i dont class him with the overpaid etc. as i personally
feel he's been in a league of his own for years with
nobody even now able to touch him on a good night.
Hmm, ok.
and it would be nice for him to give us the chance
to "progress with him" at the clubs we all love and
have seen him rock many times. not in some super
money club full of people who really won't understand
what he's actually doing.
Now you wouldn't know that. The one thing I've learned about the
masses or mainstream, is that you have to beat em over the head
with it. You can't expect people to use their own minds to seek out
something anymore. That's not how the masses think. Its maybe how
we think but certainly not the general population.
I feel he's trying to break into those clubs and play music
for people who doesn't have any idea what techno is. He is
opening himself up to a new market, I guess. I see it as a
challenge for him to do so.
if he wasn't so far up his own arse as to believe his
music isn't techno anymore then maybe we'd all get
this chance.
wasn't he the one who said
"techno is whatever you want it to be......"
so why is he now restricting himself to house clubs?
To you, they're house clubs....to him they're places to wreak havoc in. =)
I think we just need to remain calm and see what happens.
Peace,

off his rocker
but then as he explained himself, I gradually understood.
Frankly, I believe its up to his audience to appreciate the switcher-roo
he is contemplating and perhaps progress along with him. Those I think
are the true believers of this talent. Its unfair to carelessly lump
Jeff in the 'overrated, under skilled + massively over paid superstar dj
category, if not "tech". Looking at his career, he has worked his butt
off (ever noticed how skinny the man is?) to arrive at his current
prestige. His schedule is non-f***ing stop. In observing him at Musik,
I've come to the conclusion that this man is just amazing. A bloody
genius who has a genuine passion for the music and its progression.
So basically my friend, with all due respect...I don't know what to tell
ya. Heheh, it is what it is, eh?. We can only progress with him in the
belief that he can lead this music into a new direction or get out there
and make it ourselves. Me, I'm sticking around.
My 2 ¢,

we just heard that jeff's quitting (quit?) techno and
in future will only play house clubs with dates
this year at fabric and the god awful tribal sessions
in manchester.
he's totally blown out the uk's most important clubs
orbit, lost, slam and atomic jam after constant assurances
that he'd be touring uk this year.
if he feels the need to take his sound to another new
audience then fair play but to turn his back on what
he's best known for really beggars belief.
i for one won't be putting on me best shiny shoes and
sparkly shirt and paying £20 to see him while in the
company of a bunch of clueless fashion victims who
are probably in the club only to prance around to
some overrated, under skilled + massively overpaid
superstar "tech" dj.
after 3 years of not playing the uk due to his bollocks
immigraion excuse this is how he repays his long time
fans and followers who've spent countless money on
his records and hours queing in the rain to go hear
him spin.
i don't think i'd actually be as angry over any other dj
doing this which just shows the kind of admiration this
guy has over here and i'm sure it'll be the same for
many others.
simple reply of course is for all us to turn our back
to him and stop buying his music and going to his
club dates. it works both ways.
pure arrogance (again)
innercity.
