we've had hundreds of people at bunker, i've seen hundreds of dj's play in both nyc, detroit, and abroad, and i've been playing for 15years...

and i've maybe seen someone take the needle off the wrong record, at best, twice.

at the professional level, that should never happen, if you ask me.

i've done it several times, and also pressed stop on the wrong ableon track, even when I've been concentrating very hard and in control of my brain.

in that situation it's all about the recovery that makes it unnacceptable or not.

having said that, I just dj for fun, although I am a serious musician, so maybe someone who djs frequently has less excuses.

and even that ricardo failed at - he pulled the needle off / hit stop on the cdj, stood there, laughed at himself, waved, and THEN restarted it after like 4sec of silence.

can we organise an intervention? book him for a gig and have everyone sit down with him and say, look, ricardo, we want you back.

unfortunately only the ibiza crowd can afford his fees and they only want his name to cheer at

Complacency, has gotten the best of Ricky. It's a shame.

Funny you mention that, he done the exact same thing when he was playing in Melbourne last year. Oddly the crowd seemed to enjoy the skipping more than the music.

Dygas set is the only one ive listened to so far, was overly fussed but then I find it hard to get excited over house these days.

well i've been playing for 10 years, but for this time the most irritating thing has been one dj talking sh!t about another. excuse me but who the fck are you to say what is acceptable? a resident dj at a club, be it a nice one? go make some music and then talk, but thats not as easy as talking sh!t on a forum.

as far as i'm concerned, ricardo has earned the right to stand there and press the start/stop button whenever he feels like it (yes he does it on purpose, so people like you can talk about how wrong it is). also, no need for "old" ricardo for me... the cafe del mar remix is one of the best sounding tracks i've heard in ages, no - i repeat - no one can yet do it like this, on this planet.

plus, its only a dj set, what did you expect? the guy played what he felt like playing... mediocre this mediocre that.. go figure.
