Whats up folks,
After a long weekend im finally pulling my head out of my arse and am nearly back over the hill. This weekend was emotional for me i have to say........
After a big build up to my Mindstorm gig in Perth Australia, i was sorley let down by the ethics held by the djs there......I have always known Irish djs to be territorial of their residencies in clubs. This i can understand, as none of us want to loose or pole position to any1 else, but even us Irish stop at a point.
On arriving in the club which was well decked out, i was thinking, this will be a good1 kevy........How wrong i was........The tunes the other djs were playing were so old there were cobwebs on them, e.g cortina - Music is moving which is ok if dropped in the middle of a modern set, but not if ur playing it bk2bk with all the old Nucleus records.............jesus.........
When i finally got up there and started hoping out my hardstyle, My so called competition came in to the dj booth, with 2 of the other djs who had played. They began to crowd me, and start fucking around with the effects on the pioneer......while i was playing.....deliberately getting in my way, trying to put me off......Then the dj who was playing after me "check this out" he lifted the arm off the record while i was still on, and my tune was blasting out over the P.A system.........the club went silent and everybody was left on the dancefloor in mid dance with stupid looks on there faces.....needless to say there was booing and dirty looks.
He then shouts "u want some more" and puts the needle back down in a totally differnt part of the record.............I have never been so stunned in my life and was speechless..........I said "what the fuck are u doing man, im playing a set" he looked at me and said "im on now". My 6ft 6 Italian friend Tony had to be held at bay and wanted to rip his ears off......
With that i got my records and left mid set. In all my days of djing, i have never seen this happen even at the worst house party in Ireland, never mind a club where punters had paid 25 dollars to here music.........
When he did go on, his tunes were also dirt and months old, and the crowd id spent my set pleasing, left and so did i. Apparently the brief stopage in the music upset most of the crowd and they left for another club, pissed off by the ametuer bullshit they had just witnessed.
These lads i now know, are scared shitless of us European djs and will do anything to prevent us showing them up........
No Dj ethics, no honour, no balls, and behind the times with their music, is my opinion.
For those of u intending to ever go there and crack the scene, expect stiff resistence from djs who have nothing, and never will, because they dont have the balls to go 1 on 1 with European djs on the decks.
Were years ahead, lets stay there..........Heres some pics anyway
