  1. Sorry, just saw it on clips in recent videos. Found this pic though, maybe not great. Actually can't decide whether I'm jealous, or don't like it, on reflection. Probably the former, if I'm honest!
  2. Was it a vinyl, Jason? Funny, was having a good root for the same track very recently. Could find many cd singles of the tune, but none had the knuckleheadz mix on it, only vinyls, and don't have decks any more. Can you tell the album by pm even please? Dying to find this for ages.
  3. Good shout, that when you mention it! Fine crop he has too. Majorly jealous, actually.
  4. Been pretty quiet alright. This place (as with many other forums to be fair) goes through it's peaks and troughs. What's his official forum like now? Never signed up to it. Just seemed full of spam when I last looked. Debate,.... lemmie see.... erm, Jules has been growing his hair into the more modern 'shaved tight back and sides, longer on the top' look, which I dunno if I like. Think it may be one of those mohican jobs too, not sure though, didn't get a proper look and he's been asking about hair products on twitter. And he's signing nearly all his tweets of with #edm. Sacrilege!
  5. Jules hammered 'Before I was rudely interrupted' of his as well, round the time of the Uni tours, (which I HATED at the time), but have grown to really like since. Dave is notoriously grumpy, seen him take the huff at gigs and stuff, and he's given many bitchy interviews. He can be brilliant when he wants though, I do enjoy a lot of his stuff. He detested the trance explosion and was horrified that his music was in the middle of some of the the biggest trance sets going. Suppose it was a face saving exercise.
  6. I remember being in a record store, and one of my mates handing me a new Moby record and saying 'There's a Ferry Corsten remix on that, he's everywhere now. It's getting a bit much at this stage, he's just chasing the bucks remixing anything. The arse is gonna fall out of the trance scene once this starts'. He wasn't far wrong, to be honest.
  7. Weren't they different tunes though, in name anyway? The Minogue one was 'Who Do You Love?' I think, and the original was 'Stringer'. Was there any difference?
  8. Ha ha! Now I've absolutely no idea which Fergie you've met! It's my own fault entirely. I brought all this nonsense on! By the way, I'm pretty sure that was Ferguson's son (yay, another Fergie!) did that. Real sick stuff, hit his heavily pregnant wife I think.
  9. Don't think he was forced to change it, he just did it anyway as part of the 'evolution', but it's deffo part of the reason. Forgot about the Dutchess Fergie too, she's in America is right (or was anyway). I remember in the summer when Tevez held up the sign saying 'RIP Fergie' ( about the Man United one) at the Man City victory parade, and 'rip fergie' trended worldwide on twitter. There were yanks inconsolable all over the place thinking the woman from the Black Eyed Peas had died!
  10. Fergie here = / Fergie in America =
  11. Ha! Never heard the Dave Clarke story, good on Jules! He used to hammer loads of his stuff too, and it never seemed out of place. That's a skill in itself. Shit like that does my head in though; snobbery like that. Pretty petty. If you don't want people playing your tunes, quit producing. Thinking on it, Jules must've got sent some amount of promos at that stage. He played funky, filtered house, trance, techno, even hard house stuff. The sheer volume of stuff must've been staggering every week.
  12. To be fair to Fergie, he's never stayed true to anything. Hard house->tech house/bosh->minimal/techno->commercial. Lot of substantial switches in just over a decade. I assume he sees the £££ that the big gigs in Vegas bring now and went for it. Pity the Black Eyed Peas forced him to change his name!
  13. Oh dear Tom, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. He's playing in Vegas now as Rob Guson, playing a more commercial sound. He's leaving the techno for now. http://skrufff.com/2012/08/dj-fergie-reinvents-himself-to-conquer-vegas/
  14. Jules played some proper balls-out techno too, didn't he? Something he never gets credited for. Even his (old anyway) mix cds always had a techy element to them.
