    (disclaimer: I have very strong opinions and enjoy expressing them in writing, and when it comes to clubs and dj's I am brutally honest, but it's nothing personal, I don't have anything against anybody) :)

    We don't throw the logo on a lot of the stuff we do - we focus on building CoolJunkie as a brand, and DeckJunkie is kinda in the background, but working steadily... :)

    and CJ should post thier sets so we can have a listen all for ourselves

    i dont see how a dj compitition is based on judges that noone knows

    none said who the judges were nor how many or any info on them

    how do they get to choose hos the best dj over a crowd cause the judges might have horrible taste

    ya never know

    Shorter versions of the mixes are available at our listening station in Virgin Megastore from tomorrow.

    Judges are: Oscar G, Edgar V, Roland, Mike Hamersley, Us, Rob Tufts, Buster, and a few others. Pretty well rounded. It's better this way because if an audience chooses, then the DJ with the most friends wins.

    I wouldn't worry about it too much, I mean it's fun and all to have a DJ competition, but who won last year, does anybody even remember, I believe he got to play Space a few times recently, but did he even get paid? does he have a weekly residency, is he doing a lot of out of town gigs? What about Craig Demo? He should play more around here, what's deck junkie doing about that, and Kurtis Patrick has weekly residency now, but he hooked that up himself and some some of his friends

    but anyway it's definitely a nice distraction during the slow summer months, but I wouldn't place too much importance on it

    Wow some real bitterness there - not sure why. Michael Louis (last year's winner) is considered by Oscar G and Roland to be one of the best new DJ's in Miami, and has played Space several times, Ultra, and Opium Garden with BBC Radio 1 (and was featured on their site and promo materials), and has an upcoming booking in Atlanta. All paid. He's finishing college right now which prevents much traveling.

    Craig Demo is also heading to Atlanta soon for 2 gigs, and has played Space recently as well as Nerve (warming up for Layo & Bushwacka!) and Living Room (warming up for Mr. C). He has also recently become involved in Tone Control Records who have had tunes picked up by Saeed & Palash.

    Kurtis Patrick played a very slick tech house set on the Space Terrace recently and is doing well in his residency. Also played Ultra and Opium Garden at conference.

    I think we're doing OK.

    hopefully this will be better defined next time around. in any case I wish all the finalists the best of luck. :clap:

    That's a very good point, but it's difficult to uphold an absolute rule like that, because some bedroom DJ's have had a 6 week shot at a club which didn't work out, and they deserve a chance too. We'd love to please everyone all of the time but it's impossible :)

    It's a difficult line to draw, because many DJ's have had residencies at one time or another. In our opinion, Oscar is still a new DJ and is eligible to enter.

    Regarding Lime, that's just a coincidence.

    And about AT's promoter comment, the heats are judged by a panel. The public vote result will only be announced after the winners are chosen, and will not affect the outcome.

    We'll be announcing the 9 finalists on Friday, and then all 9 will spin @ Virgin Megastore from 7pm onwards on Saturday.

    This is the only chance to check out all 9 together, and we'll be offering the chance for you to vote at the heats this year, so it's a great chance to pick your DJ early...

    and i think you guys might get 987358975987345987324981273498127349234813274193471341947129712847192837413241284 emails if you don't select at least one trance cd handed in for your competition:D

    Well spotted - fixed it.

    Re: the trance CD's - I really hope we get one that makes it to the final 9, cos I'll get far fewer abusive e-mails.

    Like I said last year, we just choose the best 9, but hopefully they'll be more varied this year...
