yeah, the record selection bit is where the hard work goes.
The actual playing them bit is a piece of piss. Getting chicks on the dancefloor is an art all of its own- when I play club sets I go for house records with good basslines that still sound alright pitched up around 132 BPM. Women fucking love bass.

Chicks first, then the boys will follow. Different rules for bar/ backroom sets though, get the hip hop nerds on board first, then the chicks will follow. I personally find club sets much more rewarding though far more stressful. Bar sets where you're just soundtracking things are more 'fun'.

I just play what I like. I'm long past giving a toss about other people.

when I get requests
I not so politely ask the prick to look through my record box and I hand them the headphones.

Pricks.

Much to my shame, there are now TWO dupstep tracks I like.

Dubstep's alright.
Just like with any other genre you need to ignore the mainstream pop shit and dig a little deeper.

You heard any Benga tracks? He's good. As is Martyn, he bridges the dubstep/techno crossover thing. Also check out Shackleton and Kode 9.

such is life in electronic music, old boy.

All music really
Although 'extreme' metal has the stupidest names of any of them.

There aren't many artists I know tbh
My friend talks about Savant quite a bit, might have to give that a listen. Just a shame I've only got one system that can deliver half-decent bass, but I don't tend to use it much, as housemate below me hates it.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 4 Jul 2013, 8:39, Reply)

see, dubstep is ostensibly club music
But I find it far too slow. It's alright for headphone listening (especially the more garagey stuff like Burial). It's way past its creative peak as well, people like Mt Kimbie, and to a lesser extent, James Blake, are doing some interesting stuff with the template.

It's pretty much done what Drum n Bass did back in the day- been assimilated into pop tracks and cheap & nasty Ministry of Sound compilations. Like I said, dig a bit deeper than Magnetic Man and Skrillex.

Can't fucking stand Skrillex, his old music was even worse.

"chicks first, then the boys will follow"
Is this your coming out speech?

It's the preamble to my 'no fat chicks' speech. So, you know, shit off, yeah?

I think you need to get laid old chap
Your balls are cutting off the circulation to your brain.

Maybe get a second hamster to spice it up a bit?

He has 'blue balls'.


Turquoise blue.
