Ghost writers

[TechMouse]

Hey then there is 'ghost djing' - apparently dave pierce (the fat trance guy) used to have someone back stage doing the mixing while he stood out the front soakin' up the love and doing the whole jesus on the cross bit while pretending to mix occasionally.. **** makes my stomach turn

don't know him but...hahaha what a bitch! i'm angry when i'm reading about people like this, wtf is this, yeah c'mon let's destroy techno lol

Well, I hardly think "the tw*t in the hat" constitues Techno, but I see your point.

mind boggling aint it.. i dont know if he still does it or not.. the guy who used to be his ghost dj that i met said he stopped around mid 90s - not sure if he got a new one or not, after allmost 20 years at it must have finally learned to mix you would think

I used to do this a lot a few years ago and have probably more than a dozen records that i wrote floating about with other peoples names on them. I have to say that all the people who ever came to do this were complete tools and didnt have a clue about what is needed to make a sweet track. Most of them were just cheesy knobs wanting to inflate thier egos a little. I am sure there are some examples where this is not true, but generally i have found that the kind of people who want to 'use an engineer' (in the dance music sense) are more often than not, complete **** retards..

Yeah, there are many people that think they just need a day or two in the studio (without ever producing before) and suddenly they'll have their first release ready. I think this probably goes on a lot.

So you use a ghost producer then ;)

If I did I'd want much better results ;)

Two good friends of mine fell out over this. One very talented D&B dj, the other a well established producer. They collaborated and the result was the biggest selling track the producer had ever written, released on Renegade Hardware and considered one of the best tracks of the year.

What was the tune?

now i havent got the skillz to put these ideas onto a track.

so i have 2 choices........1 get a ghost writer or this could be a little hard work and effort......LEARN HOW TO USE ABLETON OR WHATEVA HARWARE SOFTWARE i want and do it myself..

1 way stands out to be much more satisfying to myself.

I love making music. I love it for the love of making it.

Trouble is, it isn't all that good. Learning ableton or whateva is the tip of a very big iceberg. People dedicate their lives to mastering sound design and you need to recognise that you will never be even nearly as good as they are. By comparison your your music will always sound bad. Production is a fine art.

You can however hire these people to provide the technical nouse you lack. Or, if you are pushed for time, and skint - try and befriend them.

Would anyone like to see my puppies? I have sweeties too...

I hope they start pressing all of the Planet Mu stuff on vinyl instead of some CD only releases

He's pretty much at the top of my list of people to see, that EP on Mosquito too, was a killer.

wish folks would just fuk these cunts off and let talented folks do it.

too many times ive saw shite djs(biggish names) when id rather see some one decent to the job...known or unkown.

techno is a bit too like fashion sumtimes for me liking. Name over quality.

i wanted to ask: "exile?"

coz there's a q&a with him going on at dogsonacid.com atm...

[AcidTrash]

nothing wrong with it at all. some of the best music I have is "commissioned" music. Some producers left to their own devices would just keep churning out the same stuff for ages and need to be pushed out of that rut occaisionally. Fresh ideas with a proven production ethos makes for better music.
