Me its Squarepusher, that ones gonna be awesome I can feel it!

Hahaha....

Very good point

PS Sour I never said any of those things sorry lol...I said the Haitians should be more "PLUR" thats about it, go read the thread, there's no need to be making things up ;)

Well I forget my exact words but thats what I meant at the time.

I have since become friends with many Haitians, and most are actually very PLUR.

I blame the political situation over there

I said the Haitian community should be more PLUR, which is a GOOD thing

And I was right, the violence in Haiti was out of control at the time

Nothing wrong with that

You're right I never have.

So if you have something specific to mention to justify your allegation go ahead and mention it!

Dont hide behind a cheesy Nickelback quote to try to defend Basdini's actions. It makes you look just as bad as Basdini and continues to reinforce the idea that you and others on here are ok with bigotry.

Actually Steve ran a very good column, probably the best this city has ever scene.



Oh yeah, Basdini BTW, just so you know, you don't need to own a label, produce songs or go on tour to be a great dj, none of those things actually have any relevance whatsoever to the actual artform.

You really just have to be a great dj to be a great dj its that simple :)

But since you ask yes I have made a few tracks back in the day (which also makes me a producer haha! not that I really care, I never wanted to be a "producer", its pretty boring and unrelated to djing).

And yes I've played all over Canada, played in the US, played in Europe, played in Isreal and played in Africa.

Happy now! Hahaha....

Yeah something like that. The perception of this site is that its homophobic, mainly due to the actions of a few and the silence of many



I doubt you say "Whats up fag!" when you meet him. The same way I doubt you use the "n" word when you talk to your black friends who use it all the time with each other

You cant justify homophobia unfortunately, you can only speak out against it

I agree, you know its funny because I was actually talking to a few of my lesbian friends the other day and one of them mentioned how homophobic this site is, specifically mentionning Basdini

Its a real disgrace this place is seen as a place of bigotry, especially after all the LGBT community has contributed to building club culture.

Its a shame because most ravers I know arent bigots and I feel Basdini is putting a black eye on the whole rave community with his actions

A public apology is definitely in order

Lol...

PS Host there's is no way this guy is me, as much as I'd love to take claim for it

At 12:25 I was rocking a room full of babes at L'Assomoir in old montreal, you can call and check. The place was packed. There's no way I could have posted at 12:25 which is the time he posted

Further proof you guys have been wrong all along, I'm just enjoying the ride

Yeah its pretty hilarious the amount of attention I get on here

Lol...my latest mix IS a funk soul breaks mix you moron, just goes to show you dont have clue.

I'm actually one of the only local breaks dj who plays original funk soul breaks from the 70s so you have no idea of what you're talking about. BTW anyone who actually comes and hears me knows I am probably one of the most VERSATILE djs in this city. I literally play everything

And for your info I just finished playing for a room full of babes tonight and they all loved my set.

So its like they say, opinions are like assholes everyones got one. I'll just go with the babes and Steve Lalla's ;)

True

No it isnt. We've already proved that weeks ago.

Besides I have no reason to come on here and insult anyone, most people on here I know personally in real life.

You probably do lol...most of your friends are djs, even though you consider them to be mere "vinyl slingers" who should put up with your drunken behavior. Dont think people have forgotten your bashing of the dj artform over the years.

Interestingly enough you're also friends with many djs who do it for all the wrong reasons (Fame, drug dealing, following fashion and screwing people over)



Why would anyone even give a shit if you had a problem with it or not?

Your whole life consists of complaining. Its not like you're anyone special or a connaisseur, you're just some dude who showed up about a decade ago, bought a few beers and harrasses people at events

In my circles we refer to guys like you as "douchebags".



You're drunk out of your mind most of the time, I dont think you'd be able to tell the difference between a good dj and a bad one lol...

---------------------------------------

Personally I'll continue to do what I LOVE for all the RIGHT REASONS (love of music, making people happy) and obviously I'll continue to get paid for it which is completely normal and the right thing to do, continue to meet girls who enjoy what I do and I'll continue to stay ETHICAL and above all avoid doing cocaine which most djs in this city seem to endulge in.

So my advice to upcoming djs, always stay true to yourself and do it for the right reasons not the wrong ones and when you encounter an asshole like Masa, which does happen, just ignore him, and if he gets testy, just have him thrown out by security. They are there for that afterall ;)

Oh yeah big up Anima for starting this dj school! Its always great to see entrepreneurship. I wish you the best on your project, keep doing what you're doing :)

One thing I noticed with this guy is his constant use of the word "fag" as some kind of insult

Everything with him is "fag" this "fag" that, to the extent I'm almost convinced he's a closet homosexual

Am I wrong to assume this? Discuss...

Very true lol...



yeah like you would know. You've played a total of 3 gigs in your life, thats one more than Paris Hilton

For your information, you do meet a lot of girls, do get offered TONS of drugs for free, never pay to go anywhere, always end up on the guestlist, and yes if you're so inclined you can get your airfare paid for to go somewhere exotic if you feel like it.

Djing is hard work yes, but it does have its perks ;)

Not according to your mom lol...

Midget lol...That word always cracks me up

Stop lying dude

Hit the nail on the head :) Agree 100%



Yeah I agree on that one as well.

Experience makes a big difference. It takes years to actually LEARN about different styles of music, where they came from, how they evolved.

I think that makes all the difference. You put a 20 year old dubstep dj with a year of experience with all the latest dubstep tunes in front of a regular crowd of rockers and hip hoppers and they're lost.

You put a seasoned dj whose had over lets say at least 10 years experience rocking all types of crowds, he'll pull it off.

At the end of the day the mere act of beatmatching is not what make you a great dj (although many still wrongly believe it is the case), it is as you say what you select and how you programme it.

Or it might just be Basdini, he admitted to it, but I guess he was just lying

LOL...

Who are you Bob Marley? Quick go bang on a pot Masa! Your liberties are theatened!

Lol...

I'm with Grillaz, at least the guy can present some arguements in a intelligent manner

I have a feeling its Jesse Savage, cant be sure though, he wont divulge his indentity even to me (lol)

Im not sure if you still qualify as a little boy at 30, but sorry to hear the police made you cry

Considering your record though, you probably started it lol...

Lol...

Lol...

You are aware Rael is completely nuts and the leader of a cult, probably not the best guy to run a province

Lol...You have a point there buddy

One of the things I realized earlier on and ultimately ensures that I get at least one gig a week somewhere is versatility. I play a really wide range of good music instead of focusing on one particular style.

& Thank god for that, I can't imagine being stuck in Montreal's dnb scene, which is primarily populated by male djs and their welfare sidekicks (no offense to anyone ;)

Great we're making holocost jokes now

Lol...Basdini maybe if you can actually find me a dj thats been playing consistently every week for the past 16 years then MAYBE, and only maybe then will I consider your opinion ;)

Alex is actually a really tight dj who dosent play around, definitely one of the BEST dnb djs in Montreal if not the best (with the exception of Jordan and RCola) and I've actually been around long enough to make that statement.

He dosent get booked a lot for many of the same reasons I do, pure politics, nothing to do with skills.

Everyone knows you put either me or Host in a party we nuke everyone

What would you assume she's african?

Pretty RACIST if you ask me

Not true at all, I've schooled many djs over the years, some of which have gone on to become quite famous. In fact younger djs come ask me for advice all the time and I'm always ready to give them any insight I can provide.

No one cares, dont start your trolling bullshit again

This thread is a testament to the studipity that is rampant on this board

One for the books LOL.....

I can see where this thread is headed

for real

16 years and counting

I agree
