Djing is hard work yes, but it does have its perks ;) Reposted for lulz. |

| Coolness: 129680 | Interesting articles on djing:
[ www.inthemix.com.au ] A very common topic that has surfaced a lot recently – not only in my office, but also with other promoters – is who to book talent wise. I’ve put myself in a unique position as I’m promoting my own events with my J00F Editions concept. When I program an event, I choose talent who can actually DJ. I want a DJ who I can trust to read the crowd and change accordingly. This keeps my vision intact of how the event unfolds musically and how and when it will reach its crescendo, thus keeping the dancefloor interesting throughout the whole evening. It’s unfortunate that we have all come to the same conclusion that this list of true DJs is now becoming very, very short. Over the past decade the scene seems to have split in two: in one camp we see ‘entertainment/producer DJs’ and in the other we find the ‘traditional DJs’. From my first-hand experience of playing alongside entertainment/producer DJs, I’ve had to rescue many nights as they didn’t have the skill nor the tools of a DJ to read the crowd and change to the circumstances presented to them. Producers/entertainment DJs are the equivalent of bands touring. When you go to see Muse, U2 and so on, you expect them to play all their hits you’ve heard on their albums. It’s part of the experience seeing them in the flesh playing the songs you truly love. Producers fit firmly in this camp. They have massive followings and fans go crazy seeing them play live. They replace keyboards with decks, as it’s much easier for them to tour this way, so they become DJs. I’ve had to rescue many nights from entertainment DJs who didn’t have the skills to read the crowd and change with the circumstances. They are performing mini-concerts to concert-esque crowds, to fans constantly holding cameras, singing songs. Producers will play just one style of music, mainly their own ‘hit’ productions and music from their own label groups. They are marketing machines pushing their own brand. Their own sound. The focus is on genre branding. They are there to outshine any other act around them and become man of the match. This is the exact same way bands and the pop world work, but also what makes them great entertainers on stage due to the ever increasing pressure of competition around them. Entertainment DJs are a million miles away from the regular world of traditional DJs. I personally don’t know one traditional DJ who just plays one sound; they have a record bag full of all styles of music in order to be able to deal with any situation presented to them. Our audiences are completely different too. They want to get on the dancefloor with their heads down and dance. They want to be stimulated by new music that’s cleverly programmed. Good DJs get a natural ‘feeling’ of when to make energy shifts on the dance floor ensuring that we keep the floor busy and interesting. We spend hours searching for music. These are our tools for the job of making these energy shifts. When I play a DJ set, I’ll go through all styles of music; deep, dark, hard, uplifting, classics, and so on. These are my tools to give you an emotional ride. My sets are like an audio version of a thriller movie, with twists and turns. You never quite know what the ending is, so it keeps you on the edge of your seat all through the ride. We’re storytellers. |

 Coolness: 30800 | That's actually a great article, and to the point. Producers are great, but when I'm on a dancefloor, I trust a DJ more. The thing is, since producers are DJs now, its like the art is getting lost. I'm not hating on producers, but there's clearly a confusion out there with too many ''live acts'' consisting of the guy DJing only his own tracks.
I'll take Function as an example of a great techno DJ. When he came at the Mutek after party, he made a set going in all directions: techno, acid techno, house, breaks, dark, banging, smooth. It was amazing. On the other hand, take a Max Cooper live act. It doesn't get any lamer than this. I once was a fan of early Max Cooper tracks, but I don't get why I should endure a 2 hours live act of it. I'd kill myself before. It's always on the same emotion, same energy level, same structure, same trademark going on and on and on. Maybe thats why a DJ school is relevant. |

Well most producers LIKE TO BELIEVE they're djs, but we all know producing has nothing to do with djing Its one of the biggest scams of the past 10 years, producers walking around thinking they're above djs when it fact its just the opposite they are the worst djs ever. Its like "Oh yeah Im playing my own songs" Who gives a fuck! It not like you're performing live, you're just a producer masqurading as a dj at the end of the day! We really need to go back to keeping the 2 seperate. |

 Coolness: 106075 | Without producers, your record crate would be empty. you should show a little respect.
The funnyest thing is that most dj's will readily take credit for the songs they bough or ripped on line. |

I am not disrespecting the art of producing in any way. My comment is directed at producers who walk round acting like they are "djs" when they arent and try to use it as a twisted logic to put down the artform of djing. Its not neccessary, they are 2 seperate things. Secondly you can produce all you want, its the djs who ultimately make or break your songs. We decide if its "good enough" to be played or weather another song would be better. When I play an Aphex Twin song for example I am saying to people, "hey guys, this is an artist worth checking out and worth purchasing" so at the end of the day its a win win situation for both parties. Lastly I'd never dream of taking credit for a song, but if for example I was the first dj to play a certain sound, like lets say nu skool breaks which I was playing since Freeland put out his first tune in 1998 (the remix of little fluffy clouds which is credited as being the first nu skool breaks tune ever made) when no one else was touching that music in this city, I will definitely take credit for "breaking" that sound into the city because I was the first guy to actually play it. Like take dubstep for example, the first guys to really play dubstep in Montreal as far as I know were Sase One and Kiffah. I would give them both credit for "breaking" that sound in this city, even though one is a producer and the other isnt. Mise À Jour » Blisss a écrit sur Thu 19 Jul, 2012 @ 3:14am PS This is some music I produced with a friend of mine.
[ www.myspace.com ] I never released any of this stuff, never looked to make any money off of them, they really were just made for fun, so no need to bash ;). I'm posting this to show that I am aware of what it takes to "produce" and I can safelty say that at no point did it have anything to do with doing an actual "dj" set. |

 Coolness: 24930 | producers play shows because it's the only way to make money. Most electronic music fans would rather spend all their money on drugs and pirate music. |

| Coolness: 30800 | Too. Pirate drugs too. It would all about getting high on music and all dying of starvation under the light of drugs and music. Thinking about it, I'm sure it would be a little lame to end that way maybe but I'm sure we wouldn't really care anymore so it might be a beautiful dream after all. Who knows. Because DJ's would be too high to mix the music properly so it might become a really sketchy worldwide party. Still better than the Apocalypse according to the Bible. |
