Not another Nuxx thread, surely?

and i see him in sainsburys quite a bit

Since you brought him up, i recall Fatboy Norm saying in an interview that half the time, he does nothing to the songs, hardly even mixing them into one another or tweaking anything, and the crowd just goes nuts when certain songs drop, so he does his wave. At least he recognizes that it's the music that moves people, and he has a little humor for the people who don't realize he's just playing records. Technically, he is a crap DJ, but he does get the crowd moving.

Agreed that there are too many "superstar DJs" these days that just milk the crowd.
(anyone seen "It's All Gone Pete Tong"? Great movie!)
If they're an actual producer, that gives them some cred (unless of course the music is trash or they endlessly play their own tunes).

Paul Oakenfold needs to be strung up and humiliated for the crimes he's committed.

oh, i don't know, maybe by being featured in a huge blockbuster movie? that seems to do the trick. take Nuxx/Dark Train out of Trainspotting and we'd all have more room to dance at UW gigs. not sure you can say a percentage of the crowd are there cuz they heard DJ Trance Sucker play their tunes.

Aww... I got a neat version of Cowgirl in one of his sets.

i think norman and oakenfold just got too big for their own good. i feel like they got too much fame and fortune to be good for their music. they didn't get to mature musically, and instead became businessmen.

i still remember when fatboy was hip for doing acid house/break stuff, and oakenfold was doing goa sets. things have changed!
