Well round two was a little smaller than round one, but it was still the same, literally. Maybe that’s too harsh… Apl.de.ap did do a cool warm up dj set, which was a nice surprise, but LMFAO barely made an appearance on stage. When LMFAO did get up they brought the party, kindly sharing their bottle of vodka with the crowd, and jumping around all over the place.
Will.i.am played a very similar set, except added in a few different tracks and changed the order a little. I was pretty disappointed by this. I still liked the speed with which he changed tracks, I liked the songs, I enjoyed being in the crowd, but it lost me because it was almost exactly the same set. It lost me even more considering he was using ableton, well he was djing with his laptop, and he had the potential to do some crazy djing. Maybe I expected too much, it is a sure bet the tracks he played would get the crowd going, and he did switch some tracks. Is it okay to dj like this?
Perthquake photographer Holly also says he played a short dj set at the Black Eyed Peas show that included tracks by MJ, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nirvana and House of Pain, mmm he did that Friday night and some sat night too! haha she said, ‘lame’
I doubt very many people would have attended both Friday and Saturday DJ sets so it’s not too bad that he played similar sets at both. I’m sure those who only went to the Saturday night show at Shape would have still enjoyed it =]
Yeah I know it’s okay really, but since he’s a pretty big time dj, it’s just frustraing seeing him do the same thing. But i do agree there wouldn’t be many people like me who went to both!
i agree! i was not a big fan of his laptop style, felt he lacked a little in his mixing ability but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Also was disapointed he replayed songs that the previous dj was playing (MUV). Zuper Blahq = Zuper Boring!
I agree aleks! The one other thing that annoyed me is he has the pseudonym zuper blahq implying he might do something different in his sets, but nah he did the same thing. Anyway he was still good.
