apologies for the misquote. I was actually doubting when I typed it if you were talking about DJ's or producers. I guess I guessed wrong.steevio wrote:dont misquote me bro though please, i never said that.Hades wrote: For example, steevio, I remember you saying a few days ago how you don't even finish listening to tracks from producers (for your festival's line-up) if the kicks aren't in tune with the rest of the track.
So you can say it's not a "rule", but in reality you kind of don't like people that make tracks that don't apply this "trick" or whatever you want to call it.
You understand what I'm saying, right ?
.
i said i wouldnt book a DJ who mixed tunes in a dischordant way with tunes out of key.
theres a big difference. when i'm on a dancefloor and being hypnotised. i dont want to be rudely brought down from my trip.
artists can do what they want as far as i'm concerned as long as its interesting. its harder for DJs to get that right because they are trying to mix two ideas, for the producer, its his own ideas he's mixing.
Sorry, my mistake. !
fair enough, you can do what you want if you make your tracks,
but since most of the people that make techno or other "four-to-the-floor" elecronic music, do hope that people will dance to it,
they will also hope that DJ's will play it,
and if you want the DJ to play your track, there's usually a few "tricks" that will improve your chances, no ?
that's all I'm saying, that this "there's no rules"-thing only truely counts if you're not aiming for the dance floor.
