In fairness to Jamie he had a reasonably good early run, but well over-did it last year, seemed to play everywhere going, ran out of tricks and passion and just burned out his own flame (imo). Seth did a similar thing - from what I saw of him.
Lee Foss's style is nothing like Jamie's really, is it ? What I've heard of him includes 'accessible' house (i.e. enough vocals and booty wigglers to please a certain set of a certain age - who have enough free time and money to go out regularly).
I wouldn't call either of their styles particularly 'underground' - perhaps Jamie's more than Lee's. But I haven't seen either regularly so it's hard to generalize. Both have rather 'naughty boy' images .... and I think that's helped their popularity as much as their performance behind the decks
...
The club and the crowd are equally if not far more important than which DJ is playing... in my book anyhow. For example, got a lot of time for Sasha's music but at Fabric at peak time in a room that resembles a tube in Rush Hour full of 'flat' people generating very little atmosphere, playing a warm-up set at 4am ... I'd rather be home in my bed. Ta very much !!
You just gotta love the Chavs sometimes

How about this for pacha http://youtu.be/lmEhCDRvQKA
I wanted to turn that off as soon as the noise started but for some reason I couldn't look away
I agree with Sophie TBH, I thought I knew the scene well though, but this thread has shocked me, all the Jamie Jones hate, I am suprised
Not my cup of cha tbh, it's more of a Scratch Mixer with elements of Dubstep. That's harder than it looks too.

You might want to read the thread back because nobody in this thread has said they hate Jamie Jones. Just that some of us rate lots of other DJ's higher. That is not hate thats just preference.

Admittedly I used to see this a lot but it died a death recently. I haven't been to a trance event and seen fluffy boots, cyber gear and glow sticks in ages. I think it's only hard dance and hardcore clinging onto that.
Agree about Tiesto though. He's groomed this 'stadium'/'big stage' persona over the last 3 or 4 years which is why Privilege suited him perfectly. Maybe his move towards house and electro means he has to tone things down a bit and cultivate a new image. Or maybe it's purely dollar signs.
In Ibiza each club does tend to suit a certain type of music in a way. Amnesia is definitely the best place for trance hence why Cream has never budged. I suppose the clubs have to work overtime on dressing the club to suit the names on the roster.
Yeah didn't mean it like it came out mate... I meant hate as is the slang term hate not as it should be used sorry though. 8)
I'll just go and check urban dictionary and come back with my response .........
I've not been to a trance night in about 14 years hence my mistake lol but I think you get my point
I quite liked all the cyber thing when it first came out, I never dabbled in it myself but it was a nice little statement for people. Then after a while when those people are getting older and still wearing the weird, coloured spikey (and now thinning)hair and it's been going on for a couple of years you begin to realise it's not very good after all

What's unusual about those DJs playing Pacha? They are all big name popular DJs (ticket sellers)
I cringe whenever I see a pic or video of luciano now. Can't believe he was my favourite DJ a few years ago, as soon as he started his own night he morphed into this pretentious Cristal drinking superstar DJ ***** playing 80's pop music...
Like a 20 car pile-up on the motorway, you just can't help but look at the carnage (!)

Couldnt agree more.
Becoming a headliner week in week out destroys a DJ's music production.
Once they are being paid ridiculous funds every week to DJ - their production values go in the toilet.
ie. Sweedish House, Jamie Jones, etc

Imagine how good he is/is not at foreplay?

But still there are some exceptions i guess, aka Guetta
I think it was the Pete Tong night which was responsible for this. He saw another side of the coin
