I started to reply to something on here but went off track so started a new topic.
This is my own opinion. I’m not trying to have a go at any one.
There’s a lot of talk on this site, about playing CD’s or reissue’s and downloading.
If any Northern DJ? wants to play that style in a way it’s up to them, but we all know they will never get any real spots any where, that’s the way the scene works, it’s hard enough when you only have Originals in your box. Have you noticed when you DJ, the label spotters that keep walking past the decks, (unless the decks are on a stage) and they have a little look and a nod, to check every thing is ok, I’ve shared decks with people who play reissue’s, while I’m playing my originals, and for the following hour/45 mins they try to convince you, that they are happy with what they play, and it all sounds the same. (Why tell me, i don't have to explain what I play.)
It doesn’t sound the same I found out the hard way, I was at a scooter rally (in the northern room) playing the Metros. Since I found my baby. On Joker… A friend of mine walked in the back of the room, walked straight up to me with out looking at the record and said this is s*!t it sounds terrible do your self a favour chuck that in the bin and bye the Original.. I did. (Buy the original that is, I put the joker copy on ebay)
Because it was a mate I knew he was saying it to me for my own good. When your in your front room, reissues sound ok when it’s full volume at 200watts it sounds pants.
My words to any one who wants to dj is if you can’t afford the big sounds get the cheaper stuff but buy it on original, There are so many good cheap floor fillers out there, if you put a record on that there are only 3 known copies of, people will know.
Check out records that have gone out of Fashion, because they was over played 15 years ago, people loved them then, before the dj’s at the time over played them, they will love them again. Don’t follow the big boy’s, if your playing reissue’s or CD’s it just won’t work…..
Morning everyone MORDEN TONIGHT, and Baby Boy will be getting a spin, so will my new Dusty Springfield SILLY SILLY FOOL…(bought this week for £3.50 inc p&p)
As i said my own opinion.. sorry if i offend anyone, it's not intended
