alot of cats on there was garbage. some where just unbearable to watch. and the judges...aside from kid capri...who?!

Agree, BUT, and please don't hate me, the ipad kid was nice to me considering he was making use of the ipad, and serato effects. Most of the other DJ's were not making use of the technology that serato is able to do.

My thoughts exactly on the judges Nyce. And the kid who just rocked an iPad.... *SMH*

It's a nice "accessory" with Serato, but your not going to win a DJ competition with just an iPad. Like Kid Capri said tonight, "YOU WERE LOOKING AT YOUR LAPTOP THE WHOLE TIME!!"

It's Smirnoff
Nuff said...
3 min sets, we saw maybe 15 seconds of each...
We all know the show has to be watchable for the general public, but for us, it's like watching some editors recap of a battle you couldn't goto.


I hope the guys on the show exploit them for everything they can to get what they deserve out of the dj game...


I was wondering though, it gotta be tough for a pioneer and cdj guy (you saw some people looking at the 62 like it was their first time seeing it)
Should be interesting to say the least

True, but he was still better then a lot of the DJ's.

Like they said though, if your gonna show up with "the future" you better do some next level shit
A few tracks at 128bpms and working the filters and effects

He could have easily put records on, used the iPad just the same and they probably wouldn't have been so "oh it's the iPad guy"
But, I understand the "no turntables needed" was the trick that got em on the show

+1

Oppps I meant the DJ formerly known as Vajra...Chris Karns

Looks like he was heated on the next episode preview

waiting for pete!!!!!!!!!

i missed the show, is it being aired online somewhere ?

Knowing vh1 it will be on quite a few times this week, check you dvr!!!

Plus whenever they get around to it, the episodes will be on their website.

www.smirnoff.com

thats what we la dj's have to go thru terrible dj's like that and they sound just like that in clubs. I was looking and was like wait that vajra

So apparently thus is the 3rd season. I've thank my insomnia for showing me this jewel but you'd think if they were trying to appeal to anyone but the crap induced public, they might have tried to get video editors who at least understand basic beat matching, to give the home audience a tiny chance of hearing the talent the producers may have prematurely tossed out due to improper application of hair product or what.the.fluff.ever.
A previous contributor mentioned the idea of having full sets posted. If only! I do truly wish that would happen. Unfortunately, in this lovely age we jive (auto correct from "live", so I'll leave it, of course) in, Everyone's a DJ, so either the opposing critiques would shut down the interwebs or, perhaps, common folk would get a glimpse of what actually goes down when they are poured a shot of ear juice that melts them to oblivion that just can't be recaptured by the nonstop 4 on the floor-esqe dubbbbabee garbage squeezed into every track on any genre radio station and/or "decks" in the club these days.

Just got done watching... the competition was pretty weak. outta the 12 they picked, its about half and half.. half know what they doin the other half, not so much..

Wasnt that the dj from judge judy??

He was the smartest one on the show...youll see him sponsored by apple soon with brand new equipment as soon as it hits the market free of charge

Didn't see the show, but I TRULY think Kid Capri is trying to put some DJ's ON who are not getting shine....

And I CAN'T be mad at that...

If you think about it, DJ Scratch has been out there pretty tough since the show and all.

they just got i-dee'ed !!! lol

There are a lot of dope and very established Djs on there this season as well as a ton of delusional peeps. They definitely put on some of those people to make the show more interesting as with any other VH1 reality show. I mean how many of us could not wait to see the ipad guy do his thing lol. Too bad we couldnt see anyone really perform. Hopefully we can see some full sets soon.

Did Excel (not that girl eXeL, but the one from Philly/Skratch Makaniks) get a pass?

Oh wait, just checked Twitter-feeds, apparently she thought she was the only DJ called Excel (eXeL, in this case) in USA. Shake My Head, heavily...

Well there was two djs from here in Vegas, hope to see them Represent

I knew something wasn't right. LoL

They are streaming the full set. Wayyyyy more informative than what the show displays. I respect what some tried to do. www.iheart.com I think it is streaming only. Goes again at 6pm est.

^^^ good info!!!

Even my wife said, I can't tell anything that they are doin...it's all snippets

+1
Its sad that they couldn't even try to show the snippets some what on beat. They should put their sets on soundcloud.

Had a viewing party in Orlando last night that dr Dawe put on, a lot of local Djs came out and showed support which was cool. Only caught the very end of the episode, I'm sure the show sucks bad like all the other ones did but hey it's a great move as far as cred goes, also Chics see you on tv and drop panties

And at the end of the day, does anything else even matter?

also Chics see you on tv and drop panties

Or drop your contracts and burn your name cause they saw the outlined mistakes that were edited

I hope some of the Dj's that I saw really don't sound like that other wise they need a reality check not a reality show.

Man..... season 3 and they still won't bring me on the show as a tech expert.... smh.

lol...

You better get your iPod skills up...

Where are the other two seasons I've never seen this before

I'm telling you, I'd be like the Noid and be renaming _Serato_ folders before their set. It would be great TV. muhahahah

The only Dj show I've seen was Pauly D's and I stopped watching after the first five minutes

There was general animosity towards the first 2 seasons as well. Just ask Revolution

(Ooooooooooooh!)

You should be able to find highlights online
A good one is where Rev comes back as a guest judge and it gets a Lil wild.

What someone should have done was bring an apple remote and when they started spinning hit the play button so it opens up their itunes and screws with the sets.

What someone should have done is bring out some real vinyl records to see who can and cant mix.

^^^ a few peeps did that at red bull this year.
Someone will EVENTUALLY do it on the show.

That's messed up bro but thanks for the alert

Rofl??

Well since they are allowing an Ipod it shouldn't be long before we have a vj masters of the mix.... Now that would be a site to see....There are dj's on this forum that would smash in that arena. People have no clue really what a vj could really do,,,, but when they do!!!!! : )
But that will most likely never happen because of copywriters when using clips from movies.

I think they should recruit guys from the forum to talk shit to the djs, give the public a taste of real dj culture, capris may be a dj legend but my track record of garnishing attention by throwing out baseless critisim speaks for itself

Watchwww.youtube.com

"Hater section"

Could you imagine the ratings if there was a special 2 part episode where jayceeo argues with capris over who hes dating then revolution shows up to make fun of his name


It would be the highest rated show in tv if the cintestants could clown the judges

DJ PM Elimination interview- www.youtube.com

Smh.. I mean you know what kind of competition this is.

iPad DJ played house-ish kind of music, right?

+100 !!!

Right and the nerve to name yourself after DJ AM. He should be ready to play everything!

Did anyone on the board try out for this show?

^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^

Yeah I did hear him say that he was inspired by Dj AM, and I do remember Dj AM tearing it up on hip-hop is this the same Dj AM or is there a house Dj AM?

best twitter


''don't know whats worse being told you suck by kid capri or someone who djs with a violinist''

Theres a million DJ PMs out there

AM played everything. There are enough youtube videos out there, pick one.



Lol, true..

Dude was just embarrassed...Knowing he bombed on the first day and thinking about coming back to the jokes of his boys probably irritated him.

I listened to his full set earlier today (comes on again at 6pm) and he started off strong but went wayyy left and downhill after that. kinda a bad open format approach. jumping from genre to genre... no flow and probably trying too hard. no excuses he deserved to go home

I wander what kinda music this guy normally plays?

can any tell me WTF happened wth I-Dee? They made him look so bad, especially with that video editing

Hes a house Dj/producer. Sucks tho when you enter battles and are hit with unexpected stuff. It happens, but thats what you gotta be ready for.

I DEE got skills. From what I seen he wasnt used to the 62 mixer. He clearly couldnt hear what he was cueing up.

2 hours ago they put up the "meet ______" videos

www.youtube.com

you gotta agree tho, the show is more hip-hop centric.

U sure? Lol

Why not?? Djin came from hiphop.. Just playing songs, twisting knobs, jesus poses, inflatiable rafts, bananas and cake throwing is not djing.. Put your hands on the vinyl, scratch, throw on a blend, beat juggle, do a body trick. Thats what djin is. Not saying that the songs you use have to be hip hop but at least utilize some of the technics that go along with djing.. Beat matching is only 1 part..

previews for the second episode got me shook. CK, where you going?

youtu.be

djin didnt come from hip hop.

......SMH

why mia moretti so weirdly happy all the time.

Was anyone else annoyed with the way that chick was talkin to him "well to be the master if the mix you gotta.." bitch wheres YOUR mixtape

The type if djing the show and i am referring too.. You dont win dj contest just playing songs.. That called a song playing contest..

''Take journey into day in life of the legendary Bronx native who is considered by many to be the world's greatest DJ:''

There's a reason why the have mix-offs and Battles.
but if you show up to a battle and mix 3 songs masterfully, creatively, using acapellas, effects and creating transitions... dont expect to place.

Its like showing up to Talledega with a Baja Racing Car.

but, if like PM eluded in that interview... they told him he could do his thing, then pulled the rug out before he went on stage....Thats fucked up.
The Ipad dude didnt play hiphop.... and like he said "I played mixed through 4 songs and kid capri thought it was only 1"

That sounds about right for reality tv

what i cant understand is why, if you have a mix/battle show, you know you are going on, probably had to fly there, even if you are a house/polka/zouk/zydeco djs, why would you not preplan a set of hits? even if you dont know the songs, ask a friend or the ssl forum what to play(maybe not the ssl forum), or just watch youtube. it shows how noob teh djs are.

+1 would be hella boring otherwise

.....because the producers told him he could rock it how he rocks it, if you were a scratch dj heading to the dmcs would you gi outta your way to make sure you had some pitbul?

