fredv Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 I should have about 6000 records and the only cds I use are unreleased tracks from bedrock rec. yoshitoshi,.... I only play cds for a label that worth it.!!!! It's an average for all the dj's in europe and once you come a star, you should have over 10000records easely.Hope that answer cans help you.Fred.P.S.And to answer to an old topic :Edgard V isn't the kind of dj's that we book in europe or in basics club even if he's not so bad. I'd rather listen to him than Oscar G.. The space made a mistake.Go on Edgard V. Actually it's the only one local dj that I apprecriate here but I didn't hear everybody so I'll make a review in a couple of weeks about it.

biznation00 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 How can you make a comparison between Edgar & Oscar?? Two different styles.. Both are praised localy & beyond...Not quite sure what you mean when you say Edgar isn't the type of DJ you book in Europe & that you'd rather listen to Edgar as opposed to Oscar. Your writing isn't clear & I am a bit confused... They both have done their share of touring & have played with the likes of many great ones. Oscar just so happens to have held residencies in a few "small" venues like MINISTRY OF SOUND, PACHA, TWILO, ECHOES & is our top resident (CLUB SPACE)... Not to mention his successful productions (no need to mention). Pretty damn good if you ask me.Edgar, recently played along side a dj you might know, by the name of Paul Van Dyk << isn't he from that side of the world?? Tell you what, try standing behind Oscar one night & watch him work @ his set. If you still feel he hasn't impressed u then I suggest you open a School for Djs & teach us all the fundamentals of Electronic Music...Maybe his style isn't the style u prefer, but europe & the U.S. sure tends to appreciate him...I guess I'll start collecting records now, so by the time i hit 30 I can have over 10,000 records, not touch a turn table a still be a star by "euro standards"...

fredv Posted May 3 Author Report Share Posted May 3 Maybe you are confused because my English isn't perfect because my native language is French. I don't want you to misunderstand me, I don't say anything wrong against those dj's, but I am European and I know what's going on there and I know that Edgard or Oscar aren't known at all there because their style don't match with the Europe, It doesn't mean that there are wrong.But from a personnal point of view, it's been more than 10 years that I am involved in the electronic music and I am not impressed by Oscar or Edgard, and my preference is for Edgard and beyond the music they play, it's the way they play it, that is important for me and I am sorry, Oscar has a lot of things to learn and it should be good if they could go more often in Europe because the Euro scene is a 100 times tougher than here, because house music is in our cultur for so many years and we know the past and the present, that means that a dj can't save his ass with a classic like Gusto(like he does at space) and you can't hold a crowd dancing the way he does it.I repeat, there's nothing wrong with their music, everybody has his own style but it's the way they play it, only.If there's any question, I'll answer, Maybe I just don't use the right words and it sounds bad for you.

biznation00 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 There is nothing wrong with your opinion & Im not questioning how hard the European market is. Nor am I comparing Europe to the US. However, why would MOS, Pacha & others grant Oscar a residency if they thought he wasn't worthy & if they felt Europe doesn't have a demand for his sound?? beyond the music they play, it's the way they play it, that is important for me and I am sorry, Oscar has a lot of things to learn Please specify the way they play it... What do u mean?? the way they put their set together?? The way they add their trademark to or touch up every track during their set?? I highly doubt Oscar uses any track in specific to save his ass & in my opinion, he's held that crowd dancing for sometime now...P.s. not many djs can keep the crowd's attention in the blue room @ Space for 8 hours+ the way Oscar does... Try keeping them till 10am+... Even some of the big boys have a hard time with it. It's the hardest room to play @ Space, but if you nail it, they'll be there till Cristmas...
