Maetrik being a badass...

just curious,

did you record matt's set too?

I've really enjoyed the mixes of his that I have heard, so I would love to hear what he played that night.

I think tracks should blend in more into eachother (but I know, it's tough, I'm working on this right now, and I'm having a hard time.......)

I know what you mean, and i personally have heard it perform a lot better than that... but this time he was playing around with a few things that he hasnt done yet, and the set was far more improvisational than he originally intended.

also, its a Live PA... personally, i have always felt that rules are a little different for PAs than for Djing, and that the transitions between songs are not as important as the quality of the performance. ... and your right, its definitely not an easy task. however, while being there, the transitions were the last thing on my mind, coz his set was killer in a system! ...

btw... I know there is a recording of Matt's set, but i dont have it personally... i'll ask maetrik tho ... i think he has a copy...

what'd you think of the videos?

well, as long as live pas are happening in a club setting, I won't agree with what you say: people come to a club mostly to dance, so the flow is important........

well maybe there's your answer

...this wasnt really a club setting. It was a club, but more predominantly a bar that has the capablity to host Live Acts.

hehe...

i think we're on the same wavelength... personally i'd like transitions to be smoother too. but while i was there, the transtitions didnt matter as much, because the trax were badass! ...

and i'm sure many people that dont know sh!t about either djing or live pa's dont really care as much either. I've seen some people play horrible mixes... but the tracks he played were getting the crowd off! ... they didnt give a sh!t about transitions ... I think as a DJ/Producer we ofcourse have higher standards in that matter because it is what we do, whereas the majority of the audience has a different perspektive on it ... know what i mean?

I think when its a Live PA some slack has to be given. Its a little more complicated then spinning some records & CD's, the transitions are maybe not as obvious as one record coming into another.

well, yeah, I agree that we're on the same wavelenghts

......
but I don't agree with the previous post: it's not because it's more difficult that we should be more forgiving! the fact that it's difficult should be a filter...... as much as everybody will agree with me that there are too many DJs in this world by now, I think that there are too many people doing mediocre live pa (I'm not talking about maetrik's set now, which, I wanna say it again, I liked a lot; I'm just being picky now), which are sometimes boring to hear........
