lol, seems like i need to correct myself.
rumors arent true
they're taking 1200/1210 MK5 off market in NZ & that is all

[davethedrummer]

only the mk5's
the mk5v2's with the blue lights and the originals are still in production.
apparently

( sorry just read the other post about this , when will I ever learn eh ? )

i find it hard to take anything he says seriously,considering he once was an excellent techno dj and now plays borderline house. and shit house at that.

So basicly your saying you can't take him seriously because he don't play as much Techno as he used to?

if that is the case that is being a bit narrowed minded

would you take him more seriously if he was playing more Techno?

basically yes. how can you take somebody seriously when they are following the money, rather than the love of what they do?

im not gona get into the minimal debate for the millionth time, but people like voorn,carrola etc used to make and play great techno,now they make and play sub standard shite.why? money.imo of course. whcih is fair enough, exploiting a new market,all got to earn a living etc.however that does mean i like the direction they have gone.

i dont think its money. i think its natural that after xy years you are changing your approach towards music, your preferences etc, people change, and so is their music

and i wouldnt really call everything joris plays house music, there's plenty of techno in his sets, only slower

besides, so much music out there is so hard to categorise and if its good i dont really feel the need to do it anyway, i'll rather spend my time enjoying it... its really bad/sad to be limited to only electronic music, or even one subgenre... imo limited people shouldnt be dj-ing anyway

ps. interesting how people were hating on richie when he said his computer does beatmatching for him, but not a single word when joris mentioned it hehe

I saw Joris play in Newcastle last year & he played an amazing set he played Techno which deep & Detroit style & some good House music not cheesey House music so the stuff he was playing was certinly not sub standard shite!

You've got my vote! :)



I hear V-Tech are bringing out a laptop DJing system, now even the kids can get in on this wonderful world of "DJing".

I don't think its necessarily about money. Times change, and people move on.

So do digital DJs still want to have their own stuff released on vinyl? Seems to me that vinyl releases on quality labels (Token, Audio Assault, Naked Lunch, Warm Up, BOA of course) are still held in pretty high regard, an indication that the format is still holding its own.

[SlavikSvensk]

i haven't seen him in years but i heard a few recent sets that i thought were pretty good

[SlavikSvensk]

joris voorn has always played house records. he's one of those djs who doesn't really see the point in separating techno and house, provided they are good.

[basslinejunkie]

hmmmm.last set i heard was poop. i know hes always had a different style to most,used to love it.

[Koenig]

Saw him at Space 3 months ago with Del May and Carl Craig.
He was spectacularly shit (epic buildup/dreabkdown rubbish), even Carl Craig made a fool of him, and he cant mix for toffee.

Joris will be in Malta early next year playing Sky Club...will cast my votes then..

As for how a DJ makes people dance...Im sure there are many clubbers that dont analyse how a DJ produces/delivers a set..By a clubber I mean a punter that doesnt produce or DJ...obviously those that do are much more analytical of how/what/why

Personally I still prefer the touch of vinyl..the loudness, the quality. Feels less mechanical and much more natural. Personal tatse though and fair play to those that integrate numerous new, and old technologies to get poeple moving. Thus said IMO beatmatching provides a rush and energy into a set; the visual element of seeing the record I also find of benefit.

IMO Kids today cant afford vinyl..some kids here in malta arent even strong enough to cart round a big bag of rubber..they actually moan about it. The upcoming DJs here who perform 2-3 times a week cant access much vinyl either due to no shop..even if we did have a record shop they cant afford a new set each week..

These would be wise words if Joris could mix well.

However, he can't, so that's just a load of shat chat.
