FAO BEDROOM/LOCAL DJs

I have never seen a bedroom DJ who can even come close to comparing on technical ability, tune selection, creativity, presence, and of couse that ever ellusive x-factor. [/B][/QUOTE]

Thats coz most ov them copy there style and can never pull it of as good

Aint you a bedroom DJ?

I suppose I'd class myself as a 'bedroom DJ', sort of. Play one or two gigs here and there, but I'm not resident anywhere (til the Summer ) or anything. I'm not shit, and every single gig I've ever played, I've had someone say "Fuckin hell, good set mate", and people asking about what a certain tune is. My tune selection is pretty unique, and IMO, is shit hot!

Look at what happened to Paul Hillyer a few years back. He was a bedroom DJ, and he was shit hot, won a competition then rocketed, playing before AND after Sasha @ Cream's Brixton Academy party on Millennium Eve.

In actual fact, the 'bedroom', and lesser known DJs of this world, tend to work a hell of a lot more than the big names.

Thats because thoday superstars done there graft years ago

Yeah, maybe, but because their name's more known don't mean they gotta stop workin as hard.

What hard work do you want them doing?

Not saying the bedroom DJ's I know are shit mate. Lee at times can be amazing and Che is consistently excellent. I've heard Bigdave play some really good sets as well. I'm at Vuzz every week and Sunday Trading regularly and I think very few of the DJ's who have played there have been shit.

Just trying to point out that the Picotto's and Tiesto's have worked hard to get where they are, are extremely talented and more than deserve their status.

I've heard some awesome DJ's down at Egypt Cottage but nothing comes close to Tiesto or Picotto!

Would Tiesto &Picotto @ EC be a good night out?

YES!!!

mmm...Tiesto

I have. Last Saturday night I was at the Lemon Lounge (Liverpool) to see Sonny Wharton. Admittedly he isn't a 'bedroom' DJ, but he isn't a name... ... yet. I have never heard such a set in my life from a relatively 'unknown' he would have wiped the floor with a hell of a lot of 'big' DJs that night.

Wouldn't have called a Renaissance and Manumission resident a bedroom DJ like, but I see where you're coming from

I only class people as Manumission resident if they play in the main room all summer due the fact that over the course of the summer it seem anyone with records in Ibiza gets to play in the backroom or inside @ space.

As far as I know, Sonny used to play the main room, all Summer.

Ok I just been informed he didn't, but he's still fucking quality, and 'Manumission resident' is still nice to have on the CV

What shift did he play? it must have been btwn 12 & 2 because when I went I left @ the end and I had seen no Sonny jim.

See my above post

Played Music Box room apparently

Allie once your working on Island and you dont get play at any of the big clubs, I will call you shit forever!!!! Once you have networked the Island you get slots all over, you get next to nowt for playing like but at least your CV will look good.

Yeah I heard that. Will be my first year over there so not hoping for anything miraculous.
Wouldn't mind the odd slot at Space tho

You will get something just keep asking. Ask Kanya for a day shift job, ask The Garden of Eden for the odd morning slot. Make a shit load of CDs showcasing yourself before you go with your mobile number on them & dish them out.
Try the West End it did Rob Orton no harm, it did Jon Constaine (Spelling) no harm, it did Jon Ulysess (Spelling) no harm, etc etc......the people who fail in Ibiza are the ones who think they will be playing PACHA after a week on island.

OH & GET YOUR RECORDS INSURED!

Haha they're comin with me as hand luggage, and never leaving my side!