I did notice that every one is trying to impress Kid Capri and a lot of the djs are loosing focus of doing them selves rock it like they normally would but instead I think they are in the back talking to each other changing stuff up last minute and i, imagine the back sounding like a Serato thread lol...

Impress kids capris..... LMFAO!!! You silly..... you have to be from the tri state area to impress or even understand the greatness that is kids capris. He is the master and crowd control and a genius and making people remember songs that have never heard!!

Fix my spelling (nm nh)

No because history speaks for itself. MOTM is 3rd season in, and people haven't figured it out yet? If I was flying out there and going through all that trouble, I think I'd watch an episode or two before showing up.

i would have every type of pop music i thought would be present in a dj show, ala a edm set, a hip hop(new and old) set, a pop set(classics, new, classics and new). the older i get the more embarrassed/frustrated i get over tiny mistakes.

I figured out a long time ago practice is equal to studying in school, the difference is you get a f and nobody sees it, you mess up in dj wise and everybody hears it. i get embarrassed over a couple mistakes that no one hears in a club, much less millions on tv.

Jayceeoh

HOT FYAHH MASTER IF THE MIX SEASIN TWO WHO REMEMBERS THAT ONE.....ANYONE....noone huh

I wouldnt that shows horrible lol

ANYONE???? SOMEONE???? ANYBODY?????

***** cue in good times.... everyone remembers good times****

Where's Pete? lol

nm

When did good times become phsco? Oh yes... i remember..... it was PETE!!! LOL (nm nh)

Watchwww.youtube.com

I'm rooting for the homie Dynamix to take it all. My guess is it's between him and Jayceeoh.

Cosign

Don't rule out Incrediboi. He's dope also. From the same group of folks that Mell Starr hangs.
If Karns hangs around the show, I'd say he is a fav

Vajra is probably the dopest DJ on there skill wise...but it was a classic case of a DMC dude not being able to translate what he does to a club-style battle.

If I had skills like that, I'd have done a little bit of trick mixing and dropping some dope records for the first 2:30, and then cut it up for 30 seconds to show versatility. Mixing records is easy. Dropping dope records is easy, Vajra is in a class of his own when it comes to the scratching, if he showed he could do it all, he'd be the favorite. Instead, Dynamix did exactly that.

youtu.be

This guy should be up there I like this crowd control better than Kid Capri (" No Diss") just matter of taste IMO.

co muthafukin sign

Why you mad bro?

whose mad, im agreeing that flipside is dope, hes one of the few djs i can watch and he never lets me down!! Hes up there with vice in people whos style i try to emulate\vids i learn things from

Lol my bad now you should b mad cause I didn't get the reply , but yeah this Dj could very well be a fair judge and a top contestant.

filp is well rounded... i agree that he would a much better judge that the big mouth they have now

*Make

.
co muthafukin sign

Lol how did I miss that co- sign Fo Sho

Maybe you're

bl muthafukin ind

:P

nm

lol all good

If y'all only knew what I know

Hopefully everyone gets some cred from the show, except maybe the iPad guy, when did he start dj'n - April 3, 2010?

to me flip would be a better judge because its not essentially a "dmc" technical style dj comp, its more of a redbull 3style versitile party rocker comp, looking for a marketable all around dj. Capris fits more into that golden era knowledge, name catagory of dj, then you got your tec scratch nerds like qbert, but my personal fave are the guys who dont get to technicnical but can use what they know creativly and be versitile with it to rock a crowd, guys like vice, am, flipside ect ect. IMHO those types of djs would be better for this comp

^ LOL at breaking down what would be better for this comp, like it's actually real.

That's exactly what I was thinking

This

nm

lol hey i figure if were playing fantasy football we might as well have fun with it.

this show is just a marketing vehicle and even from that standpoint i think capris kinda a lame draw

Yea I auditioned

So please gives us your American history on the culture of DJing? Funk breaks birthed the DJ and those breaks are what birthed hiphop and manipulating vinyl records on a turntable. Please tell me where did DJing come from surely hiphop has one of the biggest influences on the culture

I believe (and I could be wrong) that the first "DJ" to use two turntables actually was spinning jazz.

Don't quote me on that though.

nm

cdn2.mamapop.com

Dont sleep on my dude Incrediboi he is just a dope and I have seen him kill parties doing what he does. I say that have a problem but Dynamixx and Jayceeoh are dope as well and rock parties. I was in line with a lot of those DJs who made the show in NYC and let me tell majority of the ones who made are not that great on the decks but had personality and fit there description of what they wanted to show on TV. Im actually surprised they picked Incrediboi up being he actually knows what he's doing on the decks

i wasnt even gunna touch that subject cause its a never ending argument.. djs have been around. some djs dont even touch turntables, they are radio personalities but are still called djs. It u want to be technical about turntable-ism would be a more appropriate term if we speaking technical. But it took people in the hip hop world to put the pieces together to shape djin to what we have now. The cross fader, scratching, bringing that break back so rappers can rap over it for more that 30seconds etc.. Thats all hip hop.. Before that they were just putting the record on and letting it play..

^^^ your right people dont want to give hip cred for shaping DJing to what we have now. Majority of guys like Jayceeoh no disrespect his parents probably did not listen to hiphop when he was growing up and he sure throws done like a hiphop DJ so I agree DJing in its purest form has its roots in hiphop.

If not Jazz, you're not far off. I KNOW it wasn't hip hop. However, if there's a Genre' that's more defined by Vinyl DJs, it's Hip Hop. That's why many people have the perception that the DJ Era started after Hip Hop. Not only this but time has washed away the term "Disco DJ". Remember them?

About the Show. I think they should limit the amount of technology to "file management".
I think they should only allow what they had at the auditions. Two Decks and Mixer.

to this day i get confused when i see dynamixx since im a fan of dynamix2 and thats a completley seperate beast

Watchwww.youtube.com

scratch d in tha muthafukin house Watchwww.youtube.com

speaking of jazz, wtf was up with that one judge saying he's "never heard someone play a jazz song at a club?" the song was hot music.!? he's never heard "hot music" before? and he's judging a dj contest??

Lol i agree, these guys obviously don't spend time looking for music like we do, since they have a lot of other ish to do so I'm sure they are up to date but not in all genres like most of us are so to judge I really stand by my opinion that they need a guy like Flip.

I try not to judge someone aptitude. This is a "Show" more than it's a competition. Its' about popularity, ratings and hookups. Which is just the way life is. I have to admit, I'd rather watch a hot chick or a famous comedian make average mixes, but entertain me than watch some Turntablist with an "average" personality "tear it up". Sorry, maybe I just watched one too many DJs spin in my lifetime.

Hello :0)

i didnt say it hasnt a huge influence on dj culture around the world.

but if you wanna get down to djing, as in djing(playing records for people to dance or entertain them, you have a lot of early influences from radio djs, to club(all colors of people) djs playing dance music, to reggae soundsystems/sound clashes/toasting/ remixing/using effects. then you can move to many carribean immigrants in nyc, reforming that culture but using american records, not only funk, but rock, jazz, soul, etc. Just because you see grandmaster flash having a routine in a movie mean that every single dj of the time was doing that exact same thing. Hip hop djing techniques didnt fall out of the sky and appear to kool herc, bambaataa and flash on stone tablets. all those people had dj,music, and cultural influences that extended out of hip hop, because there was no 'hip hop' when they were coming up.

I guess Y'all just ignored my ish. I just said that. Hip Hop DID NOT birth DJing. But it HAD a HUGE influence in the art of DJing. Serato (whether they like to admit it or not) was built on Hip Hop.

They haven't been called DJs in 20+ years.



Which genre was the first to utilize beat matching and mixing as it would apply to "DJing as we know it" would be a better way to get to the root of it, rather than saying the first to use two turntables, because what those guys were doing had far less to do with the development of what we consider "DJing".

bet that the main audience are all djs and aspiring djs lol

Out of any genre where DJ culture was so important, in history and foundation, the two main genres would be House and Hip-Hop

Disco > House
Sound System culture + Breaks = Hip-Hop > Turntablism

The thing I would say about Hip-Hop and why it's so important in terms of "DJing", is the other genres didn't push the envelope as hard until new technology made it possible, while Hip-Hop DJing didn't wait, they were using the same two turntables to advance light years beyond what other genres were doing with the same equipment.

That sounds pretty accurate, hiphop DJs were def trail blazer..I mean we have a crossfader because of hiphop. We have skippless records, slip mats, transformer switches, etc because of hiphop. Most DJ mixer are made with the hiphop DJ (turntablist) in mind except for most pioneer mixers which encompasses the Disco/House/dance theme which also played a mega role in the development of DJ culture outside of hiphop, however I believe the culture would not have been as advanced had hiphop not set the tone for what DJing is.

Even if that is the case it's good so see dj's that you never heard or seen do their thing. If they would take out those stupid mix drink segments we would have more djing. You would think that Capri with his status would have some say so about how the show should be done but I really don't think that's the case. He was riding Smirnoff nuts, so I assume it's just a pay check.

First shows where more or less hip-hop based this show is not, you can tell by the judges that something is diffrent, Smirnoff is reaching for a different demographic of customer thus the variety of dj's (NONE HIP HOP) thus I-Pod dude making the cut (not that he was bad I liked the dude a lot) but for a true turntablist I am sure they see this is bullshit. No matter what you have to support a show that showcases anything about djing if your a dj... good or bad.

