this DT rant is on 2 other forums, and on those forums they both say he's overreacting, he's a crybaby etc, but they also say he's still and always has been a great dj. but leave it to tranceforums for me to come here and see the same topic with the same reactions but with the difference is people saying he sucks as a dj. that's just pathetic and immature when it comes from people that post boring dj sets so yea i am going to call you out on it. |
Theres clearly two camps in this thread.
1. People who don't really like DT much voicing their disgust at his latest ridiculous long-winded and pointless rant.
2. People who love DT no matter what comes out of his mouth and will badmouth any person who disagrees and call their DJ skills (if any) into question.
Which one do you belong to?
As I said in the post just above yours, he is a good DJ and has played legendary nights, surprise, some people aren't much into his sets, is that a crime? Is everyone on every forum supposed to bow before Tenaglia no matter how much adolescent banter he spews and how much he cries over someone recording a tiny part of one of his sets in low quality? I've paid money to see DT, I'm sure I have a right to say whether I liked him or not.
I also agree with starboy on his point:

It is easy, but to be consistent and tight requires alot of effort, and sometimes even the big guys can slack off in this department. As I've said before on this forum, I dont mind beats slipping, or -ups here and there, we're all humans juggling with CD decks or big black records, I just want to know there is EFFORT being put into the mixing and beatmatching, as much effort as I would put in if I were behind the decks.
As for the lame cheap shots on different TA DJs, thats pretty sad. Alot of these folks put alot, alot of effort into their mixes, into scouring the internet and other sources to find fresh, interesting music (as opposed to sitting on 20 promo lists till the next radioshow deadline), and they have recieved alot of support from people here on TA, rightly so. |

i didnt hear any trainwrecks. a trainwreck used to be when beats completely clashed and sounds like crap. but to overly anal robotic beatmatching machines known as wannabe djs, a trainwreck means when the beats are slightly off for a moment and isn't perfect. normal clubgoers (human beings) dancing their ass off don't completely stop and walk off when they happen to hear beats not aligned scientifically perfect. other dj's and trainspotters and various other douches from the internet in the crowd will ignore the fact people are having a good time and instead harp on a non perfect beatmatched transition, shake their heads and be snobs. normal club goers don't do that, they're just having a good time. an amateur dj not respecting a pro dj because of not perfect beatmatching because they are holding them to a higher minimum standard of technical skills is silly when they cant entertain a crowd nearly as well. too much focus on something that doesn't need nearly as much attention as it does. ive said this before many times, peeps need to take off their judgement hats and put on their party hats. the best state of mind for appreciating what is good music is when you are the least judgemental.
DT has always received tons of respect for his ability to work a floor. now suddenly because of his gay ass crappy personality in this letter, the focus shifts to anything that can be pointed out as bad in his set. amazing. wait, no is not, this is tranceaddict. |
What exactly is your definition of a "wannabe DJ"? People who care about their craft and are bent on perfection? Does that mean anyone who tries at their job is a "wannabe (insert job here)"?
Also how are we all amateurs if we are getting paid to do it? There are obviously people out there who think we're doing something right. |
