I make good cake to throw into the crowd....okay no I can't even do that.

lol

Pretty subjective question these days. What makes a good song? Personal preference. What makes a good cake? Again preference. My dad likes key lime. I prefer chocolate.

Whatever floats your boat.

Pretty vague answer. What floats your boat?

Also..personal preference is the focus of this thread

I like DJs that mix up their genres.

I like some scratching. No scratch == subpar DJ. At the right times of course, no overdoing it.

I like it when Djs mix a bit differently...cut shit in, epic slow long blends, and quick mixes all have their place. Dislike when DJs simply do vanilla a-b mixing all night.

I like it when DJs play with a track, loop shit up and get creative. On the fly remixing or mash it up live. Less pre-production, more doing it in front of me on stage.

I enjoy Djs that take chances.

I like this.

Except for the no scratch=sub par DJ. There are some CRAZY good techno DJs that never scratch...I guess it all depends on the genre.

Yeah, I dislike most techno / house / electro, but I could see how fans of the genre wouldn't agree.

:)

7. I create a thread on a DJ forum putting down other DJs' claims.


nm

Not every DJ shares those claims.

And..definitely not putting down...just giving my point of view.

You sure did.

Jeeze..you're all so sensitive.

How so?

Thanks! Nothing can replace or make-up for years of experience on the decks.

Another day, another dumb new user.

*yawn*

Absolutely! Honestly, I envy that kind of experience behind the decks.

LOL...dumb because I'm curious to know people's opinions?

I am not putting anyone down. I am simply giving my point of view on arguments that happen all over the internet. If you have a point, it's very valid and I respect it. However, respecting your point doesn't always mean I will agree with it...just like I don't expect anyone to agree with my views.

Come on man...can't we all be grown ups and have a friendly discussion?

You make want to start all over again with your grown up thread then.

How about this:

Post a video or a mix of what makes YOU a good DJ.

Then, we will talk all grown up.

Lol..easy there, tough guy.

Stop misinterpreting my intentions...I'm assuming you're one of those 40+ yr old DJs that talk a lot of shit, judging by your butt-hurtness. Did some of my comments hit home, bro?

I'm actually 39, if you care to know what age I am. I'm assuming you're looking for a date. But, sadly for you, I'm not gay. So, you may think about looking elsewhere.

Now, I believe YOU are the one getting all bent out of shape because WE have in fact pointed how stupid your thread sounds. The most obvious one is this one.

You said,

"people always find a way to talk shit"

and DJMark said,

" You sure did. "

Now, the name of the thread is What makes YOU a good DJ? Well, I asked you to post a video or a mix of what makes YOU a good DJ and you basically backtracked.

So, here we are. Square One.

:)

nm

Lol..a gay joke...you sure act 39.

The thread is not "hey, let's post videos and mixes to judge skill". I am simply asking people what makes them better than everyone else.

I have never stated that I am better than anyone, nor have I mentioned that my skill is superior to anyone else :) I would consider myself...average at the most. With that being said, I have mad respect for anyone and everyone with skill..you will never hear me bashing anyone due to their skill.

I don't agree with a LOT of arguments that are thrown all over the internet. Some of which I gave my point of view on. Again, judging from your butt-hurtness, these comments must have hit home to you and to the other butt-hurt you quoted.

Lord have mercy

I'd like to add...

7. "I'm new at the game, super young and only been doing it a few years, but golly my electro-brohausync sound is fist-pumpin-FRESH! "

lol

Oh I see. So you want to talk about what makes US a good DJ but you cannot answer your own question? That's lovely.

If you're assuming I'm butt hurt by your posts, you better think again.

If you can't simply answer your own question, I don't know what that to tell you.

nm

Fuck attention-whores.

"That's all, I'm done."

But I just said...I am not good...lol

Lol...bunch of butt-hurt tough guys around here...jeezus.

So, what's the purpose of this thread again?

I want to gain experience and knowledge from you old-skoolers. I wanted tough guys like you to come out and bash the new generation. I want to know what makes a good DJ GOOD, so I can work on those things and someday be like all of you.

said the VJ who plays "Jump Around" lol.

some of the reasons you have already dismissed before anyone could comment.

like what makes you a good basketball player

experience
you got bad knees

dunk skills
those arent necessary to score points.

im a great passer
but can you score in the post? if not who cares.

thats kind what it sounded like to actual djs

Mr. Goodkat and I don't agree on many things... but yup. That sums it up quite nicely.

nm

Fixed it for you

Hey man, your ass is bleeding.

experience, you know what rocked crowds in the past, whats played out, what works from 10-20 years ago with new stuff, how to conduct yourself, how not to blow up soundsystems, etc.

you dont have to be 45, many djs even back in the days guys started from early teens to late teens, you could be 30 and have 10-12+ years of IN THE CLUB, PAID GIG, 2-5 hr set experience.

so when you said that initially you looked like a punk.

esp to people that have been djing for 20 years.

i could go on but

You are absolutely right, and I apologize. It was meant towards the people that have been doing it for that long and automatically discard any credibility from someone who has been doing it 5-10yrs. For those old-skoolers that talk mad shit to DJs who are only 20-25 yrs old with above average skill. Old folks who talk shit about the new generation's musical taste and are completely close minded about some REALLY good stuff out there.