  15. Think I know the tune you are on about mate, would love to know the name of it myself. Edit, Discogs seems to think it's Hydraulix 6, going by this review. "Burn out.......misfit........" Surely one of the best hydraulix records ever. The first third of the track is very minimal with the vocal very clear-ideal for dropping it into the last tune.......music for the munted generation! This is it, isn't it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFS6Qldth0A
  16. Yeah, I notice quite a few releases now seem to have 12" versions of releases. It seems to be mainly techno/ deep house though sadly. See loads of people saying they buy online now in bulk, but I'd imgime it sin't cheap. It's just not feasible to go through the whole process of pressing a tune now when it can be burned ready for use seconds after making it. It's great, but also of massive detriment, leading to so much over-saturation, imo. Would be amazing if it made a comeback, even in a minor, dare I say it, elitist form. Though haven't they stopped making the Technics decks? Cheese- Yeah, that whole Fergie thing was a bit... well, I dunno, strange, really. It's no secret TDV was gay, and played at the notorious Trade, so taking in a 16/7 year old kid away from home to live with him raised a few eyebrows, but apparently TDV met with Fergie's parents, and they were left completely satisfied with his plans. They were fully supportive once they met him. As far as I'm aware, Fergie's completely straight, so he was going over for the music only anyway.* *edit, by that I mean not heading over to party and go wild at a young impressionable age, as the scene was purely about the music for him.
  17. To be fair, that 'non touch' thing with vinyl has been going on for years. I remember Marshall Jefferson being the first person I saw use it live round 96/7 (it was completely new to me) who's a pioneer of dj'ing, and I remember Fergie telling the story of when Tony De Vit took him under his wing back in the late ninties. Tony would get Fergie to make him a tape and sit down to listen to it in front of Fergie. If he heard Fergie touching the platter in a mix, he immediately took the tape out and broke it and tell him to make it again! Fwiw, I always liked give the record a nudge with my hands too. I always felt afraid to touch the pitch after I'd it set perfect (or as near as).
  18. Enjoyed that Tom, nice one. The Journey Begins is effin epic! Heading straight to beatport for that one.
  19. My heart sank today when I saw today that the new cdj2000 nexus (which is going to replace the cdj2000) has a synch button on it. Mixing as we all used to know and cut our teeth on, will be a distant memory soon I think.
  20. I just ripped my version today, and shall be uploading tonight (hopefully). :thumbsup:
  21. It makes me wonder whether the likes of The Gallery etc haven't approached him, or his management and had a word, saying it wasn't what they wanted? As Briggsy says, it's becoming of the tackier end of club culture, which is surely what these clubs do not want to be associated with.I'm sure even Jules would have a re-think then. It really is a puzzler, as the last thing you'd call Jules is arrogant, or pig-headed, but seemingly when it comes to these jingles, he doesn't want to, or simply just won't listen to the feedback. I'd defy him to show me as much positive feedback about the jingles (etc) as negative. No way people are telling him it's adding anything to their experience.
  22. Controversy reigns this year again, with Push (I think) saying that he'd been offered votes to buy from e-bay, and linked the page. DjMag, for their part, have said they are aware of voting irregularities and 'buying of votes' and will name and shame offenders in the coming days. I wonder if there are any big names in it? I suspect it will just have the same outcome as the last time; the dj's blaming the agents saying they knew nothing about it. On a related note, I find Jules has barely mentioned it at all (on twitter anyway) compared to other years. Noticeably so. I dunno whether it's a sign of his slowing down his dj'ing a bit, his recognition of the sheer annoyance fans find in the campaigns for votes, or he just doesn't care about it anymore.
  23. This is weird, I recently went on a hunting mission for a few tracks with a proggy feel that I hadn't heard in ages. Namely, X-Press2, Muzicism, that Superchumbo mix of Missy Elliot, L'il Louis, Mutiny, The Virus, and that weird and unusual Wonderland which I heard on Jules' Clubbed (I think). Mad to see how many are on this set. Thanks for the upload, will grab it when I get time.
  24. Someone posted a clip on here demonstrating just how little attention Jules was actually paying to his mixing. He was literally whacking in the cd just before it was time to mix, and adjusting the pitch as he was actually mixing with little or no cuing done. That's just plain lazy, to be honest. He's more interested in those God awful jingles and playing up to the crowd than his bread and butter.
