all the DJ's i know Tangles do live mixing....no pre-recorded crap.....

oh and steve there is another thing in the world of DJing is that you have to play to the crowd.....keeping people on the dance floor is what all the DJ's strive for.....you cannot just go from uplifting to hard banging beats in a matter of 2 -3 tracks....in the trance scene i know that if the main act playing from 12-2 is going to be a hard trance then the other acts from the start would play a lot harder uplifting tracks then slowly progress into the hard stuff

MC = Master of Ceremonies

Krishy, did you see Mike Foyle and Jon O'Bir at St Pauls a few weeks back?

They were amazing. Perfect set, kept on bringing out the tunes until management literally turned off the mains power at 6:15am haha. They just wanted to keep going and going!

Perfect venue for it, too. But they had a perfect set... kept everyone moving for hours on end. They had everything from techy trance to uplifting trance to a bit harder stuff. Was amazing!

And a decent crowd, too. At least 100 people there still at 6am cranking away.

[Krishy]

yep i was there for that....it was a awesome set, awesome night, fair few hotties too......i personally believed that management would have kept it going but i got told that their liquor license is what made then stop....sucks aye

I've never ever heard the term 'hype man'.

Every flyer that Australian clubs have for club events (not a hip hop/rap event) all have MC **** or whatever their stage name is. I've never seen something like 'Ryley with Hype Man Steve' playing tonight on a flyer...

in hip hop there is a distinction. the mc is a rapper and the hype man is the offsider who gets the crowed 'hyped up'

what u mention is the problem in itself - these tools think that just by holding a mic it makes them MC's - maybe they are by the dance scene but its the complete opposite when talking rap music...

dj's are another thing - simply spinning wax and mixing two together doesnt make a good dj.... dj krush and q-bert, mix master mike are all leagues ahead of anyone ive heard in any adelaide club - pity they only come rarely and usually play to a small crowd like the minke bar or the elephant

i agree, the music needs to be planned accordingly to flow.

however i saw Bass Kleph play, and he was the total opposite. mixing and matching up to 10 songs within a minute. sounds rediculous but was f**king awesome. very energetic.

Axwell is another one who throws a heap of shit together and makes it sound ace.

most good underground DJ's have gone all commercial on us....and have started to produce cheesy stuff....i prefer to listen to some good underground trance.....if i wanted to hear commercial stuff like they play at HQ or club 58 or any other club in that fact i would just stay home and listen to Nova.....i used to love David Guetta but after his "one love" cd i am not so interested in his beats that much anymore....on the other hand i could listen to awesome DJ's like Marcus Schulz all day long.....

Interesting..... I can not tolerate any of it unless I'm past half way (or further) cut and in a club.

thats quite common Krish, Look at Paul Van Dyk and Sander Kleinenberg - both produce some absolute cheese, but when they play - their sets are nothing close to what they produce for the radio. Sander for example plays great underground deep prog house sets - his set @ the last Future was fkn mint! blew me away

Although, I'd stay well away from a David Guetta live set - no excuse really, i've just never liked his stuff full stop.

If you're sick of commercial crap, you should be checkin' out the big underground name acts - Derrick Carter, M.A.N.D.Y, DJ T, Sasha, John Digweed - www.johndigweed.com <-- has a weekly recording of his radio show "transitions" - and if you can, see if you can download any of his Transitions mix CD's - all excellent imo; Richie Hawtin, Mark Farina, Metro Area, Dave Seaman, Sven Vath, Nick Warren, 20:20 soundsystem, Booka Shade... theres HEEEEEEAPS! And you gotta remember, with underground stuff - it needs to be played LOUD, and on a big sound rig - the shitter the sound system, the less interest to your ears!

[Krishy]

spot on there Luke.....what they produce and what their live sets are like are completely different....and yes you have to play this sort of music out loud on a bangin sound system other wise you might as well be listening to 20's folk songs

LOL power failure at work, all systems are now fkd. we just got net back but no intranet so cant really do much work here

[Luciano]

lol, thats it!

it all comes down to $$$$ at the end of the day. Producing underground sounds compared to commercial market sounds - you definitely know which producers are going to have the bigger bankrolls
