Hello Clubplanet members, Sorry for the delay, but I would like to publicly apologize for the derogatory comments I have made to some of the members on certain posts here. Greg, you and your girlfriend are wonderful people, I was simply trying to be your friends at the event. I thought the sarcastic comments your girlfriend would find funny and you would laugh too, but it was never my intention to offend you or your girlfriend. As for the posts, it is not in the place of an artist like myself to be posting a review of the night or my opinions on it in a public forum, especially in the unprofessional manner I did. Funketeer, you're an inspiration to me, and I would like to thank you for the kind words you mention at the parties. Whether you meant them or not, they inspired me to persevere with my music. I would like to apologize to you as well for the rude posts I made about you. You're right. I was acting immature, and have learned my lesson. I may not DJ at clubs often, and yes I may be a studio geek like you say I am, but I really enjoy making tracks. We should learn to appreciate both sides of the dance music realm, the producers who make the tracks, and the DJs who play them. To the house-heads who post here that I may have offended... House is a great genre, and without it there wouldn't have been trance. Although I may not like certain styles in the genre, it was very wrong of me to bash the music that started it all. To Carlos and Stogie, you were great people and had a big vision in setting up an event that did bring in a nice crowd. I'm sorry for the way I reacted to the way you guys left all of a sudden, and for calling you guys corrupt over it. I'm sure that when an event suffers a loss in money, there is not much you can do about it other than leave or face the music. My deepest apologies, Gerry

yeah funk none of that shit made any sense... lay off the vodka.. and as for being a pompous ego twat, I think it's you... mr "hey I'm a voice-over guy for MTV in Spanish... " Is that the first thing you say to everyone you meet? and stop hitting on me.. and my brother and law... we dont' think you're sexy. So don't tell me about your fantasies about riding me on your rocket. Grow some tits, slice your cock off, then come back and see what we think. till then you'll be banned from Blue and Koky's orgy.

bro, change your fucking handle to "drunketeer"

that's why you always dream about riding in Diddy's limmo, to be his personal champagne opener.

hey i had no connections into trance gigs at the time... If you DJ you wanna play at least somewhere.

yeah true it was a great night, and that mishap didn't really fuck up the night as far as "fun-ness" is concerned, but it did fuck it up businesswise... and ruined a potential afterhours, which I was totally looking foward to. With all that said, I had a great time, and I'm pretty sure you don't have to hear it from me to figure out that I did.

I've learned not breaking conformity the HARD WAY, through experience. I used to DJ hiphop parties (yeah I know it's true tho)... i kept things going pretty well, but as soon as I got to the peak of the party, I decided to "show off" my EDMness... yes and decided to stick in a dance track after a hiphop song... well luckily as soon as I saw people walking out I stopped the track and said just kidding and had to play another hiphop one to get people to stay and for the night to be a success.

hmmm... *thinks hard on this one*... you guys are promoters, and you can't decide on a time slot? time slots are VERY IMPORTANT... your whole night can go down just because of one screwup in the timeslot. (we've already seen the examples) As for greg: Let's not turn this into a who put more money or not. This shows how lame and corrupted the promoters are. So whoever puts more money gets more time? Don't put money over common sense. In other words, don't break the conformity of the night. If the Djs were pumping into a harder set, don't decide to go all house after the night has already gotten harder and edgier. If the DJ before you has the crowd going, then by all means, KEEP IT GOING. The only time you need to switch genres is if the crowd is dead. You got the beginning time slot and it fulfilled its purpose. Look we all start somewhere. I had the worst gigs ever starting out... at least you had some people, I started out playing so early I was only spinning to the bartenders. I didn't get payed and sometimes I lost money, but I fulfilled the purpose of the night, to have chill music at the beginning. So don't turn into a mr superstar just because you got the crappy 1st slot and now want peaktime. I would have told you last night too, but I really wasn't sure what was going on (because I was outside talking most of the time), but now I know, and dude that wasn't cool at all!

yeah, the whole point of playing after someone is to listen to their set and continue their journey. The only time you can kill the last person's set is when the last DJ was a dumbass like the one before Eric, and then do what you gotta do to keep the crowd. I hate it when the next DJ has to stop the good mood the opening DJ set by being disrespectful and just canning the last Dj's set completely, or Djs who are too autistic and can't seem to mix into the last song the last DJ played and wait for it to end so they can start their set.... ATTENTION DJs: put yourself in the position of a clubber on the dancefloor, would you like your favorite song being smashed down halfway, or the song ending (set stopping) just so the next DJ can do a useless, flowery intro?

Wtf. DJing is all about the money not the music? It's pretty obvious you want us to bump your thread, and you know you're full of shit. You just wanna start an argument so this thread stays up. If DJing were all about the money and not about the music, then all these DJs are wasting their fucking life. You should pursue a profitable career that makes you happy. I know as a DJ I'd rather be making money doing something I like that's profitable, than be playing music I think absolutely sucks. Yes, you do have a point that you should surround yourself with the right people, and as cool as Kooky is, playing at a club the size of a closet is fun but not something a DJ wants to be doing the rest of his life. The main goal for any aspiring DJ should be to find the link between what you like and what the crowd wants to hear, not to go to the extremes of one or the other. That's how Tiesto made it to number one. He blended his musical tastes with that of what he knows the crowd wants. paul van dyk also does that... by mixing some of the miami house classics in his sets when he plays here because he knows the crowd here will go nuts for it. To be big you have to be willing to compromise, NOT SELL YOUR ENTIRE SHIT OUT... Hell if we all did that, we'd all be a bunch of copycat DJs and going out to see PvD would be the same shit as going out to see Markus Schulz. Trance never went out of style. It's that you club owners wanna sell more alcohol, instead of having the punters bring in their own drugs instead. That's why Space raises the enterance fee whenever a trance DJ hilights (and no ones going to pay those rediculous fees to see someone they don't know about like Groove Eric... so trance isn't a regular thing here). If you talk to the average person, they just wanna go out and dance to a good beat. That's all! You obviously need to do more research before you come posting this kind of bullshit here. Trance is way more popular than house. It is the staple music of EDM. It has more appeal to the general public since trance is able to connect with top40 music better. Right now it isn't heard as often because of club owners across the country wanting to make more money off alcohol. Apprently house goes better with alcohol, while trance goes better with drugs.

not as bad as what Dogzilla's doing in UK.

not as bad as what Dogzilla's doing in UK.

Yeah? and Dogzilla's attacking UK.

only good house is progressive and some tribal... keep that disco, garage, commercial shit remixes away from me.

I hope that's directed to house... because that's exactly what house producers make.
