Papa Smurf - WTF?
 
gleejone
Ok, I'm not going to bag the guy here but I have a few questions. I've been going out in Melbourne for the past 3/4 years and have only seen the guys name on posters and stuff for ZoS and similar places, until recently. However, in the past year I've seen him play sets immediately after PVD and Tiesto. Can someone explain to me:

1. Why is this so because his style just doesn't seem to fit the night?

2. Why is he suddenly getting these sort of set times?

3. Why does he take so long getting ready at the beginning of a set? I remember at PVD it seemed like he took 5 minutes to cue up his first record.

4. What is the deal with name Papa Smurf anyway?

That is all I have to say. If anybody can help me out it would be appreciated. I'm not having a go at the guy (even though I find his sets quite uninspiring) but just curious to know about this guy.

Bring on Armin (not supported by Papa Smurf)

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one to feel this way.

Is it something to do with money Paulie? It's money isn't it? If you don't reply then I'll assume it's money? Or having dodgy friends.

simple.... Papa Smurf = Melt entertainment, which to Mark James = people through the door... same reason Midro gets a gig through his association with Bass Station, & Scott Alert & Ajax gets gigs through the Hard Kandy association.. no mystery.

What Mangler said :|

He is a great promoter and well, the stadium @ together was full at the end...so I guess he is doing something right

I spose he takes a while to cue up his first track...A. To let the crowd cheer for the big international..and B.Build a bit of suspense..

He does know how to bring energy into a room
