Club music is not about the newest tracks. Frankly, only about 20% of the stuff coming out is playable and worth pressing. There is alot of cookie cutter stuff out there, and djs really have to force it to work. Just because its the only track playing, people suddenly are forced to dance to it, but why not make thm want to dance to it? Im not going to waste my ears playing crap, which is what most of the mixed cds are. Besides that, it isnt my style to play new tracks, i play with two other guys who do that, my job is to open the night by playing dancefloor friendly familiar tunes.
As for the promotions, i just dont have the energy, the night is free! I was going to stop posting my tracklists this week anyhow. I guess this is here so that people know that every week we play quality tunes of the trance genre, they can check out some of the stuff, etc. I get lots of id requests and its simpler to just say check my website. |

Because we love it ;)
True that for every one good track that's been released say every 2 months, there's literally, 200 garbage tracks to follow it....It is discouraging to any DJ to play what they really like...mind you there is a bunch of new stuff which I also like, but then the question is how much time are you willing to set for a large amount of digging....granted everyone has their own musical opinions and tastes, style, etc, but I do hear a lot more DJ's playing the classics. If it gets a place going, all the power to them. :)
On another note, Cyber is fun, good sound, intimate setting, would be good to see more people coming down for fun times |

all the power to sean and anyone else spinning at this night. in the past i've had my own show on weds and have been too lazy to trek out, now i've got 8 hours of school on weds, so again i'll probably end up being generally too lazy and tired to get out, nothing of course against sean and all those doing this.
as for outdated tracklists, sean has always had a history of playing everything and anything that's ever been pressed. why the hell should anyone buy a record, spin it to death for 3 weeks and never touch it again? that's what mainstream is all about, and its horrible. i stopped listening to vancouver radio 2 years ago because of this mentality. i love hearing classics from time to time, but again, you don't want to bring them back and hammer them every night as well.
you COULD go and buy every goddamn new track out there, but its so true and its been said by me and everyone else in this thread, there is so much absolute CRAP out there that gets pressed, because now with digital labels accepted, there's so much crap signed and released and thrown down our throats. the plus side is, at least we don't have 1 million djs all playing the same 13 tracks, so there's nothing wrong, because one man's crap may very well be another man's golden sunrise. (for example the electro band wagon that occured in 2006. for a few months before it caught on, there was a tonne of quality tracks, because you HAD to make it quality to get it signed because the genre generally unpopular, then once it caught on everywhere, labels scrambled to sign everything and anything to meet dj demand).
lastly, as sean stated, him and everyone else spinning at this night aren't out for fame and glory, money and bitches. its about spinning music they love, whether the club is empty or full (preferably full). its on a wednesday night as well, what do you expect? this is vancouver. you can barely fill a top 40 club on wed night, let alone an edm event on any night.
keep going sean and co. maybe one day you guys will let me open for ya ;) (joking, that'll never happen, i suck too much). |

Play more updated tracks and try harder promoting beyond this website and maybe you can get somewhere. As far as I can see right now, all this posting of your outdated tracklists are useless as it seems no one here even cares and it does next to nothing as far as promotions go. But if this is how you pass all your free time and keep your mojo going, all the power to you. lol |
what's with all the hostile negativity?
see, the way this night works is it's not really there to make money and to attract hordes of people. it wouldn't matter if the night was promoted because the people at places such as fnk and clubvibes probably wouldn't even go to something like this.
sean does this because for the love of music. he's never been the type of guy to play the latest mp3s that he has just downloaded off limewire, and frankly i dont think the other two guys are like that either. |
