Oh Nina no

ScottBailey

Along_the_Wire Agreed, good luck to the girl and congrats on the sucess so far. I normally turn her (and most of the other DJs in this genre) off after about 10 minutes of intrigue as I don’t get it, but music (as with the other arts) is subjective and it’s is probably why she’s killing life and I’m still in a 9-5 ha!

Kells77

Along_the_Wire Ok fair enough….I don’t like that she’s a shitty dj that gets gigs because she’s pretty. There. I said it.

I would like her if she were actually talented, but she’s not.

Along_the_Wire

Kells77 She’s a shitty DJ that plays shitty music to a crowd that fucking loves it. Let her have her time in the sun.

ScottBailey

Kells77 She’s an entertainer. She entertains. How some can be entertained for hours on end by the sounds she puts out will leave many shrugging their shoulders (myself included), but part of me thinks the music being played isn’t always the priority these days. Be there to be seen (see instagram)…..

Yeah I guess I just don’t care what she thinks about things. The day I look to The Black Madonna for policy breakdowns is the day I throw myself off of Half Dome. But if she can knock out a decent set and a remix here and there, cool.

zackster

jonattonyeah see I need musicians to be 100% in line with my views, or they are right out. Its why I’m such a fan of Boyd Rice.

alistair

jonattonyeah tune

Kells77

Along_the_Wire Hahaha….fair enough. I’m not forced to listen.

Along_the_Wire

I’m a shitty DJ that plays brilliant music to people that don’t give a shit. It’s no life.

Kells77

Along_the_Wire LOL I suppose that would be true. You can always be your own audience, and then you play to an awesome crowd every time! Success!

jonattonyeah

How far did Diggers get off of looking like an incredibly attractive potato?

Kells77

ScottBailey Yeah, maybe I’m just old. The music is pretty much my only priority when I go out lol

Along_the_Wire

Kells77 May I suggest you see DJs you know will hit the spot with their music policy and their mixing? This Nina bird doesn’t sound like she’s up your straße

Dubman

But does G-man rock a decent pair of shoes whilst DJing.

alistair

I have a problem with her playing a load of covid gigs.

Kells77

Along_the_Wire Typically I do. But at the beginning of lockdown, there was just so much out there to see….I got greedy. 😂

bosstrabs Interesting observation I had yesterday, listened to Sasha from Alexandra Palace on New Years 98/99, some of the tracks he played were absolute shite EDM type tracks, case in point - - - > Arrakis - Aira Force. Massive jesus pose and fireworks breakdown, exactly the kind of stuff that I’ll never listen to ever again from that era and I’m sure he’s embarrassed himself if he ever listens back to some of those sets.

So what is classed EDM? Is it the type of record? the clientele? The theatrics behind the decks? Production quality?

Not that I really give a fuck anyway, horses for courses etc etc. I’m not too cool for school, if kids enjoy nights out listening to Nina or Guetta then more power to them.

Its now become its own genre. Aoki, Deadmau5 , Martin Garrix, et all make it. Big saw tooth synths, pitch bending the lead right before the “drop” and cymbals place on the kick drums (as opposed to in between) are all earmarks.

bosstrabs

zackster Sure, I get that, but I object somewhat to having the term ‘electronic dance music’ applied to that narrow band of shite, just like I’d object to ‘rock music’ only meaning say The Killers / Razorlight / [other fairly shite bands of that ilk].

LT42

zackster I know the culprits only too well, it mostly feels like a massive hijack by record execs from the US too. Which is why I don’t think it has to do with a “sound” per se as theres been many “EDM” type tracks played by large DJs for over 20 years now.

Nina getting away with it because of her looks is a nonsense as far as I’m concerned and is neither here nor there. We were only talking the other day about women “Sarshering” front and centre mostly because they wanted to ride the head off him, and men too down the front thinking the same also (Dermo). I know plenty of women from back home who only went out because the DJ was “hot”, (see İdris Elba for further reference). Unfair to throw that at Nina imo, she’s a genuine vinyl lover and collector.

I’m fairly trashed right now on moonshine and might not be making any sense anyway, Zach.

jonattonyeah

EDM has become less of an acronym and more of a word of its own. It’s like obscenity. There is no real definition of what’s obscene, but we know it when we see it.

Hursty

Mass market EDM is the quick route to being minted if that is your goal, just look at Calvin Harris.

The underground electronic scene is where the real talent and music lovers are, which is stating the obvious.

ScottBailey

Hursty The shiny event at a beach resort, with fireworks going off and product placement everywhere is always going to be the more popular ticket around. Has the sheep flocking from miles around. Harping back to the “be there, be seen” moto. It’s a shame because music integrity has always lost out because of it, but that’s life and it’s only my opinion.
