ben sims played the best set ive seen in years last night!

phenomenal,all action performance! :clap:

I think Sims is probably the best Dj around at the moment, he played here in Dublin a couple of weeks ago in a 200 - 250 capacity venue and he wrecked the place! It's one of the best sets I've seen this year along with Jaime Bissmire, Oliver Ho, DJ Bone and Chris Liebing.

This is a great topic because it show's the division in thinking between people. In the "Good Old Days" people could dance and if you just strung records together in Detroit you would clear the floor.

The crowd was just more demanding back then, and still culturally diverse.

If you played a dud record you could lose a crowd so you had to constantly change records to keep things moving. That is how the quick mixing style evolved.... just more musically sophisticated crowds back then i guess. Better dancers for sure.

Now it seems to be a bit more snobbish because a few guys have Reaktor, Traktor, Reason, Live, etc. so they think they know what it's all about but it's actually pathetic compared to the late 80's early 90's. Why is it we never hear people talking about enjoying themselves anymore?

We seem to get all the know it all's who never had to play themselves or think stringing 40 similar records together is a great set. Those records are made that way for a reason.

Anyway just thought I'd try to explain and give you something to think about....

I dont think thats 100% true, I love going out and hearing a good DJ play and hearing great tracks, I often find my self giving it socks on the dancefloor all night and shouting like an idiot :lol: , I doubt I'm the only one?

[Frank Dogshit]
