It worries me a lot when people like Deadmau get high ranking within certain Top 100 DJ polls. I know the poll is public voting and in no way representetive of the staff who run them, but Deadmau is the one who was quoted as saying that the time of the DJ was coming to an end. Yet is then happy to charge twenty pounds a ticket for people to go and see him play.
If he really thinks that DJ’ing is over then why is he out there on the circuit making cash from it. There are many DJ’s out there who love the job and would kill for prime slots at places like Matter, yet will never get the chance. It is my feeling that if you are a producer or Dj and have no respect for your audience then you should give it up and move on.
People who pay to go out clubbing want to see DJ’s play live and not get spoken down to or taken for a ride. This is just my feeling and obviously other people may feel different to me, but that is the good thing about the internet, we can air our views and respond to criticism alomost instantly.
