Guest ramon Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 defected is still a great label. they put out quality records and don't need a showcase in miami to do so. it's a shame there won't be a party, but they have just gotten the rights to put out the strictly rhythm catalogue so maybe that cost them a bit of paper to do so.

Guest coach Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 It won't be a real "war" until they come on here posting shit about us. Don't lock the thread if they do, Pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest musicalmissionary Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 ... the world now knows these ass clowns are simply bashing Miami because they are going broke like the rest of the labels. Don't get ahead of yourself dipshit. You haven't proven anything besides the fact that you can throw around insults and get a few cheap laughs in the process. Your logical reasoning skills are pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest psboyuk Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Very interesting discussion!! I read the messages on the Defected board also. I'm disappointed that Defected has decided not to do a party here, but to be honest, I do agree with some of the points Mr. Dunmore had pointed out. I've lived here for over 20 years and have seen the club scene change a lot down here. A post on the Defected site pointed out the post that appeared to start the UK vs US war of words, and it was not Dunmore's post!! These flame wars always take on a life of their own when generalizations of a group or community are made. Comparitively, there are not many people in Miami who know their music as much as people from, say, London or any other major city. BUT, the people who do... LOVE their music. Those people seek out what they love and join message boards like this one to discuss what's going on with the scene. A lot of the people who do go out in Miami don't care about which DJ is playing - they just want to have a good time, drink, party, etc. It's different in London - there is a bigger scene there and I think companies like Defected notice that difference when they come here and throw parties. I do agree that EDM is still struggling over here, but I do like the fact that there are a lot of heads still pushing the envelope and playing what they love. I hate the fact that they guy on the Defected site (a Brit from my home country I might add) decided to vomit and unload a bitch-fest on the US/Miami scene. If he lived here, he would know that there are a lot of people here who do love EDM and enjoy WMC when it comes to town. As someone else said, the fact that Defected isn't coming this year means that other parties will get more business!!~Denniswww.soulxpres.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V. Barbarino Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 I think the US is ahead of the curve of a dying EDM scene. Maybe the other countries will catch up to us, but we Americans have short attention spans and EDM is something we all did as kids, open format is here to stay and I'll be honest, I like it better.

Cheap laughs and insults are the easiest most brainless form of comedy. Pick some stereotypes and exaggerate them... anybody can do it.And don't confuse my comments for actually caring what Barby thinks. What I don't appreciate is when he makes certain points as if they are matter of fact when they are far from it. In such a case I enjoy correcting him or pointing out how wrong he is. If noone does, there are enough idiots around here that might actually think he knows what he's talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 While I think whomever posted the original comments was way off base (Dunmore?), I'm thinking his cohorts are getting way worked up over things. Though the best they could muster was having their video tech come over here and tell me that I don't know anything about running Defected. I kind of expected more.Conversely, what do they expect, they slag on our neck of the woods, and we don't step up? Like I said earlier, if I ripped on London, I'm sure someone over there would have something to say.I think it's a hoot though that people get worked up over some guys who probably play CDs for two hours. A to B, rinse and repeat. Come on, you've got 3 CDJs, 2 1200s, hopefully an effects box, and a decent mixer. Get crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
