Yes I would. I don't take it for granted that I would recognize any song on any given night.

Question for all of you: How often do you listen to DJs that play songs that you don't recognize all night, regardless of the actual age of the songs?

YES!!!!!! as long as its something that i like. many of my best experiences have come from going to hear dj's that just blowed me away with their song selections even though i was unfamiliar with most of them. this is how i get to know about NEW(to me) music. i actually prefer this than going to hear a dj that plays the same 30 songs that i have been hearing day in and day out for the past year.

No problem with new/unreleased tracks. Especially if it's a hot one. They gotta start somewhere.

If a song is "new to me" then it might as well be "unreleased." It has the same effect on the listener.

Keep in mind, that to most people who go to clubs featuring Dance Music (this applies less to Deep House but it applies neverthless), everything might as be "unreleased" because most people aren't that familar with the music or don't really pay that much attention.

Maybe this backlash against "unreleased materal" has more to do with too many "filler DJs" (people who shouldn't be DJs in the first place) than it does with playing unreleased materal.

[Martin Red]

unreleased materal.


Some of it is unreleased for a good reason

[Walter Stallworth]

As long as it's banging...who cares.

[Stan747]

Yes, I would. I'd actually love it, as long as I liked the song selections.

[Myron]

Some of it is unreleased for a good reason

That's not my point. My point was that the focus should be on whether the DJ is heat rather than the familiarity of the records. Some DJs could play a crap set using familiar records all night, while others could play an amazing set using records that are (mostly) new to the crowd. Also if a record is "new to me" then for all intents and purposes it might as well be "unrelesed material" because I have never heard it.

"DJs that play unreleased material" is just another gripe about DJs who suck. People who complain about too much DJs playing too much unrelased material are usually saying that the DJ sucks they are just too nice to say it that way.

[RAS]

YES YES YES! I have always loved new music and that's why I have loved going to the WMC. I get tired of classics all the time, I like them sometimes but you will NEVER see me dancing at "classics" party.

Yes I most certainly would. I'd much rather frequent a dj who is playing new shyt rather than old shyt all night. I like a classic here and there mixed in between, but it's the new released and unreleased that keep house alive. After all, classics were once new at some point. Today's hott new shyt is tomorrow's classic.

Cee, one of the reasons i'm always at your sets is because of your music selection both released and "especially" unreleased. I like to hear what's out there instead of hearing the same songs every dj and their daddy is playing. I can listen to that on my on. The day you start playing the same ol shyt everyone is playing from trax (there is life beyond traxsource if ya look) is the day I smack ya across the forehead. lol Do "your" thing and keep that UNRELEASED shyt coming for the fellow addicts like myself. I guess it's a matter of taste for some, but dayum why listen to the same ole same ole ALL the time when there is such a grand variety out there? That's what I love about this music. There is soooooooo much out there and it just keeps on coming. That's right, feed my dependency!!!

[GROOVE VICTIM]

That shit is sooooooooooooooooooooooo 2002.

But he does make a valid point.

Think about it, you're playing a form of music that has a niche market, where access to the buying public is limited compared to mainstream music. Do the patrons that frequent these clubs live and breathe the music? Or are they there just to have a good time regardless of what is being played by the DJ. Do these "9 to 5'ers" really care or aware that the music being played is unreleased or exclusive?

Seems to me that the only people who know that the music is Unreleased or new are the DJs, producers, and a handful of dancers and listeners, depending on your crowd size.

Because in one way, it’s not so much that the music is unreleased, it’s that, that is your approach! So if you’re the type of moron that would do such a thing, well, you’re a moron!

[The Crazy Life That Is Alarick T]

If a track seems to be a "winner" and it's unreleased, why as an artists/label would you not eventually release it? If your getting a lot of positive feedback, why not release it and get paid for it? I have heard so many great tracks that were white label or unreleased and wanted to buy them just to find out that I couldn't. Hell, some of the unreleased tracks from certain artists were a lot better than the released tracks... :rofl:

I am like WTF? "Put that damn track out!!! That other track sucks!!!" Then artists/labels wonder why their sales are in the toilet lol...

