silver_edge let me tell you a thing...electronic music is not popular anymore, it does not attract a high quality crowd and let's face it it's on a downward spiral for quite a few time. You have a lot of very highly qualified DJs who make a living out of events and cannot stop taking bookings just because they do not like the crowd they will be playing for. C-Rouge is a professional producer who needs to keep a certain cash-flow to finance his upcoming projects and unfortunately nowadays only a specific crowd is asking for trance and whether we like it or not the vast majority is those emos or other weird names and weird-looking people. C-Rouge is just an example, guys like Nino and Undertaker are almost full-time DJs and rely on it, they cannot stop playing just because the crowd doesn't appeal to them. So I'm sure that as far as they are concerned, the only thing they can do is play quality music and deliver solid sets, basically do what they do best and try to educate the masses and show them the quality sounds out there. Guys like Dion, me or many others are students or full-time consultants (or anything for a fact
), so we can say no to some of the bookings because simply DJing is not a full-time job or first priority.
So instead of criticizing these guys I suggest we thank them for at least trying to play their part and criticize the real idiots out there that we talk so much about.
