i dont see the problem with a dj playing their own tracks either, you should be playing tunes you like and you should be making tunes you like so whats the problem with that.

yeah i read what he said in amazement, why shouldnt a dj/artist play their own shit? i think he said something like they were selfish!!! what an arse.

i actually like some of baileys stuff, but ive been doubting this cunts attitude for a few months now. i think hes bit of a publicity seeker, i think i might just stop buying his records.

Bailey's a hard one to work out alright, seems to be over anxious to state how 'into the music' he is and likes to name drop Autechre and Boards of Canada every 5 minutes for a bit of cred. In ten years time I don't think he'll be remembered for any great service he has given to techno despite the huge amount of 'big' releases and remixes he's had out.

[icb]

Ben Sims was on my mind either when I read that, Just feeling as you do, although I like Bailey`s techno very much, his production and DJing alike :neutral:

I take back what I said above, I don't know Bailey personally and I don't like sounding like a cynic, he probably does love music as well as Autechre and Boards of Canada!

Oh I know that, don't worry, it wasn't related to what you said that made me reply, but looking back on what i said i just thought i could have been unfair on the guy

[jonnyspeed]

British DJs are not better than European. Get out a bit more if you think that. Get your arse over to Holland, Germany, France central/eastern europe - go to some parties then i'll still fackin' fight you it.

grrrr :twisted: twisted indeed.

[jock]

er i believe they are!!!

Ben Sims
Surgeon
Dave Clarke

3 of the best techno djs EVER ;) Maybe not the biggest names, but much better than the likes of Beyer/Bailey/Liebing/Vath etc

In fact, I think they should have a battle one day, British and US vs Europe lol

and that's the problem
shouldnt matter where they are from, cause im sure theres some unknown jerkoff in pakistan with a pair of decks that can wipe the floor clean with all the aforementioned names.

Don't see the point of this at all, like in the other post saying that Geezer is better than Skoog.. it's not a competition, everyone should be judged as individuals and what they can do, not all the time who is better and all that crap.. it's really not what it should be about.

[dan the acid man]

well said sunil and summer of sam

[VOMATRON]

couldnt it be people as chris liberator, mcaffer & the rest of the family hes meaning when he says british dj's? cause dave clarke,surgeon...i mean, heard them playing the widest variety of things from anywhere...whereas many of the acidtech dj's play a lot of each others stuff within the circle mostly. still...i like it a lot, much of it, but its true isnt it?

[VOMATRON]

and,..uhm..since when has british dj's stopped being european?

[spiralx]

Yeah I reckon he must be talking about the acid techno crew... it's what I think of when someone says UK techno. But the days of it being a totally separate scene from the European techno scene are years gone; most of the time DJs will be playing stuff from both the UK labels and European ones. And while the UK labels do have a distinctive sound to them, it's not that dissimilar to the European sound nowadays either.

And anyway if you've got a scene where DJs know each other and help and collaborate of course they're going to play each other's stuff. I don't see why that's odd.

I don't think being a good DJ has anything to do with where you're from, and you're forgetting about the amount of UK DJs who play on the continent reguarly, and not necessarily the really big names.
re: the interviews
With the demise of Overload, good to see someone getting on the case covering the gaps that the main magazines miss..