I guess I should have been a bit more detailed.

Can u show an example of this? Because most of the "shit talking/hating" ive seen/heard is true for the most part.

Its usually the butt-hurt divas who cant handle the truth and they tend to bitch and rant and start threads like these.

And by the way ive been djing since 2001(age 17)...and have gained a ton of knowledge from the guys who have 20+ years in the game. Instead of crying about what they had to say... i actually pulled up a chair, listened and took notes.

Heh heh heh.

Thats was a good comeback.

Again, you seem adamant about trying to insult me.

If you can't handle constructive feedback over your over the line thread, then you shouldn't be here. Believe me, I can come down hard on you - but I choose not to. Perhaps is this old age that's telling me that it's better not to sink to your level.

I would suggest you do what others have suggested, take notes, and shut the fuck up.

nm

What makes ME a good DJ?

1. Experience - Not measured in years but in the types of events and the amount of events I've done. I'm qualified to do radio mix shows, concerts, record release parties, weddings, quinceañeras, sweet sixteen parties and just about any type of private party you can throw at me. Any person in any profession can just sit back, relax, let the years go by and claim experience but it doesn't really work that way.

2. Dedication - It comes from my passion to the art of DJing. I don't take any gig lightly. I prepare for it because when I agree to something, I'm dedicated to it 100%.

3. Improvisation - I come prepared to every gig by figuring out what's necessary to get the job done. If I believe the in-house equipment isn't up to par, I will bring my own. If there's a problem, I know how to troubleshoot just about anything and I will make the gig happen. Again, this experience helps on this too but I will improvise if I need to.

4. Knowledge of music - You best bet that if I take a gig, I will know what to play. I can also read a crowd very good and I'm a freestyle DJ, so you will see me adapt to the situation as the minutes pass by. My knowledge of music is extensive - but I don't take anything for granted so....

5. I Know When To Say No - You best believe I won't take a gig if I don't feel can handle it for whatever reason. Perhaps the money isn't right. Or, maybe I'm just not the right DJ for the event. Knowing when to say no can save you from performing poorly and ruining your reputation.

6. I put up or shut up. I've been known to battle cats even though I'm not really a battle DJ. But, if you put my skills to the test, I will not back down even if I think I may lose. Why? Because it takes a good DJ to get in front of a stage and give it his best. You want to command respect and respect is earned.

7. I'm willing to teach the next generation of DJ's - Over the years, I've been known to teach what I preach. I've had several DJ's under my wing and I've taught them as much as I could - but I have always taken things seriously and I have expected them to do the same.

8. I shut up and take notes - No matter what, there will always be someone better than you. So, there are times when your best bet is to shut up and take notes. Yes. I can do that. ;)

?????
1) Was this directed at me?
2) what's wrong with djing with video?
3) what's wrong with playing jump around by house of pain?

AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST PEOPLE WITH EXPERIENCE. I admire them and learn from them lol. BUT there are a LOT of old-skoolers who hate hate hate simply because one doesn't have as many years of experience as they do...if you deny this hate towards the younger generation, then you are obviously a fool and need to learn how to internet

lol..come at me bro.

THIS, FUCKING THISSSSS

Now was that too hard?? All that butt bleeding for nothing. I like ALL of your points and agree with them 100%.

Big ups on #7...we need more old-skoolers with THAT mentality

lol. Not even gonna get into this one.

I don't understand your fascination with butt bleeding... and I don't. want. to. know.


lol

nm

literally lol'd.

LIke i said...





The one thing about me.... if something is true, i cant/wont deny it...... Everytime i see someone bitching about how old timers are "hating".... its usually the case of the old timer teling the truth...

I'm interested in hearing some examples

U r the one claiming that older djs are hating on younger djs... so the burden of proof lies on you.

Show me an example of older djs hating on younger djs...

Oh come on...that's easy...too many examples

I want to know of some of the hating that in your opinion, is true.

Too many examples? Then it should be easy to show one.

MUst not be that easy cuz u r stallin

If u r gonna talk shit...at least be able to show some evidence to back it up.

Nm

Lol..sorry some of us have a hot wife that needs attention too.

Go to Djs on blast..look up examples yourself. I've been arguing with you clowns since like 9am lol

Hot wife getting no action?

^backfired thread hall of shame ----> /thread

Lol..well, I do have a day job.

More like backfired account hall of shame. He's getting clowned in every thread

Shiiiiiiit..I'll be back bright and early tomorrow :) No worries.

Alright.. I wasn't going to say anything but now I must.

