highmay

milamber, posting only when neccesary...lol...what up bro... and yarim...congrats my man...I'm next....and wouldnt be only right that HIGHMAY is a CLUB GOD??

depends on your taste...

k i need to get back to my work so he is the cliff's notes version of my opinion: lets examine why's the highest paid DJ in the world: in order be recognized as an amazing DJ, you first need to get your name out there, and that is through your production. Off the top of my head I can't name to you any songs that made his name, but obviously his production impressed the world over. Now, not every producer is a good party DJ (eg. John Creamer), but since he was also known as an amazing mixer and skillful DJ, people's demand will be for Paul Oakenfold as a DJ AND Producer, much like what we are seeing with Tiesto now. Personally, I haven't heard Tiesto spin, but when I have the chance to, I will definitely go to hear him, partly because I love the Silence Remix and 643. I'd love to see what he can do in person. So, Oakey made his name known internationally through his production, and became the highest paid DJ through his mixing ability. Now, are spinning 2 hour sets, demanding a bottle of shampagne at every club he spins at, and scoring the soundtrack to a movie points to consider him a sellout, yet a savvy businessman? Ehhh...that's based on individual opinion. One thing that everyone has to remember is that Paul Oakenfold and many other people make their living off of DJing and producing. In any aspect of life, you get paid based on your talent that applies to the certain job you want to work AND based on the demanding market for your talent. In the mid to late 80's, when DJ's started going on worldwide tours, they weren't receiving the luxuries that Oakey demanded and received. Please keep in mind that you are given certain luxuries to be as comfortable as possible. So, if I want to book "the best DJ in the world" for my club, I have to make sure he/she gets paid, stays in the best hotel, and gets treated with respect as "the best DJ in the world", all in an effort to give him/her the best situation to perform AS "the best DJ in the world" when it comes to time to prove that you ARE "the best DJ in the world" at my club. I'm not sure what Oakey's personal details are, but no one knows if one of his family members (god forbid) has a condition with a pessmistic outlook (ie. AIDS or leukemia), and part of his motivation for getting paid so much is to help out his family needs. No one gets paid an obscene amount of money and doesn't do anything to help themselves throughout the rest of their life and their families' lives. You put most of that money to good use, and I'm sure Paul and his family will be set for life personally through his talents. In the end, isn't that what we all want for ourselves? One more thing I want to touch on is people all over the world have different, but specific, musical tastes. Oakey spins a wide range of music, so not everyone is going to agree with what he spins on any given gig. Also, keep in mind that he is human, and not a robot like Danny Tenaglia, so he will have a bad set here and there, but then again, every other DJ can spin a bad set...or two...or three. He just gets highlighted because he gave himself such high standards that anything he does that might disagree with a certain group of people gets magnified ten times over. So, in conclusion, does the man have talent? Yes. Should he get paid as "the best DJ in world?" Well, based on MAJORITY opinion (since not everyone likes the same type of music), yes. Does he get a bad rap sometimes because of a few mediocre performances? It's inevitable. Is he a sellout? I think not. The man is doing a job. Let him. ...gee, and I wonder what I would have said if I had more time on my hands .
