Baby Anne, whats the beef?

[djnumb]

Why does everyone on this message board hate Baby Anne? It seem more personal, than her skills. I think she is a great DJ, and her track selection is bomb nowadays. I would luv to see her throw down in Baltimore or DC soon!!

[betseyxox]

She's going to be in Raleigh this Friday. I'll be there. Hopefully she'll be better than the last time I saw her.

[Chef Roy R Dee]

I've never been dissapointed by her or Icey.

Icey's my fav! And Baby Anne is the shit!

[Taishou]

meh

[neuroticinsight]

they hate on her because, well she sucks haha

[Chef Roy R Dee]

they hate on her because, well she sucks haha
I guess I might have a different opinion if I saw her live.
I think that her cd's are pretty good though.

[beth]

i met her once and she was pretty snobby. i still like her music a lot though.

[empath]

what the fuck... the attitude in this thread is totally unneccessary.

Don't trash talk Djs here. Everyone has different taste.

And we don't need to hear any fucking gossip about them, so knock it off..

Agreed.

Why is it that 99.9% of people claim that the Dj THEY met always seems to be snobby or stuck up? I have yet to meet a Snobby Dj. Just because people don't know you and don't respond to you doesn't mean they are snobby/stuck up or whatever.

Half the Djs I hear people bitch about are people that I either know or have met and its stupid to hear these worthless rants.

[sassypance]

i've met sasha, jimmy van m, carl cox, aphrodite, madam zu, among many other dj's and none of them were ever snobby.... i mean oakenfold was pompous but he wasn't a total asshole.... :shrug:

[Chef Roy R Dee]

One of the best time's that I have ever had was when I met and hung out with On-E and Dimitri from Deee-Lite at Rise back in 95! And back then, Deee-Lite was, and had Superstar status in the scene. They were two of the nicest, coolest people that I have ever met.
Love me some Deee-Lite!

[empath]

i've noticed that most djs are really pretty shy, and what comes off as snobbishness is really just uncomfortableness..

yeah ok. there are plenty of DJs that i have met and have MUCH respect for because they are cool in person. i met babyanne, and yeah, she came off pretty snobby IMO. i dont hold it against her, maybe she's completely different around people she actually knows. i still have respect for her as a musician and i still buy her CDs because i like her music.

I wouldn't really pay money to go see her myself. Not really a big fan, don't really feel her tunes she plays, and her mixing style is rather bland to me.

LMAO.

[candypink]

as far as meeting djs i def. have more respect for ones that go out of their way to appreciate their fans and are nice, and i will be much more likely to support them in the future. i've really never encountered a dj that was rude or snobby to me. anyway i like babyanne. i've never met her but i like her music, although i do find her to be inconsistent live but hey we all have off days.

[KiKiXOXO]

The first time I saw Baby Anne was at the Tunnel - she played after Richard Humpty Vission - and cleared the dance floor. Everybody had been going nuts for Humpty Vission & she killed the mood. I hated her for a while & then she came back to the Tunnel & ROCKED it! I had to change my opinion - maybe she got better.

[Mark Forrest]

i hate djs... i met that mark forrest guy and he was an belligerent drunk... whats up wit that...
na but really baby anne is a solid dj... she has good crowd control and can get people very pumped.. but she seems to be a linear dj.. which works well for her... mf

[sassypance]

dude that mark forrest guy i'm telling you... he SUCKS. i've never met a more pompous asshole of a dj before.... the guy totally has a chip on his shoulder and omg, his dancing... pshaw! a one legged man could move better on the dancefloor than he ever could! :neener:

[Modern Breaks]

baby anne is cool. she was just in b-more in september and we've had her up quite a few times in the past. alot of dj's may come off kind of weird sometimes, but keep in mind, alot of them are traveling all the time and sleep deprived or just beat.

[DeAtHmOnGeR bEaR]

I like Baby Anne :shrug:

[beth]

speaking of which, i want my cd back lauren!