I asked for a mix or video and you didn't comply. Now, I don't care about that. Picture of said hot wife or it isn't true. hahaha

nm

says this:

and this:


but yet continues and anticipates responding to us "clowns":


smh... yeah i was right, you are one of the those divas who cries about older dj's "hating" on them. and this thread was a feeble attempt to do just that....

i found her: www.bypassfanpages.com

Watchwww.youtube.com

old or young, doesn't matter. what matters is who you leave with at the end of the night.

I'm back you old fucks. Missed me?

I don't get it.

/thread

huehuehuehue

Man...I thought we were cool now.

I get more ass than a toilet seat.

hahaha

nm

nm

I'm sure all that pop and "EDM" gets you mad booty. LOL

EDM...lol

what's Lol, about EDM? Your thread has strayed from asking for tips on what makes a good dj to discussing bleeding ass holes and knocking the biggest music movement at the moment. I don't even see point of reading this anymore, aside from all the popcorn being provided, which I guess is enough.

"Biggest music movement at the moment".

LOL.

Welcome to the internet, you must be new here...

Well acutually it does lol nm nh

Pics of gtfo

Please then, tell me what is bigger than House,progressive,electro,trap etc at the moment? Certainly not hip hop, swing music, jazz, top 40? Maybe, but I don't think top 40 artists are having crowds of 80k at the moment, correct me if I'm wrong though. And funny you should ask Bezzle for pics when you were asked for pics of you "hot wife" and you completely ignored that.

Seriously, stop feeding already.

What's with all the new kids on the block coming straight out of pocket these days?

Either good troll is good or new dj is bad...not sure yet. IMMADBRO!

What makes a good dj? How one stands out from the rest and having his/her own style. Unique, creativeness, stays on the grind, not afraid of stepping away from the norm......

This thread is dumb and was nothing more than a bait to get people to feed your delusion. Your first post screamed snob and elitist attitude. You yourself are probably a youngin that got clowned by some vets or djs that were more experienced than you.

After reading this thread from you and others, I can tell you A. you are a keyboard warrior that takes out his frustrations and shortcomings via internet and B. even though you didn't deserve it, others gave you some pointers and you had the nerve to come in and say " I'm back you old fucks. Missed me?"

This screams troll

That's why I said "Seriously, stop feeding already."

LOL...TRAP..he said TRAP guys.

Traps huge right now

o rly?

just to feed the troll, what are you going with here. obviously you have things figured out, so point us in your direction.

Skrillex, TARP, and dubstep bruh. Sync sync sync and jump around like cray. YOLO SWAG. #Mixtrack4life

making fun of dubstep and trap is like making fun of ed hardy and affliction, its been done and really isnt all that funny anymore.

now had you done that in 11, you would have been marginally funny.

anyway, lets guess what luis likes, cuz its gonna come down to tech house/minimal tech(which is what i would guess) or bass/club music. your too young in your thinking to like disco or classic house(or you used to like that when it was big in blog land) and you dont seem to be a hip hop type(you care too much about what you dont like and havent brought it up at all). I dont think club because it has too many pop influences and is kinda basic type music.

my outside shot is garage/bassline because disclosure is so hott right now.

so which is it?

- side note - you also hate the new duck sauce with a passion.

tl;dr

huehuehuehue

lol

herro

come on guise

just a serious question.

being serial here....

Corn Flakin bro!

thats why we keep telling you hardwell and edm bros are garbage. we dont want to have to know we birthed some idiots.

replygif.net

because he has a great pr team around him that have handled other artists similar to him and have pr hook ups and pay to be on that list.

you realize #1 is an arbitrary number. its like being People magazines sexiest man alive. there is not metric for sexiness or best dj.

Well said.

I've been agreeing with you too much lately. lol

nm

Wasnt pauly d nominated on that list as well....

what does that really mean? does that mean he's popular or good?

You seem to be confused on the difference between a dj and a producer

"DJ Magazine" polls...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


and I thought this thread had gotten as dumb as possible over two years ago...

I remember a time when I was almost this fanatical about Public Enemy & Masters At Work...

Those were good times.

</reminisce>

This is pretty special, you'd swear it was Hardwells' mother getting offended because people are trying to bully her son.

WTF is a Hardwell?

ouch. LMAO

Cool...so what qualities make hardwell the #1 dj?

.....

*pulling up chair and reclining back with legs crossed sipping on a lemon-lime Four Loko with sprite. Has a feeling ish is about to get interesting*

ok ok we get it...

I personally think DJs Mix Master Mike and Chris Karns are the best in the world. I have a hard time looking at Hardwell as a DJ. More like a pop synth artist. Which is not a bad thing. I'm sure his pay check looks pretty good.

I refer you to my earlier post

Gee, ya think? But the real question is how to get djmag to come to your bedroom to listen to a set

You know he has an intern running that twitter page right?


.


Ya, he knows its bullshit to

this post was stupid as fuck. why i replied because im also stupid as fuck :0 truth be toldith. now lets really ge down to the nitty. all you experienced dj's 20+ in or w.e the case may be. send some knowledge down my way. an dont hold this shit out. real rap. pm

not everyone wants to be a 'star'. dj'ing is not about being a 'star'.

