OK Laurence, let me remind you of something.

 

This is an extract from Laurence's post about "AMazing sets by Glasto DJs"

* fergie - was wondering past the radio1 stage to hear techno banging out. started stomping away and heard some geeza on the yell out "fergie on radio 1" and i'm like - "fuk - i didnt know fergie could actually play good set!!". its always nice to be proven wrong by a dj playing a blinding set. my only critasisum to him would be: was there really need to scratch over EVERY breakdown? but i'm not even gonna complain about it as the scratching was on beat every time and his mixing was as flawless as usual

 

I dont care whether you like Fergie tbh, just stick to your own opinions.

I think he has gone too techy now, hes goin to shoot himself in the foot. I know for a fact numbers have dropped on his show in the last four months.

 

Hes a friend of mine, not my boyfriend.

Laurence dont get so touchy & shitty boy, it is ok for you to point out to peeps, well be man enough to take it back, on the shoulders eh!!!

Dude, relax!

 

bit of craic and all that. I just dont understand why everytime someone wants to slate Ferg, they wait for me to jump in to his defence.

 

Everyone here knows Im a STRONG believer in "each to his/her own", you especially.

So shall we start blaming producers/record labels too for not making/distributing that are in your opinion, tunes that you wana hear/play out??

Far from it. There are billions of good labels / tunes out there. The problem is, most DJs buy the same [censored] tunes. And in turn, a hell of a lot of clubbers put up with it. (Especially when they're off their tits on drugs, and all they care about is how "banging" or "anthemic" the music is.) Ahem.

Well the fact that the "said" DJs are choosing these same old same old tidy/nukleuz style records/tunes does make them a [censored] DJ

 

IMO

 

*wanders off knowing that i'm a [censored] dj now*

So maybe thats what them clubs want.. i mean they have the opportunity to book other djs that dont play obvious tunes.. maybe its that in order to hear lesser known tunes you need to go to more underground nights.. im not saying this IS the case but tryin to put a different perspective on it, maybe its not the dj but the kind of night you are going to that doesnt match up to what you personally like.. i hope im wording this in a way that is understood for how i meant it!!

[LittleMissLoud]

It's often what the punters wnat, as liquid eyes said. I think it's all about a happy medium (some well known stuff, and some stuff that is a bit diferent)

 

However, just as there are dj's who play predomenantly Tidy/ Nukleuz stuff, there are those who feel they are superior for playing mainly unrelesahed material, but often what they are playing has not been released for a reason .

 

Many demo CD's will have the unreleased mix of a track which ismore well known - but sometimes that unreleased mix is pretty poor - hence the better version being released.

Agreed, some of the unreleased stuff may get signed tho.. and its as likely to get signed to tidy or nukleuz as it is any other "credible" label so what makes it better than other tunes already out on these labels.. the fact that its not been heard too many times? That its a "better" tune?? That a well liked dj plays it??? The fact its played in a "better" club???? The actual style????? There's loadsa factors that come into it imo and i dont think anyone can say it is one certain factor for sure!!

[LittleMissLoud]

I never said there was one factor, and I never said that all material that is unreleased will never be released, or doesn't deserve to be released, just that some material that is unreleased is that way for a reason - i.e. most poeple (dj's, clubbers, record labels etc) would think it's pretty [censored]!