Well when I said that the first guy (supposedly) to use two turntables did it with jazz music was actually playing music for a party so that would DJing as we know it.

nm

Were they beat matching, blending, remixing on the fly, doing anything else besides playing one record until it faded out, then playing the next? Was the foundation and evolution of Jazz music based on what those guys were doing?

Maybe that's Djing as you know it "6" but that's not what we're talking about here. So based on that, and the fact that you're not actually Sixxx, I'm not going to entertain the convo any further.

Take it or leave it, you either get it or you don't. It was just something to think about, not to try and prove either side wrong. Because spending two weeks "proving points" (the thing some were so concerned with in the OTHER Kid Capri thread) through 100 posts per day, using gimmick accounts and other nonsense to reenforce arguments in threads that won't make any difference in either of our lives, is not how I choose to spend my time.

Can we confirm this

And here comes captian .gif

Wow, that's pretty cute...

I've got an impersonator....

As you can see, my ORIGINAL NAME does not end with a "."....

But this can't be Bezzle, as you all KNOW my spelling is impeccible...

:-)

or is it?

U mad

nm

This makes a ton of sense and is absolutely correct. I'm ashamed I never thought of this.

www.amazon.com

this is a good read and details all forms of djings that helped to get us where we are.

btw, i know alot guys from the 80s that played electronic music and were not just playing one song into another. they used keyboards, samplers, and drum machines along with records and doing turntable tricks to play mainly dance/electronic music.

Did you guys notice your either repeating something in a different way or repeating something someone else mentioned in this thread? Master of the MIx is not about the history of DJing. IT'S a SHOW based on individuals who perform or attempt to perform on Turntables. The DRAW are their personalities because almost ANY bedroom DJ could be BETTER or WORSE than the DJs on the show.

Actually they are looking for style diversity of music, transition, use of equipment and of course skill. But yeah it's not about the history of Dj which Kid Capri Brings up on the show

they did seem to want stuff other than straight hip hop and called out several djs for playing strictly hip hop. seems like the judge that was trying really hard to be cool, had that dj AM paradigm of what djing is, ala pop hits from the 60s to now.

and, OF course what they looked like/personality was gonna be big, because they are pushing this guy/girl on media outlets. Thats why i dont think dynamix has that great of chance, he just had no style and was kinda dorky looking, but he did some insane routine that was clearly the best of the first dj runs... no offense to dynamix.

I believe they sent out mixed messages because their auditions only give you two minutes to do your thing. All you can do impressively in that amount of time is "Hip Hop Turtablism" Most EDM DJs won't even get to their first mix before two minutes over...maybe a little knob turning"here and there. The Last Master of the Mix, I simply don't remember seeing anything else but Hip Hop. So, most of the signups this year probably expected the same.

and that's another point that skews the show towards hip hop.

I dont think their "audition" had anything to do with djing....they were looking for who had a look, persinality, ect ect, when i auditioned for the real world it was the same thing, they call you in ask you like 3 questions in about two minutes. Getting on the show prob had more to do with followers, internet presence, name recoginition and persobality than it did with skill

i figure about half were put on the show my managers and talent scouts, because some look like noobs, and some

jayceeoh, dynamix, tina t, vajra, incrediboi, and lisa pittman all seemed professionally above the rest, although not so much technically. the ladies didnt exactly represent.

It appears they choose Djs that are already established, like DJ Scratch and Yonny from past seasons. They also had to picked some people who would be great for a VH1 show aka the crazy/delusional types.

Yup

You mean those who would be classified as....














INSANE?

urrgghh stopped tracking

By akiems standard as "insane" meaning not him then yes

I mean really, wouldnt a fight amongst two Djs fit in perfectly with a VH1 show? Imagine records getting thrown, headphones getting ripped off, turntables falling down lol.

All jokes aside, I hope they start showing the real sets from the guys left. I would also love a closeup set from Ipad guy. Im just curious as to how he's controlling it all. Its amazing that you can rock serato with just and Ipad.

I agree. Obviously the contestants had to have "acceptable" mixing skills but as far as being the best...no. In their defense, I do need to stress that a Dj's persona is part of what it is to be a DJ. An animated, funny and fun to watch person is more interesting to the general public that some unattractively shy DJ with skills.

I mean, c'mon guys. We all know that most listeners don't know the difference or difficulty level of most scratches and mixing Techniques. Those who do still prefer someone "Sexy" to be spinning (this includes me). Look at Pop music today. Beyonce is not hard to look at is she? She is known as a pop icon. But, I will say this, I hear women who can out sing her everyday, but may not have the look or her style. It's just how show business is done these days.

Select said: "All jokes aside, I hope they start showing the real sets from the guys left."

I affectionately say F**k "sets"! I wanna see Djs rip it up in a club. Not in some "Lab". I want to see how the move a REAL crowd REAL clubs. A set to me is like "shadow boxing". Dude look all good throwing fake punches, but you get him/her in a ring with a seasoned boxer and they get "knocked out". I don't wanna speculate how good a DJ is, I wanna SEE how good a DJ is.

Youll never see it cause this isnt a real comp...all it is is a way to hype up the person theyve hired to be the face if their brand for a year

Again, they are airing their full 3 minute sets uninterrupted sporatically on I heart radio MOM station....

Gotta keep an eye on the FB page to see when, but: 1.bp.blogspot.com

You are on a Roll today. Correct again.

so now who do you thnk that is? its gotta be jayceeoh or vajra rt?

I dont see anyway its not jaycee

I checked them out yesterday and they were not as bad as the the editing made them sound on tv.. They were kinda bad but not as bad. Bearable, and u can hear where they were going with it.

In reference to the "Ipad" dude. I see that as a "travesty". The reason I say this is that it was not an option given to me and others at the auditions here in Vegas and though I embrace technology, that ain't Djing. Its' more "programming" than anything. "Just press Muthafuggin play".

I tell you what? next season I'll drag my 32 track mixing console down there to the auditions Or maybe I"ll bring my traktor loaded Ipad!

Right?
What's to stop a young Araabmuzik protege to drop an mpc and rock it?

I'm curious to what "he desined" though because it looked a lot like touch osc.
(Or any of the midi programs)

I designed a 3 page layout in lemur to control everything in Mix Emergency ...I wouldn't never say it's "my program though"

There is ZERO ground breaking about it.
You map every surface in sertato to a template you layout, connect it via a private network.
Basically you just made a iOS controller.
Put the players on internal, hit play.
(I have this template on my mini, I call it the flosstrodomus fail safe....) if the table goes over, I can limp through the gig.

Anyone got any links to the full version of this program? please

There bunches of programs you can do it with... 2 of the more popular ones are TouchOSC and Lemur

They are just midi programs you can layout how ever you desire.
And for the more advanced you can scripts automate things.

And if SeRato ever does midi out it will even be a more popular option
(I opted to the iPad mini from the traktorx1) to control ME

Ok, I've waited to say anything, read this whole fuckin thread, but I can't stay quiet anymore. This show is a Smirnoff ad, that is all. A dj "reality" show could never work because of licencing issues. Basically, they can only play snippets of the songs they get cleared for the tv show. That is expensive, and will never change in any Dj "reality" show.

Next, in past seasons, dj's have come out and told that they had a small thumb drive of licenced music to play on the show and that was all they could play. Also, in order to make people fail they would wait till an hour or less to get the contestants music before there performances. There were also some that said that process was not done equally for every dj. Look up DJ Wicked on YouTube.

To touch on the fact that IDEE got bounced with about 1.5 secs. of air time goes to show you that the show is complete bullshit. The kid is incredible, both as a turntablist and a party rocker. He could DJ with his feet better than half of the stage props that got through that first cut. Much love to Idee, you got fucked my dude.

Most of the DJ's on the first 2 seasons did not audition, the auditions are 95% show to make it seem like the show is reality based. This season they did show Jayceeoh trying out, but that may have been a invite type try out. He is well known and a dope DJ for sure. Vajra aka Chris Karns did NOT try out, I know this for a fact. In fact, I didn't wanna get into it cause I hate talking like this, but I did a show with a world famous DJ about a month ago.
I've worked with him 4 times and have been around him Djing shows over a dozen times. He was asked every season of the show to be on, without a try out. In fact they told him the $$$ was his, he just had to sign up. You would all know this dj for sure, and he probably is considered by a lot of DJs, the one of the best all around, if not the best. We spoke about the most resent show and he told them, he already made it as a DJ and doesn't need the show. He told me that he would never want to be beholden to a liquor sponsor or their agenda or their tour schedule. He is also very lucky to DJ for $5000-$10000 a night.

I'm not gonna call him out, I consider the dude a friend even though he's really just an acquaintance. So I'll get shit, or be called a liar, I don't give a fuck. I just wanna play spoiler so real djs don't buy into this shit. Yes, I watched the first episode hoping I'd see some djing but I'm done with it besides I know some shit. I hope I can ruin any future threads about this stupid fucking show. But there will probably be a weekly thread for every stupid episode any way.

Maybe I can help that not happen. My "boy", the aformentioned DJ, was also invited to the last taping, the finals, and he attended. I will bet anyone on this site ANY amount of $$$ which DJ wins!!!!! Hit me up!!!(Space down for spoiler)

























Jayceeoh wins that shit against Chris Karns, and it was all stage prop type shit. No disrespect to Jayceeoh at all, he's dope. He just did what Smirnoff wanted him to do in order to win. Lastly, NO, I will not tell you who that DJ is who told me all this. I won't blow up his spot, so don't guess. Just give me shit, or bet me bitches. Oh, and to whoever said that Jayceeoh's parents didn't listen to hip hop, no shit, of course not, he's like 34-35, he was born in the 70's. Haha, but that statement ya made seemed kinda racist. Was it cause he's a white dude?

