Should we discuss the Steve Angelo "Mime" incident?

I just think if someone is going to pay me thousands to perform…then I’d perform. It’s one thing to do the pyro show and have a mix ready-made, or even some wild edit mix to toss on as an intro…but another to just mime the normal set. He should know DJs will see this and call him out on it.

Plus when you take shortcuts like that, you get sloppy. Suddenly one day he’ll want to play normally and have trouble because he’s been slacking too much.

Getting into that level of this industry means you’re better than the rest. To simply make it more about who has more money to use in marketing is what drives many out of EDM and such. It’s what makes many look down on it because the talent aspect has been removed.

I see from his Discography that 70% of his Productions have been with other people; and 50%+ of his Material has been Released on his Own Label; so; if you bring his Co-Producers such as Laidback Luke and Eric Pridz into the Equation; I am beginning to Question his Production Skills also; having now Dismissed him as a DJ;
I have watched Pete Tong and Carl Cox a number of times from Tommorowland and other Festivals; and they Deserve to still be Working after 30 Years (Carl Cox); because they are Still Working on their Sets; and even though Carl Cox and Adam Beyer Both had a Train Wreck at Tomorrowland; I would Much Rather hear that than a Barbie Doll Set that has been Pre-Recorded;
I would Love to see Angello try and pull this Stunt off in a Small Club with 200 People (who had Paid £90 for the Priviledge of the Exclusivity); as they would Tear Him Apart

Yes; Their Professionalism was that they Just Continued their Sets; and this I Admire 😎
