I never said I would want to imitate anybody, what's done is done!
This has nothing to do with the fact that if i had the same records as
last night's DJ the crowd on the dancefloor would notice very little
difference, hence my argument that anybody can be a DJ.
************************************ ATTENTION********************
If you people on the IDM board would read my first post with an open
mind, you would all realize that it was directed at criticing the DENVER
area for not giving enough props to live artists who are willing to
perform. I never said DJs are worthless or anything like that. I simply
stated that the artists have a lot more to offer than DJs yet for some
reason the scene is dominated by the DJs who do little work when compared
to the hours the artists spend perfecting/ creating their sound.
For those in the Denver area, I will admit there are some cool DJs (ie
Dave Alex, Ben Pound, TRES MANOS), LA has some great DJs also (i only
remember one off the top of my head- R.A.W!) However, we IDM'ers should
be focusing on getting the artists we talk about DAILY, mind you, a
chance to show their stuff live. I am sure these guys don't want to be
sitting in their bedrooms the rest of thier lives. They want some
recognition too and the ravers out there need to see it!
I'm done, but thanks for the responses! I never wanted to turn the IDM
board into a DJ newsgroup, lets keep it real.