No I don't think you will, I think most people in the know already know this, that's why I also think it's funny that it's season 3 and dudes are still taking this shit seriously, it's already been said by those involved in the earlier seasons that it's pre-determined.

I thought I already said this in the thread but it was actually on Audio1's wall when he was saying people were actually getting mad over the show...

Well thank you for claiming rightful ownership of my comments. I wouldn't have been able to sleep knowing I reinterated something you said Shaaamaaan. And thank you I'll be sure to check out those 3 old posts, I do that as a hobbie. I'm just bustin your balls brother. I feel ya, I don't understand why anyone comments anymore. I just hope I ruined it for one of those dudes.

Not sure where I claimed rightful ownership to your comments, I was just saying that I think most will take your word for it.

When I said "I thought I already said 'this'" I wasn't referring to you (as you were dropping inside knowledge), I meant the quote I was about to post so people didn't get confused as to where it came from ;)

I know you're not beefing, I just want to make the context clear in case anybody else reads my comments wrong.

the fact that hed show up the shows chosen one

thats how reality TV works, they push you into acting a certin kinda way then edit the rest, i recently listened to an adam corolla podacst about celeb apprentice and he said the editied version had almost no connection to how things happened in real life, as a matter of fact they edit people exits BEFORE THE SHOW so they cant show bias, i also listened to another podcast that said when they were on break the crew pushed people to talk negativly about other contestants, the ones who were smart enough not to were eliminated quickly

I think most of us with any level of common sense came to this conclusion after season 1 episode 1. But hey, there are people who still believe WWE westling is REAL......

''Jayceeoh wins that shit against Chris Karns, and it was all stage prop type shit. No disrespect to Jayceeoh at all, he's dope. He just did what Smirnoff wanted him to do in order to win. Lastly, NO, I will not tell you who that DJ is who told me all this. I won't blow up his spot, so don't guess. Just give me shit, or bet me bitches.

thats what i figured. they were the 2 most obvious guys(press, right look) in the right market(LA, guess vajra is from den i think)

I skipped out on season 1&2 after I heard a very similar story.

This season I'm a little more vested because I have a few friends on it, of course you want to support your buds.
I knew there was a steady dose of BS

BUT DIDINT KNOW IT WAS THAT BAD
This is why I only watch family guy, walking dead and Anthony Boudain shows.

I guess I should have paid MORE attention to season 1&2, this was the first Ro I've ever sat and watched.

Side bar: here is a high res shot of Homme's interface:

Which, in the realm of midi interfaces it's very simple.

The homie BHen is on it

KAT...

I Rocked many "grown and sexy" Parties where Hip Hop was played to a crowd between 30-50 so, your comment was not that accurate. In addition, if they were born in the 70's that means when his parents were teens, hip hop was really on the rise. It's ok, if they didn't listen to or don't listen to hip hop, but your accusation that his parents didn't have the opportunity to like Hip Hip sucks because Hip Hop was in full effect in their lifetime. We talkin' Sugarhill gang, Africa Bambata, Salt and Peppa, Wrex in effect and the list goes on. I'm older than they are and I love Hip Hop. I love R&B a little more, but I love Hip Hop.

Now what?

****sigh****

LOL at kid Capri judging.

East coast sellout (No diss) just the truth:)

Careful with such statements. Pete may get upset

" NO DISS" but if the above statement is true I think a lot of peps will agree that it's all a sell out move

Can We Expect Pete To Sell Out Too?

"copying is highest form of flattery"

"copying is highest form of flattery"

Pete invented the Remix! (Not really)


nm

This is true....

Lol!!

ROTFL

I wish I could be bothered reading this thread, but it grew too quickly.
On a few episodes on youtube though, It's as bad as I'd expect any DJ show to be. (although probably not as bad as 'DJ Idol' would have been)

I actually downloaded Midi Deck Suite a few days ago and it's pretty nice. Allows me to control Scratch Live and Serato Video. I think I might start using it for my video sets. Nice accessory. :)

snap, good thing Smirnoff and Serato aren't partners, this thread would be locked lol

Fixed

heres a video one of our own elite members did that locked me on on lemur.
still working on that gyro thing (use your ipad like the midifighter 3d, tilting it and such)

Watchwww.youtube.com

I use an ipad mini, which is nice because you can still work your 1200s and Mixer as you always have... you can not just control all the extras in your SSL and other ad ons (bridge/video/syphon apps)

again, just too bad that the Ipad guy on the show wasnt doing next level tech shit.
just "look, i have an ipad, and i dont need turntables to accomplish the same exact thing minus scratching, juggling, tricks..."

if serato ever gets midi out i think we'll see alot more of how to rock a classic setup with a healthy injection of new tech at my fingertips too
(not that people arent already doing that)

^^^minimum requirements on Ipad to run Lemur?Thanks

no minimum requirements. it has a small footprint.

lemur is so much more powerful than touchosc. highly recommended.

Will this be compatible with my typewriter?

Guys, this is what bothers me. When the auditions were held in Vegas, MOM did not allow anyone to bring in any alternate forms of technology. I had Traktor at the time and they would not allow me to bring in my own stuff or make any changes. It was Serato and two 1200s or nothing. I respected that. Next thing you know an Ipad is on the scene. SMH

Why was your mother there and whats her problem with technology? She more of a two turntables and a mic kinda lady.

agreed, that's totally fucked up.

if you watch the episode there's some conversation backstage
"they did that to level the playing field" and comments like that from the DJs

but I think auttomattik laid it out exactly why

Dude, you reply made no sense. Are you off your meds again? You did so well yesterday! I have no problem with Technology. The fact that I'm an A+ certified Tech should tell you something. I just feel that if one person gets to use an Ipad, then everyone should.

ha...took me a few passes, but I finally got the joke.

Facepalm

Lol

I don't mind them "leveling" the playing field. But, it's not fair to those who didn't benefit from this change. Secondly, it actually made the competition less fair. It's MUCH harder to make audible mistakes on an ipad than on TTs or CDJs. It's like Peyton Manning vs "Joe Blow" who gets to use a laser guided football.

Stop being such a bitch...thought you was cool for a minute. You must be BiPolar.

Vh1 reality shows success seem to be based more in gererating negative feedback than positive
(Look at wicked single... Everyone in Boston hated it, and they used all the negative feedback AS THEIR COMMERCIAL)

I picture a few execs somewhere saying, ok, we need "a plant" on the show, someone to piss off the viewers.

It's all Hollywood.
Even the iPad people are saying "WTF!"

Wouldn't it be more bipolar-like to think someone was cool for a minute then not so the next minute?

Just sayin'

nm

True that or maybe they're thinking apple will jump in on the sponsorship.

No...no it wouldn't.

Bipolar disorder
Classification and external resources

Bipolar disorder is characterized by transitions between depression and mania
ICD-10 F31
ICD-9 296.0, 296.1, 296.4, 296.5, 296.6, 296.7, 296.8

Bipolar disorder or bipolar affective disorder (historically known as manic–depressive disorder or manic depression) is a psychiatric diagnosis for a mood disorder. Individuals with bipolar disorder experience episodes of a frenzied state known as mania (or hypomania), typically alternating with episodes of depression.
At the lower levels of mania, such as hypomania, individuals appear energetic and excitable and may in fact be highly productive. At a higher level, individuals begin to behave erratically and impulsively, often making poor decisions due to unrealistic ideas about the future, and may have great difficulty with sleep. At the highest level, individuals can experience very distorted beliefs about the world known as psychosis. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes; some experience a mixed state in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. Manic and depressive episodes typically last from a few days to several months and can be interspersed by periods of "normal" mood.

Well, by that description, Bezzle is off the hook.

Carry on.

So...when a person seems cool one day and then wanna take of your head the next. There's a good chance that person is bipolar. recognizing these changes DOES NOT make you Bi-Polar. It just makes you observant.

LOL

Why so serious

The problem with this though is its not even really a compitition

LMAO!!!!! Yup!

When has bezzel ever been cool....??? Shit I expect him or Six to start shit every 10 seconds on a thread somewhere. That's what I like about the fourms you got a little bit of everybody saying something, that's why I am on her Monday thur Friday.

VS1 Master of the mix.... Did the the female judge say something negative about Serato or was that me. Somebody will coin what she said.

What the hell? You're expected to be here the entire week... not just weekdays.

Let me think through this...

2 CDJ 2Ks 3000.00 (on sale)

vs

1 Apple Ipad 500.00

Hmmm, A brotha may need to switch up. If you can't beat em, join em.

Then again, you can mix with an iPhone... that's $199 with contract. I just saved you $300

lol

LMAO!!!!! True that. But I need the big screen. My eyes "are goin' bad" lol

lmao!

Weve been having problems with his tps reports

Just remember. There is always a way to do something way cheaper.... (although it may not always be the best choice)

Have you figured the joke out yet lol

Oh yeah... the joke. That was a clever one.

lol @ MOM vs Mom

hahaha

Lol!

I believe MOM opened up a can of worms they won't wanna eat. Do you know how many wanna be DJs will be showing up with their iPads and phones to the auditions next year?

LOL... I thought it funny too.

I thought you meant my MOM as in Mother. Now, eventually, I get it.

SMH @ bezzle being clever

www.djjohnnym.com

......LOL

Now this is one of the ways to rock an iPad! Props to DJ Shiftee!

youtu.be

Whoa homie, double check your reading, originally it was pointed out that VAJRA was born in the mid 70's, not his parents. They were definitely not listening to hip hop as kids... maybe they grew up with bee bop or doo wop, not hip hop.

