if he's playing about to the point he cant get the next track lined up, then aye, thats too much... its not controlled playing, big difference. changing back and forth from music genres is nothing short of just playing to the crowd, and theres nothing at all wrong with that in my book, beats listening to a dj that sticks in the same mundane place all set long. did the crowd like it? and by crowd i mean the ppl on the dancefloor, not the club full of wannabie-djs sitting down, over analysing each djs every move and saying things like 'i could have done that mix' and 'ive had this tune for months now'' i have no eddy opinion.
yeah i enjoyed there set, but it wasnt anything amazing, was nice to see a bit of variation in there set instead of a full on trancer. got me dancing.
chill i wasnt talking bout his set on the boat i didnt see it.was talking bout a completely different set ...everyones bitchy when hungover lol
to get wrecked listen to real djs like hardwick and cor fijneman etc and blow my box off this planet. not to go out and chant eddie eddie what is he a pop star who needs him mam to hold his hand.
Hahaha, nice one. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't turn the music down to entice the crowd to chant it. Every time he does it I just wanna throw a lassoo round his neck and pull him in the crowd for a stomping
People seem to like it. It sounds good on his Bosh! discs for Mixmag and I remember him doing a decent one over the top of Over 4 Me at Foundation first time he was on. He did an absoulutely appalling bit of scratching a few minutes in to his set in Leeds NYD. Last time I seen him do it was at Sundissential North in last year and it was so loud you couldn't hear the tune he was doing it to. By contrast, Ilogik was doing a bit of subtle scratching in the next room that was infinitely better!
To me it is not "interacting with the crowd", it is blatantly requesting them to, then lauding in them chanting his name. If you like a DJ extending a break down to 4 times its intended length, at a 3rd of the volume they played the rest of the tune at while you chant their name repeatedly then I don't have a problem with it, what I was posting was only an opinion Anyhow, a good many DJs interact with the crowd in a multitude of different ways, or at least most do on the hard house scene.
Was it not Promise when the stupid fuckers were shouting it towards the end of Matt Hardwick's set? Not only did Hardwick play a better set but it must be fairly off-putting having a crowd of people shouting for the next DJ when you've still got a couple of tunes to play.
