    LOL pop producers have been mining the house underground since Stock, Aitken & Waterman released “Roadblock” in the late 80s. It’s nothing new 🙂

    The only reason she is trying to be a DJ is because she is sleeping with one. If she was sleeping with a race car driver she would want to drive race cars. This trend of “famous” people becoming DJs really needs to stop. I was pushed out of a set because of some tool from a TV show that I have never heard of came to town was trying to be a DJ. His set was so bad that he cleared the dance floor twice and let the music hit dead air many times!!! “Ohhh wooops I forgot to play another song, la de da here we go i was just playing house now i am playing metal” He was so bad that the opening DJ and I begged him to leave, we offered him $300 to get up and leave. The club owners didn’t care, “Oh well look how many people he brought into the club, its best that he stays”….let the “famous” people sit around and drink dont let them work, if they are drinking they will still bring in people but they will also spend cash like no tomorrow. Let the people who put music first in their life be DJs not some “Famous TV Star” wreck your club…..the idiot also spilled beer all over 2 brand new CDJs never even used, I had hooked them up and everything…….”Oh well opps i spilled my beer i have to get a new one”

    FYI Paris Hilton has already put out a pop CD = Pop music is still here. I wouldn’t sweat it.

    House music is already mainstream, With artists like David Guetta, Benny Benassi, Tiesto, Rusko making tracks with pop/rap artists. With that said there is always going to be an “undergound” scene in the EDM world. Most of the places i goto and DJ at is mostly House music…Electro/Breaks/Drum-Dub, and not one of the DJs in there would be caught dead spinning a Guetta track or Benassi. With the majority of us we consider this music as Club “Cheese”, stuff thats great for the masses but not really catering to the EDM people. Music will always progress…90s was the Powerchord bands, early 2000 Hiphop and Pop became the rage…and now its House music.

    This always happens…Pauly D is actually spinning in my town in a few weeks and thats EXACTLY how i feel about him. He cant mix for shit, looks like a ooompa loompa on steroids and totally a waste of space. HOWEVER, he will pack the club no matter where he goes because he is famous. This is what club owners want…club owners dont care how you pack the club, as long as its packed because they make more money. Club owners arnt like us DJs…where we spin music because we love it and want to express ourselves in our mixes. Our mixes are like a story of who we are and the musical journey we share with the people who dance. Club owners are just there for the money…so are we…but to them its money first and then whatever else. For myself its about the music then the money.

    I am rather fortunate that the city i live in has so much diversity in music that i can play the music i want to play and crowds come out to Rock out and dance their asses off. In all honesty I would rather be just a straight Bedroom DJ than have to go out and spin music that i dont love.

    Harder Faster Stronger! Yes, house is finally on the way out…
    The crowd don’t wanna get into a tech-house coma,
    they want energy, attitude and power!
    When I mix from house to dubstep/dirty d/mombathon/breakbeat etc
    the crowd allways goes apeshit!

    What Phil said, it’s nothing new. House is going nowhere, cheesy pop versions of house won’t reach the ears of the true house music lovers (or trance , etc).

    Ditto re Christopher Lawrence he does produce awesome trance, you can add Nicholas Bennison to that list as well.

    Every few years someone says the same thing about house. I remember it going cheesy in the 90s and again about 10 years ago.
