    I saw these guys play at Mambo in Ibiza this year. I couldnt really see what they were doing behind the decks but the track selection was almost identical to the Avicci gig the night before.

    HOWEVER.

    How many 13 year olds can say they DJ in Ibiza?

    this is not the worst djs. at least they seem to be having a loads of fun
    I'm not too sure but the fact that they have residencies and all that other stuff is prob why they would be considered for the show

    Let them enjoy themselves.

    You would dream to be in their shoes, now or when you were 13.

    Still. It kinda takes away from the quality of the whole DJsounds concept. Carl Cox, Roger Sanchez, CVS aaaand 2 13 year old kids no one has heard of running an effect every 15 seconds.

    But hey, if that is the direction the pioneer dudes want to take its their choice. I won't be watching these things any more though, there is enough videos of kids DJing badly on youtube as it is.

    Its not that they can't be into it and enjoy it. Kudos to them, and kudos to them for getting somewhere so young and quick. But it takes away from respect of many DJs in my opinion. Just because you are 13 and playing tracks doesn't mean you deserve more then someone who has been at it for 20 years. Its the whole gimmick thing and by putting them in the front channels for these things just undermines people who have been truly at work for these things building the scene for a long time. I mean there are a ton of other residents in Ibiza who have been playing forever there that are not on DJsounds, and may never be there. I personally feel the un-sung residents all over deserve this chance then a few talented kids who are not yet ready for the lime light just yet.

    What's all this ultra-liberal talk about the fact that they're kids? They're playing on a global stage with the big boys and should be treated like such. Regardless of how old (young) they are. We wouldn't be doing them any favors to patronize them, pat them on the back, and say "good job son". Besides if we're just going to throw them a bone because they're kids, then shouldn't we be doing that for all kids? In addition to that, what happens when they grow up and they still suck? Wouldn't they be shocked when they turn 18 and all of a sudden their adoring fans have turned on them for doing virtually the same thing they've been doing for years? Isn't the fact that they're kids how they managed to get so far in the first place? Well I think they've gone far enough...What's next, DJ of the year? Top paid DJ's in the world? Eventually even the ultra-liberal people saying "they're just kids" will digress and become naysayers too.

    If I saw them in their basement, twiddling knobs furiously on tracks that weren't playing, and touching platters of CDJ's that weren't even spinning, I'd say "you kids are awesome"...But this isn't in someone's basement. They're sharing the spotlight with some of the top DJ's worldwide. It's inevitable that something had to be said.

    Kind of makes you wonder what it means to be a good "young" DJ. What mistakes are people supposed to be making at a young age. The levels seem to me like the first thing you should figure. Uncle Rico or whoever is helping them learn shouldn't want their system getting fucked up with these kids playing so deep into the red.

    +1 Totally the first thing I noticed.

    Beyond that... they aren't that bad overall... I've seen plenty worse in club environments.

    I agree with this, blame the producers of the show not the talent.
