Upcoming DJ events in Phuket

[meandmyspam]

I go to see a DJ to DANCE!

not stand at the back nodding my head. Seriously, if I want to listen to a DJ i download a mix and do just that.

Dunno why they have these threads on here, everyone says they will go and then no-one bothers to turn up.

SOUND Phuket | News

 

[Kinomaru]

Well I went to Benny Benassi at Sound... wasn't impressed but it was very busy.

Aaron Ross was good at Stereo Lab last week.

Looking forward to Todd Terry!

When I was really passionate about electronic music, clubland, etc I used to talk often with people who felt that 'dance' music or DJ music just didnt appeal.. If you actually talk to them, find out what musical genres they do like, then select some appropriate mixes for them, very often the reaction is 'wow, I didnt know it would be like that'.

Theres hard styles and sounds for guys that appreciate the rock kinda energy (in fact these days rock crossovers and remixes of stuff like trent reznor have worked a style / genre all their own) then theres much softer things like Brian eno or the ambient sounds of something like Air / Moorchiba / etc which I think is sueforum.xxx tropical poolside music. Light dance and mellow hed kandi kinda sounds, funk or disco inspired sounds, gospel based house, vocal acapella and piano vibe, etc etc.

And to see a really good DJ work, who pulls the crowd in way, gets the flow right so the set has a build etc, that IS a performance, but its also more of a crowd DJ interaction and 2 way performance or performance with feedback perhaps.

I can also say that theres DJ's out there, with major names, that play styles of music that I too find flat of boring, 4 on the floor trance seems just dull to me, hard techno isnt for me either, but its a huge and varied amount of music that comes under the 'dj' banner.

If anyone sees Calvin Harris. Please, please, please punch that talentless loser on the nose!

 

[Rottie Momma]

Well said, I understand going for the music. I was under the assumption that that people were going to watch a dj perform, as in flip records or something. Put that way, i do think I would cross the street to enjoy the music.

cheers for the link....um..Linc

 

[Pompal 09.]

Understand, no offense but I guess he's a bit of a one-hit-pony.

 

[pjamies]

No no one does that.. Well actually there are some sad anoraks who do that, nicknamed trainspotters, often other DJ's watching technique (or guys who cant dance so do this to avoid it)..

A DJ performance is all about the music not about seeing the person.. Sure in mega clubs they are often put up somewhere visible, and a DJ wants to be able to see the crowd and crowd reactions as he works, but IMO people dont ever go to 'watch' a DJ only listen to or enjoy a DJ.

Some great links in there. Especially enjoyed this one. Always liked the funkier sound more than the “fluffier” house styles (whatever they are called these days).

SSRadio Funk and Disco
