as our beloved djs climb up in age (digweed, sasha, and others), i keep thinking when they will call it quits. afterall, they are in their mid-30s... at some point, wouldn't they decide to settle down? get married? have a family? if that happens, man, what would happen to us digweed nerds? where would we get our music?

fatboy slim got married, and he's quite a cheeser. hope our guys dont go down the same road. i wanna take my unborn son to a digweed party when he's of age.

Your unborn son already listens to Blink 182 and Clay Aiken.

I dont think they'll ever retire,unless the scene totally gives up.But I do think that they will drastically reduce their gigs.I mean already you have the likes of Van M and Nick Warren who dont play as much as they used to back in 98-2002.

People move on,after all dj'ing is just a hobby for a lot of people

Speaking of Van M, what gives with that guy? I think he still lives in Orlando, but he never plays there. The last I heard of him in Central Florida, he tag-teamed with Lee Burridge @ ICON...wacky night to say the least...Digweed settling down, that would be like the 7th seal opening and the apocalypse to follow. Don't talk like that Kix.

Danny Tag still plays and he's not dead yet.

As does Tong and Jules, one day the grim reaper will do us all a favour

There's been mention of him before on here. If I'm not mistaken, Chloe talked about how busy he is with other projects and doesn't spin as much as he used to. A buddy of mine just saw him in NYC probably 3 weeks to a month ago? Said the opening set wasn't really his style, but that he played a closing set after the headliner (Junkie XL I think?) that blew his mind.

i believe djs like digwed or sasha if they will ever retire they will still stay in the industry thet got them so famous and will teach other young djs what it takes to own the crowed at their shows, to be a great dj, but i believe it will be verry hard to have others as big as they are

Is Danny Tenaglia still doing shows? If so is anyone recording them?

Someone just mentioned the other day that Danny decided at the last minute to do a surprise gig at Space in Miami. There was also some video on here floating around taken by someone (can't remember who atm) of a recent Tenaglia show in the UK if I remember correctly.

yes and no

why don't you ask them? :shock:

This shit won't ever end, there's always fresh new talent appearing. you all seem to like that Zabiela dude, and he's what, 21? 22? it's just like any other genre... there's always new people rolling in and old ones rolling out.

Zabiela is actually 24. I don't think the age it's a problem for them, djing its not a hard task anyway, if you really love what are u doing then I though you will do it forever.. you just can get tired of gigs and stuff like that but not playing records, and after all there's a new generation coming up as well 8)

CHEERS

JVM can be the most surprising DJ onthe planet, his talent exceeds pretty much everyone else. his mixing is as good as any anyone and his taste is soo far ahead. he just seems to be a recluse. his set last NYE had people cheering his name for about 20 minutes after sasha got on.

[quote=thesightless]JVM can be the most surprising DJ onthe planet.[/quote] do you mean Jimmy "Sleepy" Van M? :roll:

he suxed major ass last time in LA...

Re: when is it all over...?

Haven't seen JVM for like 2 years......but looking forward to him and Luke Fair tagteaming it up in Chicago next weekend! :twisted:

I've heard some truely ordinary recorded sets from JvM, but unfortunately due to The Great Hard Drive Crash of 2004 I don't have them to reference against. I like his sound for sure... just some of the mixing leaves a lot to be desired.

As for 'retiring' ...I think part of this would come down to a financial issue as well. It's not "all about the music" as much as we might like to think it is. DJing is what these guys are making the most money off - and nobody likes a pay cut, even if you can still live comfortably on the lower amount.

My (cynical) two cents. :)

mid-30s ? Guys are in their prime!!

And I think we'll be like our parents...listening to 'our' "oldies" talking shit like, "You kids these days dont know what real music is!!"

my 2cents

i hope i can evolve with music, but if not, im ok just here, btw msanchez is right, they are at the right age, the only way they could stop spinning is dying, and i dont think someting could happen to them, remember they are gods.

thanks for the reminder.....lol jk
