(sigh) oh my...weeks, months of lurking and suddenly there's two topics in
the course of one week I feel the need to add my .02.
While to some it may appear that Jeff is 'selling out' or 'turning his back
on his fans' what he's doing is trying to push back the boundaries.
I've seen Jeff at Lost, I've seen Jeff in (just outside of Detroit), I've
seen Jeff in New York and when he's on, there's not many who attack the
turntables in such a wanton intensity.
The fact that he's going and playing 'house clubs' is part of expanding his
mission and exposing the concepts to the next tier of dance music fans.
While the first few times at Fabric may be full of clueless people and may be
less than fulfilling for the diehard UK fans, the greater perception that his
presence in those clubs will create overall can only hope to draw more
attention to forward thinking dance music globally ('cause you know the rest
of the world, like it or not, follows the UK music press like gospel).
In conclusion, I'll leave you with this thought. Wouldn't you rather have
Jeff as the biggest DJ in the world as compared to Oakie, Jules, Sasha,
Diggers, and the rest of them that seem to get ink every month in Mixmag,
Ministry, and Muzik?
This is just the first step in getting closer to that possibility.
