WOW. dont forget all the PC producers, i agree george about remixes of classics or using a sample from a classic. but i wll say this in the last week or 2 i got 3 great remixes of duran duran classic,new order and someone else i forget. i usually at most of these or say they lack creativity or orginality but sometimes they can work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeacasta2 Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Originally posted by djqwest If you think that's all that's involved you're mistaken. I suppose your theory could also be applied to the hip-hop producers as well... Qwest. yes, hip hop is also loopy but people can sing along. Repititious tracks with no vocals = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakeup Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Originally posted by georgeacasta2 yes, hip hop is also loopy but people can sing along. Repititious tracks with no vocals = george but most tracks nowadays have so many elements in them, when i started to produce 10 yrs ago it was simple u could use 8 or 16 track to produce a house track. u had a basskick,drums,high hat, maybe a vocal snippet or sample, bassline,simple synth riff or piano riff. now u have tons of efx added on with processors and so on but im gettin off track to the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk does not think that...I was stating that I think he might be to big to be on there. As far as naming names, the many people who know me also know which DJ's im talking about.

djqwest Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 It's not about how big you are or how big you may think you are, it's about delivering the music to the masses and being a part of the fastest growing online radio station and dance music community in the tri-state area and north east for that matter.Qwest.Originally posted by marcomaxim Kirk does not think that...I was stating that I think he might be to big to be on there.

dtrave Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Originally posted by marcomaxim The best DJ down the shore...actually, not just the shore, but in NJ is KIRK LOPEZ.Ive never heard anyone say a bad thing about Kirk until some of the idiots on this board starting saying shit. Kirk Lopez is THE JERSEY SHORE!!If you ask any respected DJ in this area, i can assure you NOT ONE will say anything bad about Kirk. If anything, they will always PRAISE him. This guy is Greatly respected, but at times even a bit underrated. Most of the people that talk shit about Kirk Lopez cant even carry his records. All the idiots need to stop hating and start respecting. If not, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. MarcoMaxim Yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyco Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Originally posted by themoo CP METROMIX and NJGUIDO.....I think we have a job to do then. We can make a difference....I know my site has some big plans...Metromix does a great job with the music....Maybe the internet "scene" sites need to get more involved in supporting these labels and artists. NJGUIDO has plans there's not enough support for producers IMO........and that where it all starts..........if the productions suck, the DJs don't have much to work with...........and I agree with whoever said before that too many DJs producing and not enough musicians.........many DJs are great producers but many just use their name to sell shit tracks.............right now everything is for the DJs, and the market is overflooded..........producers barely see the light of day unless they're exceptional or by the DJs themselves..........most of the people out there don't know or even care who actually made the tracks..........they give all the credit to the DJ...........sad IMO.

djqwest Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 The tracks are made for djs to play so I can see how this could happen. Educating people is key, we do our very best at mmradio to provide our listeners and visitors with information on every mix they hear so they can identify the type of music, the producers, and the remix artist.Knowledge is power.Qwest.Originally posted by tyco there's not enough support for producers IMO........and that where it all starts..........if the productions suck, the DJs don't have much to work with...........and I agree with whoever said before that too many DJs producing and not enough musicians.........many DJs are great producers but many just use their name to sell shit tracks.............right now everything is for the DJs, and the market is overflooded..........producers barely see the light of day unless they're exceptional or by the DJs themselves..........most of the people out there don't know or even care who actually made the tracks..........they give all the credit to the DJ...........sad IMO.

Like Qwest said--MetroMix offers music from the big names, the up and comers and even some of the bedroom guys who got skills but just dont play anywhere. It also offers a community where people can hear your stuff and find out more about you as well as interact and give feedback. IMO Kirk should be on Metro Mix and i'll keep busting his balls till he is. I dont think you meant to try and come off the way you did--maybe u dont fully know about metro mix and what it is?

kirklop Posted July 29 Author Report Share Posted July 29 qwest, in the fall i'll have the time to submit a show.........at bunka i don't play rap because we have toro in the hip hop room..why should producers spend money on studio time when the producer cannot get paid for their tracks.......or the track leaks and everybody who may potentionally buy it won't because they have had it a month already before the label releases it......this is creating a hugh void..............educating people is not key when you have a room full of people who do not want to be educated..
