"Fake" DJs

[SlvrDragon50]

It's also a lot easier to sing live than produce a song live :P

they can at least play the main lead or something? the amount of effort some guys put into their live performance is just too low man

Meh...

The thing that makes EDM so different from other genres is that you're combining all these rather simple loops into one complex song. Not really that impressive to see someone playing the arpeggio over and over again.

At least SHM did play some drum pads.

Interesting.. never saw that and I was up front.. Half the time they were drinking.. two hiding behind the table, or one maybe punching some hot cues on the CDJ... Since they dont use digital systems what were they using for their drum pad, and samples.. a MPC? I didnt see any kind of equipmentl ike that up there when UMF TV did their behind the decks views

I was watching from home :P

They were actually drumming, that was what surprised me. I didn't think they actually knew how to drum. It wasnt just like hitting eight notes, but they knew how to do rolls and whatnot.

When they were hiding behind the table, they were most likely drumming.

Kids here get their parents to buy them Kontrol S4's , but when I ask "what's your dj name" or "do you have a soundcloud" , they're like "dafuq is a soundcloud and whats a dj?"

There are a few kids like that here, only, they are quick gracious about getting the gear. At least they aren't up in my face about gear.

Anyway, I've saved enough money to get two CDJs and I'm completely undecided on a mixer.
Anyway, I have regular work around the area, its making new contacts, that is hard now.
My age, and grade hinder me.

Can I move where you live?

Since Ive moved to DC ive seen, 4 pre recorded acts, a guy who wears a mask, uses Serato and plays mashup top 40 all night. And DJs trying to get me to hook them up with my promoter, name dropping, saying they use to spin at X Club at this day etc.

Give them a shot, listen to their soundcloud, and while its not a great judge, you can instantly hear the bad ones. Kind of like Swedish House Mafias last set on weekend two. A complete train wreck of an hour lol.

Now im no Swedish House fanboy... and I dont even like house/trance... but that set was epic, and ur just being a troll. Its sooooooo lame to continue to hate on SHM and Guetta. get over yourselves, because hating on others will just keep u blackballed in ur bedroom recording to soundcloud....
