DJ Le Roi

jonnny68

I've been singing the praises of this Swiss born Soulful House DJ now for quite sometime and with good justification, anyone into the Soulful House scene will have had their heads turned by this man, he has mixed what i reckon is one of the best albums of the year Inside My Soul - http://www.traxsource.com/index.php?act=show&fc=tpage&cr=titles&cv=57392 highly recommended, has done a couple of cracking remixes and produced some excellent Soulful House thiis being his latest offering http://www.traxsource.com/index.php?act=show&fc=tpage&cr=titles&cv=72273 again on the fantastic MN2S Label.

Check this guy out highly recommended.

I like soulful house but imo those tracks are ****e.I turned my head to vomit

milltown

I'll go easier.
I know you get a lot of stick around here Jonny, and undeservedly in my opinion as I think my tastes probably run a lot closer to yours than to a lot of the techno snobs' on the forum.
Just had a listen to the youtube track though and thought it was very average (is that an oxymoron?). Then again, I wouldn't have Coma cat in my top ten of the year either, and it's been a pretty disappointing year for me as far as finding kick-ass tracks goes.

In a nutshell yeah that was it.Dont think Johnny minds the colourful banter:)
Hardly the best track/remix of the year

your opinion of course personally speaking i think it's fantastic,you like soulful house yeah,funny that anytime ive ever mentioned that genre you've done nothing but slagged it off.

MN2S are one of the leading labels on the Soulful House scene so you'll excuse me if i don't take your comments too seriously:D

stick me,haha never mate water off a ducks back you think im bothered what people really think on an internet forum maybe one on 1 or 2 occasions i may have but i really don't care end of the day opinions are like ar*eholes everyone got one, but yeah i agree there are too many bandwagon jumpers and dance music snobs on here at times.

I don't think it's been that bad a year for music if your into Soulful / Funky House there have been some really good solid releases.

I think is it but as ive said opinions are like ars*holes everyones got one, im sure you'd pick some tune you thought was one of the best of the year and id "turn to vomit" (well maybe not vomit:p ) but id probably think it was brutal.

jonnny68

More very nice Soulful House :cool:

I like soulful house but they are a bit predictable and cheesy, sorry johnny

Maybe we should have a soulful house thread though

sorry man but ive always said i liked soulful house.I slagged you off when you claimed funky house to be some sort of high brow music genre.

Also booking Jay J to play a few gigs would lead me to believe i like soulful house

Im well aware who mn2s are,especially since ive been to there WMC gigs 3 times but great labels can still release ****e tracks.

Random Soul are fellas releasing quality soulful stuff,much better than this fella
Anyway the concensus seems to be that those tracks are a bit bad(is that a better word)

Plumpynutt

i get deep yo'

johnny are you a hairdresser by any chance

You really do have an ear for **** tunes jonny.

Why would a Swiss dj use a French name?

No... no that doesn't make sense at all..

Some parts of Switzerland speak french

Well thats something I didn't know, just over 20% even.

God I love jonnny's threads. Always turn into a good aul b1tchfest.

I don't think it's even your choice of songs (suspect though they are) that gets peoples backs up jonnny. I think it's your tone. You always try to get the first dig in by saying things like "people that know their music will like this" or "people that aren't bandwagon jumpers will appreciate this"
It's a sure fire way to create the negative comments.

brianc27

It's gas everyone knows jonny has the ****test taste in music known to man, except for jonny himself, I'm just glad I'm not like that and I like deadly music. Sorry johnny I'm just posting what everyone is thinking.

To summarise, YOU LIKE SH!T MUSIC.

jtsuited

What I find baffling is that those tunes are commercialised beyond belief. Not bad tracks, and not my cup of tea, but they really are house music specifically aimed at people who don't listen to house music.

Definitely not the worst stuff Jonny's posted but very cheesy and commercial.

Makes perfect sense if you are from the french-speaking part of switzerland

most probably not Jeff but i really don't care to be honest,personally speaking i like them and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

as i said opinions are like ars*holes, everyone has one:)

yeah I hear ya but posting about something you like that you know other people probably won't is a bit mental though right? I mean you said you knew this would turn into a 'bitchfest'.

Yes opinions are like arseholes and everyone has one etc.,
however,
much of the purpose of internet forums is a place to discuss things and present opinions with people of similar interests. And of course debate conflicting opinions etc within the parameters of logical discussion (we might be loathe to admit it, but everyone loves a good argument).

Saying something and refusing to debate it because 'everyone has opinions' and continuing to ignore any other people's contributions as 'just other people's opinions' is both childish and arrogant.

Childish because basically you're saying you can say whatever you want without backing it up because it's 'your opinion and you are entitled to it' (which btw isn't true),
and arrogant because you are thinking what you say is above criticism and not up for debate.

I think it's fair to assume that that is what really winds up most of the people around here about your posts Jonny. It's not that you're into different music or whatever, it's the fact that you attempt to speak from a place of authority without having the decency to debate maturely when challenged.

errrrrrr OK thanks for your input there Jeff

I forgot to add, when I'm looking for music I generally skip straight past anything by anyone called DJ [insert name here]. I find it's usually, erm, poor.

Not exactly on-topic but not as far off as this thread seems to have veered.

jtsuited

apart from DJ Sprinkles of course. He's great.

I would have to say they are not my cup of tea for listening but are far far far better than any of that dubstep nonsense & such.

The more industrial / dark dubstep is right up my alley, stuff like Milanese or Vex'd.

But the stuff released by the likes of Caspa has a very short sell by date. I was into it for a while but couldnt bare to listen to it now.

Ah come on, don't tell me you're serious? It's fair to say that there are definitely hundreds of shite DJ _____s out there, but what about like DJ Shadow, DJ Koze, DJ Deeon ( ) etc?

Also yeah, 'brostep' (basically a name for ****e dubstep, Caspa/Rusko and all their derivitives) is shite, but some of what comes under the blanket name of dubstep is definitely some of the best dance music to come out in recent years, especially what it's evolved into.

Yeah brostep is rubbish. I only listen to slostep. Its dubstep made by people with intellectual disabilities. Its music to listen to when you want to pity the fool.