Yaaawwwnnnn!!! And let me know when the party starts..I'm not impressed by a DJ that is playing all of this so called unreleased shit with a bunch of DJs standing around the booth going "oooooohhhh" while the rest of us in the party are standing there with our arms folded...

In this day and age, any producer can put his joint up on Myspace and sell it for a profit, but that's just it, you won't get shit for it. If you shop it, and a label signs it, it can take months for it to get released and by the time the release date arrives, 1, the buzz is gone, 2 access to the tracks via digital download has killed potential sales of your music.

So, it's not a case of "no wonder why producers don't make money" people, simply put, want your shit for free, Primarily DJs.

been saying this for years. playing music "all night" that will never see the light of day is pointless. playing music that people cannot connect with (familiarity) defeats the purpose, imo.

on another note, having all this new music availbale on the web has caused cats to go into an "ultra" new music frenzy. its like, if you play some shit that's six months old, you're late. i ain't falling for it.

i don't know man i've been to very few parties where the dj was breaking new record after new record and the party was at fever pitch. . . at the same time just because the cut is new/unreleased doesn't mean its danceable. . .i'll stick with my jocks who can fluently program the new, recurrents & classics. . .

Like back in the day and even today..... you can hear great music on college radio instead the main stations.......

Futhermore when you do have DJ's that bring the new muzik ....the resident make sure they open the party and play before the crowd get there.....to protect they own vested interest.........

Lastly the club owners and promoters don't know or care its a matter of dollars and cents to them....... they bring in a name cuz they heard this DJ is hot not for actual skills or selection.... for dem its abt money and who can pack them in and if playin BAD LUCK edits does that then they gonna run wit it......

[upliftdisco365]

. . at the same time just because the cut is new/unreleased doesn't mean its danceable. . .i'll stick with my jocks who can fluently program the new, recurrents & classics. . .

Spoken like a cat who's been around for a minute and gets it.

I think it depends largely on the jock. When Sting plays 5 unreleased cuts in a row at Shelter, it's usually chaos, because A) He's a bad mofo. B) He's probably getting his hands on tons of shit all of the time and he's picking out the joints that fit his style and the style of the club. That's right. A few jocks actually have unique styles, but only a handfull in this share/mimic age.

When DJ Nobody drops 5 consecutive unreleased cuts in a row, oftentimes, the songs are completely out of context. They have nothing to do with anything other than the fact that none of them are out yet. Also, what compounds the problem is these cats who are so amped to DJ, that they play the shit for like 2 minutes. I mean, can I get a chance to hear the shit before you isolator/efx box the fuck out of it and before you ride the next song with it for 3 minutes?

Play good songs and get out of their (the songs) way. A little isolator/EQ is great. Maybe even a little more. But I'd like to dance to actual music sometimes instead of just efx, frequency shifts and marathon mixes.

Whoooo hoooo “new treats” junkies on da rise :rofl5:
Luv my classics - would rather it be in my house, in my car, @ work... But preferably not in the club....music is just like life to me, out with the old and in with the new (but never forgetting where you’ve come from to get where you’re going). Ignorance arises when open minds fail to exists......why not be open…why not listen to these new producers who are BUSTING there asses worldwide and embrace the fact that music is not to be stagnant.....Some of these producers are the future of house….. I think a lot of people look @ house as it should ONLY be classics…. I think if you where to ask any of the originals fathers & mothers of house they would have to disagree b/c house was not just classics even back in my mother’s day. So to my fellow YOUTH HOUSE HEADS that plan to carry house into the FUTURE let us not forget the paths that has been paved for us, but never neglect to have an open mind.

