Dj Mag Who Do They Think They Are?????

[dirty_bass]

you got it wrong
one is almost pure business (money comes first, music second) and the other is more about music and idea and art.
christina is cheesy as fcuk. she can be as hard working as much as she wants, but all her songs are about love, sex and parties. the only one thats not about one of those three is "beutiful" which is the queen of cheese.

all this blah blah by me is to make this point: you guys cant make a difference between someone who is making a funky song because he knows it will sell, and someone who is making a funky song because thats how hes feeling, because hes inspired to do so at the moment, because hes got an idea and funky is the way to express it.
when u hear funky you will go "COMMERCIAL CRAP OMFG" (unless its techno, ofcourse, because its got the BOOM BOOM so it makes it ok)

so, what we have here is a bunch of totally biased people talking about music. u cant even see the difference between cheese and honest music, which is normal for someone whos not into music but i really didnt expect it from u guys.

ill give you an example of how this looks like: you all like detroit techno, right? i mean, atleast you force yourself to like it because it is known to be good (after seein the comments on this topic im not sure which one of these two it is).
SO, u got a bunch of guys who have been doing it right for over 20 years now, and 90% of that material is great, has got soul, is dancable etc etc - BUT NO MARKETING! most of the people dont know about jeff mills, dj bone, carl craig, juan atkins etc etc. so what u got is some businessmen who see the potential. they imitate those tracks, market it end sell it in millions. those tracks dont have any soul, the quantised kick/snare/hat combo is all the rythm it gets but its there and people know about it.
so, i played dj q - we are one (carl craig remix) to my gf the other day and she said "this sounds very commercial to me".

omid is a great artist. i actually got into EDM cause of global underground 20 (darren emerson @ singapore) which was a shitload of tech house. one of the tracks is some 16b remix which grew to be my fav track on the release. the whole mix instantly and permanently blew me away and i still enjoy it quite a lot. the only reason im not playing this kind of music now is cause somebody told me that gu20 is prog house so ive been looking in all the wrong places, and i somehow ended up in techno.

I agree with all that.

Music is music and there is more to it than techno.
And I think Omid actually does make some pretty creative and passionate house and tech house. It`s got soul without being too obvious and cheesy.
Good stuff if you like that sort of thing.
However, the DJ Mag feature is probably more to do with him being in the Soho set and involved with the Mr C clique.
I believe DJ mag has it`s offices in soho, I could be wrong.
