    Nice to see that he wasnt playing a load of his own tunes, or a load of Poker Flats either.

    actually he was bitching on twitter the other day about people overplaying their own tracks and charting their own releases.

    Can see his point, but I figure if you don't reckon your stuff is good enough for the style you play, you're probably in a bit of trouble.

    He is a great Dj though...can never understand why he's not as popular as Sven/Richie and all tbh....his Dj mag Miami CD last year was a fave of mine...had Djulz-Just so you know (2000 and one mix) as well as Donnchadh Costello's- Black bag Job - TUNES

    agreed. one of the better cd mixes to come with a magazine.

    A&Ring 3 of the best labels going - Audiomatique, Dessous and Poker Flat. It is strange that he's not as big as Sven, Richie or Ricardo, but I think he's less fond of market overhyping than them.

    yeah he probably doesn't deserve to be included with the other two but it seems to be the same hype machine that keeps the first two on the map that keeps him on there too.

    i know a good few heads who refuse to play their own stuff out... their attitude is that they spent weeks in a studio in the dark making the tunes and by the time it was good enough to be ready for a release they were royally sick of them and would rather play something that sounded fresh to them too, rather than playing something out that they'd literally listened to for so long that they'd be hearing it in their sleep...

    I think you can only really get away with that attitude once you know that everyone else is caning your tunes though, and the first lad who told me he felt that way has been releasing tunes since 87...

    In a younger producer, yes, of course, your sound is delineated by your selection as a DJ and then you refine that with your own productions, and then after that once you have a label going you want to push the sound it promotes; all the lads who told me they don't like their own stuff enough to play it are well past the point of having to worry whether or not they can tell if whatever they've written is good enough to release and is good enough to get played...
