Hey, hold on!!!! Muppet???!!!! Are we not entitled to an opinion on this board?!?!!?!?!!!!

**DJPAUZE** · 01-12-2002, 03:34 AM

i hear your point mark. Mills had a small influence on me as well. And yes i do respect him for what he has done for techno.

But i will stand to my guns and say. YOU SUCK AS A DJ MR. MILLS!!!!! MUAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHA

I think Mr Mills should be the first to apply for the DJ LICENSE

when it touches down in the states.

Peace

if it weren't for jeff, most of the younger generation would sound completely different.

--------------------------------------------------------

yup, that's so true. Mills gave me the key that unlocked my mind to hard, loopy techno - there's no doubt about that. he might not be the same now, but like our man Mig L says, you simply have to respect him.

**DJZeMig_L** · 01-12-2002, 02:36 PM

Hey P.

I Have no wish 4 any "wordfight", What I think u must realise is that Mills was already doing all the tricks and general deck wizardry long b4 any1 else! I might even add that some of the more enlightend Djs have learned a lot with this man, or with people that learned with this man.

I remember looking into djing in a totally different way after I saw him dj! I do agree with ya, Mills does miss a lot, some of the mixing is just a tad 2 ruff... But the fact is that most of us know about this tricks very early and toy around with' em, loads and loads, so it bcomes easy, almost like a 2nd nature, they r no longer extraordinary!!

Then again if u listen 2 a Dave Clarke set, u could almost say the same, but still they were there doin' it long b4 we could propertly beatmatched!!

4 that also I have a huge respect, that doesn't mean I'm deaff, I can still hear all the mistakes, but I pay my respects 2 a man u consistently changed the way we Dj and Produce!!

evidently personal opines are not tolerated here mark. ah well.

our scene in us is tiny? sims + suregon each played here (nyc) 3x this past year at different parties.

you can see just how tiny our scene was in 2002 : www.tronictreatment.com

**Esox Lucius** · 03-12-2002, 04:43 AM

sorry i apoligise for calling you a muppet krakpot... fair enough that is your opinion, but ben sims is a quality producer & probablythe best techno dj, my opinion of course.

**Esox Lucius** · 03-12-2002, 04:47 AM

and sims certainly is not over rated, had people on another board try and tell me ade fenton is rubbish & doesn`t deserve his atomic jam residency!! utter bollocks, ade is one of techno future stars, he is getting bookings all over the world now & is runnig a very sucessfull label (advanced)

what are your views on ade, anyone?

**krakp0t** · 03-12-2002, 05:03 PM

he's no jeff mills

**Esox Lucius** · 03-12-2002, 05:17 PM

have you seen him dj, do you always compare dj`s to mills?, loads of dj`s have different styles & it is impossible to compare them.

**krakp0t** · 03-12-2002, 05:33 PM

was joking actually. hope some of you managed to catch mr. jeff play @ bugged out or atomic jam recently and he played an exceptional set. speaking of which, justin robertson was here last week with hatwin + väth. it went off! i have new rizpek robertson. lots of fun.

btw, dave the drummer is the one i compare everyone else to

**Esox Lucius** · 03-12-2002, 08:29 PM

Justin is an incredible dj, glad you enjoyed him, get to see him quite regulary here @ bugged out

I'm just hyper confused over why Ade did that mix for Fergie.... I dunno there's alot of questions I'd like to ask him next time we speak...

**Esox Lucius** · 04-12-2002, 12:23 AM

in a way me too, but you got to think would you turn down a chance to play on radio1 mark?... in theory it is nice to say no, but when you got offered the chance to play your music on the uk`s biggest station would you turn it down??

04-12-2002, 02:33 AM

well said tf...

i myself am in a very similar dilemma at the mo with a big UK superclub. and even then my immediate reaction to someone like Ade playing on R1 is 'why?'. yes, course you would do it. even though you know Fergie is representing techno in the wrong way, you'd take it cause you'd think 'well, i'm different -i'll represent it in the right way'. when all you're really doing is opening up your arse to be raped by commercialism. but yet, you're convinced you can steer things the right way - but can you? that's the question. and none of us will know the answer to that until we're in the same position.

**Esox Lucius** · 04-12-2002, 03:51 AM

yeah I agree with you, is the club slinky?... billy nasty played there a few months ago, haven`t heard of anyone slating him for it though....from what i have heard they all enjoyed his set.... i could see you going down well there as your sets have lots of energy, like billy`s.

I understand how you feel about it though, it`s a tough one to decide.

**gunjack** · 04-12-2002, 08:40 PM

slinky tokyo sux.

**DJZeMig_L** · 05-12-2002, 07:43 AM

I 4 1 think its really cool 2 remix any pop star AS LONG AS U CAN DO WHAT THE FE*K U WANT WITH THE REMIX!!

1 - this can b like total revenge from pop

2 - showing different thinks 2 an otherwise non exposed audience

3 - One day U'll laught thinking what a stupid think 2 do, asking u 2 remix and paying big bigs 2 totally fuc* up some cheesy track ...

:P

My 2 cents!!

**eyes without a face** · 06-12-2002, 01:04 AM

i think Ade went on Radio 1 for the rite reasons. he's a rising star in the techno scene and simply wants to further his career... and how proud would u b to b able to say that youve mixed live on radio 1? he admitted to me that Fergie doesnt know @#%$ about techno, but Ade also said that he's actually a nice bloke and fair play if he is getting people like Ade, Ben and Jamie, Sims etc on the show, cos it means that we get to hear them!

i spoke to Ade about the slagging he got on the tribal board, he was laughing his head off and just told me to tell the perpetrators that they were quite simply c.u.n.t.s

hahahaha
