JZ was awesome! Ggggggrrrrr8888 time & I love it when the DJ is energetically connected w/ the crowd! I've got a few really good pics from that night... my favorite 2 w/ JZ close up (thanks to Zoom) Please Don't EVER stop Smilin!!!! It's contagious :mrgreen:

only issue I had- this promoter outside the club- he was promoting The Blue Room for Sun. 7-25... I'm all for promotions, etc.. afterall there's no better way than person to person & word of mouth...

BUT - his words to me were..."[color=#ff0012]Did you enjoy the shoe tonight"[/color] Me: "Yah- Hell Yah.. my first time seein him live!" Promoter: [color=#ff0000]"If you enjoyed the show tonight, you should Definitly come to Jacksonville on Sunday.. check it out- James Holden.... he's Ten Times Better than what you heard tonight."[/color]

SO- my thought being... Is that how he promoted to everyone?? cuz that S*#@ is just Rude.... Wonder if he'd have said that to JZ as he was walkin out?? Hey come check out the Blue Room on Sunday- I"m tellin everyone who just saw your Kick A$$ set that he's better than you were....

So- I'm sendin out a Big Huge BOO... to the approach of the promoter.....

james holden is not even in the same league as zabiela

Re:: Promoter outside Simons at JZ

Holden can't mix without his computer...

and he's got no flow.

I don't know why I would even respond to that dumbass statement. Zabiela blows holden out of the water as a DJ...but I will say that holden's productions are perhaps the best there is!

I heard that asshole too, he was saying it alot, like he is best mates with Holden. I agree with CrazyMadFlyGirl, promoting your show after, repeat, AFTER someone elses show is finished is fine. But dont shit on the artist out side their own club, that just rude and makes you look a real twat. I personally like Holdesn music, Solstice is a real ear treat, never heard him spin. But I am sure he isnt 10 times better than Zabiela. And I'll most likely never go to that blue room because of this TOSSER. lol

Hydra, nice job that night mate. Played some really good choons, that echomen - cure is very nice on a big system.

Of course the irony here is that this particualr guy was asking me to come and play in Jacksonville for him... :?

#230187Post 13 of 21

do you think you will any time in the near future?

#230190Post 14 of 21

i was in chicago last weekend for Mazi and Tripwire...Holden came on the decks at 2:30am...

sounded like one big record the whole time. :?

couldn't even hold a stick to the science Mazi and Tripwire were dropping.

#230191Post 15 of 21

^^^^would like to have see that show.. I've not seen Tripwire live yet.

Re:: Promoter outside Simons at JZ

I don't think that there'e a DJ out there that is 10 times better than J.Z. I don't even like everything he plays, BUT the man can rock the tables like only a select few. I'm sorry the @rsehole promoter had to disrespect J.Z. that way. I give J.Z. my respect for his skills and that smile... Don't ever stop smiling!!!!!!

i agree with this 100%... JZ looks like he is enjoying himself up there and it makes the party that much better... last i saw him i had to stop dancing every now and then just to watch him on the decks and it was like magic... like no one ive ever seen live before... such a star... :respect:

#230254Post 18 of 21

this guy must either be pretty darn inexperienced at promoting gigs or his ass must be on the line with the holden gig :twisted:

#230257Post 19 of 21

he could also have been just some knob sent out to hand out fliers, and got a bit big for his britches, thinking he would sound cool talking shite about JZ and that "HIS" show will be better.

#230263Post 20 of 21

fucking promo heads. they need to think about what they are saying and not so much the money ...
