Kill all (crap) DJs
Bleurghh.. a bit dazed today after a weekend of too little sleep and too much of everything else.
I ended up in the 333 club in Old Street on Friday, only to find yet again a night full of DJs playing unbearably tedious tunes.
This has happened every time recently that i've drunkenly dropped into a club instead of specifically going out to see someone. And I don't understand it. Surely as a DJ your job is to bring out the absolute best records you have in your collection, play them loudly and get everyone dancing. Instead I repeatedly have to experience boring featureless 4-4 electro-tech DJ tools. Techno without funk, thrills or feeling.
It baffles me why with so many incredibly good records in the world, why any DJ would choose to play something in a club that is not an incredibly good record.
I don't give a fuck about your mixing skills. Just play me some good music.
Such as this for instance
METRO AREA - HONEY CIRCUIT
It's from the sixth in the Metro Area series, and is right back to the quality of the first few releases after the disappointing #5. Lush disco hooks, squelchy bass and really intricate drum patterns. Yep, this would definitely get me shaking my hips (and stop me moaning about the crap music to anyone unfortunate enough to be standing nearby).
