I know my shit as well, let's start out with your age? I'm 36 and have been around in the edm scene since its inception, {see frankie bones origional storm parties and primary color parties in new england}. Long before it was even called a "rave", me and my friends were setting up speakers in warehouses and lofts, tossing baby powder on the floor and slaying beats. i'm as old school as they come.
The fact you even bring up trance is conversation viod immediately, who the fuck likes or listens to trance? shits fucking ghey as can be. armin van burthefuck? really, again conversation is void.
Now on to this, do you even own a set of tables, cdj's? really, do you even know how to match a beat? something tells me ya don't son.
and as far as learning my shit? lol. I've opened up and embaressed so many pro dj's and producers in my career its not even funny, harmonic key mixin, effect and eq layering, pitch mixing is in my back pocket.
if you wanna talk articles, see dj sneaks in rolling stone in which he slays all these milli vanilli fools. I believe deadwigger5 was on the cover.
Remember when Sneak called Swedish House Mafia "DJ actors"? A couple of months on, and he's gone a bit further. In a recent interview, DJ Sneak has said the DJ trio are "manufactured like Coca-Cola" and are "vandalising and bastardising" house music.
He said: "While I do this for love and homage to the music and DJing craft, they constantly figure out ways to make it the most commercial noise they can make. Their main focus for creating is to make some hit, it is not about creating something original and soulful, it’s about following the calculated steps to come up with a hit for the purpose of their own success.
"They measure success by spending ridiculous amounts of money paying their way to the top. But they are not the first ones. Tiesto was a master at creating the super DJ brand, with big budget marketing, financial support, and a well managed team. So called DJ/ producers like Avicci, David Guetta, Afrojack must all be down with the same fabricated manufactured DJ superstar manual because they are all doing it the same way, often supporting each other to become bigger better brands.
"They are clearly manufactured like Coca-Cola.
"Listen to the classics, look back at the history. If you’re going to start making or playing house music, educate yourself and second respect the sound. They need to take a good look at themselves and realise that they are the worst thing that has ever happened to this music industry.
"We built this house a long time ago, these newcomers just like to vandalise it by bastardising the music to become some kiddie pop genre."
trance is this.
