Another interesting POV from a Legend

[The Mighty FV]

neither are you, yet you posted yours.

How do you know he's paid for his music?

Your reply failed on so many levels it was barely worth the energy your brain used to trick your fingers it was a good idea.

Anyway, back to the topic of this thread....

My favourite part of his quote is 'people are reacting to it'....how very dare the most important people, the people who control our careers and pay our wages, are enjoying a certain style of music. Hilarious fail Wolf chops.

The difference was - back then, that cheesy crap stayed OUT of the clubs/raves. That was because the punters were intelligent fans. They KNEW what they liked. No-one was there because it was the current "big thing".

This is what happens when a minority scene becomes mainstream.

And that has changed?

[loverocket]

Mum.

[loverocket]

Dj Sneak just went after Seth Toxler, calling him a ketamine dj or something lol

what he means is that "that Minimal Deep House [Seth Troxler] puts me to sleep on the dancefloor."

>

[oliosky]

No. He meant that Seth Troxler was partial to a bit of K. Which seth has since denied. Troxler is about a thousand times more relevent than the whiny dinosaur that sneak has become.

But hey, I really don't care what sneak says any more. He really isn't that great a Dj these days, especially when you compare him to guys like farina and Derrick carter who's coat tails he's currently riding.

Yes. Very much so.

Dude needs to take a serious look in the mirror.

I've seen this quote on DJF. I cant think anything but hypocrite. His sound is exactly what hes bashing.

Exactly, he's one of the idiots that pushed full on cheese electro. The popularity of this crap is partially his fault. You can't complain about cheese electro when that's exactly what you make and play. The guy's a douche.

[loverocket]

he makes sense. if you're getting paid $30,000 to play for thousands of fans. you should push the envelope or try a mash up or an edit. if your just up there playing the BP top 10 then you're no different than DJ Joey at last weeks Memorial Day Pool Party.

DJs, please stop trying to please the commercial-loving wankers. They will follow whatever is popular. As soon as EDM falls out of style, they'll abandon it for whatever else becomes popular. Enlighten us, move us, expose us. Take us someplace new.

If you, as a listener, think it's acceptable for a DJ to play back to back to back hits that every other DJ is playing, you're probably new. Hang back, allow yourself to be educated, and quit demanding the hits. Big ups to Wolfgang.
