Mark Farina , talent wise he's among the untouchables but he doesnt let it rip ... sometimes yea, his stuff is good so u don't lose interest but i got to feed my music junkie cravings

Totally agree with this statement..When he plays he's usually hit or miss.He Just played here in Boston.I felt like he was trying to much.I mean cmon he sampled that "Voices" Track 4 times in a 2hr set.

Re: DJs you dont get

Lots mentioned here that I either don't get or don't like.

But the thing I don't get is the Djs that feel they have to play the newest and latest at all cost. And preferably something that no one else has ever played. I love hearing new music but sometimes that classic is the perfect one for the particular spot in a set. EDM stands for Electronic Dance Music, that simple. !! Most of the Djs I really love know how to incorporate old and new to get the absolute best EDM

Btw I used to love James Holden well

I don't listen to 16bit lolitas much but recently heard them on Frisky Podcast and that caught me by surprise, check it out.

Just realised maybe I wasn't suppose to link Frisky stuff, I can't keep up with the bullshit.

Anyway it's the Frisky podcast, I found the link with Google, easy enough

Re: DJs you dont get

I don't get Djs like Richie Hawtin and all the other artists from the M_nus "gang". They are all too boring.

Re: DJs you dont get

You used an analogy that doesn't apply here Feather.

We clearly differ on what Edm is, if you want to evolve your sound reinvent yourself ( which is what EDM is all about to me ) , you should be looking at different directions , it really scares the shit out of me to even think that digweed will continue to play the same producers he is currently using now to 5 years in the future.

As a dj insisting on the same producers and style of music means that either you just want to keep it nice and safe or you just have ran out of ideas.

Not entirely true ... you're of the other extreme. Are you pushing the sound for the sake of pushing it? DJs like Digweed push the sound while maintaining their taste in music. Have you caught him live?

Every single artist in History has had their time no matter how good they were, do you think all those producers are going to sound good forever ?

Which is one of the reasons I stopped listening to him since 2008 , it disappointed me to see in his charts , Wow and Guy j and Charlie may over and over again.

How long have you been listening to Digweed?

Never said it was a bad thing.

Re: DJs you dont get

I think its a great thing the polarization ... to love it or hate it , it makes people talk about music , it makes people sort of even ask themselves why? why do I like this and why do I not like this .

Never said it was a bad thing.