(Not directed at you Tee, but to folks in general)
It seems from this thread that folks are assuming the dj would just throw track after track of new music without listening to if b4 playing them. Dont most dj's know whether something is a banger when they hear it or do some djs need to hear another dj play it 1st to determine whether it bangs or not? Don't you know when you hear something the 1st time that it's danceable or are classics safe because you know folks have danced to it before?

Right..I should risk my night,because dj XYZ plays new treats and fiyahh cuts...wrong!!!

I'm a call you on this one Cee.It's pure bullshit and part of what's wrong with today's dj's.

It don't matter how big you are in one place or on the net....ishould a promoter take a risk and put on a guest dj at prime time and ruin the fuckin nite,cause this cat plays all of the new buttaz?

Firsthand,I have seen the damage these unseasoned dj's can do.I have seen a party go from full tilt to folks leaving in droves.

These cats are usually so into their shit or have no actual experience playing for crowds,that they get into their own shit and ruin a nite.

If you were a promoter,would you risk all of your hard work for that shit?I know I wouldn't...and yes it's about money.cause when Dj Hot Fiyahh is gone,so is your crowd and they ain't follwing his ass either...:biglaugha:

That's the gatdamn problem with shit now...cats looking at shit from the wrong angles.

Jocks aren't bringing shit to the table,but expect to be treated as royalty,cause they are playing records.

Cats got shit twisted.

[A1daBAbyGurl]

Right..I should risk my night,because dj XYZ plays new treats and fiyahh cuts...wrong!!!

Ya'll can have at this topic,because there's a lot of nonsense being said here...

:rofl5::rofl5::icon_rofl::rofl5::rofl5:

[AMc]

NO! I would not frequent a a venue with a DJ that plays this way. I've already experienced that and the night is a killer. Killer as in dead.

Regular club go'ers want the tunes they have been waiting to hear in a big venue, where they can DANCE to it, in public. THEY ARE NOT RECORD SHOPPING.....lol.

House music needs more hits. PLAY THE HITS OF THE PAST & PRESENT!!!! House music continues to lack exposure anyways. WTF are some DJ's thinking??!!

This type of shit really makes me want to get back into the clubbing game, so these "unreleased material underground" DJ's can stand & watch me work the crowd just by playing "I Can't Stop" by Plez, followed by a fresh new DJ Gregory joint.

[Physicalheat-The MusicMaster]

Just one question......Who is the DJ playing for?

[AMc]

Right..I should risk my night,because dj XYZ plays new treats and fiyahh cuts...wrong!!!

I'm a call you on this one Cee.It's pure bullshit and part of what's wrong with today's dj's.

It don't matter how big you are in one place or on the net....ishould a promoter take a risk and put on a guest dj at prime time and ruin the fuckin nite,cause this cat plays all of the new buttaz?

Firsthand,I have seen the damage these unseasoned dj's can do.I have seen a party go from full tilt to folks leaving in droves.

These cats are usually so into their shit or have no actual experience playing for crowds,that they get into their own shit and ruin a nite.

If you were a promoter,would you risk all of your hard work for that shit?I know I wouldn't...and yes it's about money.cause when Dj Hot Fiyahh is gone,so is your crowd and they ain't follwing his ass either...:biglaugha:

That's the gatdamn problem with shit now...cats looking at shit from the wrong angles.

Jocks aren't bringing shit to the table,but expect to be treated as royalty,cause they are playing records.

Cats got shit twisted.

Ya'll can have at this topic,because there's a lot of nonsense being said here...

I know we've been on the wrong page about a couple of things here & there, but whenever this kind of stuff pops up with respect to DJ'ing we're always on par, and somewhat moody about it as well (a good kind of moody.....lol).

[AMc]

Just one question......Who is the DJ playing for?

Most likely, the record store.

Jamie you have a right to your opinion and handle your business.... but again it goes back to the protecting your own vested interest not fostering the future of the scene...NO GROWTH in numbers of patrons ........the crowd gets older and older and smaller and smaller i see all the grey hair in dem pictures of the parties.......