Can I ask how old you are?

Because you come across like a 14 year old getting annoyed that people don't like the same things you do.

I was gonna guess between 16 and 19 given my own experiences with "hero w worship". Once you're older and 3 years doesn't constitute over 1/6th of your lifespan you won't think those ages are so far apart.

The age gap between me and my wife is bigger than that. lol.

DJ Kid You are so funny. Your as close to being old enough to drink in a bar as you are to middle school. Nothing wrong with Hardwell. If you like Hardwell then good for you. I like to run long distance and listen to a lot of high energy "edm" while I run. Its fun. But don't allow your young age "immaturity" and ignorance to blind you. Hardwell is McDonalds. A lot of people love McDonalds, Millions and Millions served daily but that does not change the fact that McDonalds is shit. I love McDonalds but I completely understand, with my eyes wide open that it is shit. It wouldn't make a bit of difference if McDonalds were placed on a list of top 100 restaurants. I would know that it was and will always be shit (even though I really enjoy their Jalapeno double cheeseburger). Still shit. So the question you need to answer is would you like a milk shake and a side of fries with your Hardwell?

Well played.

On certain nights I am quite possibly the best DJ in the world. Playing some little club/pub with crappy sound system and almost no lights. People just hanging out, not expecting much of anything. Songs range from bangers to obscure club classics, multiple Genres mixed seamlessly in an ever increasing energy level. Move to end of night, more people on dancefloor than standing around the club, energy through the roof, people having a great time. People walk out at closing time disappointed it all had to end so soon, still singing the last song I played. I crushed it, using experience, passion, technical & programming talent to make their lives better and memorable for a night. This is what you live for as a DJ, this is where the passion lies. No Tiesto, Hardwell, or any other EDM mega star playing festivals is at my level on those nights.

I really watched around 5 to 10 minutes of that thing and didn't see him nudge or turn the jog wheel one time.

*shrug*

I know. I get it.

I like...Don't feel the need to like...scratch either. Its totally not my thing.

Even when you blend you have to nudge. I didn't see him touch the pitch sliders either. Just filter here. ..effect there. I did see him move the upfader though.

I scrolled through more of the video, and still nothing.

It is complicated to get good at scratching. Takes years in fact. Luckily for you, I think Hardwell has developed a scratch knob/button. No actual scratching experience or skill needed. You just push or twist and you sound like you have been practicing in your bedroom for decades. But you don't have to use it if its not your thing but its cool that its like...there if you want to.

In other words you dont know how

lol, yup I nailed it!! Ive come to learn that when EDM djs say things like "i dont need to scratch" "edm djs dont scratch" or "my crowds dont want me to scratch" what they are really sayin is "its hard and I dont want to actually put effort into learning"

If serato or pioneer ever add an easy scratch button your going to see all of these edm "scratchings dead I dont need to cause noone likes it" turn into qbert wannabees overnight

So the only part that takes practice and talent. ..gotcha

watch some craze or shifty vids and get back to me on that

This thread delivers

Can the 'EDM' fad just hurry up and die already.

Im more ready for this 50 bpm sleep mumble hiphop fad to be over with

Oooooohhhhh like....Burnnnnnnnn.

You could probably do to look at the history of popular music.
These things are almost always a cycle.

It will always be around, but at some point all the huge festivals and the "DJs" that play them (I use the term DJ loosely in this regard) will fade away.

Seriously. Buy the book 'last night a DJ saved my life'

DJ KidX - Your posts are extremely hard to read and comprehend. In your 17 years of schooling, have you ever heard of punctuation or capitalization? You're using the ellipsis (...) incorrectly. The "stream of consciousness" approach to your writing is not working very well. You may want to brush up on your grammar as well as your scratching.

Secretly, a Serato employee is having fun aggravating forum users under the username "DJ Kidx".

There is so many things wrong with this that are clearly not even worth getting into.
Let me just give you a " told you so" you can save for a few years and remember when the time is right.

Had enough. Done with you. You are clearly not a dj. don't know how to dj but your in love with the idea of becoming hardwick some day and making it on the zack efran top 10 fist pumping, jesus posing producers who mascaraed as djs list and when you do, you will be as irrelevant to djs then as Hardwick is to us now.

Will just say this once more and I'm done.

Have a look into some basic history of music. And again, pick up the book I mentioned previously.
If you think the genre that is currently the hot thing right now (aka the marketing department of record labels is pushing it as hard as possible to the sheep) will never fade. You're just showing your age.
The music industry is predictable in the way it works, never underestimate the marketing department.

If you think EDM is immune. You're blind.
End of story.

yall are getting trolled so hard. jfc

Probably.
If that is the case though, it's sadly accurate of many people I've met.

Either a troll or a sheep that is trying to become a herder.

This is the sad truth

Do you even know what that means lol

....so these are your real opinions your using to troll?

