I never thought Fergie would ever play shindig. Seen him a few times and has been quite good Dont know what sorta stuff he plays now? Get Carl Cox booked
well im only fishing about as his agent as been in touch a few times and hes really trying to re invent him self and i know he has been playing tech house / techno and house for a while now. we are not defo booking him im just curious to know if people are taking to his new style. been trying to get carl cox back for ages but hes just never in the country much any more
Scott Most the people one here are judging him from sets played around 2004. Most of the times i've heard him play were around then. I've seen him good twice and bad once, but I'd advise you hear a recent mix by him recorded live to pass judgement. I was about to say 'not necessarily a booking i'd expect at Shindig' but if he's playing Tech House etc now then maybe he is re-invneting himself a little? After all he used to play hard house years ago. I'll see if I can get a 2006 mix and i'll drop you an email.
I'd definately go to see him if he played, i personally think he gets more stick because of his backround and the fact he's always put on the wrong bill and booked for trance events still, he'd definately be able to hold his own at a house/techno night imo.
He was shite at the last arena event. Loads of ten minute breakdowns with ear bleeding FX noises then a proper lifeless loop would drone on for a few minutes. I whitey'd about four times in a row during his set and that's usually a good indicator of how shit the techy nonsense was for me. He was good at promise though.
He gets stick because he is shit. A bandwagon jumper would get very little interest from real techno heads imo. Put on some one with a bit more class like underground resistance or Michael mayer.
when was the last time you seen fergie play? i've seen him play cracking sets before. How can you say he's a bandwagon jumper, he played hard house for years then moved on to techno, how much has your playing style changed over the years, dj's get sick of one style of music so move on.
and this bit doesn't really matter, because he played promise twice and both times it was busy, so maybe you wouldn't get techno purists, but there will probably be a decent crowd.
techno scares me, its horrible, surely its not right for shindig, however i'm sure he could pull a crowd so you would probs make money off it.
Ive always thought he was good but at global last year Ive never ever seen so many people leave one tent in my life. He got a really bad reputation after that and Ive only heard bad things...I didn't realise hes apparently got better recently!
I have never heard fargie play a marco v tune and i have never heard marco v play anything other than marco v tunes
