Too many dj's... [Archive] - Deep House Page Forums

From the sounds of some parties in dc this weekend (including mine), I'm wondering if there are simply not enough people around to fill all the House-based dance floors.

About the politics and support...Leslie, I'm not sure what you are suggesting about the "politics and support system". It has caused an increase in the number of DJs? Could you clarify what the system is? (I have a feeling I know, but it would be cool to have you articulate it)

Tell them Leslie!

Hk,
Folks theoretically can do both, Many who do the former however do not do the latter, like your refusal to dance if you ain't getting your rub on yo Hip Hop... (Yo, and where is my CD??????????)

Darrow,
You misattributed Cheddi's comments to Leslie.

Cheddi,
I don't think politics and support are the cause of the problem. I think the problem has been exploited in the furtherance of political aspirations, i.e. down the next man and advance myself or at least plant seeds of doubt and bring him down to my level.

I can accept and understand that there are many different aesthetic sensibilities at play in any audience for any cultural produc.t. I just wish more folks who are not DJs or particularly interested in being DJs had voices that were being heard in these forums, I really think that it would bring a grater balance to a lot of discussions

If the many DJs were not under the support and politics model, people having parties would understand the true nature of promotions and its relation to attendance, because the DJ presence would be low. If they were supporting AND partying..people wouldnt notice them just standing around...as noted by Leslie graemlins/1luvu.gif .
The nature of the game, which is similar to a concept offered by Mangina recently on the DHP..is support and you may get your shot..this creates a plethora of people who will follow this model. I too was drawn into this and learned from early web interactive experience that personally that is not my path...I aint knockin' it though. I guess it is a double edged sword..IMHO you go to a party when you ready to release and bug out...
I cant say this is the total end-all to the problem yet I believe it contributes greatly.

I'm still not totally following the logic.

What I'm hearing is that because the notion is "come to my party and I'll hook you up", DJs (too many of them) attend parties where all they do is stand around. And since they are standing around...(this part I'm fuzzy on)...the party is perceived by attendees as a boring/dead party?

too many djs = too much pressure to play out = I'll start my own party = wack party regardless of dj talent = nobody on the dancefloor

It sounds like the public's current demand for DJ-oriented parties does not meet the current supply of DJs.

In reading the other thread concerning Kerri Chandler's recent set in Chicago, a non-jock patron might be left with the impression that dj's know better about how sets should be constructed, what should be played, therefore, have more of a right to criticize if a jock isn't playin' up to [their] snuff. In the end, this is the kind of critism that hurts the scene more than it helps. Any (unpleased) jock should merely look around when they attend these parties and ask the simple question - did the jock move the crowd? If the answer is yes, despite the jock having played "played out" classics, sing-alongs, and "over hyped" newer cuts, then there's nothing to complain about.

get people that have no idea about house and introduce the experience to them. there are a lot of partys and nights now so we have to try and bring fresh people to our party's even if it means bending the rules a bit musically.

Just a question....

The focus could be on women who like to go out and dance - gee you may want to ask that folks that threw the Expansions party this past weekend - floor full of women then like moths to a flame the men started appearing and dancing...pheremones....

Just a question.... Many DJs will literally "feed" off the energy on the floor. It's give and take. You can play your best, but your best will always be better with a crowd that is feeling you.

Some DJs don't care about this and prefer to play for themselves. I play for the crowd.

I have to get down to one of their parties soon

Just a question.... You obviously don't dj or haven't played to a really hyped up crowd of people...when you have a room full of people who come to dance(not these dj jerks who stand around watching your ever move), you get really energized.

I've debated this with a big name dj(I give you 3 guesses), that it is the crowd that gives you the energy and make you play like a person possessed....he says, you play the same, it is the crowd that makes the party different....are we saying the same thing?

Boy some cats here on DHP are either sheltered"no pun intended" or just a blind ass individual.This crazy shit is ridiculous.

You are a dj,so you should beat the damn box and giove folks a damn good time.I noticed I have a better time and play better,when I do not have 10 dj's all around me in/outside the booth.

I would rather see some heads jacking and runnin' up to the booth giving love,than some cats peering over the booth trying to eyeball cuts.

That pumps me up and makes me give a good set for myself and the party people.

If you think it's all about having the hottest shit first,getting mad loot,having women at your disposal,you are in this shit for the wrong rerasons.That shit is not happenin',unless you put out a HUGE record.

I am just tired of cats dictating how shit should be,wehn they ain't doin' shit.I have noticed,cats who are puttin' it down and handlin' bizness,seldom talk shit.Hmmm,I wonder why?

