I think you're assuming too much about the responsibility of a dj to you the individual. I've known Rick for a while and I can only shed this light on the subject. He's a house freak, not unlike myself, and he plays what freaks Rick Wade, not what he thinks any given crowd might like. DJ'ing to me is just an opportunity to do what freaks us out for the public. When we play, we play a mix of whatever's freaking us out at the time. I'm sure Rick was just doing his thing and it just wasn't the right thing for you at the time.
Ever hear Sneak play? He's one of my absolute favorite dj's and producers, he's all about the filtered loops, but to me the way he does it, the way he plays, it freaks me. I don't think so much about it, it's just doing it for me at the time. There are other producers I love too, they play all original cuts, that freaks me too. it's just a matter of any given moment, sometime sour "moments" aren't in sync, what can you do? -Giles. / http://www.flatplastic.com rol leider wrote: > I heard Rick Wade not so long ago and was very disappointed at his selection > of what was ninetenths generic discoloops with only an occasional deep house > track like the stuff he produces thrown in.
