Re: why is it so hard to see dj three

I saw Three in DC 2 weeks ago at a hole in the wall red, track of the night was Free-Terry Francis. he crushed it that night. Anyone who saw his SSFG in NYC at rebel when he closed for 20 people at 10am was out of control. Opened with Black Strobe- I am A man. The 20 people included Mr C Martin Lanksky and several industry heads. Great DJ

I think you need to read the rest of the thread

Hate to bear this news to you, but you don't know what DJ Three looks like then & missed him. That wasn't DJ Three last night that played for 30 minutes before Cio D'or took over the decks last night. Cio D'or played until around 3:30 and then Three took over. Three played from 3:30ish till later.

Re: why is it so hard to see dj three

@ Steve Graham Personal insults say more about you than me

"Dancefloor friendly" = playing it safe = not three. That's not to say he doesn't slay dancefloors tho. I hate that term, "dancefloor friendly." Have some STYLE ffs.

Three is a djs dj. What is becoming a rarity these days- he has incredible range. It's always been refreshing to me to hear him play because he actually has a style, and he's always stayed true to it, unlike sooo many followers these days. Dude is one of my favorite djs. We brought him in a couple of years ago for Alphahouse, and we've got a reputation for being an underground afterhours style party, and he came in and absolutely floored the place- keeping in mind what we do, but playing multiple genres and making it all work. If you haven't heard him afterhours style, then you haven't really heard him at his best. I'd book him again in a heartbeat...actually, i think i'll get on that.

I agree wholehearted with all of that !!! But it actually reinforces what I said originally , he plays for himself rather than the punters. Which is all well and good for his loyal bunch of chinstrokers, but tends to alienate people, like myself, who quite possibly would like to learn more but are made to feel we are not worthy.

To be honest because it was obvious that he felt he was playing down to us on the "Dancefloor Friendly night. I didn't enjoy that as much as I could have.

He may be a Dj's Dj but it's not the Dj.s who are buying the tickets. It is more than just possible to be all the things he is and still be dancefloor friendly. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that term, unless you are a chinstroker of course.

Btw Before someone jumps on me, I don't consider chinstroker a derogatory term! In fact I love having people who can actually tell me what track is playing and some of the intricacies of the music. And thanks Jenks for reminding about his style, which is why I went to see him three times in the one weekend.

Think he should have used the sarcasm emoticon

Re: why is it so hard to see dj three

i don't see him as someone who is like that, to me he has a very distinctive sound! very psychedelic, which seems to describe the type of guy he is. i'll take a dj who plays their sound any day over one who feels the need to cater to a crowd. afterall, the crowd isn't made up of one collective mind. different strokes for different folks!

Re: why is it so hard to see dj three

You can be both, in fact in an ideal world that should be the aim!!

It had to happen I suppose , but I'm going to use Hernan as an example. He has definitely stayed true to himself. But he really cares that he is taking us with him !! He shows that is perfectly possible.

oh come on, what do you need your hand held at the club? nobody is making you feel like you're not worthy, what is this second grade? like what you like, don't like what you don't, nobody is making you feel like you're not worthy. that's on you. you want to learn? listen and get into it, if you don't dig it, go find what makes you groove. nobody is going to hold your hand and make it all fuzzy and warm.

To be honest because it was obvious that he felt he was playing down to us on the "Dancefloor Friendly night. I didn't enjoy that as much as I could have.

i don't intend this statement to be rude: but seriously, you can leave right? why should he tailor his style so it fits what you want? it's obvious a lot of people think what he does is incredible, because he's booked all over the place and packs clubs and afterhours to tons of nodding heads and gets paid well to do it. he's not playing down to you, you just don't like his style. that's on you. there are a lot of djs i won't go see because it's not for me. but i'm not going to go see them and pout and then call their crowd chin strokers for not accepting my vision of music (well i used to, lol, but i've grown up since then) hey, there's a crowd and a style out there for everyone.

He may be a Dj's Dj but it's not the Dj.s who are buying the tickets.

actually you'd be surprised. lol. but yeah, maybe, but he's booked for his style. again. and people go to see him for that style. lots of people. if it's not meeting your expectations, leave. but no need to call the people who do like it and enjoy it chin strokers on your way out because you're not getting it. what a fucking highschool concept.

It is more than just possible to be all the things he is and still be dancefloor friendly. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that term, unless you are a chinstroker of course.

see above.

have a nice day.

Anyone has a DJ Three set, preferably from 2010 or late 2009... tried to search for it, but it didn't work

Elitist wankerism of the highest order !! Well it was fun seeing you stroke each others egos.

Btw Before someone jumps on me, I don't consider chinstroker a derogatory term! In fact I love having people who can actually tell me what track is playing and some of the intricacies of the music.

Well I guess this didn't work

personal insult? because I jokingly called you a Diva?

And I jokingly answered

That is actually funny , people bring me water because they are worried about me overdoing it, and because they are nice people.

Isn't it weird how just about everyone ignored the positive things I said here. You want to keep your little cliques, you want to be able to say how "underground" you are. For me the joy in music is most definitely sharing and that means sharing opinions, and knowledge, as well as music, and being open to other peoples opinions as well.


Jenks ,sorry but most of that last post of yours was pretty ridiculous. The whole point of what I said was that I have choice. You have all reinforced what I said initially, the major difference is that you saw it in a far worse light than I did. I didn't say there was anything particularly wrong with playing for himself. As was pointed out I don't have to stay. But I was definitely open to hearing/learning more which is why I kept going to see him.