I am not a dj. That being said, I can't understand why a dj would find satisfaction in playing to a room where no one is compelled to dance? I also don't understand why other dj's go support their fellow dj friends but don't get out and dance. Isn't it the highest compliment to be out on the dance floor grooving to what is being played? I'm not trying to call anyone out, I am just expressing that I don't understand how you can play this music but not recipricate by dancing to it. Maybe I am missing something.

I also think folks should go back and reread the last part of Shalewa's post.

If I am feeling it,I will yell my ass off.I make it nop issue to tell a jock if he is beating it,and is doin' it.I also noticed cats will blow smoke up ya ass too.I know I have had an off nite and cats have said I was banging it.I know they were trying to humor me,but I would rather someone say"Are ya ok?Need a drink?A joint?"

Some nights you go out and you just want to be around the energy and the music but not really up for dancing (I have done this). I am speaking moreso to people who CONSISTENTLY go out and do not take to the dancefloor. They make it all about the dj and I think a party should be about the dj and the dancers and each should feed off of each other. I think this scene has forgotten about its dancers is what I am driving at...

YOU hit the nail on the head girl! I too am guilty of not always dancing and politicing with other DJ's when I go hear someone play, but I am really trying to break that habit. The more people dance, the better the party.

i think as a dj it is part of your job to bring the party with you. that means that you can't expect the room to be jumpin' when you get there. that's too easy. it shows talent when you can play a great set even when there aren't that many people at the event. that isn't a playing for yourself vs. playing for the crowd thing. this is a put on a great show and play great music even if the even is less than inspiring. you should still be inspiring. at least, that is what i think is a sign of a great dj.

maybe the post really should be too many people complaining not enough people dancing.

aside from that, i think dancing has gone out of style a bit. rock has come back a bit. it will change again as it always does. it's the pendulumn thing found in ALL art.

yes there are some concerts where people dance and there are some where they don't.do you see people dancing at a jazz or a fusion concert?( you DID mention marcus miller )
there is still a difference between that and a club with a DANCEFLOOR MADE FOR DANCING!
you obviously missed the point that I made.

The other thing that gets me is the dj who says "well, I don't dance" (another topic for later)...fine, then why do you have to hover at, around or over the dj and the booth....hover your ass out of the way, over by the side, in the back, by the bathroom!

Greetings:

IMHO:

The set and setting is so very important. It is the "calm center and basis" of all social situations.

If all our senses are being "turned on" than believe me, it will within itself, be everything it can.

Too often the set and setting is such that it "turns off" one's senses and therefore the life energy, "overall" is lowered.

One must view "all aspects" of what really enhances a social situation.

If it "don't go in right, it will not come out right."

(set and setting i.e. the overall enviornment)

Some people like to dance, others like to hang around the bar, others like to sit down and enjoy the music, etc... Dj's are people as well, but they dj, so by definition they are interested in the dj-side of things, I don't understand the big deal here.
Just let people do what they feel like doing. If 10 dj's wanna stare at my hands while I'm playing, that's fine, as long as they stay away from my records and don't touch the equipment I don't care, if nobody is staring at my hands that's fine as well, if nobody is dancing there must be something wrong, but otherwise I just play my music like I can play it, be it for 15 people sitting down or 500 people dancing like madmen.
In Dutch they call it '****ing punctuation marks', that's what too many people are doing here...

If 10 dj's wanna stare at my hands while I'm playing, that's fine, as long as they stay away from my records and don't touch the equipment I don't care, if nobody is staring at my hands that's fine as well, if nobody is dancing there must be something wrong, but otherwise I just play my music like I can play it, be it for 15 people sitting down or 500 people dancing like madmen.
In Dutch they call it '****ing punctuation marks', that's what too many people are doing here...

1) every person that walks into a room lends his or her energy to that room

2) the difference between playing for a room full of appreciative people who will dance and playing to an empty room is the same difference as making love to someone you care about vs. masturbating

3) I believe that when the performance is good, the energy in the room feeds the performer and the performer feeds energy back into the room

4) there are lots of people who go out for other reasons than to dance, and many who go out to dance. respect their individuality and recognize that NEITHER a room full of dancers NOR a room full of drinkers NOR a room full of head-boppers makes a great party in and of itself - it is the combined energy of all the individuals, the music, the atmosphere, and the INTENT that makes the energy in the room

Hey fellas if I remember correctly the way to get a party started is to have enough babes. A bunch of guys alone listening to a jock will not make a party. But get some nice babes on a floor and the hounds will even give dancing a shot. The bottom line is females dance alot easier than guys and most females love good vocals so if you hit them with a song they can singalong too then comeback with a new vocal song chances are you'll keep them dancing. So new songs have there place but don't knock a classic that will pack your floor every once in a while.
