to all critics of mod dance party
ha ha ha this is hilarious. I just got to wiegh in on some of this ridiculousness.
thanks to all you people that defended mod dance party, much love, my friends. you are the ones that get it. esp. whoever wrote that from NYC. you hit the nail on the head.
I love how spoiled brats can come to an event that doesn't charge a cover charge. hence they don't even pay for , then they complain about it. how it isn't this or it isn't that. hilarious.
I'm all for constructive criticism! want to hear some rare songs? request them! if I don't have them this time, write it down, and I'll bring them next~ but these people don't want to help out in a positive way, they just want to play armchair deejay and tear away at something that they themselves can't do.
if ya don't like it, don't come! take your amazing ulra rare record collections and make your own dj night from scratch at some other bar! knock yourself out. I'd personally love to see it happen! but, when no-one shows up and you give up after doing it 2 or 3 times, well, I've got the world's smallest violin in my pocket waiting to play a solo for you!
anyway, thanks for coming even though you don't like it. the circle bar and the dj's are thank you spending your money on drinks.
I love the person that wrote in with advice on how to dj, beat master, mix it up and scratch and all that, and how to do a "good party."
thank you for schooling me!!! man, I don't know how I've done a regular dj night for seven years with a packed dance floor of happy people every time without you telling me how it's done! it's amazing!!
as for transplainting this dance party to other cities. I've got news for you, I've dj'd in nearly all those cities you mentioned, save for london and berlin, and not only did I not get boo'd off stage, but I have had a great time, and everyone loves it. esp. new york, where half the audience is people with record collections you can't imagine.
as for "playing the same 20 songs every time" maybe you've been smoking too much crack over there.
first off, every dj at the dance party is really open to taking requests, which we do all the time. if you want to hear some ulra rare song, there is actually a fairly good chance we have it. come up and ask!
yes, we do play a certain number of songs that were in the top 100 in 1966.
when you start at 10 ish and end at 4 ish you dj for six hours. six hours, man! try it sometime! and no, not with your ipod.
yes, in six hours you might play some beach boys or stones or whatever well known songs in there. a very large amount of these songs are requests, anyway.
the reason we play those songs is: we love those songs. we personally want to hear those songs. if you don't like them, then...hmmm... oh fucking well !!!
anyway, they are great songs,
and if you don't like "wooly bully-or whatever that song's called" (which we actually hardly ever play) I feel sorry for ya. sam the sham, man! check it! it fucking rules. don't like it? whatever. have fun listening to emo rock or whatever it is you'd rather listen to.
anyway, those better known songs are maybe 20 per cent of what we play. maybe it's the only 20 per cent of the songs that you actually can recognize, so you remember those ones, or something....
the other 80 per cent they don't play on the oldies station, and I'm pretty certain you don't have them at home, on your ipod of whatever you listen to. any which way, I personally play a slew of new songs every time I do mod dance party.
as for "beat matching" "mixing" or whatever the heck, if you want that stuff, go to a "techno rave" night. it's not what we do. and the spaces between the songs are intentional. we do it that way on purpose. and we don't want to
" keep the dance floor moving for hours on end at a certain tempo"
why would we even want to do that?? is that fun if your at a rave on xtc or pot or something? I like song with different tempos. I like spaces between songs and I like pops and hisses. if you want smooth emotionless perfection, listen to "trip hop" or whatever.
yes, I started mod dance party in 2000. that's six and a half years ago. I am totally certain that not a single one of the 3 or 4 people that are compaining about mod dance party was there at the start. actually I'm pretty sure they've probably only gone in the last year or two.
I started mod dance party from scratch and all us dj's built it up over the years. when you do the same, then I'll listen to you seriously. other than that, come or don't come, I couldn't care less. but when you keep coming, (which I know you're going to...as much as you complain....) please buy many drinks, cause we need the lunch money.
as for krazy k, I'm her friend to the end.
