I don't think Rick is really out of line with many other DJs from
across the spectrum.
He's summed up how many DJs feel.
Also there is the hideous spectre of 'Facebook clubbing' here in Oz
where people seem to go out only to spend time on their phones and
posting pics.

it's not a surprise to me, since he calls things as he sees them, and
that approach is bound to get at least a few negative responses from
the forum responses on ra.

I think that people should produce music how they want to produce, and
be judged on the results. I think if you stand where Rick Wilhite
stands, you'd be justifiably skeptical of digital DJs. I can disagree
with him and still have mad respect for him.

I disagree as well, and I'm hoping one day I can tell him in person!
But he's still a very skilled and talented producer and an excellent DJ to
boot. To me that far out-wei

So why worry about it and why make it your reason for being?

It's not my raison d'être and I doubt it is Rick's. And it's a side
issue to what I was talking about.

I disagree with most of what Wilhite says about working digital, but
I have to say he knows how to make a party deep.
It is always the case that people with venal motivations can parlay a
small amount of talent and a ruthless instinct for self-promotion into
a career. They can appeal to an audie

If my dad DJed like Rick Wilhite I might actually pay attention to
what he said... ;)
I think Wilhite is right in many ways about the stupidity of the
electronic music business as a whole, but hasn't that always been the
case ever since music became a commodity? Ask Franz Schubert or
Charlie Park
afaik, mills started as a drummer when he was still in high school.
whether he already dj'ed around that time, i don't know.

You are right, I jumped from my feeling of Mills as having a very

a mental philosophy, at least as I see it. Mills obvious first public

And this is why I really like Jeff Mills. Frankly, I know very few
electronic music people who look at things as producers. They become
producers after djing, which to me isn't musical, it's beat making.

I think he is a dad, FWIW.
Anyway, I thought he just sounded forthright and a little opinionated.
Nothing wrong with that. He makes a lot of sense to me.