Only if you can do this though:
newsletter.native-instruments.com

Didn't see it already posted above, my bad...

That's what's up.

Word up Reggae! Thanks for actually understanding what I was saying.....................................except I was talking about Jayceeoh, but the point applies to both dudes. They in there 30's, there parents didn't listen to hip hop, at least not until Vanilla Ice went #1.

Besides catching the show on Monday nights, how in the world are ya'll viewing Season 3, episode 1? Where and exact link please? I can't seem to find anything more than short blurbs from the show. (nm)

If he was born, let's say 75'. Let's say the Parents are in their 20's when he was born. Rapper's delight came out in 79'. Then a slough of Hip Hop in early 80's. They may not listen to it, but it was there. No matter though, the point I'm making is the accusation dude was trying to make about being racially bias was wrong.

Agreed, this is the DJ PM from the show speaking. Let me say firstly, I appreciate REAL DJ's understanding what it's like for things to change unfairly. I'm a house DJ, yes I CAN DJ hip hop but I haven't for a very very very long time and I was not prepared to take on a DMC competition. I'm the first to admit weaknesses. As you heard in the interview, I had a COMPLETELY different set planned and it was really innovative but I didn't get to play that set unfortunately. Believe me, I'm getting blasted from all angles unfairly and it sucks. I produce good house music and I'm a very good house DJ, definitely my strong point. It's just funny that they portrayed me like that in the mean time I'm rocking the stage this weekend with Martin Solveig. It's crazy guys, but that's reality TV. I read through the comments incognito LMAO but thank you to the people who tried to relate, you're the first to do so. It was VERY tough going through that and honestly, it was friggin' unfair as hell that I couldn't play my set. If you guys need anything, songs, mixes, whatever, I am good friends with a lot of TOP 100 guys and I get songs pretty early so I can send them over. Honestly, I'm probably one of the nicest guys you will meet and I will give you the shirt off my back, but what happened to me.........let's just say it was ALOT to handle at once.

Also, I did NOT get my name derived from DJ AM. My name is DJ Pete Magma...P(ete) M(agma), that's where P M comes from. I idolized AM like every other DJ and had a lot of respect for him. He heard my stuff and thought I was talented. That's where it ends.

well....ya kinda got to at this point dontcha lol

LOL fa sho, but that definitely wasn't an accurate representation of what I do or what I'm capable of. I don't "battle", nothing against it just not me, you know? In saying that, I've also taught myself how to do everything from mixing, music theory and production. I was never taught. All hard work. They didn't air that. It was definitely tricks based and I'm not a trick DJ. Like I said, if you have a strong point, why not rock it? Go to my soundcloud.... www.soundcloud.com ..... THOSE are LIVE mixes that I did without any type of TV involved. Just think how shitty it would be if you guys were in that position. It's ROUGH, to say the least, the very very least.

All good dude, we know how reality TV works, props!

Real talk homie, I've had my share of asses in the last couple of days coming at me sideways, alot of DJ's i USED to respect. You're the realest dude I've spoken to so far so respect and much love to you man. I appreciate you not jumping to conclusions brother. Stay up and let me know if you need any mixes! Hit me on twitter @realDJPM and DM your info, i'll follow you and hit you with mine right back.

no dout bro much respect to you for gettin that far, reality shows have an agenda and its well known that they edit and manipulate shit to create a show, thas why its a show not a contest.

Look at the bright side, you only gotta deal with people shit until the next guy gets the boot, and with the way reality tv works the bootings will be more extremem each time, by the time theres a winner noone will even remember you lost. Keep ya head up peace out and tell Martin Solveig i said whatup

After seeing that YouTube interview I think everyone did a collective face palm...

Btw dj Eloy says what up!

@Bezzle Thank you family you do the same and rock those crowds man! I'll tell Martin you said whattup on Sunday! If you guys are free come have a drink at our table we will be at Yost! All are welcome to come, I got you! @Joshua Thank you homie, I was doing a face palm myself hahahaha, Eloy, whattup family! That's my man right there, how y'all doing?!

I'm sorry to sound like an a**hole. But, you just said your rocking the stage with Martin Solvieg and your on TV (that stands for Television). I can't and won't feel sorry for you and though we may be the best in friends, I don't think it's right to bring a sob story like this, in a room of "nobodies" who have no issue dealing with what you're dealing with. Shit...what your dealing with now (and making mad career moves) is shit some of us deal with everyday at our f**ked up day jobs.

I'm sorry guys, I'm not with this "feel sorry for PM" thing. You knew what you were getting into when you got on the show! Dude...(wake up slap) YOU GOT ON TV!. People know you! You can get hella money doing gigs! Stop feeling sorry for yourself and start feeling the fame that others wish they could have had! Dayum! SMH.

i aint mad at you, but if you go to a comp like that, what would you really expect? Seems like if you get that break to make a nationally televised tv show, fixed or not, you gotta be prepared for anything. but its whatever, i'm just sayin, you got out there and did your thing, and thats all that matters.

I'm sorry to sound like an a**hole. But, you just said your rocking the stage with Martin Solvieg and your on TV (that stands for Television).

forum crashed.

Exactly.

the exact quote is the 'i was dubbed dj pm after my style resembled dj am's'

and, 'i hate djs that stare at their computers'

The problem with this statment is that in the end bo matter how prepared he was this ISNT A REAL CONTEST its avtv show and as a tv show all ofvthe power lies in the editing room not the stage

Essentially saying this guy lost because he wasnt prepared is the same as watching wrestlemania this weekend and saying cm punks gonna lose to the undertaker because he hasnt practiced the sleeper hold enough

Finally watched the show.

DJ Pete Magma - your post-cut interview was the best. Everyone else said something predictable like "this isn't the end" or "I'll be back stronger than ever" or some other cliche' deal.

Your "I'm pissed, man" was perfect.

From my prospective when PM said his idol was DJ AM I expected DJ Am type stuff.. I think most did and I am sure your getting a lot of back draft/hate from that alone. Your automatically held to a DJ AM standard and I bet most people assumed you where taught by him. I was in the Bed with my wife when the statement was made and I was like he is about to tear some shit up... AM WAS A BEAST. Coupled with the name DJ PM well you kinda expected Dj Am to floating over your shoulder. After the few seconds we saw she said I could beat him,,,,, she has never touched a TT in her life,,, but she liked the Ipod dude.....WTF.... lol he was good....

I could clearly see you were out of you element as the performance was severely lacking, and I do understand reality tv, I would hate if they took my set and just gave me songs right before I went in. This explains why everyone was looking so hard at their laptop screens :)... I don't think it was a sob story more so then you stating facts but most dj's will not accept/let you get away that excuse because a dj preform under those conditions quite often. Add to the fact that if your a dj you should be versed in hop-hop and if you haven't played hip-hop in years it should be like riding a bike you don't forget. I myself have been out of my element a few times it's a learning experience, hopefully you learned something from this whole ordeal. The TV Show fudged your rep, and that should be a learning experience to everyone reading this tread. I never felt the need to kick a man when he was down because one day he might get up and kick you... Do your thing P.M......!!!!

There's a rather large difference between idolization and imitation. You can respect someones style without adapting to it.

This is true,,,, I idolize DJ JAZZY Jeff but can't scratch at least not like him,,,,,, but since I repsect his sytle I did try and learn it,,,, can I be Jeff hell no!!! But I can at least scratch that's the least I owe to someone I idolize... But hey that's just me.... My point was how the general dj see it,,,, I saw it as such at the time just sharing incite form my propesctive.

Simply put had he not Name Dropped do you think he would have gotten this much backlash...?

How is saying someones your idol name droppin

Im in the same boat as dude, i loooove the way am played, hes one if my all time faves for the way he plays....but i live edm music allooott more so tjats what i play

Bezzle,,,,,, Had he just said I am DJ PM(without any mention to DJ AM) do you think he would have gotten so much backlash. I don't that is all I am saying. I'm not downing PM by any means please understand that.

To answer the question anytime you say any name other than yours you are name dropping.

so that's why you like EDM


nm

So should i start bashing you for droppung 3 names here...and should we now expect you to sound like pm am and me since your dropping our names cause id love to hear how that combination works out lol

In my book, you're either a fan or a performer. You may like someone, but you have your own style. I LOVE PRINCE but I never tried to copy his music because I couldn't and didn't want to (plus he's way more talented than me). When it comes to "mimicking" or DJing like a certain DJ, it would be the guy who trainer back in 83'. But, even now my style is different from his. If someone keeps mentioning other DJs, it concerns me about their own self image.

I won't say the show is crap or not. If more viewers are watching it, essentially it's a success. The question you have to ask yourself is if the viewing experience entertaining? Do Does it spur emotions out of you and make you wanna watch again or don't watch again...yes. It's Drama! This new EDM twist will increase it's popularity. Were there things unfair about it? Yes. At every level. But, that's life.

lol,,,, Why do I even Try...after all it's Bezzle.... Yeap I named dropped,,,, and I am working on adapting your style as we speak... cause your my idol. :) As far as bashing me I could careless, as should he or you for that matter. I have not bashed anyone today. Preception is Nine Tenths of the Law... What was your perception of what happened with PM on the show. Did he preform well to you, was he set up, was he in over his head, did they fudge him by having him play something he never plays, had he not said DJ AM was idol would people look at him differently. ....

Bezzle even you can play more than one Genre of music correct, I would bet that you could play many,,,, that's all I have to say.

