Guest bcnjunkie Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 I'm of the same idea. I go out to have fun most of all, and do my thing with generating galleries, which is a fun all it's own. I've heard every DJ trainwreck at least once, some more than once...but I'm not focused on the fact. I'll go like "ouch, that had to hurt" or something, but I don't dwell on the fact or mention it the next day. Half the time the DJ him or herself just laughs it off and keeps on truckin' ....I have fun pretty much wherever I go... doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on the quality of the music.... plus everyone trainwrecks it once in a while, the point is the all around quality (track selection, mixing, sampling, playing with sounds, etc) so if you think that quality doesn't matter then why go hear oscar G ?

Guest bcnjunkie Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 ok dude, trainwrecks are not important, you win .... [/quote] They are huge if they are done time and time again. I quoted Andrew to sate a point.I was talking about dj's who are perticularly good at it and whose programming is awful. I think the thread was about who we thought doesn't deserve a residency not about the trainwrecks during CJ spin off. I know i have fun no matter what... Plus about local DJ's... I will always go check out and chat with local dj's... unfortunately I have three jobs of which on weekends I don't get out anywhere between 1 and 4 a.m. so it makes it kind of hard. If a local invites me anywhere, I will try my damnest to make it and give it a fair shot ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 Well, I care about the quality obviously, but I don't shit the bed over a trainwreck or two. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIRZA1414779019 Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 You're right. DJ's who are still in the train-wreaking stage shouldn't even get any play no less a dime until they can execute the basics!well now that's a little too harsh I think, you can get to the point where you never train wreck spinning at home, but playing on a big system can be very disorienting for first few months, or years....Actually playing on a big system is a lot easier than playing on a small one. A big system can hide a lot of your mistakes.....im not a professional dj, but i imagine the massive bass could help drown out inconsistent beat matching.It’s probably the opposite it would make it more obvious.

Mixing on bigger systems is easier once you get the hang of the mixer IMO. Unless we're talking a blatant lack of skill here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we're talking a blatant lack of skill here...thats what i mean, i would think a minor error in the beat matching would get blurred out as one beat on a massive system.

If that were the case who would need skills to match a beat in order to DJ live? But yeah, if your mix is off slightly, the bass of a loud system will hide the error. But if you wreak it's going to sound like an Amtrak!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avenue33 Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 I would say cedric based on sets at Crobar, haven't heard the sets at Space but for what I understand he has improvedWell you need to get your ass to Space because his sets are rocking it!!!

Guest mikepayne Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 I don't have the patience to read this thread to see if anyone else has mentioned this, but the guy in crobar's VIP on Saturday night always sucks ass. I don't know the name of the DJ that's normally up there, but I'm consistently disappointed any time I'm in the VIP on Saturday night at crobar (though I haven't been in about a month or so). Thank god for Ralph in the main room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fended Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 The crobar VIP (upstairs) is no longer house music oriented. Gus and Danny play an open format of hip hop, rock n' roll and some (very little) house hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus and Danny play an open format of hip hop, rock n' roll and some (very little) house hits. I know, but they suck. Marc Leventhal knows how to do what they're trying to do very well, but these guys are just horrible. They trainwreck constantly and they pick a lot of horrible tracks to drop. I can't tell you how many times me and my friends have looked at each other in disgust and all in unison suggest we leave the VIP, because they either decided to play some track that was better left forgotten, or they've fucked up a mix so bad that it makes me wish someone would just go put a CD in the booth and throw them off the balcony.I know you work there and you have to defend them, but dude... come on... these guys are horrible. I wasn't even going to say anything because I have no real evidence and I don't typically post unsubstantiated rumors, but I've been told by more than one person the only reason those guys have that spot is because one of them is related to someone with ownership interest in crobar. It wouldn't surprise me at all, the only way I can explain them still being there that they have some kind of hookup.It honestly makes me sad to even think about it. I hate those motherfuckers for ruining my time so often. The only way I'll support them spinning anywhere is if the place has a chain link fence in front of them like in Blues Brothers so I can throw tomatoes and beer bottles and shit.
