Winnie :-) Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 If a collection is that good then you can still 'play what folks want' without resorting to a spot comprising mainly boots.

Cover-up Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 if you want original stick to the big nighters where they can afford big names This is something I've never understood - it's implied that the big venues properly pay DJs, so they can afford these "big" records. As far as I'm aware, a DJ fee for an hour slot will rarely be over £100 - which isn't going to get you too far when it comes to the "big tunes". Most DJs who have the best collections simply have quite a lot of money to begin with. Obviously some were picking records up for buttons in the 80s, but c'mon - Ginger paying 2 or 3 grand or whatever for that Parliaments 45. If I was a DJ starting off, I'd quite happily mix legal re-issues with originals. All the Lou Pride stuff was recently issued, with money going directly to the artist - what on earth would be the point in shelling out a grand for an original? REALLY? To show that I somehow have more of a "right" to play it than another DJ with more spare cash? If it's been re-issued - move along, find the next big thing. [PS Why does everyone moan that no venues have CD players? You can buy a portable discman for a tenner - LESS THAN IT COSTS FOR ONE VINYLCARVER - why not play "original" CDs?] Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

All my subsequent comments have been of a general, non-specific nature in the debate about OVO or boots (or whatever) at soul nights. At no point have I made any direct comment about the specific soul night or the DJ in question as I have no direct knowledge of either.

Cunnie Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 THE,S JUST NO NEED FOR ALL THIS B**L**KS.......ENOUGH,S BEEN SAID ON THIS SUBJECT!!! So here's how I see the thread ending. Your nameless mate joins Soul Source & puts up a post saying they were all requests & she was playing to the dancefloor. Probably uses a name like Sorry Soulie Girlie & uses a crying smiley (closest I could find). The Soul Police (whoever they are) decide the only suitable punishment is to tar & feather her but as it's a first offence they take pity & suspend the sentence. Sorry Soulie Girlie say's she's been a very naughty girl & won't do it again & everybody takes pity on her & takes her under their wings. Everything turns out great for Sorry Soulie Girlie & she gets loads of bookings & even goes on to win the dance contest at the next Blackpool weekender (ah bless). Everything on Soul Source returns to normal & we all live happily ever after. End of part one................ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pauldonnelly Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I think its really sad that people have to resort to playing counterfeit music to get and give a buzz, I'm sure there is an analogy out there somewhere however at the moment I can't be arsed to even think of one let alone two. I wish those that play boots, start their sessions with a "I'll be playing illegal copies tonight because I'm a top notch jock not a "Ive got more money than sense collector" "No compromise. no surrender, keep counterfeit record in your box at 'ome" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Been plenty of posts on the other side as well. As I said in an earlier post about 500 pages ago, if someone is familiar with the soul scene then they should be aware that playing boots is controversial. And if you're going to put yourself up as a DJ then you have to be prepared to defend your choice in records, both in musical taste and in format - if you're not then you shouldn't be doing it.
