Cool that people are posting their thoughts.... perhaps we should get Emmanuel and Ben James on SoulGood (FreshFM) to discuss these issues on air and do a mix up too?

Emmanuel and Ben, let me know via email: soulgood@freshfm.com.au and will git it sortid!

I too am wrapped that people are posting their thoughts. That was my intention when I replied to Bill's post. As far as a conversation on radio - I'm not a music director but I wouldn't like to listen to too much chatter on radio especially the pros and cons to entertaining people (when you should be entertaining people).......... then again I don't listen to radio except when I'm driving to my gig. Cheers C Ya in the clubs.

Hey Bill, thanks for the invitation to Soulgood. I'm not too sure I can contribute much more than my post though.

However, I'd love to come in to the studio and soak up some Soulgood vibe inthemix. Not sure there's any use in me mixing, what tune could I play you guys haven't possibly heard of already!
I'll drop you a line soon on the freshfm email address.

As for crispian's post 'DJing as art'... was that a not so subtle way of saying 'this thread is a joke?' or is that just his sense of humour. Either way, it made me laugh.

Have a good weekend guys.

Ben James.

A little from column A and a little from column B. :-)

I'm just aware that when more than 2 DJs get in a room and the word 'Respect' starts getting thrown around, it's really secret code for 'lets all get together for a giant circle-jerk'. :-D Just keeping things light.

Glad it gave you a giggle, but I'll have the last laugh when in 25 years, and after 4000 releases of my 130 bpm bleep, I'm being inducted into the Dance Music Hall Of Fame as 'The Godfather Of Neo-Plastic Music'! Actually now that I think of it, my music is more cubist.

Nothing like injecting a bit of humour into the thread. I wonder where the thread would have wandered left to its own devices...

I'm not sure I was focussing on the 'respect' issue. From my personal experience of meeting DJs, most are very humble. Perhaps I've just been lucky, but I've met a lot of guys playing tunes regularly, all who gave me the impression they feel they are lucky to be doing what they do. I've sensed some arrogance from one or two, but have to say I can't share your views on DJ's and their issues with respect.

My aim was to show my thoughts on DJing as art. Maybe it's not 100% reality, but then again, does that really matter?

Anyway, take care and all the best with the Neo-Plastic Music Movement. May the 130bpm for be with you.

Stay tuned for plans of the Static Fanatic Track It Movement. Disciples will be required to place the needle on the paper centre of the record, and blast the crowd with needle tearing static until booted from the club.

Ben James.
