Subject: DJ's... ack!
Original Message Date: 06-Jul-00 @ 09:07 PM - DJ's... ack!
I mean how hard is it , to hit start and stop on some decks and count a few bars, throw a cross fader over once in a while??
I really think the producer is the true genious. The one that actually records the original material on the wax and took the laborious task of making the muzik. The one spent thousands of greenbacks and took the time to learn the hardware and software, instead of buying a couple hundred quid on records and acting cool...
Why is it that DJ's get more love, than producers do anyday? Or is this my own perception? What do you blokes think??

But the average punter loves him so fuck it, let him be the man of the moment, he will be forgotten long before any producer. He is just the new version of the spandex wearing guitar heroes of the 70s and 80s.
My advice go and watch the film Kevin and Perry go large, they have got the DJ ego spot on with Eyeball Paul - fuckin' classic.

If you ask me, those commercials are making techno and electronic music main stream. Do we really want this? Not me.

Although, I must say that there are alot of good main stream tracks.

I also agree with you there...electronic music would not be where it's at today if it weren't for DJ's so they do have thier spot in the music scene. But then again, techno and drum n' bass is on every fricken' shampoo and car commercial on TV now. Whats up with that?
