Re: Dj sneak calls swedish house mafia "dj actors"

[QUOTE=chunky;1033007]Have either of you two actually been to Ibiza? because it doesn't sound like it.[/QUOTE]

haha no. I guess my opinion is therefore rendered invalid. afterall,

Let's assume I had gone to Ibiza, and my comment was as is.

Your reaction would have been: did you even go to x y z club?

Let's assume I had gone to Ibiza and my comment was that I had gone to x y z club?

Your reaction would have been: Did you even see such and such dj?

Let's assume I had gone to Ibiza, that I had gone to x y z club, and that I had seen such and such dj?

Your reaction, predictably, would have been, were you there on such and such night while they played such and such tune?

So this is why I can say what I said, based on the interactions with people who have, and the dj's who steer away from that place towards more secluded scene-oriented venues and locations. I had wanted to go there for years, but from what I've been reading, it's not worth the money. So, I put my money elsewhere. Back into the scene here, back into the scene in other nearby cities.

And, of course, it is for this reason why the wmc and the related industry parties will always be superior to umf. (I've been to both, to save you time asking). but even so, I'm not even sure how long that will last. the spring breakers, meatheads, etc...

The issue comes down to this: is this scene-oriented, or is it mass-appeal oriented? Clearly people who have been in the scene, been involved in the scene, and have spread that gospel see the so-called blasphemy of people producing piss-poor lowest common denominator music to play on clear channel stations so that moms in minivans can feel hip and cool. And they're getting tired of it.

Some of us react with a bit of seriousness. (Me, for instance). Some of us react to this trend with humor ([url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1759"]Bones[/url], etc.). But at the end of the day, it's a disapproval of whoring house music. and some people think indifference or simply keeping their thoughts to themselves is not the way to go about it. Sneak, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1759"]Bones[/url], Ferrer, etc...case in point.

A few side thoughts:

-Nobody is really saying this about dubstep. Nobody is saying dubstep is fake ass shit. They're just saying dubstep sucks. -Nobody is really saying this about dj's other than guetta and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=447"]swedish house mafia[/url] and maybe one or two others my mind is blanking on right now. -The 'underground' should simply be re-termed 'scene-oriented'. maybe Dom would understand.

I'm not taking issue with people who like Digweed. I'm taking issue with grown men (or women) who indulge into childish banter like the whole vortex thing (which apparently is a serious thing). You can like a DJ or music without having to act like a moronic child. I'm not defending the Swedish House Mafia either, I just don't see the point of resentment and hate towards other DJ's whether its Swedish House Mafia, Deadmouse, Digweed, Oakenfold or anyone else.

No one gives a fuck about dubstep because dubstep DJ's are not getting paid thousands of pounds/dollars per gig and are not playing to a massive audience. Like I said earlier in this thread Sneak made derogatory remarks about [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/URL] & Digweed a few years back. If dubstep DJ's were getting big money and audiences, you would see more anger and resentment towards them.

There will always be advocates of "popular vote", making fun of other peoples opinions and keeping saying underground doesn't exist and so on. These people, like chunky in here, firstly say 'there is no point in hating dj xyz' and in the following sentence use extremely hateful ("retard", "moronic child") evaluations towards anyone who disagrees.

No if you think you are better than someone based on your own personal taste in music then you are a moron.

This is the funniest part of your quote. You use Digweed as an example of behaviour you find acceptable behind the decks. I can think of many DJ's who have indulged in such behaviour in the past Ritchie Hawtin, Sven Vath, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=286"]Lee Burridge[/url] etc this has no merit as whether they are good DJ's or not. You have just tried to take something irrelevant from Digweed's performace and tried use as something derogatory about other DJs .

On a side note why the fuck does everyone stand glaring into the DJ both all night when the DJ is doing nothing of interest all night.

Re: Dj sneak calls swedish house mafia "dj actors"

Chunky - I'm not sure what Sneak said about [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] and Digweed. I agree that whatever he could have said digweed was simply retarded. If he was talking about [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] re: ableton, wel, there's always been that debate. I can at least understand the argument he's making (assuming that's the case here).

but whatever he said about [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]sasha[/url] and digweed, right or wrong, has no bearing on what he said about SHM, which imho, i think he's dead on.

Sneak might not be an amazing dj, but there's one thing he isn't: fake as shit.

some thoughts from the morning drive;

-in 50 years, I'm not sure we'll even have DJ's who play like digweed, zabiela, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]sasha[/url], hernan, etc... it may have simply devolved into doing exactly what SHM have and continue to do: press play and wave your hands in syncopation with the fireworks. will there be any dj's who take you on a musical journey anymore? or just play guetta remixes you hear on clearchannel all day? that's a future I don't think I want, and I'm sure most of you probably don't want that either. And that's why I kinda take a stand on this. It wouldn't matter whether Sneak said what he said or not - his comments were a good source of sparking the discussion. -and once the djing bit goes southward, expect the music to eventually head down that path. I hope [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=79"]Nomad in the Dark[/url] and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=129"]Paronator[/url] live long long fucking lives.

There are always mainstream bands, djs, etc that 'the underground' hates because they are popular and sell a bunch of music and make a ton of money that garner resentment. See Bieber, Gaga, Peas, etc. Honestly who cares...just don't listen to that shit and listen to what you like. As long as the mainstream likes that shit and your stuff stays 'underground', you are still hip. And that's cool rite?

the thing thats wrong here ( in this whole thread ) is that sneak is old school, the stuff he plays is new but old sounding and the kids today who are fresh on the scene just aint listening to that sort of stuff yet, i'd go as far to say that [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]sasha[/URL] and digweed are in the same category but these guys stay true to older values because they were brought up with the older way of doing thing so imo he has a point when talking about shm ( spit spit spit ) these guys just play cd's and although it may not be our/ur taste ( which is understandable ) they are hardly showing kids today what being a true dj is all about but at the same time they are bringing kids into the scene which is keeping the whole thing going..... people keep forgetting that people age over time
