Only my opinion - Oldfellah - 30-12-2021
I had a look on youtube at what DJ Dimension does and to be honest I dont think their is any talent to what he does at all, he is not playing an instrument just a mixing machine.
To me it seems like he has mixed sounds together on a computer (even I can do that) and plays these sounds at a gig with synchronized lights.
No talent at all but as I say thats just my opinion, feel free to agree or disagree with me.

We are biased. We know what real music is.
RE: Only my opinion - crafters_corner - 30-12-2021
I'm more concerned that he broke the rules, than about the music he plays.
Sorry after the fact, means nothing.

I don't care what kind of music he performs. He could be the world's finest Operatic tenor and I would still hate him for his selfishness, arrogance and mendaciousness.

No point in hating this damned fool. Save it for important stuff.

I quite like it, but then I like quite a bit of techno (or whatever its called - I often have no idea what genre I'm listening to) although I prefer Underworld, Boris Brechja or Sama Abdulhadi.
But then apparently I have 'weird taste' in music.
I think that once you hit 60-70, you're supposed to start listening to Charlie Pride, but I've heard Charlie Pride so that was never going to happen.

Yes I would say you have very weird tastes in music and as for Charlie Pride I never listed to him when he was popular and certainly dont intend to start now.
In fact I never listen to Country or Country and western rubbish.

I listen to a few diverse genres and Spotify has great fun creating playlists for me. Renaissance polyphony, Ry Cooder, Peter Tosh and Nick Cave do not form a comfortable family and I get some really bizarre suggestions.
RE: Only my opinion - Lilith7 - 31-12-2021
I like Ry Cooder; he's a really interesting musician. He did Talking Timbuktu an album with an African musician who's since died, Ali Farka Toure which I really like, & often listen to. He also did the music for the Crossroads movie.
Not so keen on Nick Cave though.
RE: Only my opinion - Oldfellah - 31-12-2021
So whats wrong with AC/DC ,The Rolling Stones ,The Who ,Led Zeppelin ,Fleetwood Mac and all those great musicians ... thats real music

There's a song included with the article, Morning blues which Ry Cooder used to play to his son & now plays to his grandkids; the version is Joachim Cooder.

No such thing as real music, it is all just music. Now with these DJs, there is quite a bit of live mixing going on. They will creating songs in the past using a whole bunch of instruments and mix them together. Maybe it isn't practical to take everything on stage at once, who knows?

If we were a mature species we wouldn't elect them, we'd give them counselling.
RE: Only my opinion - Oldfellah - 02-01-2022
It would be no good giving politicians counseling because we all know they wont listen
RE: Only my opinion - Lilith7 - 02-01-2022
Perhaps then we need to develop them - "we haf vays of making them listen"