[djnumb]

Well it's good to see more positive statements about Baby Anne then recently. When I saw her at Ultra Music Festival in March, she tore it up. Then I got the Live in Las Vegas CD which is just incredible. I hope to see her at Sonar or Nation very soon.

[DeAtHmOnGeR bEaR]

speaking of which, i want my cd back lauren!

Somehow I knew that was coming :delirious:

It's here at the office! I don't want to bring it to the club on Friday, so if I don't see you between now and the meeting Sat you can snatch it back then!!!

because florida breaks = :nixo:

[djnumb]

If you hate Breaks why do you read this forum? I don't go hating in the trance forum.

[Chef Roy R Dee]

I love all breaks!

Hardcore, trancy, dark, old skool, nu skool, and some Deep-ass, Bass-hittin, Booty-shakin Florida Breaks!!!

[cleophite]

If you hate Breaks why do you read this forum? I don't go hating in the trance forum. he just means florida breaks. its just an opinion, albeit not expressed with 100% respect, but its all good :wink:

[maynard]

If you hate Breaks why do you read this forum? I don't go hating in the trance forum.

i'm not hating on breaks, dude. i like breaks. but florida breaks blow goats.

[djnumb]

Really. I kinda consider her 2 most recent CDs to be Nu-skool. In fact that Vegas CD has 3 tracks I've heard Freeland drop. And if someone doesn't have love for Freeland, then they don't know breaks.

[maynard]

i'm not a huge fan of nu-skool either. :shrug:

it's all about preference. a question was posed, and i answered it.

[cleophite]

i love nu skool, but not all of it ... er, but i guess thats how it always is. like, i love funky house too, although some funky house tracks suck. or something.

anyways, breaks is a tough genre ... i find that a lot of the "popular" djs are a little linear for me.

yep yep yep.... linear it is.... some of them need to take more risks when droppin tracks... i say go out on the edge and try something new... if it doesn't work.. least your being creative on the decks, they can be instruments ya know... oh yeah hmmm i was in maimi this year and heard that damn beasty boy breaks track like 10 times... got old real fast... but didn't hear anyone grab the accapella and lay that down over some breaks.. i know it exists... but all in all... still love to hear the breaks mf

:glcaroline:

I guess I don't know breaks...

[tranceaddict420]

i like baby anne's music, but i saw her once in myrtle beach and she was so tore up that she got off stage and they played her cd. so i would never go see her again, but i would buy the cd!

[not applicable]

:glcaroline:

I guess I don't know breaks...


agreed.



florida breaks dont suck.


and SO MANY FUCKING DJS are linear, boring and uncreative with their mixing.


intro - outro is NOT HOT.

im sorry.

cut it up some.

drop a record, wait for the break, let it build recue and when it comes back in, redrop in the second record so that bass gets heavy.

build two tracks together and cut to the second as it breaks for the mix.

wait for the build, cut right as it breaks and when the two come back, the second is kicking and the first is slowing.


its all about variety and it seems to be a lost idea on so many people.

i dont believe your job as a dj is just to simply mix one record into the other. if you dont try and get as much from the two tracks as possible, i dont know what to say.

and yes, baby anne does come on here and i am hoping she reads my response.

[not applicable]

and another thing.

i hate genre catagorizations.

why dont you just listen to records. why does everything have to be labeled?

nuskool, old skool, elementray skool.

come on.

its just limiting and its really just words people made up.

[Modern Breaks]

And if someone doesn't have love for Freeland, then they don't know breaks.


huh?? your joking right??

:crazyeyes:

[Light Touch]

Freeland stunk up the joint when I saw him, and I've heard similar from others who have seen him elsewhere.

If I wanted to listen to uplifting atmospherics and all that, I'd just listen to Sasha & Digweed.

[djnumb]

Man, I saw Adam Freeland twice this year. He rocked the closing set of the Breaks stage @ Ultra Music Festival. And when he was just at Nation with Rennie was the best night ever there. (and I am not a damn newbie).
But, to each his own.

were you here when smalls and imri played in the main room a few years ago? how about krafty kuts the same summer?

