blueangel Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 You know what I'm sick and tired of . . . the DJs who really can't mix at all but play the big clubs anyway! I totally agree with you there!How do they do this?? I mean, can't the Manager hear?? I just don't get it!

frankie_pep Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 I hear that Russ The one thing that really pisses me off more then anything in this business is that , IT'S ALL ABOUT WHO KNOW & NOT HOW GOOD YOU ARE (as far as DJing goes) ... You said it bro, it's all about paying your dues & mofos now-a-days just don't understand that ...Some of these DJs out there don't have a clue about their music, equipment &/or style , their just in it to look cool, & to feel like their "down" or something ... ------------------"Without sounding pretentious i don't view what i do as djin'....i look at it as makin' soundscapes with the music and the energy .....the clubs, and the people in the clubs (myself included) are the canvas.....let's paint!"

dopebeatz Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 HAHAHAHAHA LOL! Russ I heard you had that lounge vibe going! What's up kid? I share the feelings of this post too. Unfortunately all around the tri-state area, it's not how talented you are, it's who you know. Sadly, I don't really know anyone and have then talent so this screws me directly too. Russ mail me your addie to housetraxx@aol.com, so I can mail you out some original material.Static Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ reign Posted November 16 Author Report Share Posted November 16 none taken, I'm sure there are plenty of peeps who haven't heard of me many and plenty of others who have.... kinda proves my point...I've been spinning for nine years, done more than 50 diff clubs in ten states, am the editor of a DJ mag, write for EQ and Keyboard mags, get booked through track central booking agency, and know basically everyone in the industry, and I'm still not where I want to be......(neither skill-wise nor exposure-wise; you can always get better right? or else what is there to strive for and keep you working hard)....now how could someone who has been spinning for two years or less be further alond the line... that's all I was getting at Trust me, I wasn't tooting my own horn or anything, I'm very humble, as I'm sure anyone who knows me will tell you, and my original comments didn't really even have anything to do with myself....well, at least this is interesting debate as opposed to the usual BS on the board lately Originally posted by JoelB:No offense bro, but I've been around this scene a while, and I haven't heard your name prior to your posting on the board.------------------Upcoming Gigs:Weds Nov. 22nd - (Thanksgiving Eve) - Plush, Long Island FREE ADMISSION!Fri Nov. 24th - Cream, NYCSat Nov. 25th - Arena, Albany, NYwww.djrussreign.comNY METS 2000 NL CHAMPS!

thepulse Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 I feel you Russ, opening a room is the right way, I was just telling another jock that it is a shame young kids can't appreciate the art of setting a room up, it is just as important and fullfilling as jamming a packed room. but all the new jacks want to prove they have the latest tracks burned on cd rather than work the room, they are djing for the other djs in the room instead of the crowd. Wow, I'm venting now, just keep it real and those fly by nights will keep coming and going-peaceMarshall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
