Because a CD player on random could do their job.

Because its not Aphex Twin or Squarepusher?? A lot of DJs use similar auto tune samples of Xfactor type female vocalists, basically commercial cheese like the Swedish House Mafia or Deadmau5. You need to get yourself to Life festival next year OP, its dance music with a difference, none of the generic nightclub shoight that you hear in the towns and cities.

Bipolar Joe

Because the DJs in the places you go to all work off the same top forty crap.

dj jarvis

EVERY dj sounds the same ???

so where have you heard me play ?

change the title to " why do SOME dj's sound similar " and i might engage
other wise this thread is pissing into the wind

Que the usual " they only press play " quotes from people, who just dont have a clue

ill stick you up in front of 600 people and see how well you do " pressing play "
if you want to hear a dj who is " different " then go to a club that does not play chart **** list music - jeeeezzzzzz

Just to correct this poor attempt at some thanks...

I've seen some people try to DJ, forgetting the inability to mix for a second, you'd be surprised at how many of them are unable to chose the right songs for the right part of the night. A good DJ will bring the whole night to a rousing crescendo and the atmosphere in the pub/club will be electric. A poor DJ, or an amateur, won't be able to maintain a tempo so people trying to dance will find that they're up one minute and down the next. It's not Rocket science, but it's certainly not as easy as some people make out. You'll need to have the skills of Nostradamus to pull off a great night with a playlist, and an ipod on random will guarantee that everyone fcuks off fairly quickly.

depends on where you are. the variety of styles and skill here in Amsterdam's pretty broad. The ADE last week was phenomenal.

"Oh they don't have our song on Felix, let's get out of this establishment.."

Yeah right. I don't even notice the music when I'm in a nightclub. It all sounds the same - loud and generally poor.

I should of rephrased the question. How come when Djs are talking they all use a DJ voice as i like to call it

You know, I probably would've thought that it was just a very simple job of pressing a button until I just read this. So thanks for that - I never thought before about the rhyme and reasoning behind it all. You have totally change my opinion there.

It must be a soul destroying job at times having to sound enthusiastic and talk absolute ****. When you listen to the likes of Tony Fenton, you just know he doesn't talk like that all day.
Imagine he goes into subway, I bet we'd hear a different person.

Yes the machinery drives itself, I just stand there looking.

Likewise with decks man, the songs just select themselves! We have so much in common. Let's do lunch.

You've obviously never heard of DJ Mac OP.


"Don't drink and drive you fúckers, shoot some heroin and fly home instead".


To be heard in the finest bars/clubs and at all society weddings and funerals in the East Galway area.

OP if you only ever go to Coppers, D2, and other such standard issue meat-market dish-go's, the DJ's play the same utter commercial rubbish that gets the drunken teens dancing and drinking more. Get yourself one day to a real club like Twisted Pepper, Bernard Shaw, The Kitchen etc and hear some real DJ's who actually DJ - not these Top 40 Jockeys who play standard hundred tunes that the X-Factor brigade like to hear every single night they go out.

dj jarvis

i think some ill informed people are confusing radio station jocks who speak and play crap , with a decent club dj who has crafted his style and music over years.

a good club dj NEVER EVER speaks - and does not stand "looking" at his decks
if you don't understand this then you just don't know what you are talking about

that's like saying a bus driver just sits and does nothing else , to the un educated it might look that way- but its just not true

do not mix up tony fenton with carl cox , to do so shows your lack of knowledge on the subject, and should just keep quiet.

bodhrandude

Anywhere where DJ Kormac is playing is usually a nice eclectic night of sounds hip hop mixed with barber shop quartet, ska and techno, certainly not yer run of the mill night club stuff anyway.

You sir know your establishments! Btw if you like clubs like twisted pepper i'd highly recommend Housewerk in the Grand social!

Never seen his thread before...

Your jobs are all menial and shi/t, at least Djs get to listen to music as their job, and do something they enjoy. It's easy to be a dj but its incredibly hard to be a good dj. Tune hunting is half of the skill, and djs who play top 40s songs aren't bad djs, they're playing the right kind of music for the people who are in the mainstream establishments they're playing in

You don't even know what the thread is about.

It's about the sound of a DJ's voice.
