hey corbz
i'm sure you'll get into something else when your a little older
i was pretty focused on punk and that was it when i was 17 but i grew up in a household of musicians so i always had other forms of music around me.

**DJ Corbzy** · 11-07-2003, 03:35 PM

yeah i think thats it, im too young to appreciate older more retro forms of music that most if you are into....

i'll learn one day... :D

**BritishMurderBoy** · 11-07-2003, 05:30 PM

is this a discussion about techno on radio 1 or barry white and racism?

scott and john are the brazillian soap stars they have a inept ability to start bitching at each other an turn the discussion into something it is not...

:lol:

anyway getting back on track...

the opinions i have on this issue have been pretty well douccumented:

i dislike the idea that someone who has had nothing to do with the creation, establishment or future of techno is able to blurt the word all over the airwaves like it is a new flavour of the month, it is not the way it should be done.. equally i dont like the tracks he play or the way he mixes it is not a reflection of the scene at all...

I am not against techno being publisised but only in the right manner, by someone who does justice to the tracks he plays and is picking out new records that aren't just a list of techno favourites that you hear on r1..

Potentially this could blow up in techno's face, new nites could spring up all over the country with crap dj's playing bland and generic music that is only due to the success of a national radio show..

fergie three hour techno set at the firefly in nottingham for example... was anyone unfortunate enough to have been there? i think he played along side umek...

now now Daniel, I never argue with anyone on here, and i rarely argue with scott on any board, eddie is the bitch luckily he does come on here.

**Esox Lucius** · 11-07-2003, 05:56 PM

doesn`t come on here I mean

**The Divide** · 11-07-2003, 07:43 PM

Put it this way. I dont think that Fergie will get the same respect as any other Techno D.J's because hes jumped from one bandwagon to another. Fuk fergie, I got more time for John Peel infact I got tonnes of respect for John Peel. It make me laugh after that banging Dave Clarke set he was buzzing his tits off and he was going "king! you can honestly say THIS GUY IS KING, all you guys down in main office wanna get out of that mainstream crap and GET ON DOWN HERE" then said "and for my next record I give you Tina Turner" hahaha. At least he isnt trying to blend Hard house into Techno. John Peel isnt playing the odd techno track now and again for the money, infact I am sure hes putting his neck on the line having Dave Clarkee/Jeff mills come in and DJ for his show as Radio 1 is mainly RnB, Soul, Garage and Dance. I dont feel that thats pushing techno towards a commercialized sound. However fergies show is a bit differant to this...

Saturday 12th July 17.00 - 21.00 (berlin love parade)
Judge Jules and Fergie with recorded sets from the Radio 1 Space float including Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Fergie and Paul Van Dyk

from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/dance/berlin2003.shtml

This guy is DJing along side the likes of Judge Jules and Paul Van Dyke, will this be a techno set???? If it is then it stinks.

Did some one say Tim westwood! hahahah yeah, its funny as **** his show, hes like a comedy version of Eminem. Thats who Ali G was suposed to have been inspired by. I heard he got shot in London for getting chants going for the East side whist in the West side of London. Mad head

**The Divide** · 11-07-2003, 08:03 PM

I realy hope it isnt. Sure the crowd will love it, its gonna sound raw compared to music by the likes of Pete Tong. So what happens next, Paul Van Dyke wanting a slice of the techno pie and mixing drumcode into some cheesy trance pop poop. Its just gonna to have a negative effect in the long run.

yes, i whole heartedly agree john peel is a fantastic.. this man is truley trying to forward peoples knowledge at about less well known genres of music..

he sounds like hapiness :D

**davethedrummer** · 12-07-2003, 11:16 AM

yeah i must admit i too am a really big fan of john peels,me and chris played a live session for him once which was a real thrill and he tracked down smitten records to the office and came round for a cup of tea. i can't really imagine fergie doing that can you?
anyway the whole thing has left me in even more awe of the man than before, i mean i used to do my homework to his show!
definately one of the bravest djs in the world and how does he get to know about all these different styles of music and he knows all the artists and labels etc etc etc....????
respect paid in the highest

**Paul Nisbet** · 12-07-2003, 12:21 PM

On the fergie note, i dont know bout him opening up people too techno.

As i seen him a couple of times in the last wee while, and even tho he is playin some good stuff imo, he is dropping dj elite and belfast child in with them, and all the peeps go crazy at they tunes not so much the techno.

And he mixes it in the most crap way ever, i thought it might put peeps off techno rather that get them into it tbh. He is still playin BXR tunes from 2 or 3 years ago, which are the big tunes of his set.

Mistress barbera on the other hand, is playin all the big clubs. PLayin good quality techno (imo) and she is destroyin the place. I seen her in scotland 2 months back, and she was awesome, totally outclassed all the radio1 djs and superstars, telling you. She made them look silly. The place was goin off.

**davethedrummer** · 12-07-2003, 12:40 PM

interestintg stuff ,good one to mistress barbara
i don't think it'd be that hard to outclass a radio 1 dj though.
hehe

**Paul Nisbet** · 12-07-2003, 12:53 PM

Agreed, lmfao. It was like listening to a recording of the horses galloping at the grand national when they were all on. lmfao.

Vote mistress.

Gotta give her credit, as im imagining she is gettin paid well from the likes of godskitchen. But she has stuck too her guns, and still playin top tunes (maybe a bit more big room, big tune orientated) which is goin down well.

As im imagining it can be easy too sell out when ur gettin the cash flung at u.

**The Divide** · 12-07-2003, 01:40 PM

Vote mistress.

Saw her DJ at love techno Last November, its was one of the last sets and very hard too. Loved it, didnt know she was dj'ing godskitchen. I wouldnt imagine her watering the set down with other styles.

**eyes without a face** · 12-07-2003, 02:03 PM

if it was a joke then john, why did u give eddies mobile number out on the white knights website or wotever it was? eddie had people ringing him up asking about racist marches that u had told them he was organising.

my facts are straight, people on here dont know you like we know you

**DJ Corbzy** · 12-07-2003, 02:06 PM

**eyes without a face** · 12-07-2003, 02:28 PM

back to the post tho, anyone remember when Dave Clarke took over for Mary Ann Hobbs on Radio 1 for a week? it was a while ago, but it was wikid

his Technology show on the internet was superb, i used to love listneing to his new show when online, hearing all the biggest tracks first, it was class.

**Esox Lucius** · 12-07-2003, 03:07 PM

yeah I remember that.

It was imense. very good dj.

**Jimfish** · 14-07-2003, 09:41 AM

yeah DAVE, i heartily agree about peely. He commands a huge amount of respect from people, and deservedly so.
I cant think of anybody who has that much appeal to every musical group, and (parhaps even more impressivly) musical group..
he is a very top man.
