Tony A Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 My nomination goes to a very talented Indian guy ,who manages to play a full hr set selecting records from his dj box ... That is actually placed on his head ! He's called Ballan Singh Is that the guy with one leg ?

Guest Mike72 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 One of the best sets I heard was in a tiny upstairs room at Middleton Civic about 7-8 years ago; the DJ was a girl with short bleached blonde hair and combats, and she rocked!! If anyone knows who she is, please could they tell me her name and whether she's still DJing? She could have been concentrating on 7T's/modern stuff, but at an incredibly high tempo. Whether you DJ or not, I think it's virtually impossible to collect records without starting to specialise... Isn't that why niters feature loads of jocks playing relatively short sets, so that the 'balance' is right? Or am I talking shite? It wouldn't be the first time
Guest mickeyfish58 Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 i still think pete eccles has got the right balance, i have been with him after he as had a few pints= his balance was still spot on and he never fell over i"ll get my coat
Guest kezza a Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Heard quiet a few good djs, Ian gee seems to come out on top for me not heard him play a bad set yet. I like a dj that plays to the floor and not to his ego.
Guest JIM BARRY Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 That's funny because our Indian Butcher does the same thing while slicing a leg of pork We call him Hamed , i'll get me coat ! his brother does the same thing while cutting his lawn.....mow hamed

Perhaps that's the key to a good night, getting the right balance of DJ's. If you're listening to stuff that just isn't your bag, at least you know in an hour or less, someone should be playing something different. I think it's hard to ask a DJ to play a good balance of stuff, as everyone's opinions/tastes are different.
Guest turntableterra Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 his brother does the same thing while cutting his lawn.....mow hamed his cousin is better, you know him, the one who ties his hair in a bow with rashers of bacon......mow hamed rashid

Guest Polyvelts Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Who wants 'Balance' ?! Uncompromising upfront rare soul please !
Len Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Who wants 'Balance' ?! Uncompromising upfront rare soul please ! Unfortunately 'The Masses' do - Or we end up with some empty halls I'm afraid - Wish more had your uncompromising attitude though mate! All the best, Len. Edited April 18, 2012 by LEN
Quinvy Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Who wants 'Balance' ?! Uncompromising upfront rare soul please ! Hear, hear.............I hate a mish mash of music.........but we are all different and it's impossible to please everyone. So don't try and please everyone, just go for the people who have the same mind set as you.......that's what I did. 1
Quinvy Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Unfortunately 'The Masses' do - Or we end up with some empty halls I'm afraid - Wish more had your uncompromising attitude though mate! All the best, Len. Better empty halls with a few true music fans in, than packed halls of people who are only there because their mates are, and they might get a spot next month. Thought you were one of the few Len? 1
Guest gordon russell Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 something for everyone.......thats called a sweet shop.............you only have to read the threads for some nighters on here....the talk is of funnily sweets,lovelymaple dance floors,posh venues,how friendly everyone is,how many s.sourcers they,ve met ect! ect!...never about the music..........at most venues it,s not important to the attendees and sadly thats the truth...
macca Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Only cuz never asked Andy! Still got all my recs ;) xx All you do-runners take note! 1
