That mupper DJ Pressure, the balding 40 something who for some bizzare reason thinks he is some kind of demi God (well he is to certain skanbags) urggghh, im not one for slagging anyone especially anyone involved in the Rave scene but this DJ Pressure deserves dogs abuse, he's been on record as saying he's the best DJ in Ireland by a long shot,yeah right, what a muppet he is:rolleyes:
Well ya know what they say about meeting your heroes
Not interested in whether a dj is sound or not , as long as they play good music is all i care about
Remember one night in the Ormond, Pressure and Mark Kavanagh were playing and i think it was the owner of the Ormond who was praising the fcuk out of Kavanagh saying he was the best dj in Ireland and this that and the other . Pressure was fuming and went over and had a word in his ear to say he was the best Was a mixed response from the crowd..
The two of them were playing Paddys night in the Ormond belting out all the tunes ya knew and then Carl Cox blew the two of them out of the place with music i never heard before,the way the set flowed it put the two of them to shame 0 -

Nobody likes a big head so i see were your comin from jonny,a good should dj should let his music do the talkin.In fairness he was savage in the Asylum when he was just dj Rob but started to get cheesey when he decided to call himself pressure,even the name sounds chessey.
sure nobody else could handle the pressure when he got on the decks, thats why he called himself DJ Pressure:D 0 -

Was so good he even got his name in a tune
Well it sounded like 'go pressure go go ' then and still does now 0 -
Pressure only played the Olympic when it reopened years later!
If thats the case it wasnt him who fired out that Doop Doop sh.it in the OLYMPIC cause i know it was definetly in its first life it was played in there:mad:That mupper DJ Pressure, the balding 40 something who for some bizzare reason thinks he is some kind of demi God (well he is to certain skanbags) urggghh, im not one for slagging anyone especially anyone involved in the Rave scene but this DJ Pressure deserves dogs abuse, he's been on record as saying he's the best DJ in Ireland by a long shot,yeah right, what a muppet he is
Yer having a good go at it though jonny:DI remember talking to him once at one of those Oldskool Nights in El Mondo, used to be called Night Owls next to the Four Provences in Ranelagh years ago. To be honest he seemed sound enough when approached. His track selection in the Asylum was animal, mixing not bad either.
You obviously have some axe to grind with him
Was fairly obliging at a gig in the belvedere 2005 i would have to say also.....did bang on one or tunes by request no bother & i would have to agree the tracks he banged out in the ASYLUM were class:)Not interested in whether a dj is sound or not , as long as they play good music is all i care about
Spot on chief......have said it in the past i couldnt give a flying fu.ck really about whos playing & whether or not they are sound as long as the tunes are bangin & even the mixing doesnt make that much of a difference to me as long as it isnt murder going from one track to another:mad:Remember one night in the Ormond, Pressure and Mark Kavanagh were playing..........

Had no idea Pressure & Mark Kavanagh played at this either just remember it was packed, Roasting & the E's were fuc.kin great & plentiful:p

I always thought it was a great name for an ASYLUM DJ & it really suited the buzz generated in the ASYLUM when tune after tune was being banged out with no let up right to the end it was like as one MC says on one of the Ed case tapes you could 'feel the pressure in the place'.....the vibe at 7am on the main dancefloor in there was just as strong as 1am that night thats probably where the name came from.....the feeling generated by the Rave itself:cool:.....well i think so anyway;)sure nobody else could handle the pressure when he got on the decks, thats why he called himself DJ Pressure
I could:D:D:DWas so good he even got his name in a tune
Well it sounded like 'go pressure go go ' then and still does now
Cant see the track but im presuming its that track off gradiation.....thats exactly what i thought it said for years.....and as far as im concerned thats what it does say:p:D
Final word:
Who really gives a sh.it about whos playing or the reputation they have......all this celebrity nonsense is where the beginning of the commercialisation of the Rave began which in turn has led to the showcase money generating bullsh!t like tiesto etc. put on......i dont go to a Rave to see or hear any particular DJ but to absorb the feeling of the tunes pumping out of the Big ass speakers......when a gig is on somewhere & you know the likes of Pressure, Mick walsh, Warren K, Ed case, Thyme are playing you know the tunes are going to be cracking & if there not then it was a waste of time.......the Rave is about the Tunes, the people buzzing together off them & the setup of the place to help the whole feeling generated & inevitably the narcotics......in my opinion the DJ has the privilege of either making it a class buzz for everyone or fuc.king it all up & that it is all about that buzz happening on the dancefloor that makes a Rave.......would finally have to say Pressure made many a night in the ASYLUM a brilliant experience & the way the DJ was tucked away in a box at the front of the Rave & not up on a fuc.king pedestal with his name in lights thinking hes a superstar made the Rave/tunes/people the focus......you may disagree with me but as i read on the end of a Post somewhere.......
" If both of us agree one of us is unessessary "
Thats my two cents;)0 -

I remember when you would hear about these 'superstar' dj's playing the point years ago, me and the mates would Always say scratch that, a guarenteed great night in the Olympic or the Asylum was always a sure bet rather than risk it at some anti-climax night.
My point is I always prefered good auld home grown dj's who knew their crowd and the crowds tunage!0 -

yeh senan m/8 top dj warren a top bloke dead sound 2 loved him in the asylum his hard trance sets wud have the place rocking his sets are still class now when u listen 2 the old sets still does a gud set now when he plays
still by far my favourite mix ever is the one from Warren K from about 94, still trying to id tracks from it, never going to get them all...
The one that starts with Club Fontaine and ends with the Flotation mix of Ego Acid. Quality mixing, tunes, progression from start to finish... on a par with any top international dj and a fckin gem in my memory of that time.0 -