I have no idea i dont watch that garbage lol ;)

lol

Fucker!!!!!! lol

Well I think they all got fudged except those they wanted to stay on the show. I am sure they got stuff in their field.

I'm entering next year with just a cowbell.

;-)

nm

i got that bezz, but the reality is that you are on tv for 15-30 seconds, and like i said if its fixed or not, you can look like you suck or look like you can at least know how to dj, IF you get a routine down for each occasion.

YOu might be on Monday nite raw, but you dont have to come out in khakis and a polo and terribly outta shape. at least look like a wrestler. from his 15 secs it looked like he'd been djing for a year or so.

Im entering with a cowbell iPhone app

lol

I'm keeping it real. Just a cowbell. Fuck that app BS.

:-P

nm

but now i can concentrate on other things, like my v-neck sweater

hahahahaha

nm

Once again untrue, 2 things

A) i havent seen the episode but i can say that the magic of editing can make anyone look good or bad, if you come to wrestle fat and out of shape but they edit ir so you only see your best moves and cut out you puking in the corner afterwards youll still look great

B) about having a routine, imagine this senario, the producers see u have a huge following and a name, the hit you up and unvite you to come in personally, you come in skip the line audition and they tell you your great they say last year was hiphop but they want a new direction since edms hot and your style is what they want, they tell you to go put together the hotest edm set you can, you say hey just so you know i just do house, they say exactyly we love it just do you. You go home and put together a nice set, you show up for filming and say your sure i can just do house right and they say yes thats this years direction is edm edms hot scratchings sooi last year. Then the next thing you know your given a handful of hiphop tracks capris clownin ya and the same producer who told edms what their after is calling you a dumb fuck for not knowing who to scribble flare outta jurrasic 5

Every year these threads are more entertaining than the show.

but I'm keen on a few of the DJ's this year, we'll see what happens.

but if you havent watched the episode, how can you really see what goin on? If you dont have and major screw ups, nothing to edit and as far as the routine goes. If you go in and smash like DYnamix, theres no editing. None of the judges were asking for technical scratching.

ssl has crates, on the plane ride you can easily put 5-10 crates together of different genre playlist. its really not hard.

Still missing the point though, if a producer is in your ear before hand going we looove what you do THATS WHAT WE WANT,who in their right mind would go..hmmm im going to put together something completly different than what their telline they want

i get that, just saying be prepared for anything. you and i take gigs all the time, that say bezz we want you to play hip hop/edm/house/pop then halfway through the gig they say, hey we have a big spender/celebrity/owner here that want to hear something different. so you have a backup plan. I would say being on a national tv show, would even have you more on alert, knowing that millions are going to see you in perpetuity.

acidcow.com

just because.
ya'll need some joy in your life, its friday son!

damn that rack.....

False...noone with money comes to the places i play lol jk ;)

.....ya im good now thanks bro lol

Thanks Man I really needed that your a lifesaver.

F&cK Master of the FIXXXX

It's PM. See here is what you don't understand. When you are house DJ and producer, you need to worry about your branding. So, the question is, is it better to flop hip hop and rep house music or is it better to make yourself out to be a hip hop DJ and then have issues breaking the house market. The house market is very against hip hop DJ's breaking onto the Top 100, mainly because they don't want the genre's to co-exist at festivals like tomorrowland. Europe has a massive house following and that's where house DJ's aspire to go. I am very brand specific and it is not worth ruining everything I have worked towards in house to spin hip hop on TV for 20 seconds. I chose to stick with my brand, now if you feel differently then that is your views and your opinion, but tell me, is it worth the risk? My dream is to be a house DJ on stage at Tomorrowland, not a DMC champion. Everyone has different dreams and it's up to you to follow yours. DMC champions are super talented and so are house producers. It's a matter of YOUR dream. You can judge 15 second of TV OUTSIDE my genre of music and expertise OR you can go to my soundcloud and listen to what I specialize in and my credentials in MY industry. Believe me, you can say you would be, could be, should be prepared, but being in the situation when it happens is much much different. Any great sets take planning and meticulous construction, even if it's only a couple of minutes. Especially with house music.

What about the part that wasn't in the show that also went on to say, "that was when I was 18-21 years old, but I do strictly house music name and go under Pete Magma."

Don't jump to conclusions so quick about TV man, it's entertainment.

Nice to meet you.

The whole thing boils down to the DJ AM stuff created drama, drama draws ratings. Full statements are obviously too long to put on TV so they edit things to fit. I did idolize AM, tried his style for years, but I am just too into house music and I don't enjoy open format clubs. It's just my personal preference and I switched about 2 years ago. Don't even really use PM anymore unless someone puts it on a flyer by mistake. My name is Pete Magma. Everyone is granted their opinion but everyone also has that same right to guide their career in the direction they see fit. I might have flopped hip hop, but I guarantee that a lot of "house purists" appreciate that I didn't sell out and claim to be a hip hop DJ. Watch my real elimination vid on youtube or vh1.com and you will see that I clearly stated, "I'm a house music DJ, I don't play hip hop. You told me I could play house." They put that online but not on the show because if it was on the show it would have made things clear and way less dramatic. It's TV.

BIASED STATEMENT BUT TRUE:

EDM is a less demanding Genre' than any other Genre' of DJ music. It's ALL mostly one speed (128 give or take), Has long intros for mixing and lots of accapella parts to mix over. Hip Hop is NOT the most difficult, but it has MUCH smaller windows of Opportunity and in ways, forces one to have better motor skills (hand to ear) that many other Genre's. EDM is EDM music. Other than some digitally put together "mashups".

I seen hip hop DJs use rock, dancehall, reggae, classical, jazz, etc in their "performances". Even though they use different Genre's it's still a "Hip Hop" style of Mix/Scratching.

MOM made the right decision (for them) to add EDM. Its' one of the most popular world Genre's, right now and will definitely add a larger audience. The Problem is EDM and Hip Hop DON"T MIX (no pun intended) . The music and culture is completely different (very little to do with race).

I predict that next year we will see two different shows "EDM life" and "MOM". Which is the way it should be done. I don't even know if there was an EDM judge on the panel. This is if they really want to hold a real competition.

In conclusion - I'm shallow (like most viewers)

Though I love hip hip and R&B, I prefer to watch a hot chick with personality mix EDM than watch a bunch of dudes with no exceptional talent juggle and scratch. Conversely for the women, they want to see "hunks" WITH PERSONALITY & LOOKS DJ. They don't care about skills.

THIS GUY GETS IT!!

Ya i love all those trap,dubstep,breaks, and drum and bass that are at 128.........facepalm at your statment

Again completlt wrong hiphop people are to stubbern but edm culture loves hiphop as well thats why there are so many edm remixs and this little thing sweeping the nation called trapstep

And again untrue

all im hearing is excuses. just because you are dj pm that plays/produces house, doesnt mean you can be dj pete that plays at bottle service gigs for money and dj experience. Daniel from La riots is one person that comes to mind that hasnt had any problem with doing both.

and besides, going from your soundcloud, you are playing pop/club beatport 100 house, its not like you are playing underground real house or tech house. i can understand if you are trying to be the next crosstown rebels or hot creations signee, but ive heard plenty of people bang out that club chz that can dj hip hop or any other kind of music.

Those are different sub Genre's dude.

Let's see here...you mentioned

Trap (It's TRAP not EDM)
Dubstep ( I do remember deadmau stating he dislike for dubstep. He happens to be an EDM Artist so obviously that's NOT EDM)
Drum and Bass (which has been around BEFORE EDM) <<---Electronica maybe.

That's why they names these TRAP, DUBSTEP AND D&B. you can throw them in there with EDM but at best an "altered form".

I can understand where dude is comming from 100%, i was playin some of the largest venues in my area but i never got booked at shows i WANTED to play, i though people were jealous but ifigured out the reason was at the large clubs im playing the wobble and gucciman all night so people assumed thats what i enjoyed so the didnt book me for undergrounds, then when i got booked at a few i realused people who enjoyed me at my residencys would cime to the undergrounds and bitch all night. My solution was to leave the high profile high paying gigs and enbed myself in the scene i love, now ik opening for my fave artists instead of playing music made by retards to retards

all electronic club music(outside of rap/hip hop, although it is electronic and people dance to it) is going by edm these days torch. its an umbrella term.

The LA Riots? That's who you used as a reference? How about Richie Hawtin, Tiesto, Robbie Rivera, Above and Beyond, Cosmic Gate, ATB....need I continue? The LA Riots are not strictly house music either, I've seen them multiple times drop hip hop. I'm not attacking you my friend, I'm simply stating that in order to judge someone in the house culture, you must completely understand house music and bringing up the LA Riots definitely doesn't do that justice. I spin what I choose to spin, if people like hip hop, great, but I like playing house. It's two different arts that are INCOMPARABLE. If you think spinning house is easy then odds are you aren't spinning it right. The mixes should be seamless and incapable of being told apart from an untrained ear. Hip Hop is choppy because the beats are different in their entirety most of the time. House is all about harmonies. I can sit here and bash hip hop DJ's for not harmonizing sometimes but I don't because in their art, I must respect their specific craft.

Edm is the unbrella term that covers electronic dance music, if you dont know that i dont know what to tell ya.

So what category do these genres fall under? Country? Jazz?