YOu calling me on this and that DONT MEAN SHYT TO ME.......PERIOD

Take that down a notch Cee..this is just a convo,but you taking this shit too seriously bruh.

[darrow]

would you frequent a dj that played......Unreleased material "ALL NIGHT LONG" from start to end?????



Why does the release status of the tune matter? It seems like the question (at least for me) would be, would I want to hear unfamiliar (as opposed to unreleased) material all night long.

Does the release status really matter?

[fred da warrior]

Damn, last week cats was whining about not "digging" in the crates far enough, now cats is grumpy about all this mystery ass unrelased material....


geezus, I can't keep up

The most sensible thing anyone has said on this topic so far.

[jihad muhammad]

this topic is so boring. i thought that at one time hearing a dj who knew how to program his music was the reason why we went out. it used to be that the dj created a buzz wih the records he was playing .....be it new or unreleased. the dj used to SELL records but now djing has become so ego driven that having " unreleased " music means what.........that you the shit ? man unreleased dont mean nothing no more....any bedroom dj can get his hands on something that was once reserved for timmy, tony, david morales...etc....

i wanna hear a dj rock....point blank!! mix it up play the new with the old. make the women dance....maybe even make the djs dance too ( when they aint so busy criticizing you b/c your playing joints they have already ). if you program your music right and your set is bangin then you wouldnt have a problem having cats coming to hear you.

Yeah, I have to agree with you on this man. What dj, that wants to be good and liked by dancers, will intentionally play all unreleased music in a set. Especially since we all know that not everything coming out now days is hot. Unfamiliar maybe another story. Because if it's making me dance I don't care.

I use to think WMC was for unreleased stuff. :acclaim: maybe not.

I assumed he equated "unreleased" with "new" music - my bad. RIF Sue RIF! Carry on.

I wouldn't.

An actual opinion on the question posed with no smart assery about how valid the question is. Imagine having a discussion in the general discussion section of a fucking message board.

[Tee Mallory]

. . .on the flipside though, you won't see me on your dancefloor much if i can call your programming before the set. . .lol

Ya'll are buggin. I'VE HEARD SOME OF YA'LL BORE EVERYONE TO DEATH!

[SassyAzz]

The era of DJ worship - the 90's

The era of worship me i'm a DJ who uses the internet as a jukebox - the 00's
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not worshipping the DJ. It's the music I love, but I give "respect" to any DJ that has great taste in selection.

Also, If i'm going to hear a DJ then I already know his reputation and taste. I'm not going to go hear just anyone play.

The point is, there is so much out there. Mix it up old and new, but don't be afraid to play what has never been played. Come out of the dark ages. Be confident in the fact that you have an ear for music and trust your instincts.

[SassyAzz]

. . .on the flipside though, you won't see me on your dancefloor much if i can call your programming before the set. . .lol :hail: :rofl5::grinyes: :thumbsup:

[DJ Hutch]

I’ve seen-heard this done before and let me tell you it’s not pretty and anyone else that’s experienced this knows this. There’s no such thing as a night full of unreleased shit that’s BANGIN all night.

I swear y’all are retarded. For realio dealio Julio.
:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[DJ Hutch]

:thumbsup::thumbsup:
been saying this for years. playing music "all night" that will never see the light of day is pointless. playing music that people cannot connect with (familiarity) defeats the purpose, imo.

on another note, having all this new music availbale on the web has caused cats to go into an "ultra" new music frenzy. its like, if you play some shit that's six months old, you're late. i ain't falling for it.

[DJ Hutch]

i don't know man i've been to very few parties where the dj was breaking new record after new record and the party was at fever pitch. . . at the same time just because the cut is new/unreleased doesn't mean its danceable. . .i'll stick with my jocks who can fluently program the new, recurrents & classics. . .
:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[liL Ray]

this topic really show the djs who are pure fiyah behind them tables and those who are not.