I put that part of your quote in bold for emphasis. :wink:

Wasn't there that particular night, but I do like Smalls and Imri. I have only heard the name Krafty Kuts, but no music by him. I will have to Soulseek him when I get off work.

shit man, you're saying you're not a noob but you've never heard of krafty kuts?? :wtf:






















don't take that personal it's a friendly jab.

[djnumb]

I have heard of him. But I am not sure I have heard music I know is by him. But Soulseek will take care of that.

[Bioteknik]

wow, you'd think I scored a 200 on my reading comprehension...

[betseyxox]

i've noticed that most djs are really pretty shy, and what comes off as snobbishness is really just uncomfortableness..
A lot of people told me not to get my hopes up about spacegirl/electra and they couldnt have been more wrong. She was so incredibly sweet and modest and was so nervous about doing well and wanted me to have so much fun, she was great. I just cant say enough great things about her. I've met a few other djs and they've all been really great to me.
I'm going to see Baby Anne tonight here in Raleigh, I'll be sure to write a review in here about her.

[not applicable]

what i really dont understand is why people have to hate on a dj because they are not nice.

seriously, what the fuck.

when you go see a dj are you going to try and be friends with them and hang out and take pics with them so you can tell your friends that you were hanging out with so and so?


or do you go to get fucked up have a good time and dance your ass off?


i dont know about you but i couldnt give two shits if a dj was the biggest prick or bitch ass **** in the world, all im concearned about is what happens from the time they drop that first beat to the time when they walk out from behiend the decks.

if youre more worried about someones personality than you are about the way they are briinging it, please check your fake ass at the door cause you really dont need to be going out.

i mean i cant go on enough about this, but if youre not in it for the music your in it for the wrong fucking reasons.

[not applicable]

wow, ive never seen a word starred out before on here..............

[Bioteknik]

there's only one word that gets the stars.. fora little while it was all swear words and shit, that was funny.


sorry man, but I care how friendly djs are. of course I don't expect those random ones to be all super friendly but one of the biggest reasons I'm making this trip today is to hang out with brent and kieron from aquasky and factor e. :shrug: call me a big dork but that shits pretty cool when these people are all down to earth.

[cleophite]

you know, i bet that a good amount of djs ARE really nice, but i'm sure that if you had people who you didn't know running up and shrieking at you all the time (not to say that everyone does that) then i'm sure you'd get a little grouchy as well. those nights when you want to stay home because you don't feel like being social? djs don't have that same luxury, and i don't know about you, but i'd probably be pretty bitchy.

i'm not addressing anyone in particular, just making a point.

[: ORI :]

hrm...id say if i was making a couple of thousand dollars to DJ for a few hours I would be the happiest person alive.

ok i agree that its cool when they are down to earth.

all im saying is that if you base your judgement on the personality of a dj as opposed to their job..............................DJING, then i believe you are a little off base.



maybe im wrong, but i go to listen to music.

[betseyxox]

Well I just got home from the club. Guess who didnt spin? I guess she has a reputation for a reason. The party was from 10-2, I left at 1:30 to flier before everyone left, and never saw her. Some kids I ran into as I was getting in my car said she never came on. This evening in general depressed me and reminded me again of why I drive so far to come to Nation. The crowd tonight was one of the worst I've seen around here. A lot of drunks, a lot of hos, a lot of bumpin and grinding. Some guy came up behind me and put his arms on my shoulders and with his mouth practically in my ear told me he liked my shirt. I looked at him with a "you need to take your hands off me" kind of look and he was like "I dont want you, I'm getting married tomorrow" and I said "congratulations" and he said I should learn how to take a fucking compliment. That about sums up my night.

which is why you should have made the trip to charlotte :wink: aquasky fuckin tore shit up, the went on around 12:30 or so and played until ~4:00 phenominal set.

so is it a trend in NC to break you beer bottles on the floor after last call? several people did this so by the end of the night there was lots of broken glass on the floor. good thing nobody slipped and fell on some of that

yes, factor e was dropping mad phat tracks for his set as well, lots of unreleased tunes, along with some good recognizable ones.
