Where have all the good warm djs gone?

...such as?

private services that I do pay for...I look at it this way: you can spend TONS of time searching, downloading, bitching at cutoffs, etc. on Soulseek and the like, or you can get it through paying services, other shops, trades, etc. and pay for most of what you get...and maximize your time shopping and listening.

Besides, anyone who just uses Soulseek (like probably said example in the beginning) is still limiting themself: some place (or someone) is always going to have some track faster then some other place (or someone) and not every place is going to have every track...besides *time* is relative; I've played stuff that I've seen show up in Mark Farina's sets months later...does that make me a "better" DJ because I might have gotten that track first? Hell no; there's so much stuff coming out in this day and age that there's no way one can keep up with it.

the people that don't support the scene don't last long and have no real future. Yea, maybe they will get some small scale gigs and perhaps even get a big $50 for the night, but when they try to advance further then that they will fail because they never showed support to anyone and nobody will be there to support them. While they are frustrating, your sense of pride should have taken over and realized you were a better person in general and wasting your time with such ignorant people only drags you down to their level.

short of the fact that he swung at you first, this kid sounds like the above...I'm wondering though how Victor booked this one...never was mentioned

Re: So I had myself a fistfight at a gig....

my friend victor had seen him spin at a party in houston and really loved his music. the dj in question told victor he was hooked up with a bunch of producers and got "promo's" from them all the time etc, etc...

^^that's for you fm.....

ahhh ok got him confused with the other one...makes sense now.

Ok kids the moral of the story is check a DJ's references before booking

he won't go very far...