More importantly, it tells the WHY for both....

who the cap fits, let them wear it..

[tony winter]

Yes indeed, but like it was said it has to be bangin, at least most of it.

[DaveR]

I can give you web addresses of sites full of dj's that are like this.

I can't give you brick and mortar addresses of where these dj's play.
:rofl:

[Bill Blake]

this is all a DJ EVER has to do
end of story
all this other Poindexter shit is bullshit

This is why I'm not a DJ. I could only ever play music that gay men liked.

[DJ Hutch]

That why I book those that can bring in the number damn there set old new what every just beat the box and get paid
Peace
DJ Hutch

[Tee Cee 13]

As long as the set is bangin
what's the difference. New, old,
Yesterday, tomorrow.

Come on now Just bang them
out and stop beefin already.........Tee Cee 13

make everyone dance that's what he/she is supposed to do.. to many dj's thinkin with dey dycks when ya start refering to just "make the woman dance."

I know if i pay my money i come to dance and i want to hear a combination of old new and in between...a dj needs to watch and master the crowd , if there's an opportunity to play new stuff and the crowd is feelin it do it..i find that having something familiar prior to hittin us with new material helps with the transition.

a dj's purpose is to help make an affair memorable in their selection they should be able to have emotional peaks and valley's .. i want to leave whistling or singing a tune that he/she played that touched one of my senses...i become bored when i go out and hear djs playing nothing but traks (no vox), or the same vox trak that everyone elese is playing and has on their mixed cds...

P.S. Bill Blake - yes, gay men too (DUH)

Classics Party is all good as long as its billed as a "Classics Party" so you know wht to expect... I been really trying to get out of that rut of pandering to people, but still ripping it... its hard especally when your "day job" is 100% pandering all night......

Brother you NEVER have to worry about getting into that rut! You have mad talent and awesome programming skillz...

[poetexcellence]

YES!!!!!! as long as its something that i like. many of my best experiences have come from going to hear dj's that just blowed me away with their song selections even though i was unfamiliar with most of them. this is how i get to know about NEW(to me) music. i actually prefer this than going to hear a dj that plays the same 30 songs that i have been hearing day in and day out for the past year.

Yeah...I mean for me I love to hear different music as long as it sounds good and have a flow and it is mixed well...to me that is how you keep music fresh and keep being inspired. As a dancer and a music lover sometimes I get pissed when the same music is played over and over again by different people. It is like of all the good music that exist not even 1/16 of it is played in the underground scene and forget about mainstream...so this would be a refreshing concept...In fact I wish that was the approach of most DJ's...

no. i'm not a stalker. it's just a guy playing records. if someone does play a bunch of unreleased/white label stuff all night long that would be fine as long as it's GOOD. if it's just crap then who cares if he/she is playing unreleased/white label stuff or commercial stuff. crap is crap and good is good no matter what kind of genre, label, or release it is.

hahahahaha @ the if the music is banging i don't mind comments. i bet most of the yesmen are "deejays. ray is right. farking liars.

search the archives for those "favorite tunes" threads and guess what? 99.9% classics every time all the time.

all this bullshit about classics are dead gotta move on the new shit is what's keeping the scene alive blah blah blah is BULLSHIT!!! to quote depeche mode, "get the balance right".

one of the biggest problems in this scene is the lack of cohesiveness. nobody is really working together to break the ESSENTIAL tunes and KEEP them in ROTATION.

the club is really an extension of radio & club programmers that follow the radio formula will be the most successful. not talking about playing commercial hits. don't front you know what i'm talking about. the big problem is dj's get bored too quickly with their music so to them they gotta "keep it fresh". WHAT_EVERRRRRRRRRRR!!!

boohooohoo. it's a job, you get payed to entertain. sometimes ya gotta play tunes you're tired of hearing. it's a fact of life.