Absolutely untrue, my Ibiza mix has some Top 100 tracks other underground tracks and I guarantee most people can't name the first few tracks used in the Sex and Champagne mix. I DJ top 100 on soundcloud because those are for my radio show, and those sets are more mainstream. Also, unless you have come to my shows you can't possibly know what I spin to open with before 1 A.M. hits. All tech house. Tech house is my favorite genre, I produce tech house.

i totally get that, but because you go take a pop gig, its not going to ruin your rep. I'm in a similar situation, because i never wanted to play pop music, or terrible club music, but if its a gig that i can take, because i keep up with hip hop/edm/underground house/techno, i can take all these gigs. People know i can play both, so i get booked for pop or underground gigs. Of course 7 years of being bottle service dude in my area, doesnt always help, but once i play, most people get that i can do both and my 12 years experience kind of proves im not bs'ing and gonna break out into lil wayne at an afterhours gig instead of playing club electro house/crap whatever you wanna call it.

Quoted for greatness..if deadmau5 dont like it its not edm lol...dude deadmau5 signed skrillex

I believe EDM is a marketing term. Otherwise hip hip would be EDM cause it's all electronic these days.


My argument is Drum and Bass. If you are older, you and I both know D&B was around long before people were saying the name EDM. Its' marketing. 30 years ago it was called 80's rock.

Yes which makes trap dubstep drum and bass drumstep ect ect _____ <~fill in the blank

that's called business

OK


Again, not true in its entirety. We are talking about two different circumstances. If you could go hear Swedish House Mafia spin hip hop would there house mean as much to the community? DJ'ing for paid gigs and money is a different situation than pursuing a career in music production in the international market. Gigging all different types of places is great, if that's what you want to continue doing. Don't expect to see someone club hopping on the Top 100 for house music though. They would never get the credit they deserved nor the respect. You can name a few DJ's spinning at festivals that spin hip hop but are they making nearly the money as big house guys? In that case, do they demand the same crowd even? They are fantastic DJ's but the house music market is biased and very selective, especially at Tomorrowland and ADE.

^im sooooooo amped for tommarowland this year!!!!!!

using ritchie hawtin and atb in the same point seems to be a wide argument. Im not hearing any minimal techno or techno at all from you. Im not the one that is arguing the point that its easy or requires no talent to spin tech house or techno or any music that isnt turtablized til i wanna kill myself. Ive said that often in this forum. thats torch and he clearly doesnt know what the hell hes talking about.

the bottom line is you made several statements that were a bit questionable. even when you said if i had 10 mins i would kill the comp. Would you? you can mix house sets in 10 mins either, if you are talking about what you are talking about in terms of harmonic mixing, and seemless mixing. As we both know if you are house dj playing for a big club, you are probably only gonna mix 2 songs in that time.

you can club hop all you want if you make the tunes/have someone make the tune(aoki, etc) that people like and get plays on Youtube/soundcloud. YOu can make press packets, get a booking and pr agent, and in the end it comes down to you making tracks that people like and play. it doesnt matter if you played a few local pop gigs. talent, looks, and popularity, mainly in combination are what makes those artists that you aspire to be.

I can absolutely mix at least 4 songs in 10 minutes, I can actually mash up 3 in a few minute mashup. I do it regularly at shows live. It's all about taking acapellas over a melody and dropping a harmonic drop from something else in. Not all DJ's let songs play for five minutes. Have you ever seen Axwell? Dude drops like 8 songs in 4 minutes. He is insane. That's real house performing, letting songs play until the outro and mixing in an intro is song playing. Yes, if I had ten minutes I could have done some cool stuff but neither here nor there, that's not meant as an excuse, it was taken from a conversation I was having. Again, TV.

Dosent matter, using you own logic deadmau5 is an edm artist wuth an edm label who signed the biggest name in dubstep to his edm lable, you wanna know why it worked well.....
CAUSE ITS ALL EDM LOL

Ok, so name me 5 give in the top 20 that played hip hop clubs or pop clubs. Name 3. You can't, because they haven't. That's the difference between being a house music purist and an open format DJ. Those guys were playing underground raves man. Believe me, I've seen Angello and many of them before they even blew up. All house.

THIS people who dont attend shows wouldnt know but quickixings big in edm now...its not about long blends you gotta get to those drops!!

EDM is ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC. House is not the same thing in its entirety. Many sub genre's.

Amen.

Im not talkin bout house im talkn bout trap dubstep dnb

I know my edm damnit IM PLURER THAN A MUTHAFUKA!!!! LOL

of course, ive been to the festivals, i know how people mix, i regularly open for big name djs. and im not saying they were playing madonna before they took the big stage, im just saying that at some level where they werent only playing big festivals and raves. many played in smaller club at some level in their career(1-500 people). And im only saying having the skills of doing quick mixing(which you say you have) easily translates into creating a short set of hip hop and or pop. as i stated before, if nothing else go to a club or call a friend thats a dj that plays that stuff and take notes, before you go to a major contest that gonna be on tv instead of making yourself look foolish. Im not saying its bad to be a house dj or producer or that you have to kill your name by doing anything of house. If anything hip hop is easy to drop and baby scratch in tracks. even if you had done that well, you would have looked better than 80% of the people on the show, editing or not.

Great another bezzle logical connection thread.

LOL!! IKR!

i know my EDM, look at this black eye peaz megamix i made lol

Is this good times gone bad????? gifsoup.com

@bezzle .. uh ok? so house edm falls around the 128bpm mark.. and your trapstep/dubstep etc falls around 70.. wow 2 limited BPM ranges. hooray.

vs playing the entire range of bpms..

Since you guys are talking EDM and all that stuff...

You should battle....
















Using HipHop... :-/

www.google.com

ummmm..
Watchwww.youtube.com

Not this debate again....ugh.

Did you just bring a Skam Artist DJ into a house conversation?! Dude, I like Bad Boy Bill. But, once again, we are talking about PURE HOUSE DJ's. We are not talking about guys like Bad Boy Bill, who is a SICK DJ, but is apples to oranges when it comes to Angello, Deadmau5, etc. I'm yet to see someone bring up Junior Vasquez, Junior Sanchez, Carl Cox. Those guys hang out in Ibiza all day, I know that because I'm spinning with them this summer in Ibiza. Those are the guys to refer to. Put it this way, any huge house DJ has played Space and Bora Bora. If they haven't, they aren't truly on the house scene as of yet. You need to realize the difference between music lover clubs and clubs that bring in the most people to get a bang for their buck. Huge, huge difference. Space has NEVER had a "hip hop" night like most of these smaller clubs do. They need to keep their doors open so more power to them, but don't try and compare because there is absolutely no comparison. Space in Ibiza feels like your main stage at Ultra. Completely different league of nightclub. EDM has gone corporate here, and once something goes corporate it is milked for all it's worth and thrown aside. Europe has had a strong house scene for over 20 years, that same scene is starting to fizzle out here in less than a year. Anyone care to speculate on why? Corporate involvement. It loses its purity and becomes a cash cow. Also, in Europe, people dance at festivals. Everyone jumps up in the air at these local festivals. It feels great to know you're making people dance. Making people jump is easy, throw on a ridiculous hard, noisy sound and put a high synth over it. Boom, all of a sudden you're a pro. Nicky Romero doesn't even really play hard house in the European market, he's all tech and deep house/funky house. Again, I chose to stick to my brand, not that I couldn't baby scratch because I can scratch, I had no interest in repping myself that way and absolutely nothing to prove to a mostly hip hop oriented panel and viewers. I spin house, I'll always spin house and I have zero interest in spinning hip hop. Why go against your own brand?

Firstly, house and "edm" which isn't even a genre, it's a marketing tactic, fall under WAY more than 128. That's the problem here, no one gives credit where credit is due. House ranges into the 140's depending on the type. Trance especially. Trap and Dub run into the 80's. Again, it's not the fact of NOT BEING ABLE TO spin those genre's, it's the fact of WHY SPIN THEM WHEN IT'S NOT WHAT YOUR TRYING TO GAIN FAME IN? You might think it doesn't affect you, but I ASSURE you man, I have experienced FIRST HAND that it does affect you and certain clubs WILL NOT TOUCH YOU if you have any hip hop venues on your EPK. I've spun 250 venues here and in 8 countries, including Dubai, the international market is WAY different than the market in the U.S. and they don't take risks on hip hop DJ's because there crowds at those venues will simply walk out. Most of those places don't even get the same hip hop being released here until way after the fact. You walk into Tunisia or Amsterdam and drop the new Rick Ross record. They will look at you like you have 8 heads. Fact. That's why I switched and won't spin hip hop anymore, not worth undoing all my hard work for 20 seconds that people will forget about in 2 months.

Mix wasn't bad homie keep doing your thing. I suggest though, possibly staying away from the Black Eyed Peas when in a house discussion because purists will jump all over that. i12inch.com has a good house selection and livingelectro.com as well. Mostly forums have the exclusive stuff you won't hear anywhere and that most Top 100 guys use. Rock out brother.

Me2! I'm going for sure, I want to book Electric Zoo in NY this year, talking about it with people there now. That would be an insane experience, especially cuz I'm from NY lol.

I'll always spin house and I have zero interest in spinning hip hop. Why go against your own brand?


Watchwww.youtube.com 1:53

that's not house man. just sayin..

Clearly. Did you read the post that I said I stopped 2 years ago. That was 2 years ago, or maybe even more. Thank you for finding that though, did you happen to hear the transforms and crabs through the noise? Like I said, I CAN scratch, just choose not too.

It's funny because you're probably the only one on this whole forum trying to come at me, yet other DJ's on here know the situation they saw and have concluded that something "probably wasn't right". There's a reason for that.

Honestly.. I'm bored.I have nothing against You I'm just keeping it real. That's what I do here when I frequent these forms.