You know its not trolling when your giving your real opinion and people laugh at you ...right? The goal in trolling is to make OTHER people look dumb, not be the but of the joke yourself

Hahaha. What a dumbass.

nm

I have to admit, it's sometimes funny to read the writings of someone who displays absolutely zero perspective.

Well, that was fun. NEXT...

Full of shit. Not a troll. He just doesn't have an argument.

Take some cake. You will need it kid.

i like that you said this then kept the conversation going lol

....your still talk talking

And by cake you really mean penis. A "hard & well" penis.

Really?

Honestly I couldn't tell, since you haven't pissed off a single person..in fact everyone you've come in contact with is laughing their ass off having a good time lol

I can't stop laughing.

Oh snap! lol

That's a very typical problem for DJ's. Finding a way to get contacted...Especially by people you see and spend time with regularly. Its daunting...Your def going to need to get super uber famous. Then they will know how.

Mabye hes a ghost!

Nah, Ghost are scary not really fucking annoying...

Lol

You should join the cheerleading squad. Football players love skirts!

^^^^ THIS!! x1000! lol

And the cry-sounding rapping these "yung/young" guys are doing today. Sounding like somebody took their lollipop and they're "rapping" (or really talking) about it horribly.

Please indulge us. We'll help you out, promise.

Fun fact, Sfxe, the corporation responsible for this trend, filed bankruptcy last week. Stock isn't worth $1. Say buh bye to them.

Knowing when to play "Shout". :-P

lol

bahahahahaha

I hadn't seen this till now, interesting development.

Chapter 7 or 11?

Doesn't really matter. There is enough of a market for someone else to come in and take over where Sfxe lelft off, if they actually go away. If they are just restructuring debt it might give them the ability to go on much longer. Either way DJ kid will have many more years of Hardwell making him hard.

lmao

Im not trying to offend you. Your "fandom" for Hardwell is cute. You should write him an "Im your greatest fan letter". You never know what kind of doors that might open for you. He might even send you a poster that you can hang in your room. My son used to think that Clifford the Big Red Dog was the greatest thing ever. Watched every episode, wanted to meet Clifford. Nearly freaked the fuck out for Clifford on Ice. Its like that. Haardwell is your favorite Tele Tubbie and no one is going to change your mind. Cute....
How was school today? Was the food good in the cafeteria? Oh, it was Mac and Cheese day....yum. Finish your homework and then you can listen to your Hardwell. Some day your infatuation for Hardwell might seem silly...Oh wait, I almost forgot...Your a troll.

*****sidenote****** Those cafeteria hamburgers were da bomb!

Please continue.

The ones with the green patties? Yup! Strange but so good.

No, green patties mayne.....

Lmao

I did.

Good luck with that... there are dudes giving other dudes s#it about stuff that happened in 2009 on here.

The more you respond, the more it will continue.

Watchwww.youtube.com

I am just having a good time and you are definitely fodder for the fire. I don't think I have been disrespectful to you, sarcastic yes but isn't this exactly what you want if your a troll? Your supposed to be sitting back somewhere drinking Mai Tais with Hardwell having a good laugh at how you really got those djs in the Serato forum to go crazy over your post. Maybe you're not a troll then…I will give you one last piece of advice although I think this is probably dying down anyways, but if you stop commenting it will die sooner. See you tomorrow kidd!

just listen to this ...and then re-think those Hardwell choices....

soundcloud.com

Your 15 seconds are up Kidd. Your getting boring now. Time for a new forum if you want to continue this thread...

Man, that's the funniest shizz I think I have ever read.

Hardwell? Really?!?

I could keep this going. But I'd rather just say/drop this. At least listen to the first 5-10 minutes.

www.soundcloud.com

I tried this already...we pretend he listened.....

*he ....

LMAO, Hardwell or Martin Garrix.....man, have you got a lot to learn.

Okay, since you don't care about turntablists or Hip-Hop in general, I will respond based on the type of music you do care about, EDM (or what I simply call Dance Music).

Hmm, great DJs who are also stellar producers?

Eats Everything
DJ Marky
Calyx & Teebee (separately and together)
Mala
Claude VonStroke
Bonobo
Marco Carola
Catz n' Dogz
Will Saul
Hot Since 82

....and that's just off the top of my head.
Explore deeper, KidX....there is a wide, wonderful world outside of mainstream EDM.

The irony of making a comment about "you have to know music" ......

If you think all of those dj's on that list are hip-hop, it probably means you only listened to the first one.

....I fail to see why there even needs to be any kind of thing to "vote for best dj" at all.
If you haven't realised...nobody (and this includes a lot of people on the list) really takes it seriously.

wow

I am hired over others in my area strictly by word-of-mouth and have eclectic taste in music. I also show up early and have a professional, fun, no B.S. attitude and work ethic.

The end. ;)

No.

They do that because they are playing (mostly) a pre-recorded mix which is synced to effects, pyro, fireworks, lazers etc.

