I'm not personally slating Dave, obviously he won't turn down easy money or a gig where he feels there is a platform for him to play. Fair enough.
I'm not a fan purely as i don't see the appeal, I'd rather see a DJ playing records that form some kind of flow & are mixed properly, in saying that I'm not one for the over-doing of 'classics', Pearce seems to play a large majority of his sets with a lot of classics in. Fair enough for people that want that, but personally I think that an older 'anthem' has so much more effect when it's thrown into a set that has some contemporary unknown records in aswell.
Classics nights & DJs like Pearce that (for want of a better phrase) 'Anthem bash' do nothing for me, I'd rather hear someone spin some unknown records for an hour building things up nicely then dropping a massive track, the effect (for me at least) is so much better that way.
Each to their own & i'd never slate anyone for liking anything (within reason) but it's not my cup of tea as I'm sure the music i play isn't to everyone's taste
