pangelid Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 well I just turned 21 about a month or so ago and decided what better to do than check out JP at Factory for the first time and finally hear what all the hub-ub is about. I figure since I've only been djin for about 4 years now I could pick up a pointer or too from the guy and expand upon my own style. Anyway I was severly disappointed at what I heard that night. Being a true music fan, I went there 100% sober to enjoy his toons. As for the technical side of me, for some reason, once you start djin, you become overly critical of another dj's mixing skills, but I tried being as objective as possible because who am i? I'm a nobody and he's well..JP! Anyway, I had heard from most people that Peters doenst really blast off until about 4am which was cool. At about 2am, he started playing what I thought was less than decent and what apparently everyone else agreed too, as whatever crowd he developed during the previous songs, disappeared right back into the shadows. I guess I could only classifiy that music as Samba House, or house with an ethnic feel. Well, after a bit of that, he went back to his normal 130 bpm pretty mellow house, and then out of the blue, he puts on an old Whitney Houston song. WHITNEY HOUSTON?!@#!@ Cmon, I can barely take her trax on KTU, mind at SF. Anyway, after some more, I look at my watch at its a little after 4. A dancer finally got on stage and I was like, OK, this is it. THis is what I've waited for! THe beat built and built and built some more for about 10 minutes, and then dropped! It was an all too familiar vocal song, that I can't even remember right now but I thougt it stunk. Now only was the song not spectaculor to say the least, be played it for like 35 minutes. In and out, in and out!! I listed as he went to different versions, switched to his dat, came back with cd and what not. You could actually hear the sound quality change as he went from different sound sources. More of the same 35-40 minutes songs were played after that up until i left I stayed to about 6:00. Not because I was tired or anything, but because I wanted to go and actually thought the night wasnt fun. Don't get me wrong, he played a few good tracks, but not consistent enough. All in all, with respect to his mixing style, I heard the music almost completely stop many times as would happen if the dj were to run out of wax on his record. He wrecked here and there, but nothing major. I like how he stabs in parts of other songs here and there but couldnt stand the marathon sets he played of one song. It was almost like some of the music was sooo mellow that you would absolutely flip out when a good hard song came on. Phew, that was a longass review. I just want to ask the board, was that an accurate description of what JP does every SAt night or was he on an off night? Maybe my description was off?? Maybe he doesnt get really good until after 6:00? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djfabioc Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I think that must people that goes there can't sometimes tell the diference of the music like you did, because they are so fuck up on drugs.And because you were sober you found all the mistakes that he makes when he is mixing. Therefore sometimes they don't care.------------------IT IS NICE TO BE IMPORTANT BUT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO BE NICE!aol IM- Dj Fabio CT EXIT -G U E S T L I S T guestlis@optonline.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritor5 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I wasn't there so I can't say whether that was a good or bad nite for him...although most of the people I spoke to didn't care for his set a whole a lot! He's been getting more mellow as the weeks go on it seems.Anyway my best advice to u...is to GO at 6 not leave at 6!SF is an afterhours club...he doesn't even warm up until 6...and still he's not really into it until 8ish! Try it again and this time go later & I promise you'll have a better time!SMOKEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pangelid Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 what is different/better about his music at 8am than at 5am? Also, do you have to pay a $30 cover charge that late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritor5 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Originally posted by pangelid:what is different/better about his music at 8am than at 5am? Also, do you have to pay a $30 cover charge that late?Yes u still have to pay $30 at that time! The difference between pre-8:00 and post-8:00 is because JP knows that his true loyal fans are the ones who are there afterhours. So he saves his best work for later!

LOLOLOLOLOLI don't think either club has more crackheads then the other! But what I have observed is Exit has more crackheads that can't handle their crack! Just my observation..I'm not bashing u for going to Exit!Also this came about cause u think people have no clue about the music JP plays because they're too fucked up...I would bet my bottom dollar that there are MANY more people at SF that know their music then Exit!

Plus he useds tons of effects! Let me know when u plan on going & I'll make sure u have a good time!Also, the summer is NOT a good representation of SF...remember that!SMOKEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirdante Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 first of all, lets stop the who-has-more-crackheads drama. its been beat to death on this fucking board.secondly, that was a good review of JP. pangelid, like myself, obviously likes a different style of music than JP spins. i was there on sat. it was an avg nite for that place (not great, not terrible, just avg).some ppl really like the stuff JP does. the way pangelid described the JP is accurate. really, its not necessary to be a crackhead to love SF, but it sure helps. there are indeed many sunday morning moments when "the music was sooo mellow that you would absolutely flip out when a good hard song came on." that is precisely what some ppl love about SF/JP. its also what other ppl hate about JP. if you expect something "consistent" then you are at the wrong place.sounds like you got the full effect of what the place is all about. BTW, if you stayed much longer you would have gotten a more intense version of everything you just described. again, ppl who want to hear the JP style love 10 AM at the factory, while others who cant stand it at 4 AM will absolutely hate it six hours later.------------------i love music!

bionic Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Pangelid,I have to say at least that was one of the more descriptive reviews of a DJ's set I've heard in a while on this board.Most people will just say, JP was sick or JP sucked, so much props for actualy providing an explanation.And just to agree with the above, he definately kicks it into high gear after 7am. You should definately stay as close to closing as possible. Its definately worth doing it. You have to hear it to believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wise Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Can i get an AMEN from Pang..Could not agree more. Playing things for 35 minutes and using effects just takes away from what the producer made.Play the fuckin record and let the record speak for itself.

pglkm Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 just to add alittle..jonathan peters has been alittle soft lately..alot of people are saying because he is catering to the gay crowd the has been coming over from twilo..who knows..so right now if you listen to him and you like hard stuff..you will be alittle disappointed...but every week is different with jp..my friend goes every week to the factory and said a couple of weeks ago jp ripped it up...a good time to go is like around 4 stay as long as you can since it's a real late after hours club..his music kicks up later on..two more things, as far as the 35 minutes mixes go..it sucks if you don't like the song but if you do it's awesome..you don't want to hear a song for 5 minutes ...so it goes either way..let's not forget how long he spins for in one night...you want to get the full affect of the factory with jp spinning try going to the anniversary party or his birthday party at the factory..insane.. the best night i ever had..he was spinning to like 8:30 sunday night..totally fucking crazy...how many dj's can do that..he blew the roof off those nights..i'm sure anybody that was there those two nights will tell you the same thing...don't judge a dj by one night..trust me..jonathan peters is the man......
