diegonyc Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Originally posted by afa8317 This is why I am not a big fan of the 112crew. Except for Denis Rodgers I really do not care for the 112crew or minimal tech. I do enjoy the break tracks that Denis Rodgers drops but that is another story. When Bill Patric opend for Howells' birthday party his set had no energy. The dance floor was full of clubers ready to dance. All they needed was a good beat to groove to. What they got were long boring minimal tracks. There was no funk to it, no build up, no break down. The tracks were borring. You are spinning dance music it needs to move a crowd. You can not spin music without funk or soul and make people dance. keyword is opened.u dont bang it out before a headliner.i could see by the way u expressed yourself in this thread that you're still green behind the ears.

joeygk Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 I have a complete love/hate relationship w/ ARC......the club it self is awful.......there is no booze......and it's 18 & over.......but everytime I swear I'm never going back --- I end up there in the middle of the night....I get in for free.....20 supa fly peeps wander in ......and the music explodes w/ wicked sick beats.........it just depends --- the place is hit or miss.

Sammy dee didnt live up to past gigs....but the dj prior to and after didnt do much either. i thought minimal and boring was the new forte??? if anything.....sammy is a bit above the rest in that sense.hating is for little kids...i just voice my opinions...god knows i been around as along as you have...if not longer. we have all gone through the good and the bad....and that night in my opnion was bad. its cool to defend the success of the crew...butto blindly defend a night and diss the guest dj is poor form.-zoki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't lie and get free airfare. but wait - its cool for you to be dishonest and take mine? right so i guess it'd be cool for me to say tell you i'm gonna sell you $20 of weed, take your twenty and give you some oregano. cause you know, my guy who i gave 2k to screwed me so i'm just gonna pass it on...yep, bet you would be happy with that and wouldn't want to kick my ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afa8317 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Originally posted by diegonyc keyword is opened.u dont bang it out before a headliner.i could see by the way u expressed yourself in this thread that you're still green behind the ears. True you do not bang it out before a headliner. The opening DJ is suppose to warm up the crowd. The problem with Bill opening up that night was he put the crowd to sleep. I am tired of hearing the excuse that an opening DJ is not suppose to bang it out. Their is no need for monstrous tracks to rock a crowd. I have had many experiences were the opening DJ was on point and the headliner stunk. With the exception of Denis Rogers the 112crew is not my cup of tea. Now that I got that out of the way. Why am I green behind the ears? Just because I do not like tech house as much as you do. Or maybe it is because I actually dance instead of standing around Trainspoting. Sorry, that I think dance music is more about primitive instincts. Then having a Ph.D in musical theory. You do know that the creators of Techno where just a bunch of kids that new very little about musical theory. I guess the First time you heard a house track, you broke it down in to all its elements. Analyzed all the layers of the track, and found out what it was that made you want to dance. You did not hear that track and on instinct like the beat. Do not get me wrong I am not saying that a DJ's job is easy. I do understand it is an art. There is nothing easy about figuring out, What makes a group of people dance? Yeat, The fact that it is not easy does not make it a science. So if you spin "mental music" or "stupid music" and you can not get a crowd to dance. Your best bet is to practice some more or quite.
