99% of hospital releases are just liquid for the mainstream. Still, shame on this guy, if you were being booked to play out you'd atleast learn to mix like lynx did. I read the rest of the thread and he came up with loads of excuses, then it was pointed out his CDJ wasn't even turned on

Everyone on the DNBA forums love big pictures in their sigs dont they haha.

Fair enough to have a rant though. takes the piss a tiny bit. anyone could show up with a pre mix done, ive heard caspa do it before at a night in bournemouth.

does shatter your heart slightly to see it happen, but it does

Not one of my favourites, but seriously... if someone plays their *own* tunes out, then it really doesn't bother me how they play them. It's what comes out the the speakers that counts.

This would only be a big deal if it was someone elses recorded DJ set he was playing... although if he's stood up there pretending that he's working harder than he is, that's a little bit tacky - Justice got rumbled with unplugged MIDI controllers last year... advertising a Live Set and then miming your controllers is definitely fucking wrong.

With a DJ set it just doesn't bother me... I care about tune selection, sound quality and the vibe in the crowd, I'm not at a rave to jerk off over someone's cutting skills... if I wanted to do that I'd go to a DMC competition.

To people saying its no big deal: it is.

This is the equivalent of paying to see a band live, and they get on stage play a cd (the same cd you have in the car) and rockout on air guitar. Why get up there?? Why should you pay to see this??

Because it's a DJ playing prerecorded music from CD players or record decks and not a "live set" anyway?

The cult of the DJ is massively overrated.

your not paying to see a DJ work hard, your paying to dance your arse off to pre-recorded tunes on hopefully a decent system

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't actually know what a DJ is supposed to do inn dance.

yeah but a good dj putting the right tunes in the right order and mixing them effectively takes those prerecorded tunes to a completely new and different level, which i think is the point of a dj - not just to play songs on a bigger system. If this was the point, then why would clubs (read - good clubs) bother to hire different djs on their relative merits when they could just get the tunes and put em on a mix cd themselves?

Yep. Fully agree.

If the Dj just sticks on a CD, what exactly are you paying for? To listen to a big system? Well, my mates got one, maybe I'll just go round there next time Plastician or N-Type is playing here.

I do feel a bit sorry for him though. It seems like he completely shat himself when he realised he wasn't going to be able to play live and tried to take the cheap way out. It's not like he's tried to make a name for himself as a DJ either; he's known because of the music he's made, and it doesn't really seem like he wants to DJ at all. However I'd imagine £300 for an hour's work is pretty hard to turn down..

In one of the many threads, the promoter explains that he was originally knocked back from hospital saying he doesn't DJ, the promoter then went to him direct and convinced him to go do a live set, which he couldn't do when he got there, the promoter also said it was the best night he'd done in 5 years.. so he must have made money off it...

the only point of a dj at a party is to watch the crowd and interact
therefore i don't make much of a difference between mistabishi and a dj who shows up with the playlist already made up in his mind (sometimes written on paper) and performs same longtime rehearsed set everywhere regardless the crowd in front of him.

the only live thing about dj-ing is actually the interaction with the crowd and the ability to read the audience and adapt your playlist. if you don't have that, you're as good as a cd for me

edit: there's also dj's able to adapt the audience to their sound or sell them anything he feels like playing. but those are the few exceptions
