DJ Promotion Photos

[The Overfiend]

If you never met him and know nothing about him at all, then how can you KNOW that he's an arsehole? Just because a few people on here said so? Chump.

Philippe is one of the nicest people I know......so what if he wants to have this as his press picture - that's his business. For you to call him an arsehole because you dont like it, is not only rude, but immature.

I'd like to see what you look like.....you probably dont even photograph half as well as he does.....

What gets me is the person who posted the pic was signed to his label.
That's gotta feel like a punch in the balls.

philippe is a spot on bloke there's no doubt about that. he knows how to use the promotion game and i'm sure that pic served it purpose somewhere. but come on the issue is not whether a thinks he is an ass or b thinks he's cool, it's surely steve's first post - the overuse of headphones.

personally i have never done this on press shoots, cause i too think it's a little cheesy. but i suppose if you have a flyer to design for a big club night, you're going to love having a pic of the main dj wearing his headphones looking cool. it's gonna sell the night.

i mean i see what steve's saying here, a little bit more experimental and clever is the way to go, but that's totally personal preference. interesting topic but let's steer clear of just having digs at certain shots eh?????

[BRADLEE]

well this isn't a promo shot, but tis a pic of me looking funny with my friend Adam (kid Crpytic)..... Wouldn't exactly send it out for a flyer.... But just thought you guys might get a laugh at the funny faces....

eh? ive not been signed to Preach's label mate, nor do i imagine will i be

lets not take this the wrong way now everyone, no need to call the guy an arsehole at all whoever it was who did that, i here nothing but the nicest words spoken of Phillipe and rightly so, his music may not be to everyones tastes but thats irrelevant when it comes to the person involved.

No one is above a bit of ribbing though, and that pic is genuinly hilariously over pretentious.

doesnt make him a bad person though at all though, who knows the pic maybe tongue in cheek, but still either way, its a classic

Ascend wasn`t preaches label. It belonged to Jean-Michel from Montreal. Who also owned Consigned, and a few other labels under the Ascend Music Group.
Great bloke.
Although my released was named Preach present Dirty Basss, to draw some attention to the release, and because philippe introduced me to Jean-Michel

(Jean my brother, where the **** are you?)

Preaches label is called Relics, I believe.
And I was never signed to it.

Also, I`ve got no beef with Phillipe, he`s a lovely bloke.
He just happens to have had some aweful promo shots taken.

Now can we please turn the sense of humour switch back on.

You have to laugh at this thread. It's without doubt a silly picture. We're allowed to laugh at it. We're allowed to joke about it.

I don't think anyone on this board is going to make serious judgments on whether someone is a 'nice', 'decent'....'fair average quality' etc etc person on the basis of a promotional picture.

I don't think I'm that shallow and i doubt the others are also.

I don't know how it works in other countries but on the big brown continent jokes like that are part of friendly banter and not taken seriously.

To prove this i'll put some pictures of myself here for all to have a laugh with until one of my mates jumps on to defend me and call the rest of you bastards for taking the piss with me. :)

[dirty_bass]

Your good man, I think people tend to take offence on other peoples behalf in here on occasion.
I think we are allowed to have fun in techno land, as far as I know.
Taking the piss out of each other is all part of the game, it keeps us sane.

If I took offence to what people said all the time, I`d be constantly laying people out for shouting "Oi you dirty bastard" at gigs.

Well it was Scot who posted the pic dude.
I`m assuming you are talking about me.
In which case
a) I was never signed to Phillipes label as far as I can remember
b) I didn`t post that pic
c) Are you telling me you don`t break your mates balls
d) Did you change the batteries in your sense of humour yet?
