John 00 Fleming's Advice for Up & Coming DJ's

A lot of that is on the money. Residents make or break a night, especially when the inevitable happens and a guest DJ can't make it...

Faaaarrrr too many words to describe a simple concept there. Just rinse clubs and speak to people?

The last habit - Udberg on at the end. Shame that I was too full of flu to enjoy it

Really liked that first part.

J00F is a legend, and his words should be good advice to many people who are trying to short cut the path to 'stardom' by relying too heavily on cheap tricks and deception.

Look at Promise - Tulip was the solid foundation of that club for years, and the people who turned up, turned up week on week cos they knew the residents, and the crowd were great. These days can the same be said? .... I very much doubt it. I'm guilty of it myself (i suppose i have to be cos i don't have a 'local' and i have to travel to events) but how many of us turn up to an event based on the guest bookings, and totally ignore the resident(s) or just for the sake of supporting a night? The Gallery in London has flown under the radar in a rock solid manner for years now cause people know that week in, week out its gonna be good, and not necessarily cos they have DJ-Fake-Productions-they-never-made on.

Its a shame the massive/big brands have almost 'spoiled' some of the sub genres of dance music - trance especially.

Ah yes. You were conspicuous by your absence, given that the last time I bumped into you on a night out you rinsed me to fuck

something about running a shit message board or something, you were wankered
