EVENTS
MARCH 26-27
Ok here I am just got back from the Beatport Pool Party. It's day two of WMC 09' and today has been the best day for me and my wife so far. Thursday wasn't bad but the line up didn't do it for me as much as todays. I did attend a Q&A on Thursday with Morgan Page & Stryke a.k.a. Greg, that was realy cool! I learned allot and it was good to experience something other than just the parties. Ok so back to Friday I must say today was pure house with the likes of ATFC, Dennis Ferrer, Little Louie Vega, Sneak & Laid Back Luke. So far the hottest WMC 09' hit is "Michel Cleis - La Mezcla" So hot Dennis and Louie both droppedit in their set. But the best was DJSneak answer to that when he played "Todd Terry: Gypsymen - Barbarabatiri" this took me back to my early days of spinning vinyl WOW! what a great timeless track to drop. Well I'm off to sleep still have two more long and intense days of sun & music.
MARCH 28-29
In light of what I have just read Re: The dispute between Steve Angello and Paris Hilton (Beatport is the source). I have decided to title this part of my WMC09' diary "Do I Look Like A Fucking Jukebox To You?"
Ok so first let me comment on Saturday. It was a beautiful day @ The Beatport Pool Party the line up was strong and full of good Dj's like Dj Hell, Radio Slave, Josh Wink, Steve Lawler, Marco Carola & Adam Beyer. In my opinion I enjoyed Friday's line up better. But it was really cool seeing and getting to meet Dj's like Stryke, John B, Roger Sanchez, Scumfrog, Steve Angello & Richie Hawtin.
Now back to the gossip @ WMC09'
"The princess of bottle service culture herself, Ms. famous-for-no-particular-reason, Miss Paris Hilton, was publicly humiliated by Swedish house mafia man Steve Angello in move that will leave DJs around the world cheering his name till the end of time.
The LA-based diva turned up at the 1OAK party at Angello’s showcase at WMC on Thursday night/Friday morning, and found his music “was not even danceable and was frankly giving me a migraine.”
The LA-based diva turned up at the 1OAK party at Angello’s showcase at WMC on Thursday night/Friday morning, and found his music “was not even danceable and was frankly giving me a migraine.”
Hilton asked one of her friends who runs the hotel to change the music and the manager said between emphatic kisses of her ass, “I’ll lead you up to the DJ booth and he’ll play whatever you want.”
The age old battle between ignorant, over-privileged wannabes, and DJs trying to do their best, just went front and centre. Brilliant.
Angello claims Hilton repeatedly asked him to play hip hop. Hilton claims she only asked him to play Bob Sinclar or Daft Punk.
But whatever went down, it led to a big fight. Hilton’s friend Doug Reinhardt and her entourage got a kicking for apparently slapping Steve Angello.
Angello on his Twitter said: “for someone who claims to make records...dont come into a booth and ask me to play hip hop and then have your doorman slap me. or at least if you wanna do that.....dont moan about it when we all kicked off. dont be so fucking rude.”
Hilton’s response on her Myspace blog portrays her ignorance and self-importance in the ugly light of day.
“The DJ (I don’t even know his name cause he sucks so bad) was playing the worst music ever!,” she says. “I think he was jealous cause Bob Sinclair is a far better DJ then this guy by about a million times.
“He was so unbelievably rude and all because I asked to play one good song. Then out of nowhere his bodyguard (don’t ask me why he has a bodyguard, like he really needs one. Ha) pushed me really hard, that’s when my boyfriend, like my knight in shining armor, stepped in and told the guy to keep his hands off of me. Then all hell broke loose, it was like something out of a fight movie, it was so frightening.”
Whatever the truth, the fact is Hilton thought her fame granted her the right to use Steve Angello as her monkey DJ for the night.
How many times have us DJs been requested to play terrible records by clueless self-serving wannabes who want nothing more than to bask in their own glory?
Steve Angello just stood up for himself and his music. He went head-to-head with the biggest celebrity in the world and won. DJs around the world should rejoice."
After having read this my view of PH has changed. Now I really dislike her. Not that I ever really cared to much for her because she's a self-proclaimed famous person but I'm glad someone stood up to her. She probably was jealous of WMC because she was surrounded by people who don't give a shit about her and have more talent than she ever will. God know's how many times she's pulled that shit with other Dj's. Finally we can all look up to Steve Angello who by the way doesn't need PH to give him a popularity boost and say "Do I Look Like A Fucking Jukebox?".
Ok so let's get back to something more serious. The Dj's for Sunday closing party @ Beatport where amazing. I saw Olivier Giacomotto, Robbie Rivera, Sebastian Ingrosso & Steve Angello. Only one short of the SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA Angello & Ingrosso ripped the pool party a new asshole..lol. Much like Laidback Luke they both played an incredible set with their own mixes and mash-ups. Also It was too funny to not mention Steve Angello has an "I Love Paris" shirt...LMFAO!!!!
In closing I felt this year was more about the parties and less about the music. With that in mind I still look foward to next year.
So there it is my WMC09' experience.
