this is my opinion:
being popular doesnt equal sold out all the time. there are plenty of dj's/musicians who have achieved mainstream status/sucess and popularity without losing artistic integrity. if you look at the entire spectrum of edm like you would any style of music, pvd plays commercial music...user friendly, over produced, and ultimately recycled. check out his remix of marco v - i feel you and then listen to nothing but you...same drums, same song structure...IDENTICAL. for me, it is a huge deal when things aren't pushed forward because it leaves no room for progress or evolution. even the progressive genre is starting to suffer the same fate as trance nowadays...too many people making and spinning the same old music. i do agree with you on the spinning different stuff to be different...i know of many dj's and musicians who do this, and it sucks that it has to be attributed to more experimental forms of music. but i'd rather have someone trying to be different than someone trying to fit in.
and yeah, dj's are partially responsible for helping people "get off, " but pvd's method is extremely boring to me. play big name track so people get excited....5 times a nite. for me, going out to see a dj is not about my fav tunes...it's about the entire experience from start to finish, and it's way more gratifying as a dj to wow a crowd with something they have never even imagined hearing as opposed to something on their list of favs...
pvd is a great business man...his altruism is to be admired, but doesnt boost his musicianship in my opinion.
and yes, this is all my opinion...i know pvd is a fav on this board, and i didnt mean to offend anyone with my opinions on his djing/producing. my orginal intent was to validate posts made by other members that were put down for no reason...it's funny how people get pissed when you dis their fav dj, but not when members disrespect other board members.
good luck on your gig fri nite...i'll try to make it in to see what you guys are up to

I hate to keep sounding like a PvD apologist but I do feel that he does plenty to further the scene. Granted, he did keep repeating the same tracks over and over last year for some reason. Fortunately, he stopped doing that. Maybe it was because people like myself kept bashing him for it on just about every messageboard out there and word finally got around to him. Who knws. While some of the elments of a number of his productions are less than original, plenty of his work is, especially some of his older stuff. Getting back to what he does for the scene, PvD also tends to play plenty of unreleased stuff and tracks given to him by unknown producers during just about every set. Last time he was at Roxy, he dropped an Autumn remix by one of the guys on TranceAddict. Once again, because PvD tries to spin a set that will appeal to a broad audience, some tracks definitely are overplayed or sub par to many of us. Nevertheless, there are always plenty of people in the club who are either new to EDM or were simply dragged there by their friends. PvD tends to drop more accessible, commercial sounding tracks for their sake. It's not like most people in a club who are new to EDM are gonna suddenly dig techno right off the bat. PvD's sets tend to ease such newbies into it. He might start off with cheese trance, go to hard trance and then bust out the techno. The guy's one of the most versatile DJs I've ever heard.

robbie.....awesome posts. you make a lot of great points 
ive seen a few djs use final scratch and ive been very disappointed with it overall. the mixes are quick and lifeless and the sets are not getting any more eclectic because the dj has access to tons of music. i dont have higher expectations because they are using final scratch. but their mixing is noticebly boring, especially compared to what it would be like if they were using wax/cd.

i bash pvd and really do not like his djing...although i like him and respect him as a producer...and since i have decided this, i refuse to go to a pvd show no matter how many of my friends are there, even tho they are usually 18+ and nothing is "holding me back"

I really dont believe in a sentiment such as "doing things for the scene" I believe, in order for a true artist to survive, he has to be able to out-do himself from the time before. I'm not saying you have to be different just for the sake of being different. Just imagine eating soft tacos for months straight at Taco Bell (knowing thats all they ever provided, but you get my drift). But I guess it's all a matter of perspective. I also don't think an artist should be obligated to downgrade his music to "crappy" mode in order to satisfy the hurd of newcomers. I think it's more of a listeners responsibility to be intelligent enough to realize what sounds good or bad. We shouldn't be spoon feeding every numbnut in the world. Unless, money & greed is the #1 priority, then I lose all the respect for you.

Wouldn't a set become more eclectic due to the number of songs you have at your disposal? I really haven't noticed a difference in mixing because of Final Scratch, but maybe I haven't been paying attention. But from what I've read, most DJ's say you can do more with it.
As far as the whole PVD thing goes. I still feel the need to disagree, and agree. He has recycled elements of songs in the past - I Feel You, Nothing But You & Guide Me God all have the same bass line. He remixes tons of songs - but most aren't even released - so I don't think it's an issue of money - it may just be personal preference. Look at a play list from his gigs and a good portion of what he plays are re-works and remixes, and few are ever released. I think a lot of it has to do with him wanting songs to sound a certain way, his way. Take Reflections, I was a bit dissapointed with it, but it was nothing like anything he had done in the past - one song is almost straight up hip-hop. I still think a lot of people bash him, because they resent his popularity. Just my opinion.

Just because someone did something for the scene doesn't mean they don't suck as a DJ.

