What's the deal with Guy J?
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
Ya know I saw a post just this morning and I just came back to get it and I can't find it. I was downloading something else at that time so I couldn't get it. I did a search too and nothing, although my search abilities seemed to be limited today as I posted something that energizerbunny posted and I didn't see that one either. I'm going to go ahead and blame the little one for the lack of sleep as he did keep me up for quite some time last night.
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
Who knows thought he had a soundcloud page so what is the discussion all about anyway?

Thanks for that you boring cunt.
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
Guy J @ Clorophilla set seems to still be up.

[QUOTE=dusk;868974]Seriously.... no sets are allowed? Live or otherwise... Is it a management issue? Hope he doesn't turn into another Danny T :what[/QUOTE] The only live set of him I have seen from him was an illegally recorded one. He usually gives us promo sets. He obviously wants to control his music, which is just fine with me, I would much rather have something like that great promo set we just had from him than a crappy, illegally recorded set. which as in the case of the one set I had heard was mainly the warmup Dj anyway.
The difference with Danny T is , while I still stand up for his right to control his own music, he is a shit because he gives us nothing but whining !! And we here in Australia don't even get the opportunity to see him !! He has been here once in 10 years and then didn't do a proper show in Melbourne !! :evil:
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
Btw the other Guy J that no longer seems to be there, is a perfect example of what I mean!! Guy J gives us a wonderful promo in 320, this was 128 rar file ?? As long as we accept the lower quality stuff that is what we will get. We are the losers. And if we really don't get even those promos anymore ?? so is our favourite site .
I'd like to point out that our favourite Djs on this site definitely control their music and brother do we win !!. We get amazing amounts of great quality music and it's all free.
Ok, maybe time to put away the soapbox !! :lol:
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
His sets are weak anyway imo. Just sayin
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
when he opened for Digweed in Miami he was amazing :)

Di has pretty much said what I was going to, thanks for that :p
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
Would you like to borrow my soapbox ???:lol:
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
No no, you're on to a good thing, so I'll let you keep it for the moment :lol:
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
Who cares, it's his loss if no one's listening to him.

This I agree with ... however he doesn't give us "enough" IMHO :p (call me greedy)
Now the issue with 320k or 128K is not a huge deal for me, as the Summer Sessions set is bloody fantastic... I won't be complaining about that at all. Now on the other hand if the set is illegally recorded and passed around I will understand the fuss. You see someone like me who will never get to see Guy J live has to make do with whatever I can get my hands on and frankly unless its a horrible recording or illegal stuff, I'm not gonna pass.
Basically this plea is for Guy J himself (if he is reading this) he should know that we need more :LoveYou:

[QUOTE=feather;869165]Who cares, it's his loss if no one's listening to him.[/QUOTE]That's not going to happen. And do we know why he isn't here. ??? All I have seen is this thread.
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
He releases a promo set, or does a set for a radio show every couple of months. How much more do you want?

Maybe because I am older and remember having to pay for all my music I find this attitude that the artists are expected to give us their work for free really strange. That is an observation not a judgement. There is also the issue that Guy J obviously takes a lot of pride in his work. He doesn't want it released in bad quality , so if it is bad quality there is a very good chance it is illegal. You have got think why would he want to give us anything if he has been treated like this. ?? You don't reward bad behaviour . See I really am old school :lol: I think he has another Album coming out soon.
I actually flipped through that summer sessions after reading your post and it isn't as bad as I thought it was initially. But a lot of it is on the promo and it is great quality so I think I will stick to that.
One of the reasons I love soundcloud is we get music straight from the artist. So I know it is what they want us to have, and usually great quality.There is an unbelievable amount of free legal wonderful music out there. Far more than any of us will ever have time to listen too. I downloaded heaps this morning :D Particularly good day today. :D
What we probably need to do to encourage them that it is a good idea to use sites like sound cloud in good quality. They have control, It's good marketing for them and great music for us. To do this though we also have to convince people that it is not worth it to illegally record or distribute music. It's a tough one.
The biggest shame will be if this site suffers. Basically it is probably the site that looks after the artists interest the best. Illegal stuff gets removed very quickly !!
Btw On a purely personal level, and because I enjoyed his sets so much in real life , I would dearly love to hear a recorded live set from him. But that is his choice , not mine.

nice, would like to see what he does with a headlining set
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
^^^ I've always thought his work was beautiful, but he was way more dance friendly than I expected him to be. :D

Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
Ain't that the truth! Still....BAN 'EM! :lol:
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
I choose to ignore people like that because they are not really adding anything to the topic. But yes a ban should be in order.

LMAO so you post the ILLEGAL SET that GUY J wanted removed???
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
I highly doubt thats the case Charlie, Gatz said he removed it to check on something
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
I didn't know that was the set - it's removed now.
[QUOTE=chuckc;869349]LMAO so you post the ILLEGAL SET that GUY J wanted removed???[/QUOTE]
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
^^^^ Is that the set that this thread was started for ??? I thought that was a discussion we had already had , and it was removed before ?? Btw most of that isn't even Guy J . It really pisses me off that these illegal sets keep doing damage !! [QUOTE=chanty;869276]I can't believe you all ignored this or am I missing something? Boy, have things changed around here! :lol:[/QUOTE] I didn't register it either , probably the same as others, automatically ignored because there was nothing of substance.
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
I registered it, I just chose to ignore the douche bag!.
Re: What's the deal with Guy J?
[QUOTE=Steve Graham;869351]I highly doubt thats the case Charlie, Gatz said he removed it to check on something[/QUOTE]
no that is the one. in hindsight i should have just pm gatz (sorry gatz)...obvisouly he didnt realize it....just thought it was wierd that infamous set was appearing considering what this topic was.
i think all this would go away if these damn labels would take a small royalty and let these artist release live sets commercially. such a shame they even screw with digweed when he wanted to release the vagabond set and he had to chop it way down becuase of these companies....wtf. really that is the reason some of these people are illegaly recording the sets.
u got to take care of the fanz somehow. alot of us in parts of the world dont have opptunites to see the djs we love becuase the djs may not come to the area where we live. and i am but sorry most commericially released studio albums usually are average at best.
can u imagine an 8 hour live john digweed or hernan cattaneo box set 6cd package commercially released . would be a major market for that.

And it's an excuse that gives the labels an even bigger excuse to do what they do. Illegally recorded sets are no good for us in any way shape or form. I'm beginning to think I am the only one that is happy with amount of music they get. :lol:
Btw I think it's really good that we are having these discussions.
