DJ Shadow asked to stop spinning during his set in Miami

Heh I think it's another prime example of you UK heads taking your scene for granted.

?

What's not to understand about that statement?

[mIrReN]

Nothing about not understanding just that your statement can go more then 1 way
In their scene they take it for granted that this (promotor booking someone he's ignorant towards) doesn't happen
In their scene they take it for granted that people who come to DJ Shadow are there for him not for commercial music

You could explain what it is we/they take for granted as we are not American and couldn't possibly understand

[deadly_habit]

Ok the vast majority of the world doesn't have the talent or clubs the UK takes for granted, is that an easier statement?
Half the time UK heads are sick of an artist it's when the rest of the world is finally taking notice or a tour is just taking off.
I know it has jack to do with Shadow, just kind of grining my gears reading other threads.

Funny - my pal was in Miami a few weeks back and checked out this place - he's not particularly into any style of music per se but digs D&B and dubstep - and described Mansion as being like an insane coked-up playground for the beautiful and incredibly stupid & shallow set... parking lot full of Ferraris and such. $12 Budweisers or something silly like that. Apparently there's a lot of that in South Beach.

If you look at the Google Image results for that place it suddenly looks like a clown vomited all over your screen... so many colors...

ahhhh

so it was cheaper to book shadow than guetta?

[Genevieve]

How normal is it for DJs to perform at clubs like that in America? Out here it's really just normal crusty lookin' venues.

[knell]

every major city has at least 5 of them, so you can use your imagination

that IS miami
that's the very essence of miami

the only thing i'm surprised about in hearing about this was the fact that dj shadow was even playing in miami. it's unlike other cities, top 40/reggaeton has consumed much of the nightlife

everytime i go back i want to fucking DIE

[Johnlenham]

but they have that big festival...whats it called.. winter fest or something that usually has a really good line up (if your into prog house etc)

If this hadnt happened I wouldnt have heard the sick song he played.

WMC you mean? yeah, but that's only for a certain time out of the year. and there's always exceptions. few, very few exceptions. =D

you want to vacation in miami some random summer, go out some random night and hit the clubs..it's gonna be one disappointment after another. where as in london, san francisco, LA, you get that variety.

[TheTornado]

i just assume this is playing at every club

By the sound it it that tune would have gone down better with that crowd
