| Erich Vallabhaneni 30.08.2012 | I believe it really comes down to how they ask. I agree, "I need a set list for a house party im playing tomorrow evening and i just got my first controller" is not a good way to go about it, thats being a human ipod. But if you find something you like that is new, why not ask a community of fellow dj's with experience on what kind of genre and some pointers. We're here to help and share information after all.... |
30.08.2012 | The difference between asking on a community
and asking in a record shop are pretty obvious - in a record shop the bloke (or bloke-ette) behind the counter is getting paid for their advice, and also they have a limited stock from which to recommend which makes it a lot easier. I don't see what's so wrong about finding a shop (online or off) that you like and trawling the old fashioned way, you'll end up learning more about the music and also you'll end up with a collection that is yours, not a load of stuff that lots of other people on the internet are playing. |

To believe otherwise is daft! It's even easier these days with online record shopping and services such as Spotify and Last.fm. I believe the subtle difference in the questions that appear are those that ask 'what should I play/what is good/what playlist/I wanna be a DJ, love 'EDM', what tunes are good?' and 'I'm just getting in to 'x' genre, like these tracks, I've been on a few sites to look for similar but wouldn't mind a few pointers please?'...... I know which one I'm likely to respond to and it certainly isn't the first. |

| Yong Aptekar 30.08.2012 | Hey guys, I was going to open a new thread, but decided to put my question here. I have a HUGE gig coming up in 2 days, and its my first. I've loved music my whole life, and really want to be a dJ, can you guys recommend me some really pumping EDM or techno music? The club plays really bassy music, so if you could point me in that direction that would be good. |

| Margie Pavell 29.08.2012 | number three was true... it's not about being a snob...Be unique...the world needs you to be so...stop sounding like every other DJ...please...you obviously have the passion for the music... dig deeper... |

This one time I found a perfect copy of MJ's beat it as I was beating it! It came out of my penis. Stop being a snob. If you dont want people asking for music ideas on an internet community , Leave. |

| Margie Pavell 29.08.2012 | BFLY - with your recent name calling and general douchey attitude your words have very little meaning to me. Didn't your asking for deep house thread turn into a fuster cluck? of course you aren't bothered by the posts, because you are part of them. You are right, anyone can download any top ten and sound like any other mook DJ. Therein lies the problem. Put the time in and find music that you like. Not some obscure record shop or youtube. Just beatport. I'm sorry you can't pick up your tunes at a McDonalds drive thru. PUT THE GODDAMN WORK IN. |

| Stefania Herb 29.08.2012 | i can understand all this but with the worldwideinternwebnet and sites like last.fm and spotify and soundcloud alot of these request are kinda redundant arent they? if some one said "hey i like mos def" id say "hey so do i check out last.fm or soundcloud and see what else pops up" isnt that basically helpin em out with out directly tellin em who they should listen to? i believe the reason we get alot of these request cos as dj's were expected to know every afroguettamafiaex type track and yeah sum people wanna be well snobby and try to out do their mates... kinda like track spotting but on a shittier punter level |
| Leeanna Ayla 29.08.2012 | Turning people on to music is the core reason I even started doing this 24 years ago. Sure the lazy people get on my nerves sometimes, but I even have an urge to help them when I can. |
| Janyce Henningson 29.08.2012 | Yeah there's plenty of threads where we share music we like - but it's when someone comes on asking for a playlist for a 'gig' they have in a weeks time thats annoying... |

| Judi Sissel 28.08.2012 | Has this site gone through the cycle prior this flux of 'interest' ? I figure I joined right before it really got 'out of hand', cause there used to be a lot more interesting topics in general. |
| Leeanna Ayla 28.08.2012 | Have patience young padawan. They'll soon loose interest and we'll be back to max two new pages a day of posts. |
