[Jimmy]

it if they're introducing a new sound to harddance then isnt that technically intraducing people to a different style of hardhouse - ie educating them? :shrug:

[Jimmy]

i wouldnt say its educating them no. wat is there to educate someone about music?

 

ok this music is better so listen to it. i hope u learned a lesson tonight....

not like that at all. its more like "this music is different. have a listen and see what you think"

 

DJs that play shit music will always be shit no matter how pioneering it maybe

[Jimmy]

u best give up then

[Mr_Happy]

i knew you would sus me out for teh fraud that i am

[Phil rr]

did a post once which went something like...

 

4 parts do being a dj

 

ability to mix (use the equipment)

ability to read the crowd (make the sound change during the set)

ability to get the tunes

imagination (doing something you're never gonna hear again, ever)

 

what ur saying Mr H is probably a mixture of 2 and 3..? p'waps

 

 

you could probably take the most famous dj's at the moment, and see how many of them do all those 4...you'd find out how important each thing is.