If they were actually "doing" half the stuff that you hear at EDC/Tommorrowland(world) or whatever your chosen festival is, then they wouldn't have time to stand on the DJ stand/throw cake/fist bump at the drop/make jesus pose/heart hands or whatever their signature move is.

If you don't believe that then you are rather deluded. Hardwell has made some good tracks (assuming he even made them and they aren't from a ghost producer - oh how slanderous!) - but with all the synced pyro shit going on ANYONE could stand there and press play and make it look like they are DJing. Big name DJ's have actually admitted to using pre-recorded "parts" of sets, personally I'd be very surprised if it wasnt all pre-recorded...

Once again you are confusing djs and producers

Wow, it is soooooo fun(ny) reading your responses. Best entertainment I've had all week.
Thank you, KidX.

An impressive feat indeed

Hey, hey HEY....

We enforce copyright rules here....

This kid is definitely a troll...

I don't like EDM in general and I am mostly into real records and old school genres.

But I ride for DJ KidX!

They try to hate but he can't be stopped.

This is just good stuff.

It is....I mean really...lol.

Yeah, I have a tune that uses that sample too, only without the vomit inducing Dutch House....

youtu.be

As for tunes that describe how I feel about Dance Music......this about sums it up -

youtu.be

"It's sad... In the 20th century, in the 1990's we have to still go the same bullshit route that other artists have to go to get acceptance. If it wasn't for the independents, if it wasn't for the small little cities, and the few little ghetto guys trying to make music it would have never happened. Some of these guys will never make a dime. Some of these guys will be poor and die alone. But in the process, they've been the true renegades. And the true rebels always walk alone anyway."

LOL, then you clearly didn't listen to most of the artists I listed for you.

Do these sound "relaxing", lololol?

Eats Everything - youtu.be
Dj Marky - Watchwww.youtube.com
Calyx & Teebee - Watchwww.youtube.com
Mala - Watchwww.youtube.com (bad audio, but it's hype!)
Claude VonStroke - youtu.be
Marco Carola - youtu.be
Catz n Dogz - youtu.be

Damn, son.....is that how you research all new artists?!? Pfft!
iTunes, really?!?


I have to know......how old are you?

17! Been discussed...Its apparent right?

......where are you from?

Well, a city can't be Mexican (in the USA). People can be Mexicans though lol

nm

Kinda strange they keep on bringing in out side djs when they have you right there huh...perplexing. Seems like you have the dj thing down pretty well. Maybe its time to focus on school. Start with English class...

Its difficult to read.

*It's

:D

Someone light a match and burn this thread down.

This is gold....PURE Gold...

That's funny. Im sure you understood the word its fairly easily. Read any of Kids responses and it will become quickly apparent that you drop IQ as you read. That was funny however.

You have a bright future as the unemployed dj standing in the corner of the club bitching about the dj playing. Most people dont start that path till college but you seem to be a natural at it.

Like...no...I don't...see what I mean???

Started what? Sounds like they are still brining in outside talent when they have you and all of your dj glory right there. If they wont even give you a chance and the other djs are "horrible" according to you, then what does that say about you?? Like you know what I mean???...

leave the kid alone... we tried....we all know he is going to end up in a 2 hour time slot with 12 other dj's...you know what these edm guys call "a battle" ...he will play his 2, 5 min long Hardwell tracks and think he is a dj god....

I'm trying to help him. He's just so thick headed. Anyways...you really think he will do so well?

Yeah with his determination and love for Hardwell I can definitely see him slanging mad tickets to a local show to get his 10 min timeslot, 2 free drinks and 3 people on the guestlist....

What makes me a good DJ?

I dunno...public opinion, other successful DJ's and critics (newspaper) co-signing my work. It's all subjective I guess. I know I have to turn down more gigs than I can physically take and left the corporate world to gig full-time back in 07. Good is a matter of opinion...success (i.e. being able to support a wife and 3 kids on the 1's & 2's) is all the confirmation anyone I really need.

Translation....

You're fired.....

Pure GOLD. Just keeps on giving!!!!

But this DID say that ->

lol, it's cool... we all get cut at some point....

But keep it real homie....

You'e been fired....

*But they DID say that ->....etc..etc..

Me too. Your very fortunate to have people at your high school watching out for you. Have fun at your event...plus you can always talk major shit about the crappy dj that's spinning that night. Im sure your date will enjoy you ranting about how he was off beat, off key, dropped it in at the wrong time, to many efx, etc etc. It should be a fun night.

Looks like people have found a way to find you too! Awesome!!! Give your sis some passes for friends that would like to attend your gig and don't forget to put there names on the list.

This opinion should change in a few years.

Wait....what?

I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our like nation don’t have maps and uh I believe that are education like such as South Africa and Iraq like everywhere such as and I believe that they should are education over here in the US should help the US and should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for …..Thank you very much miss South Carolina!....like you know what I mean....

rotflmao

like they said, they cut you a break. And that break was them sparring you the emotional emotional baggage if getting fired from what im assumimg was an unpaid gig lol

Imma let you finish but Imma gonna leave this right here as the greatest Troll eva on Serato.
Fo Real!

