wow this is a change for the norm of this list, i am happy .It is full of
nonsense 98 percent of the time. Jonra has raised some good points ,thanks
bro .Stating ones opinion is wonderful and very American thing to do . so
here it goes.
This scene is mostly cliques,
half the people are house cows ,who just follow what is cool or where the in
place is to be, or they know they can get their drugs from joe shmoe at such
and such party . I have been playing out of town and for different types of
parties more often lately than here in town, in our scene .Mostly because
the money is good ,but also because most of those people enjoy something
different,and i enjoy that .something i cant say for our house scene ,it
seems they like the same shit over and over till someone tells them it is no
longer hip.then they quickly move to the next thing like cattle .sorry that
is my obsevation ,if it bothers you ,your probably one of those people and
you should check yourself.
Support your local djs and they will come through for you ,let them know
they can get crazy and try something different or else they will fear change
and the rest of the world will pass LA by and not even blink.We will be
pigeon holed into being stale boring top 10 house cows wallowing in our own
shit.(it smells funny in here!)
This stale feeling ,it is not the promoters, it is not the local jocks fault
,(it does have to do with certain record stores,where most Djs shop, being
very narrow in the selection of music they sell,saving the best shit for
themselves and the djs associated with those stores.Ive worked at record
stores ,that is how they do shit ! ) it is the crowds and what they want(or
feel comfy with) ,what they will show up for what they will pay for here in
LA .I have worked for the past 11 years as a dj all over the country and
abroad and never in my life have i seen a scene as snooty and bitchy as this
one ,not even in New York!,on the other hand LA has a real sense of
community and dedication. Even if we do bicker alot WE are LA, as ive said
before, not one dj or crew not one party but all of us good and bad
.everyone should try a crew and party that they have never tried before see
what is out there you may find something new or realize that the parties you
normally pick really are the best for you, at least you can form an opinion
that way and have something to back it up instead of just shit
talking.Another reason i think things are so cut throat is because a lot of
people are trying to make a living at this, and guess what, very few can do
it,people lose money all the time,more than you might think ,that is what
makes it so intense .my intention here is not to be down on LA, i love it
here, i have fun at parties here.I have respect for a lot of the locals
,they are way talented , although some should go back home and
practice.alot.those names will stay in my head.
we just need to understand that we are a family, and rarely do freinds and
family reside in the same house.we will all have different opinions and that
is what makes the world go round.I think promoters need to here what the
opinions are from the party goers . It helps to throw a better party next
time .
just my opinion
hope you all had a great holiday season
its a new year and i hope we can treat it that way,new, lets show the planet
we have the best house scene on the map.
hope im making sense here .sorry for any mispellings ,grammatical errors or
type os.
Stay true to what you love and the world will come to you.
