Sujet: MY BIG MOUTH!

Ce topic est ancien et peut contenir des informations obselètes ou incorrectes.

Well, after many months of working on a particular play list for night club use an idea hit me and I sent it off to certain people in a certain organization I am part off.

here's and excerpt "
I can arrange any music depending on the audience from Polka themes to Classical, Ragtime, County and Western, Rock and Roll, Soul, R&B, Ball Room Dancing, Jazz etc. You name the genre and I can arrange the music.

AND GOT A RESPONSE!

And so it begins! I WILL GET A GIG! though they want quiet music LOL! And this is one of the toughest crowds I will ever play, staunch conservatives!

When I get more details and it's still a ways off I'll fill ya in!

But at last I get to play Music again!

It just goes to show you as I said many months ago NEVER GIVE UP! There is always a way. It may not be the way we want at first but one thing leads to many more and I GET TO PLAY MUSIC AGAIN!

Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks!

bow w o w W O W !!!!! O.O

And one day I WILL PLAY DANCE MUSIC AGAIN! somewhere some how someday!

AND A HUGE THANKS TO VDJ!

YOU made this possible and I will promote this product at any event I do!

What dance scene??...LOL this is the states where everthing is Urban HipHop and dance was forced to wayside!!
 

Have to agree with Madman ...Seana...not only that, its all about the $$$ and kills Art.When one does Music because your heart tells you to...its gonna be more meaningfull that when you do it for money and America has lost Respect for the Artist...but that started long ago...
 

I have to agree with both of you. I spin in a club and the only way I really get to spin dance/club/house mixes of ANYTHING (including but not limited to top 40 crap) is to start off with the mainstream top 40/hip-hop/rap/radio crap (not that I have anything against it, but if I wanted to hear the radio I would turn on the damn radio) and work into the mixes my last maybe 1-2 hrs after everyone is good and trashed. In the states (or at least down here in Georgia) if its not on the radio......its "Techno". What is fun to do though is to mess with them and start playing "Calabria" by Enur, and they think its "The Anthem" by Pitbull (which is the song he sampled for it) and they usually won't realize it til about 2 min into the song and are like "WTF?". Then I will mix in "The Anthem". Its funny to see the looks on their faces when they go from "turn this techno crap off" to "holy hell, its the same song", lol. The only way to really get into the "dance" scene around here is to get on at one of the "A-list" clubs in downtown ATL but that's all about who you know and who you blow.....and I ain't blowin' nobody. It sucks that the American club scene has been so SEVERELY influenced by the mainstream media/radio that I have almost gotten to the point some nights of just logging into the local radio stations web stream and just playing that and walking out of the booth. But, as some have said, "one thing leads to another", so I don't do it in hopes that someone, somewhere, somehow, someday will hear what I am doing as a DJ and not a "human iPod" and give me a shot at one of the big "A-Listers"..... Hopes and dreams I guess..... Hopes and dreams.

P.S. Yes I realize I am a bit of a pessimist.
 

Here in Phoenix/Scottsdale hip hop is still big but the commercial dance like taio cruz, selena gomez, lady gaga, etc. and uptempo electro hip hop is really big (Anything 128 bpm'ish by lil jon, pitbull, akon, jump smokers, LMFAO and Black Eyed Peas). Can't really do much real house/electro/trance but the watered down stuff and the dance remixes of the hip hop stuff does well......just waiting for the day good music makes it's comeback, it'll happen in a year or so.
 

Illegal Raves Seana,

Maybe, but if there is any they won't of be like our were!

Carl Cox, M Zone etc just 15 miles away from my house in a disused warehouse on a regular basis.

No wonder I ended up being a DJ..

Good Times
 

that sounds really badI had no idea it was like that there... what ever happened to the land ov Easy rider, The Cool Aid Acid Test and the Pranksters!!! its sounds really dead and lifeless... It has shocked me to hear about your scene. How did we let them do that to us!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! i actually feel like crying!!! Maybe its the hormones but i am so bloody sad and angry at what i've just read.
Something has to be done to get back a little ov whats been lost, Over there and back here too. The March ov the Mediocre has to be halted!!!

We must be able to do something to halt and reverse this god awful trend toward the bland and indifferent... Cant we all band together to buy vast tracts ov derilict/abandoned land in our respective cuntries (oops Freudian slip there!!) and declare ourselves a "free-state". We could slowly buy up adjoining plots til we have a voice AND a place to be!!!

Take Heart my poor dispossessed peoples... Rise up against Homogeny and the oppression ov the creative...
We, apparently have little left to loose.

My heart is with you.

What happened, Seana? Advertisers. That is what happened. Everything in the U.S. today has to have an angle for selling something. Not to mention in school, kids are taught "follow the leader". If a child is too rambunctious more times than not that child is told he has Attention Deficit Disorder, and medicated. Between bowing to the mighty dollar and not stepping out of line the shining city on the hill is less bright than it used to be......
 

hey Teary......

yer gettin' awful philosophical in yer old age.........

btw i spoke to the family ...... they say yer doing well, yer doing well Teary........

i agree with what you said

fortunately for me , my meds never did quite work ......

nowadays schools actually celebrate achieving?? a thing called acceptable yearly progress........

speaking of homogeneity ......you wimps, when are the rappers gonna stop sampling old songs from the 60s and 70s????????????????

also record producers, puhlease ....... it's time to stop sampling the Art of Noise ....... i even like them , but really give it a rest , try something original.........

 

Ahhh man. My goodness, The kids with ADHD are the ones who turn into the Boundry pushers ov tomorrow... they should be congradulated and actively HELPED to rock the boat and not have this pioneer spirit medicated out ov them!!! I was one ov these kids but happily could rock the boat without the "stick" ov medication waving over my head... Im so glad that they couldn't change the way i was, it has made me the boundrey pusher ov today...

Big up ya onions...

Yep and yes to all that you asked. But I wanted to gain some experience first. I've been out of the scene for quite sometime and work two full time jobs.

In the meanwhile, I'm working on getting equipment and music.

And I'm I am a lot older than your average DJ and may not be suitable in some people eyes to do these gigs.

I am planning on a very early retirement and when I retire then I'll have more time to look into what you suggested! It helps a lot!

THANKS!
 

 

dont see it as old, see it as vastly more experienced!!!

BTW, i'm not so teary today... must have been PMT!!!!
