Sure he doesn`t suck up to every person who books or deals with him, but in a way I find that more honest than just being a terminal brown noser.
Firstly i dont know the guy - im going by what has been said here, and if you know him DB then i take your word as straight.

Im not as bigger player as either you or mr PG. However i have been ****ed over for cash on many occasions. But i still manage to treat others in the scene with respect, no matter how big or small.

I have a "friend" who is a player and another who is also a player (no naming names) and their attitude to scenes smaller than they think they are worth is deplorable and mostly downright rude.

I don't know if what lawrie has done warrants the negative comments posted above, and i certainly dont think its my job to judge him, if ANY judgement is needed, but i'll say this...

To all the artists on here (including myself as a reminder)

I costs nothing to be polite, it costs nothing to be gracious and kind - a proffesional attitude should not be linked to the inability to connect with others who play within a scene - no matter how small they appear to be.

It makes me sick to my stomach when i meet people who are both rude and condescending to others (yes i mean ME if you are wondering) and i've met more than a few big name techno DJs who were like that - big and small.

The attitude some people give out (especially within a music scene - of whatever genre) STINKS.

It doesnt have to be that way - niel landstruum - top geezer, not rude or surley, oscar charlie - nice fella,

Im not gonna name the negatives - it wouldnt change anything, besides they are pepople i prefer to forget as despite their position of strength i'd rather do it myself than eat their shit because of their rep.

So my point

On a personal level - i meet you , you rude to me when their was no cause?... screw you! **** yourself!

I meet you - you friendly, helpful, communicative - i take an interest, i recommend, i assist and i buy you a beer.

Which one are you?
