I have been thinking about this for a while. Many nights seem to have the same DJ's on and up & coming DJ's don't always seem to get a chance.

Who would you say are the most over rated DJ's in Sheffield?

Kirky:thumbsup:

crikey.... the dj arguement again!!!! (im guessing your struggling to get a gig ron)

i think you have all the answers here ron, who do you think is over-rated....and how exactly do you rate them?

I left the sheffield circuit a couple of years ago, when i used to turn up at gigs and find that all the dj'd had the same records in their bags..... i agree there is some **** out there..... but there is some talent too

Ron..... blah blah

Surely with a name like Ron Size you can get gigs anywhere... Or has the bottom fallen out of the soulful D&B market since you won the Mercury prize??

Or are you not a small bloke from Bristol who used to have dreads & play ace breaks?

Not even going to comment - im sure the dj's on here (myself included) would rather let our work speak for itself.

However Ronsize, if you are looking for gigs, im sure there are some of us that would be happy to put some work your way - assuming that you are a dj and are any good (we would want to see you at work to make sure)

Silly season is now upon us and im turning down jobs left right and centre...if only I was a clone :D

This was more of a post to see if my thoughts were the same as others.

I'm not after gigs, i used to DJ but gave up about 2 years ago coz I lost interest (and I wasn't good enough!).

All I notice is that some of the house nights I go to tend to have the same people playing at them. There seems to be a lot of a#se kissing that go's on and in my opinion a lot of new talent never seems to get a chance. Maybe thats the way things are done on the circuit?

I seem to have touched a raw nerve with a few people? Don't know why? It was a fair question in my opinion?

think you've just answered your own question...: house djs are the most overated in Sheffield or anywhere. I think a monkey could be taught to mix two tunes with a 4/4 beat

I use a computer to mix my tracks! Far, far easier. :)

Must get one of those laptops.....DJ Shadowman claims 70,000 tracks on his system....that surely must be the THE definitive collection for a DJ in Sheffield. Can anyone top that?

your not wrong!
felt in the need to RAWK the other night and had recently acquired the Paranoid EP and the first Led Zep LP I think it is on vinyl...did a mix with Paranoid into Good times, Bad times then back across to War Pigs and then Epic by Faith No More...!
It took a good few takes to get that sound right I can tell you!

def deejayone that guy thinks hes the next fat boy slim if is head got any bigger he woule fall over !:clap:

Classic Rock has a damn sight more than I do.
I would take a wild guess at least double what I have....

I have seen her collection and its like browsing HMV :D

Most of that is rock. DJ Shadowman's collection is a huge mix up, I mean mixture. :)

Oh and they were burned by accident, what a damn shame. I'll happily provide you with some copies, you will of course have to listen to each track individually to let me know if you like them and if they're suitable for your shows. :)