Oh no....

LMAO.....

Again, we've ALL been fired, released, undercut, "given a break", etc, so no biggie, but that *ish is still funny...

nah, I've seen better

^ Agreed; see Ruckazoid, Tony Little, DJ Ta$k, etc.

Man, give him a chance! Some need to perfect their skills by watching the likes of certain members to sharpen their arsenal...

If Hardwell was reading this thread...lmao

If kidx was hardwell....

He wouldn't have time to be posting on a forum....would be way too busy fawning over himself.

Troll? Really? This?...I don't think so. If it was my hat would go off to him. That would be elaborate!!! Not Kidx.

congrats

This dude is relentless....

And completely missed my point.
oh well.

I think you should post your 3 hour mix that you made so we can help you improve.

Don't look now, but the rankings have changed. Even stranger, nowhere is Hardwell even mentioned; he didn't win last year either (p.s.: who's Markus Schulz?).

Break out the cake!

www.inthemix.com.au

...and this, my friend's, is why America blows!

(sans Claude VonStroke, of course..congrats to him for even being recognized among that lot)

I heard that A-Trak guy was pretty good...

Haha. Yeah, he's amazingly talented.....just not about "what" he plays.
I liked him more before he became Kanye's touring DJ.

And once AGAIN you fail to get the difference between DJ and producer...sigh

also bassnectar > hardwell

upload it here:

Better hurry up and get that pic cause i have more bad news for you concerning the future of your beloved festivals

www.youredm.com

oh and just i case you are wondering what all this effects...


sfxii.com

Don't do it its a trap

I just hope that someone takes Beatport off SFX's hands, in and when they should go under..

No, SFX (the company that runs all the biggest festivals) has been caught manipulating their stock. The shareholders are filing a class-action lawsuit against them. In other words, the company that is responsible for the mainstream EDM juggernaut is about to go under, and EDM along with it.

Hallelujah!!

Pretty much. By the time it's said and done the company will be defunct and the CEO will probably get charges brought against him. Hell if they start getting investigated for fraud I can only imagine how cooked his books are. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he ends up serving time for fraud when it's all said and done which i think is hilarious because the CEO is essentially just a promoter and it goes to show that no matter how big a promirer gets....theyre always up to the same tricks

Oh and just to bring this thread full circle. Do you wanna know who else SFX owns.....




:p

This dude is a Gem.

Waits for Kidx to see "straight outta compton" and turn back up on the forum with a raiders hat and a sock full of crack lookin on tips on how to produce a west coast funk banger

Well, if you are stuck with it for life, then you may want to start branching out into stuff that's not so commercial. Because, that shit is on its way out.

For instance, I have been into dance music for over 20 years. I started out liking cheezy acts like Deeelite and Keoki, but quickly got into more underground genres. Like I told you before, there is a big world outside mainstream EDM.

www.thedailybeast.com

Why do i keep reading dudes posts like english isnt his first language.

lol...Folks, this is our future.....

Enjoy.

Thank you for your very thoughtful, poignant answer, Miss South Carolina.

Me to...the article i intended to post was about the death of edm

lets try this again



www.thedailybeast.com

We get it, you're trying to stretch this conversation out as much as possible by constantly posting when you get no response.
Nobody really cares.

What are you talking about?

Wow... looks like he slept on it overnight and woke up still agitated. lolz

You realize we're saying that EDM is about to fall, not Dance Music in general, right?

Dance Music has been going strong for 30 years!!

According to Bezzle they are :p

sync buddy

that is nonsense.

YES you can!!! You cant, but, many others can. Its called an Acapella. Heard of those?

So what. The point is HE CAN MIX MASHUPS LIVE. Even his own mash up can be mixed live. Especially since hes working on 4 decks. Ya know what I mean???

A google search for "acapellas", first link:

www.acapellas4u.co.uk

Yeah exactly!!!! See, you load your VOCAL/ACAPELA on deck 1. Then on deck 2 you play what ever track you want (any Hardcock track will work) Then you drop vocal track from deck 1 into track from deck 2. Preferably on beat. Then you can load tracks onto your other two decks and the possibilities are endless. Hopefully there is still plenty of time for hand hearts, fist pumping, cake tossing etc, That way everyone will know your a dj!!!!

Oh awesome. I will take a quick look at that as soon as I finish clipping my dogs nails and deworming her. Sometimes we just have to take care of the important things first...know what I mean kidd?

Ponder this...you can use acapella's / indtrumentals to make mash ups on the fly.... You can also phase/flanger and stutter with just 2 decks and not effects/pads....

And and you shall receive!

You're welcome....

[Link Removed]

Oh snap, the link got removed....

Every time you post something, anything...the only thought that goes through my mind regardless of the topic is..."If they do not fit, you must acquit"!!!! Ha ha. Everytime. Might just create a Derschawitz avatar.

Great resource.......I've been on there for years!

