the hypem inevitability

[wrong chris]

Good point! They strip DJing from it's offsets. Choosing what you want to play, is one of the greatest thing about DJing, but most are likely not to care much about it as these guys don't care about DJing at all.

What counts for them is mostly fame or banging chicks respecitvely both.
I see a lot of people in Berlin doing exactly that.

I personally listen to hypem at work. I moved from listening to the popular tracks to last posted songs, because these bring more fresh air (and are often shitty).
Soundcloud is very good also but it's interface uses too much ressource in order to use it at the same time with my programming environment (RSA from IBM) at work.

Yeah you get a lot of poseurs in the DJ scene who are trying to make a quick buck, look cool and get laid... That's fine if that's what is important to them, and I'm sure there are quite a few guys like that who can succeed in those desires with DJing - but it won't last very long if that's all they do it for.

Then you have those who are passionate about the craft and play from their heart, who eat breathe and sleep music and nothing makes them happier than entertaining an audience of five people to five thousand people; audiences and industry professionals take notice of that quality!

The scene is rapidly changing at an accelerated rate, but that shouldn't discourage us from pursuing our dreams - after all, if you do what you love because it makes you happy and you like sharing that with people you've got more power on your side then you can ever wish for!

Hypem is kind of like the indie (and free, often illegal) version of Beatport, minus the "featured" releases and so forth. Nothing wrong with the concept (and I'm not talking about piracy; that's another subject). I generally check what's popular but mostly just check about eight or so blogs that I have favorited. Works great. Then I also check Beatport for labels and producers I really like, and I check what's in the Top 10 for a few genres.