Sorry I did not read the post. The scratching was ok. Not bad but nothing to write home about. The only reason I say this is because I'm advocate when it comes to scratching.

Stalkers are funny. lol

nm

Exactly, I'm not a DMC champ, never claimed to be, but I can scratch. End of the day, TV is TV, could have happened to any one of us. Nonetheless, It was a pleasure meeting you my man. Hit me on Twitter @Realdjpm and I'll follow you homie.

Thanks and your 150% correct about house purists, jumping all over some of my selections. It's kinda why I named it a "Party" mix because the mix is made for a general public who" just wanna party".

I appreciate the references, though. I will look into both sources.

No doubt my man. Believe me I know ALL ABOUT people jumping on you over something lol. It's all good though, each person has unique music and a unique vision. It's art. People told picasso he was whack too, look at him today.

LOL! Yeh...he's dead...lol j/k. I feel you tho.

Haters will always be around. Release that pain and anger into your mixes. You will then create something that will make you stronger. When you feel bad about what people say about you, think about how far you've come and that it's only because you are succeeding that it's all happening like this. It sounds crazy, but it's better to perform well and be dissed in front of thousands than to be dissed by no one. If you're dissed by no one, then no one is listening to you lol!

You're a real dude homie. Very well said. Respect my man. Hit me up on Twitter @realdjpm let's connect on there

Hate how this show is edited. Its not for anybody who knows anything about djing. You cant hear the blends,cuts,transitions between songs. WACK

thats because skills dont matter, its a BET and SMIRINOFF commercial, trust me if they could book paris hilton top be their DJ company face for the price of some well connected reigonal guy who gets to say he won a contest

I thought this was on VH1.

Just had this same discussion recently.

Well, I just saw the Full Episode of the Auditions...

2 Things....

That iPod guys is around for controversy.....That's it.

And DJ PM...

Sorry ma dude, but you should have been prepared for what they were asking for...

You've seen the show, and you were probably hearing the others that went before you...

Epic fail on your part for falling for the 3 card monte, but props for getting there in the first place...

Damn, I just watched the auditions and I gotta agree. I was cringing. I gotta say though, maybe 2 or 3 of the cats on there were pretty solid. Gotta see more of the show though to really judge.

LMFAO!!!!

Finally got to see the 1st episode. My thoughts are:

Chris Karns - because I know what he can do as an elite battle DJ, I don't think he'll necessarily win it all, but you have to think he won't be an early exit DJ. Next to Precision, no one can match his juggling skills. Not sure if this'll translate into the 'mix' though. He may be in trouble down the line.
DJ B-Hen - seems confident on the stage (presence) but he doesn't need to be like Cutmaster Swift and dance like a clown. Tone that down and you may be alright.
DJ Dynamix - the snippets I saw of his performance seemed like he is dope with battle skills and can be creative at the same time.
DJ Locsi - please stop pantomiming to the crowd; we know the words.
DJ Dimepiece - sounds like she could rock an urban crowd but she'd better show some diversity or she'll be gone.
DJ Fly Guy - why where you typing anything in the laptop? Those songs shoulda been in exact order and your set pre-scripted and ready-to-go.
Jayceeoh - the way they edited your set, I can't tell what you got. You made it to the next round though, so rock on.
DJ Tina T - nice scratching (for a girl). I'd like to see her in the future episodes to see what she's really made of.

My $.02
(nm)

Oh, and one last thing....

Bezzle is the FARTHEST from the "Realest" dude on here...lol...

But again, that goes back to you studying WHERE you are and WHO you'e associating with...and acting accordingly..... :)

lmao...

I like Bezzle because he's a nice dude and he relates to things that go on in reality TV, so to me he's real as they get. Now, there's things you don't know that I can't disclose and you saying "you heard the dudes before you" and "watching the other two seasons" are both not accurate. The two seasons before were on BET, this was supposed to be an all around competition, not a DMC battle. I don't care how much you prepare a set, if you're not a DMC guy, you won't show the judges what they're looking for. I don't battle, I've said that 1 zillion times. Also, editing a set for ratings doesn't do justice to me and my craft, which is house. I'm a great house DJ and I book major shows because of that. Honestly, I could care less if people in the DMC community think I'm good or not, because they are irrelevant to my career.

I appreciate the props! Honestly, it wasn't the right opportunity for me and I'm not salty because it was an experience and that is what life is about. Taking a lesson from it goes without saying, but the biggest lesson I took is to stay in my house music lane and not even entertain these "battles". It's Master of the Mix but it seemed like they were looking for Master of the Tricks.

Johnny, the Ipad guy is Hohme. One of my closest friends and a RIDICULOUSLY nice House DJ. He's on there because he rocks crowds, I've seen it myself, but the Ipad stuff is definitely being played up for controversy. He's solid though dude, really talented and really nice as a person. That's the thing, a lot of DJ's hate in the battle world, but in the house world we aren't used to that because it's all about the love and peace in house music. We support each other, it seems the battle guys just talk smack and hate on one another. I'm cool on that whole scene, definitely not who I am as a person.

I just finally watched the episode. LMFAO! The edit on my set was hilarious, all I can say is WOW that it was edited to look like that. Wow. I'll post a video in a couple of days of me doing the set I played and you can all judge for yourselves.

They named it "Master of the MIx" because you "MIx" drinks. It really is not a direct description of what's going on.

I should have added "Seagrams" is their sponsor and thats' the drink they "Mix">

Pete,

Don't bother uploading your set. You have nothing to prove to us. You obviously know what you're doing and have skills. Don't let this eat away at you. Focus at leveraging your enhanced fame into bookings and what not. Focus your energy on your career and expressing your PERSONALITY online. Focus on your "Swagg" and your "Brand". Your booking agent needs to work his/her ass off to capitalize on your blessings. When is the next time you're playing in Vegas?

0_o

Ok, I see you're easily impressed and influenced...so I'll just let that simmer...

He DOES, however have a hell of a GROUPIE/SIDEKICK team....who dances...



So, you're saying you didn't WATCH the show before this season, and know the general flavor?

To ME, I didn't see a DMC Battle, I just saw a bunch of DJ's, some of who COULD have gotten in the DMC, but there were STILL a gang of others who just rocked out...AND DIDN'T necessarily stilck to HIPHOP...

There were QUITE a few cats playing beats over 100 BPMS....

LOL @ the judge mistaking that HOUSE Classic for a Jazz mini set...

smh.

I actually haven't played Vegas too much. I'm managed by Umbrella Group out there so it's funny I rarely play, but looking to come back soon. I'll be in Ibiza from May til August.

No, I'm saying that the other two seasons were supposed to be completely different than this one according to them, so that's where the confusion was. If I would have known it was gunna be a battle I'd of kept my ass home.

Both of you are correct.

They did say "all styles welcome". But, they setup everything in a way that was "Hip hop battle friendly". This don't mean you're forced to use hip hop, but the transition style is a hip hop style. EDM is at a huge disadvantage in this arena.

Do you live in racoon city...ITS YOUR FAULT!!! LOL

pete made it the final cut down before the show aired. just shows you how screwed up the show is. lol lol
www.facebook.com

Damnit Bezzle - I was just about to post that!

lol

The DJs who last the longest on the show will be the ones are the most popular with the viewers.

Or the one that already won when shooting wrapped up last month.... you think this is actually filmed week to week?

:D

This...the winner will be the one the show edited to impress the viewers

LOL you mean it's not "real"???

lol, if anyone really wants to know how these things go down (or just really wanna kill time) adam corolla and penn jillette did an episode of the adam corolla podcast where they went over all the tricks pulled on celebrity apprentence, things like doing everyones exit interview the first day of filming BEFORE the contest so that they had usable footage just incase someone was pissed about how things went down and editing different days footage together into one string to make it look like arguments happened that didnt

He even talked about how the producers would explain contest rules to them and the rules that were aired on the finished product were completley different

This taking from the FB page,,,,,,,,,,,


Chris Karns
I just watched the first episode of Master of the Mix online. I am hesitant to post the link to watch it online because they completely BUTCHERED my set. They dubbed in different audio than what I actually played. WOW...





www.vh1.com

i love the irony of forcing you to watch a 15 sec commercial before ou watch a 20 minute commercial

This is the first time I'm watching this show and I'm encouraged. If it's around next year, I'm in this b****. SO far Jayceeyo and Fly Guy performed the best.

1 minute sets?

Big Mistake Dynamix, He did too much scratching to me and didn't mix enough.

er how long were they?

Tina can sratch, but transitions... not enough mixing...

Chris, same thing. Too much scratching not enough music.

mark my words JAYCEEYO FTW

I wish more ex participants would come out with the truth.

Probably signed a NON-DISCLOSURE IRON CLAD contract...

Why dude get mad and leave the show. His set could have been better, like most of the other DJs. So, I assume if he leaves they'll bring Hohme back.

He really shouldn't have been in the bottom 2 over BHen. Dude ended his set a min. early..

There's nothing to come out about. It's like any other competition show (i.e. american idol).

Bhen had a better set, though. Bhen was lucky, though. He could have been disqualified.

I just saw the show for the first time and.....

I gotta admit I am absolutely amazed at how you were able to come to this conclusion as ALL the dj sets were edited to sound like complete shit.

It was very easy to me. Very easy...

Did we watch the same show ? (scratching head)....lol

I wasn't in the same room as you. So, I can't be for sure. But, it was easy to judge them. Most of the DJs did too much of one thing and not enough of another.

Are you basing your opinion on what the judges say or the actual performance ?
