Why Ex-Galaxy FM DJ's shouldn't judge DJ Competitions

Why Ex-Galaxy FM DJ's shouldn't judge DJ Competitions

Got drawn in the first round of the AK Leisure competition in consett, against Ian Cox (tribal house), Ste Collins (deep) and Steven Boyle (trance) at the braes on tuesday.

Cox plays a good set but people don't like his music.

Collins plays a good set, had me shitting it because I thought he was much better than me.

I play vocal house, starting slow, buildin it up and have people dancing round the bar, I come off and the manager reckons i've won it hands down, as no-one else managed to engage the crowd and i was the only person to mix out of someone else's set

The last lad comes on and plays his tracks all in the wrong order, so that there's no build-up to his final track, and he goes all over the place. His mixing was appalling. Sounds worse than Dave Clarke (the consett version of him anyway )

Worst bit is that he was playing old tunes (liquid child, delerium, jds, etc) and he was playing the longest, most boring mixes of them he could find.

Guess who wins out of the above?

jesus this girl is shit hot

drink for ruth please, over here

the most puzzling bit is that the other three of us have played live venues for the last two or three years on a regular basis, the winner of the round had only played one night at trades

would have won it if I was on next week because kareem is meant to be judging it

ste took it more personally, his exact words being "that was a farce, it was between me and you and he knows it"

not really because I didn't lose because I was shite... I put in a good show and everyone else thought it was a farce as well

maybe the judge just thought boyle was sexy and wanted to shag him

aye

does make sense like, too good for consett

I got a standing ovation for my last tune like

this was my first one, I only entered it because most of my deck-playing mates had done so, and I thought it would be a laugh to take part

tracklist is up here

sounds about right - he's got blonde hair if it's the same bloke.

he dropped the tiesto mix of silence - not a bright thing to do when you've only got 45 minutes to show what you can do and that track is just short of 12 minutes long

aye thats the one

got nowt against the lad, i know from experience how hard it is to learn to dj, but on the night he didn't do his best and certainly shouldn't have gone through given the quality of the other sets

maybe he should have played this

well, this is where we get to the best bit

the guy judging it used to do galaxy roadshows, before he got booted. He now plays somewhere in bishop auckland, and likes nothing more than flip n fill style shitty trance, and despises house in all forms.

Boyle won because he played trance, even if it wasn't the stuff that the judge plays or enjoys on a regular basis.

Conclusion: galaxy dj's (the majority of) are too narrow minded to listen to anything but the new kelly llorena track
