for a few weeks now certain threads and topics on soulsource have gotten a tad out of hand.
i just want to try now and put an end to the bitching, which has materialised for some inordinate reason.
i personally dj and go to soul nights cos i love the blooming music and the atmosphere generated by the fact that we are all on a sweaty dance floor for the same reason, i think, THE SOUNDS.
i dj as a hobby not a way of life, i do not expect or receive any payment for djing, i do rather well in my proper job thanks.i prefer to go to soul nights to dance me backside off and strangely like to go home covered in sweat and with my legs feeling like iron bars, bonkers i know, but hey thats just me. should people want to go to soul nights that play rarer than rare or modern tracks then fine that is their parogative.
certain elements have NO right to slag myself or others off for playing the toons that i or people i know do play. i am not 18 years old anymore and i like many others have commitments now that we didnt have back then, so it is harder to go to a venue every weekend, much as i would like to. i DO NOT only go to venues where i am DJing, and i do try to support local venues, however as i have already said, i dont want to spend x amount of £'s entry and stand around for the majority of the evening, the scene is about the music and breaking new tunes is a very important part of it, but my OWN PERSONALL view is that i dont want to spend the whole or majority of the evening listening, i want to dance aswell.
i may be a 2nd or 3rd rate dj or even further down the food chain and i know that i will never get to the dizzy heights of mega stardom, i dont realy give a toss, i just want to enjoy my hobby and if promoters ask me to bring along me box of tunes and do a set then great i will.
So to summerise all i want to say is, i enjoy what i do, ITS FUN, and whoever you are slagging me and others off you obviously feel strongly about what you listen to and dance to, as i do, as i have come to the conclusion that the twain shall never meet lets just let sleeping dogs lie. So as that great philospher Forrest Gump said "thats all i have to say about that"
