Re: 'The End of DJing'

good article... definitely was long. i always wondered what would happen when the true legends retire from DJing. it'll be a completely different ballgame at that point.

Re: 'The End of DJing'

By the time the legends retire I'll be too old to give a flying fuck about the fluoro babies ruining the scene.

Actually I already don't. I stopped going out, EDM and clubbing is mostly a spectator sport to me. Nobody arounds me enjoy the same music with the same appreciation, all I have are my headphones at work and earphones on the commute.

I do miss the days when friends and I only went out for the music. It was a pride point that we'd make a bee line for the DJ console, hung around till the last men standing, and left. Going to raves were fun cos we'd get the line-up and plan our night. No shenanigans no chatting up women, we were music nerds.

But articles like this are depressing. Everything is a cycle. Hopefully this whole thing implodes on itself, the torch bearers will carry on, followed by people who follow the music.

Re: 'The End of DJing'

Guess we should just be thankful we were there when the scene was about dancing weird and expressing yourself and listening to music nobody else did.

^ kinda like that video you just posted john? [URL]http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/showthread.php?136278-Lol!!!&p=1101541#post1101541[/URL] :)

feather - i hope you're right. i've pretty much resorted to doing exactly what you describe yourself doing. i feel pigeon-holed because i like house music in a mostly poppy/country music region. it's awful!

Re: 'The End of DJing'

^take comfort in knowing everyone in California listens to house music practically
