Visionary Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Good on Dan, hopefully he will get some support and get people down, he is a good DJ, and Legends isn't a bad venue, just the manager who is an @sshole and thats why I won't go down myself, same for a number of people sadly. All the best & go for it Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visionary Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 just the manager who is an @sshole Aren't they all! Sadly every manager I have ever worked for turned out to be one, except my current boss, although I would be expected to say that as he employs me, he actually enjoys dance music, which is the first manager I have known to do so, and has faith in me without permanently giving it the "big I am".

Deejay Denzel Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Andy Kendle was a good manager of breeze many years ago, his sacking was down to some wrong doing higher up the chain. shame he got some of the blame. He was a really genuine guy. I'm sure the place wouldn't be on it's arse if he was in charge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected, he was sound with me for a few years, it was when he left it got ugly for me, which is what you always remember sadly. My apologies and thanks for the reminder Denzel you know what my memory is like, who are you, who am I ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visionary Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Mmm, hope you feel good for that rant, as it has probably dented a few DJ's ego's. A few points i would like to make, and i know this was your opinion, so i'm just adding mine. Judge Jules isn't good enough to wipe PH's butt, the few times they played together Paul was far the better DJ, and usually was no matter who he was warming up for over here, and there is no doubt Paul is the best and most loved dj over here, all would agree, but it would be unfair to undermine what others have achieved saying he is the only real dj, I for one have worked very hard for 7 years, harder than someone pressing start/stop on a cd and shooting his mouth off thats for sure. With regards to the good mixing dj's, there were some good ones left out, but most notably, and shockingly given his club service over last decade or so, Ricky Rooney, yet James Turpin was included, and i'm not knocking James as i know and like the guy, but he would be first to admit Ricky should be in that list instead of him. Ricky has, along with Paul, kept the more underground dance scene in the Islands clubs alive, and i can't deny that i as a dj benefit from what they have done in the past, i wouldn't be playing dance music now in a club if they never did what they did, well, i believe that anyway. With regard to certain skills, being gobby isn't a skill, any knob can shoot his mouth, a crafted humour is a skill, but it tends to come with arrogence and a love of their own voice, however, only dedication and passion can get you to be a decent mixing dj, but then, who would know as their all smacked off their tits...

Deejay Denzel Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Full-on! as a group is most certainly not dead, as long as our DJ's are still out there we are very much alive. Full-on! Fridays has ceased but we are still out there and events are still happening. We have been working with DTL and have already worked on two 1000 capacity events so far this year with another 3 planned by the DTL. Unfortunate for most these have been under 18's! I am hoping to put on a large scale event for our 8th birthday but more news on that to follow shortly. I play quite often in C'est La Vie and now the Outback, They're not on the scale of FOF but I just love playing to a crowd and getting some cool new tunes off myt chest. I have respect for any DJ who entertains crowds and enjoys it, whether they be mobile, club or radio. More respect to the mobile DJ, they do put in a lot of hard work for what they get paid! There are a few out there who have bought a sound system, lights ... a few hits cd's and parade as DJ's with no interest except for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
