these dj mix postings are the most irritating bit of self-serving ego-stroking bullshit on dirty. you're not the fucking don of all techno (dnb, dubstep/whatever) or else you wouldn't be posting mixes to a forum like this looking for feedback. you'd be flying around the world, playing gigs, getting paid tons and blowing it all on drugs and hookers. (Jas to thread?)

this point is not directed at Eikman or any one person in general, rather the whole concept and purpose of the Craft forum. accept the criticisms or just sit naked in your room and jack off listening to your own dj mixes. works for professor. ;)

hey, i said i understood your point. no hard feelings from my side.

i like constructive and critical feedback. i also explained why i chose to play the track the way i did. maybe next time i'll do it different. there are a dozen things i would do different if i am going to mix the same tracks again today.

Re: Eikman - 2007/03/08
 

well, even those DJs started small. and if internet didn't exist yet, they recorded their mixes to tape and spread them among friends, looking for exactly the same feedback people do now on the web (except this is actually easier and reaches a bigger audience - not always the best, i admit, because there is a lot of bullshit around, but you get the idea).

now if i were a dj, playing gigs, getting paid tons and blowing it all on drugs and hookers (and god knows i would do that), i probably would have no urge to post here. :)

and what's so bad about that?



edit: the mix was really good.

edit 2: bld can lick the nuts

Eikman, thank you. My comments are not directed towards you specifically. I really did like your mix and in fact, i've liked every mix i've heard from you. I love your track selection and the risks you take mixing in tracks i'd never have thought to use. Keep it up!

Re: Eikman - 2007/03/08
 

oh god. on the one hand you're saying "all the real DJs don't talk on the internet; instead, they're global pimps" and on the other hand "my feedback is self-evidently legitimate because i know a lot and just take my word for it". your post just sounded way too pedantic for my taste, that's all. i'm obv just speaking for myself and not Eike (and i haven't posted any mixes or asked for feedback here). if i posted a mix and asked for feedback i'd still reserve the right to disagree w/ the feedback, "don of dubstep/whatever" on the decks or not, which i'm obviously not. what's with you calling out people for acting like know-it-alls and then acting like you're the one who knows it all? if i knew you could mix and "understand your source material and the flow of the mix" or whatever, then maybe i could take a comment like "part of being a dj is ... there's more to djing than ..." more seriously.

no hard feelings here either anyway, i'm sure we all hate James Blunt

all those replies makes my highly average initial posting (and therefore the thread) seem to be IMPORTANT. keep it coming! :D