Thats clearly a lie

ROFL

yeah bezzle and kid x have more in common than they think.

This^^^^

LMAO

I think you turning it down was a charity in it self. Can only imagine they are grateful!!!

YO lol

hahaha

GOOOOT EMMM

Hatin' hard... thump.vice.com

I never suggested that you quit EDM or stop following anybody; that article's about the (alleged) inner workings of DJ Mag's contest. lol

I thought that instead you might slam the article for taking most of its sources from Facebook & Reddit posts, but alas...

''As THUMP pointed out last year, DJ Mag's annual poll has allegedly become a hotbed for some of the ugliest marketing schemes imaginable. Some artists buy votes on eBay while others solicit them at major festivals using girls armed with iPads. Even DJ Mag itself offers advertising packages for the poll, ranging from $18,000–40,000. Meanwhile, Beatport's charts can be gamed by paying for "download farming"—i.e., having someone buy a particular track hundreds or thousands of times with different IP addresses—or offering rebates and prizes for purchasers.''

thump.vice.com

What a sham!!

Not like anyone with real talents would want to write music for the fall-back genre that is EDM.

I like how the link says the new payola

You clearly didn't read/understand the article

Story of your life.

I suppose you'd say some Hardwell or Martin Garrix POS could write Drum and Bass like this: Watchwww.youtube.com

KidX, what you are failing to realize is that the whole reason why EDM blew up in the past 3 to 4 years is because of SFX Entertainment. Seeing as how they are doing a fire sale of all their assets, there is a good chance that these mega-festivals are seeing their last days.

No Mega-Festivals = No Big Room House (ie; no opportunities for EDM superstars like Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Aviici, Afrojack, or Steve Aoki to poison the ears and minds of Dance Music patrons any longer).

Ooooh, how I pray that prediction comes to pass!!!



Good one, but I prefer BTB Part 1 more.....

Watchwww.youtube.com

That song's good as well.

::le sigh::

This dude is amazing.

Robbert?

......ya, about that

Uh oh

This is what you sound like, maybe it will help to read it from another person.


Hardwell doesnt even need equipment or music to put on a great show, he can just clap his hands in time and millions of people MILLIONS I TELL YOU will spend thousands of dollars to hear him clap. I for one would give him my entire paycheck to hear this. He is the best dj, the best producers, gets all the girls, gets all the guys, does mountains of coke but stays clean, he taught the most interesting man in the world how to be interesting. Nothing anyone does will ever put hardwell out of business because he does it all himself. he books the shows, he books the venues, he sorts the plastic cups at the concession stands, he sells the popcorn in the stadium while he djs. thats why he is the number 1 dj in the world, it has nothing to do with him paying dj mag over 50k in advertisements and having a social media team and management team, its alll him. He gets girls pregnant in the audience every time he moves a fader, thats why he appears to play premade mixes, he doesnt wanna deal with all those children. Hes really the best, i cant wait to meet him one day and give him the best blowjob of his life because im his biggest fan. Hes so good that even when he stops djing he will be the best dj every year.



PS FUCK HARDWELL. soundcloud.com

Someone like Hardwell is not capable of writing a song like this: (written by a girl no less!) Watchwww.youtube.com

im suprised you were able to find the keyboard with all those tears lol

Lol! Now that was funny.

Just like when Marcia Brady found out that Jonny Bravo wasn't going to perform at the school dance. Heart Broken!!!

So much gold.

Denialllllllll

Once they take all the hoes out of the audience, everyone's gonna leave.

When SFX leaves, Hardbitch is gonna have to pay all the people himself...unless he pays someone to do that.



If you want to get rich quick, making bad music is a little more surefire than the stock-exchange. That's where someone with no talent belongs.

www.youredm.com

kid x is trolling bezz so hard.

Since the day he made this thread...

nah, theres just nothing else happening on the forum at the moment

That's actually interesting, I never realised that the OneLove brand out here in Aus was actually under SFX these days.
...makes it more interesting to follow this whole mess.

ILLUMINATE!

this has to be a charade...

I am finding it very difficult to believe there are still people this stupid in this age of information and knowledge.

Illuminati me on the situation.

.................taking over the world in bankruptcy?

You really have way too much time on your hands.

Have you done all your homework?

Its Dad!! Don't forget we have an appointment tomorrow with your therapist. Your Hardwell delusion is getting really bad again.

Damn, didn't even switch up the sample...no change in any way....straight copy/paste!! Pfft!!


LMAO!!!

Remarkable.

LMAO at the "cure".....

Here's a cure... Watchwww.youtube.com (1.05 to 2.00 even tho the rest is good, the garage is fantastic)

Aww man, I love "Everlasting Days"!! Both the original, and that remix.

Your welcome!

.........is this cotts?

You didn't? Really? Nah...

Actually, its Illuminati. You kept shouting about lighting, I almost thought you were discussing actual DJing.

Here's to all the curmudgeonly, crotchety senior citizen DJs:

Now were getting somewhere. Baby steps
