warping a tip for newbies
Did you just call all people who listen to funky house "Uneducated?" Were you trying in intone that progressive house is the only form of music that intelligent people listen to? Clear up what you really mean to say otherwise you are gonna come out looking like an ass.mood wrote:The track you like is probably groovemates oosh - remix which is bordering on funky house which half the brain dead musically uneducated population listen to these days. I put it on the cd cause it was a nice track to drop after building.
I think DJs should always put their best sets up for people to hear, not the filler set that they are required to play if they actually want to earn the opening slot title at the party.Anyway thanks for your opinion seth i realise that there is a couple of tracks towards the end where it plods but way out west - don't forget me makes up for it.
Djs really take themselves too seriously, and you seem like an alright kid, I probably know a hundred people probably just like you. People who need an artistic outlet, but don't have the skills/time/equipment to make their own music.
I was there, I spent a good eight years djing various styles of music (from deep house to detroit techno), during that time I was pretty convinced I was an artist.
DJs shouldn't take themselves so seriously, the fact that you are playing other people's records is reason enough to be humble, and not tout your own skills. If you had made every song in your mix then I wouln't be so harsh on your mix. But as it stands, the music is flat and cliche'.
After having listened to Nu-Perspective's music I would certainly not attach the prog label to it. However if this is where prog has gone, then I take anything back I might have said about it being bad. Here's a dude that know's his shit, anyone could learn something from listening to his mixes (even if he got the hyperlink wrong). Moody and seemless, without a hint of the ego that just overwhealms dj's of this genre these days. Very musical, I feel smarter for listening to it.

remember peeps a lot of these house music styles is aimed at providing an "experience" for people popping pills on a dance floor. I'm afraid most four on the floor electronica falls into the "you have to be high" to fully appreciate it category.
For them, in that moment, a few congas...some filtered loops...juno line and a couple of korg prophecy hpf swishes and they will be there all nite!
As for everybody else I don't know what their excuse is.

Seth how old are you? You come across as being full of regret because u never made it?
I've spent my life so far working towards achieving what i want to do as a dj/producer/musician. I have had alot of interest from people in the industry at what i'm doing and what i'm working towards. There are so many negative people like you in this world that are determined to have a dig at people who are trying to suceed. Why? Why should i have to answer for myself and to you? Why can't i play and produce my own style of music? Why can't i only like and be involved in one style of music?
If you don't like my set fair enough theres hundreds out there that wont and will say the same as you but there are also 2 so far that have offered me work because of it do u see what i'm saying? Of course i take what i'm doingseriously because i'm looking to make a living out of it.
I don't care if you think its boring house and if you've heard the same cd 1000 times before. The tracks i chose on that cd are the ones i wanted to express myself with at the time.
And for your information i have a full software studio along with my decks ect which is all i need.
I sometimes think to myself what sort of mentality do people like yourselves have is it jealousy? is it regret?
U know nothing about me seth don't try o force you're opinions and generalisations onto others.
And by the way the funky house comment was a dig at you cause i knew you'd thrive and get all excited replying back to it.
no doubt u'll enjoy replying to this as well!

One of seths previous posts
I spent the next few years in a general slump with music, I was DJing for a production company, but I couldn't find a voice in the music I was playing, it just seemed all a bit shallow to me. Then again I was playing a lot of tunes off of IHR, and other sort of cheesy house labels... I started to see the light later in my "DJ career" and was listening to a lot of detroit, and european techno, but unfortunatly it was too late. The DJ boom ended, and the music that was coming out was getting more and more amature. I guess thats when I started making music, at first with acidpro 2,0 (during my djing career). Mostly just loops and filters. Nothing really special or creative. About 1999 I started using reason, and went off on a bunch of masturbatory projects (mostly junky sounding house, nasty ugly amature with a big ego sort of stuff) Junk.
Then about 2 years ago I went through a bad breakup, got drunk every day and wrote tracks. I think the expressiveness of those tracks drove me to learn more about making them sound better, and since then I spend 3-8 hours a day working on some project.
I'd say what I make is considered "techhouse" or "detroittechno" by most. However I think the label limits the music.
I don't listen to very much music, I feel that if I listen to a lot of "techno" I would end up trying to imitate rather than find my own voice.
So currently the music on my computer is very minimal.
I think this somes you up really seth

On top of that you made a generalization yourself calling people who listened to funky-house braindead, and musically uneducated.
And so the internet troll emerges from its cave, welcome troll!And by the way the funky house comment was a dig at you cause i knew you'd thrive and get all excited replying back to it.

That is my opinions of you from what you have given me to go on here, but I am sure you are probably a pretty nice guy in real life, but you really come across as supersillious, and arrogant. Try to have real disscussions and defend your opinion in ways that aren't just aimed at getting the other person to act more stupid than you.
Seriously have you ever considered i MIGHT be right about one or two things? The older I get the more I realize that there is always more than one right answer, and that you have to find the truth that lies in between them.