Bottom line for me is this: DJing is not an olympic event meant to be judged. I couldn't really care less about someone's technical merits or whether or not the DJ is doing anything for the scene. What I care about first and foremost is whether or not I have fun at the party. I've never had a bad time at a PvD event. The vibe is about as close to what Twilo used to be as it gets around here these days. It doesn't matter to me whether he's pushing the envelope or not. I don't always go to a club to sit there with my arms crossed and receive a musical education. I go to dance and hang out with my friends.

ok...i've stayed out of this for awhile, but i'm getting upset again.
first of all, this thread was originally just gonna be titled attn: sara nifo, then i decided to send it to all the danny girls because i thought they'd all like 1) seeing a pic of a dj they love 2) knowing that he spun records at tronic.
i'm insulted by the fact that people decided to turn it into a war between styles that somehow involved pvd (who i also love) and slandered his work and ability. so, give me a break with the sticking up for who or what bs because they had no business turning this into a drama fest in the first place.
that said, pvd is a very talented dj for all the reasons mentioned above and i feel so blase about even defending him because i don't take any criticism of him really seriously. i don't know how anybody can. "he plays the same stuff" ever heard of having a defined sound? auteurship of your work as an artist...the fucking guy is so good that a hundred others have tried to copy his style over the years. not breaking boundaries, playing the same stuff: i've watched him spin breaks, acid house, house, prog house, techno, hard house, everything under the sun. maybe YOU think all his productions sound the same...but maybe your ear isn't trained enough to recognize the subleties employed in his productions that make them so great...the hooks, the timing, variety of beats within the same structure. i'm not sure if you know anything about mixing audio or pro tools, but i can definetly tell you that his productions aren't cookie cutter.
pvd has a defined sound, battle tested throughout the years to bring smiles and cheers the world round and he uses these weapons as his bread and butter in his sets and productions. so what! but if you think that's all he does or can do,  maybe you should have been at central park two weeks ago or maybe you just aren't listening at all. a major sin in my book if you wanna pontificate on his talent. this is a public message board, but this is a music forum, if you've got opinions, back them and back them well or go play in general topics.

more money and less work seems like a fantastic idea!
i wish i knew how to do that with my profession

this place is awesome! it's great here - everything is green and tropical-ish and it smells nice too. lol, and matt and i are still trying to figure out why it's called "HotLanta" - we don't really think it that much hotter here than up there, and we've heard a lot of people here call it hotlanta - weird!
my man is at work, poor fellow! and his cell phone is possessed - it's making a bunch of calls on it own

my loyalty lies with howells, as you all should know. when people start bashing him for being a drunk or a crackhead, i get defensive, as pvd fans get defensive when i bring up that he plays many of his own productions during his sets when he /does/ have so many tracks on his laptop and flawless final scratching.

Absofuckinglutely. This doesn't even have to do with dj bashing. It's more MUSIC bashing. (I do it absent-mindedly sometimes too.) And I do love Howells. But at the same time, I've learned it's stupid to care if someone says he sucks. He sucks? Great. Whatever.
The thing that bothers me is how people turn music into work, and rules and bullshit instead of enjoying it. It's a creative expression? Ok good, then let that shit flow instead of worrying about how to make it "new" and "revolutionary." Chances are that if you're trying to "push things forward", it's not gonna happen. But if you're doing what you love in a way that makes you happy, you'll probably stand a better chance at creating something awesome.

pvd has a defined sound, battle tested throughout the years to bring smiles and cheers the world round and he uses these weapons as his bread and butter in his sets and productions. so what! but if you think that's all he does or can do, maybe you should have been at central park two weeks ago or maybe you just aren't listening at all. a major sin in my book if you wanna pontificate on his talent. this is a public message board, but this is a music forum, if you've got opinions, back them and back them well or go play in general topics. | |
i am a recording engineer...so i'm pretty sure my opinion on his production work is valid...sorry to burst your bubble.
i am not gonna get into a pissing match with you...i stated my opinion, backed it up, and that's that. sorry if i wont conform to your liking.
and i'll post wherever i like...thanks

sorry dude, that last post wasn't just directed at you. if it was, i would have quoted ya. rob, i'm sick of this also...the whole thing has just fed itself to the point of explosion (ruben~no monty python jokes here) and we should just agree to disagree. we all love music and this is just our passion spilling over....we're both A type personalities obviously and its clashing behind a computer screen and that's all....part of the reason that nobody else is really stressing here is because we are all friends with common values and that's why we are here. in fact, many of us have known each other for many years and are a little musical family that loves each other but has their differences, and we always sit down to dinner together in the end. many of us even met through a mutual love of pvd or howells, making this even more silly. so, it is water under the bridge...i look forward to pounding some beers with ya, i'm a much different cat when ya know me.....G

i would think so too.
the point i was trying to make was that you would think the sets would be more eclectic because djs have the ability to select from thousands of tracks. also you would think the mixing would be more imaganitive vs vinyl. but ive found neither to be the case. the sets ive heard were just as predictable programming wise and the mixing less creative than with vinyl. the mixing has been very short and its basicly one song running into the next with very little mixing involved at all. its more like a smooth transition from one song to the next.
