Dj Panik - France

This guy is making some seriously good dnb right now. A few of his newer bits arent on his myspace, but I would recommend you to check his page out reg. He did a really good rmx for BBK - The Roof Is On Fire.

Boys got skills

And yeh, I love that music too, in my car or sitting in the sun at a BBQ, or on my ipod sitting on my bed. But Panik makes very well produced dance music, up tempo and made for clubs... which really appeals to me.

Pretty close. That is a mean tl. Each to their own i guess. I just like my cheese on crackers, that is all 

That tracklist is good, but its not something I would want to go out to and listen to in a rave.

In a swanky bar, at a lower volume as background music yes... and for that it is what it is. I cant dance to anything too liquidy or anything too techy, I was brought up on hardcore raves and oldskool and I love my dance music. Maybe it is cheesy, but im a girl, I love a bit of cheese now and then... like anything though... too much of one thing is incredibly boring !

Panik isnt that, he makes extremely diverse music. You should check his new Malaga tune out, its a really lovely summer liquid roller. He also gets  his mate to play the guitar live over his tunes, so he is actually technically making some astounding music.

I just love it, I put it on and it sends shivers up my spine, I can listen to his tunes from the very beginning to the very end, and his music is well thought out and changes.

You cant really appreciate his tunes from the myspace player, its low quality and if you are listening through laptop speakers you wont be able to hear the bass.

AREA 51 is a stonking tune and give me a couple of weeks I will get Malaga into a new mix.... he really is a good upand coming producer to watch out for.

Hes only been producing 2 years as well.

When I was screaming out about Zen and Heist 2 years ago... they have blown up.

I was bigging up Erb N Dub and KG 2 years ago too... now look signed to frequency...

These boys know what they are doing trust me 

i never doubted that it was okay, i said ima watch him. trouble is in adelaide there is bugger all fun music out there because djs are playing for djs, even guys like Noddy who know better, and he decided to retire because he couldnt bring himself to play what he should infornt of his dj mates. talk about fucking impressionable.

just because djs here don't like/play it doesn't mean the floor doesn't like/want it

i totally agree about the yes its good but not at a rave, and i got so much shit for saying it at winter enchanted 07, but in the end, people who knew better admitted it. and its fucked like that in adelaide, but that's the way it is. and just because most of the people here (AM) who are passionate about it are like that, doesn't mean it's right.

Fluke I was aiming that more at asylum 

I think you should play what you want, and if you like liquid or techy dnb, play it. Dont play for anyone but yourself imo... if the crowd dont like it, educate them.
Doc scott said that once to me on Doa when I first started dj-ing and now, I get it. Its so false playing to a "crowd" if you arent feeling the tunes.

If you wanna play to a crowd, play commercial music... play chart music...  but I like Panik and his tunes, and it gets me going.

yeah i know it was aimed at asylum. i just felt like sticking up and trying to explain a little.

What, retired again?

those panik tunes are very dancefloor and definitely have their place. thing about that other track list is that they all have dancefloor capabilities also. that is what i am loving about all the new spectrasoul etc shit, it can be played at the start of the night to warm up or smashed at the end.. imo.

nah he's out of retirement i think officially, he only ever pulled one john farnham i believe. just that he has accepted the fact that he is going to be playing for the dancefloor again, not purely for the strokers.

totally agree with timboh aswell, there's always room for complete mashing of styles within a set, it's what i love to do, and it's how you put it all together that makes it what it is.

these tunes and the other setlist tunes all have their place on the dancefloor, just got to use them right to make people happy, and that's how ATM was saying that you play your tunes to people and educate them. just like if you pull out pendulum at a rave, you can pretty much play just about anything after it and guaranteed people will still listen to it.

Ah OK.  Yeah all sorts in a set keeps everything a bit more interesting.  IMO its harder to do well also, thus making a better dj.

As I said, each to their own. I guess it does take talent n skills to produce this stuff but most of it sounds the same and is a RIP off of the last clownstep tune that was thrashed. Thats just my opinion.

Personally I play a wide range of styles and yes, not necessarily what I prefer playing sometimes. But thats just how it goes when you want to play out. It is great when you get a chance to play what you are into as it brings out the best in you behind the decks but there are many out there that dont like doing it, yes

 
I used to be like you, but now I see how dissapointing it is to see people play music they dont truely love just for the sake of it.

To me, its not about following the crowd or what the crowd want. You are the Dj, and they are paying to see what you like, not what they like.

I will make a new thread on another track I dropped last night.... that went off... unexpectedly
