Grill Master!
The holy bible is a noble and probably greatest book ever written or it was.. until came all the wise asses ( sorry if anyone here is a true believer, no offense it's my opinion ) and since then if u only listen to 10th of their 'parshanut' to this wonderfull book u will never want to see it again.
The writer is the writer without him there is nothing to listen to
The parshan, well - if u ask me he has no importance no need for parshanut for trance music we have enough for jewish religion
The listener ( the crowd ) - he's the most important
DJ's job is to create a path from different pieces of music which he fits for his needs as he sees it right. Some trax should b played partly and some fully but I strongly oppose to these that say lets mutilate all of them and make a nice salad so nobody would recognize nothing and so call it a REMIX
If anyone wants to make a remix he can go to a studio and make one no problem |

and Boris,
I understand u very very well. I know exactly what u mean and I think that in the case of psychedelic trance u r in most of the cases copmletely loose the plot.
I know some ppl that do what u do and I guess that DJ Jude was or is one of the ppl that I mean and one that u studied a bit from. Well Jude, if I am not mistaken ( and I am not ) did play full on trance whole tracks, he also dj'd from DAT when he had to and well he also can do three turntables at once BUT with very certain kind of tracks and in his stories the tracks are recognizable - he gives the story of the track. That is what I call a DJ
In my opinion he was and probably still is the best spinning trance DJ in Israel ( if he still does it ) so anyone that wants to know this secret knows now where to find it.. ;-) |

beatmatching psytrance? if only i were so lucky. you go to a party here and the djs play the most minimal stuff and do not mix.
the best formula for djing goa is really simple: fluidly blend most tracks together, stopping for those few songs that have remarkable outros or intros... so - a bit of both. and when it comes to format, i think it is best to stick mostly with vinyl since it is more hands-on, and also use a set of cd decks for rarer pieces or the occaisional noteworthy unreleased that you or a friend may have made.
there can't be extremes with this business... its good to change the style of music around a little, the format, and the mixing style. variety is the spice of life. |

Well, I'll give you a certain point about this. You hear a new, unreleased, professional sounding track, but it has something missing. You notice that it's lacking exactly one line in a certain place for 4 minutes of it going to your brain.
You put your finger on what it's missing.
And you know exactly what other track has it (let's say it's the exact same bpm and scale as Hallucinogen - Beautiful People OTTS Remix), where you can mix in a 45 second part from a different track, and it sounds just percfect - both of them were meant for eachother (this actually happened to me when I was visiting Mr. Peculiar - a Melbourne based DJ).
WHY NOT?
There are some times when a track can be complemented by others. It may not be exactly what the artist had in mind, but it can be so, SO fucking right.
That's what I think a DJ should do - make the best of what he has - and that's what makes the difference between a performance (basically no flexibility) and a DJ set.
The DJ not only picks the tracks, he works them in a way he thinks is right. It may mean just cutting off pieces of the track, adding a part of a different track in a break, or just beatmixing another track when it's asked for.
A DJ plays music, but what makes him different than a jukebox is what he does with it. You don't need to go to extremes, but most DJs are too afraid to make small modifications in tracks even when they are needed so badly.
Everyone has a point in this conversation, but it's not saying that everyone is wrong or right, it's a matter of taste. |

Finally it came to this level, though the discussion is endless, but yes! Auspex and Yuli, I enjoyed reading your posts A LOT.
And Borris - I find you stiff and a little hard or pushy maybe sometimes. :)
U know u can get this discussion to the point what techno dj's should do and what hip hop dj's should do...
Ahh never mind, it was such a nice thread to read :)
