THAT, my friend, is disallowing artistic license and not broadening your view as an artist. That SHOULDN'T fly with any DJ. What MAYBE happening is that he understands the youth and Bridge and Tunnel market that Exit thrives on and plays to that strength...I mean I remember the last time I was there (early feb) he played HiGate Pitchin and a good part of the crowd cheered...he knows thats what they want so he plays it...by the way is he still playing that??------------------Coming soon...The signature that will end all signatures...AOL: Highmay9Napster: Jayme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMikeE Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 you got a point about Draper playing older tracks. However, some clubs outside NYC get house tracks light years after they come out. For example, Zombie Nation blew up overseas before 2000, and up here they consider it a "hot track"-still playing it every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polosf Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 i guess some of u people neva been to sound factory, nyc's best club, shit, best club in the u.s., but anyways, jonathan peters gets his shit new every week, i read he spends $300-$500 a week on new shit just so he could spin it at factory, i hear new shit every week i go there, now if i were to go to exit, i'd hear the same shit i have on cd's from last summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djustinh Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 whoa, i dunno about NYC's best club, becuase exit's lighting and sound setup are by far alot better, along with the whole overall club, as far as DJ's, jonathan hands down is a god.but no way in hell is SF the best NYC club. by the way I have good friends who talk to jonathan on a daily basis, and they laughed when I asked them if he pays 300-500$ on new records weekly, thats bullshit. and by the way, I dont know where you are going if your hearing cd's from last summer. maybe sf fridays. ------------------a mind stretched by new dimensions can never be the same againYour laughing at me cause I am different?

jamunoz Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 I'm form NJ but I go to school in west virginia. The bars here play zombie nation still and everyone goes nuts. They haven't even heard of "castles in the sky" out here. I'd think that everyone would've heard of those songs by now but aparently not, I just kind of sit back and laugh at these west virginians trying to dance. I'm just looking foward to going to exit in a week and here some real music.So next time you people bitch about the music being old think of what some other people have and just enjoy what you have so close to you.

PinkFloyd40 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 he slacks b/c he's really not that good..*he* doesn't hold down exit fridays.. the army of promoters do.. there are so many dj's out there better, and so many who could do exactly what he does, just throwing down anthems...------------------"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they never use" -Soren Kierkegaard"People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little." -Rousseau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont remember how the rest of the crowd reacted, but i know i went absolutely nuts when he played "Baby Wants to Ride"...that's one of my all-time favorites. He played alot of old tracks that nite..."Give Me Tonight", "Oompa Loompa"....but also played some real good "newer" shit...not brand new. It was still a great nite...a little more new stuff would have been nicer, made it more of a nite to remember, but overall, how could it be a bad nite?
