Were you wearing glasses and a tie? If so you played a mean set

Who was the other DJ wearing black?

 

yep! that was me.
thats my buddy kevin.
goes by kevamine.
he plays out quite a bit.
i generally dont anymore.. i find getting old keeps me pretty busy.

thanks for the kind words!

its been a few years since i played at all so i was a bit rusty but it was fun.
a LOT of folks came out. i was pretty surprised.

PVD KILLED it though.
and i dont even like trance.

 

Thought you mixed it up real well. I know our entire group thought you did a better job than kevamine.

Unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of PVD that night. To be hoenst I thought the whole thing was way over choreographed and nothing like the events from years ago. ( I used to DJ and lived in Florida and overseas a lot). I mean PVD hit play and pretty much walked away. No crowd interaction, no building up of the beat and then dropping a mean break.

I've always liked PVD and thoguht he was number 2 in my books, but didnt seem like her brought his A-game that night. We need Tiesto to come around!

Nice nice man...didn't know you DJ'd

I'm a big fan of some of the early 2000s techno, don't care much for the newer stuff

Best techno song ever imho - DJ Hydro - Trippin the Trance

I like a few remixes of Return to Ibiza, DJ Alligator, and DJ Caffeine.

 

hehhhe don't get me started on Tiesto..I dunno where trance is going nowadays...seems like all the kiddies like that seizure induced stub-step (dubstep)

 

thanks for the kind words!
kevins actually a pretty damn good dj.. he gets a little impatient.
i would have normally spun a much chiller opening set but the crowd really wasnt responding.
i guess no one really gives a shit about music progression anymore these days..

i thought Paul did fantastic. i havent heard him in years and he wasnt really DJing.
it was more of a live pa set.
his set up with 2 macbooks with ableton and 4 controllers. he was doing a lot up there.

tiesto was here a few months ago. lol. not a big fan to be honest.
i hate trance. i used to love it but then i guess i just got tired of the cheeze...
im more of a house guy.




yea.. been playing for a little over 15 years. i used to play out in charlotte a lot. raleigh never had much going in terms of electronic music til recently.
its been a while since i played anything though.

idk. i kinda lost interest after the whole digital revolution. the music got shittier and i just didnt have it in me to keep up.
id rock 2 turn tables and a mixer over cd players to be honest.

i threw events for a little while too but thats probably the fastest way to throw your money away if you wanna hear something new.
