D.Ramirez speaks out about "Afrojack" sound in house music

[Cango_]

Today's twitter conversation between famous producers/DJs D.Ramirez , Afrojack , Funkagenda , Dave Spoon ... What do you thik about this? You can tweet your opinion to them. Read here the dialog and opinions of some fans:

D.Ramirez: Why does every DJ these days seem to want to sound like Afrojack? It's not big or clever - it's FCUKing ear rape!

@funkvillage: The bliepbliep music is really having a bad influence on the quality housemusic. I hope the good producers don't follow...
@RealSeanHolland: Dont keep your mouth shut mate! We are all allowed to have an opinion. "ear Rape"may have offended. Its actually "Mind Rape"
@Tonyo86: you're just jealous, he has his own style and you..just get out the way
@msdprojekt: who is this Afrojack you speak of, I honestly haven't heard him/her/them. A lot of people try to sound like @DRamirezmusic tho .
@Kristoph: Because it shifts units my friend. Those of us with good ears and taste may be in the minority I'm afraid!

Dave Spoon: @DRamirezmusic I totally hear ya mate BUT is it no different to the knock on effect we created a few years back..?
Wez Clarke: Maybe we're all getting old. I remember being into THE most unmusical Jungle music when I was young!
KimFai: @DRamirezmusic Remember those whistle lolly pops? That what his tracks sound like whip whoo whip whip woooo!!!!

D.Ramirez: It's not Afrojack that bothers me,he does his thing pretty well if dig that. It's the knock on effect on the music scene that horrifies me! Sorry if I caused any offence with my Afrojack comment. As a few have pointed out, people might not like my music. I'll keep my mouth shut!

Dave Spoon: true but people like it so..?! Music is meant to e fun and I think we're all guilty of taking it too seriously sometimes. But at the same time.. as I said in the past, innovate without a soap-box.. don't follow. A good debate but far too serious for a Sunday morning.

Funkagenda: Our knock on effect contained actual musical content rather than one big kick drum and a squeak... I can't argue that people love it... Personally as a musician I struggle to find the merit or melody that said, "Louder Than Words" in INSANELY catchy + musical. But the more"ravey" stuff? No thanx! lol
The odd thing about that being... I loved rave! lol

@off2ibizz: @DRamirezmusic It seems like expressing your opinion is taboo unless your opinion is what the "masses" want hear. F**k'em! Don't keep quiet!

Afrojack: @funkagenda @kimfai @dramirezmusic Ah, come on, now play nice guys have a beer.. I didn't get into this for war, but if u wanna go for it ill earrape the shit out of u! U know i got those lazers!

D.Ramirez: @djafrojack Yeah, sorry dude it wasn't meant to be a go at you. It was more at the people who try to sound like you and do it badly!


PS: Nah bagaimana dgn pendapat teman2 rvlx ttg hal ini yg jg sedang ramai diperbincangkan 

[echaaaa]

never like afrojack sounds , thats my honest opinion ,

prefer chuckie his sound was always evolving , he may start his career with the bleep bleep sound but as he progress his sounds also , check chuckie out from when he make im in miami bitch to his remix of mogumby " Bumpy Ride" totally evolving and always evolving , we can never guess what he came out next ,


afrojack ? hmmmmm just not my cup of coffee ( ps check out his track bangduck and his remix of lady gaga"s alejandro , same sound,same pattern,different riff , imagine that)

ps : gw banyak dapet demo buat 220v label gw and waktu kompetisi remix kemaren , and you know what ? so many kids in indonesia is trying to sound like angger dimas , the same knock on effect , so to all you producer out there ,

STOP TRYING TO SOUND LIKE ANGGER DIMAS

, angger has his own style and he's good at what he do , dont be a copycat , be an ORIGINAL

[AdaGio]

Mmmmmmm...... Seru gila ini..

Asli bsk balik laptop gw translate deh... Tapi d.ramirez emg konsep n quality productionnya idealis n gokil parah sij.. Asli mumet ngeliat konsep en methodnya dari mulai ngebangun groove sampe ngevariasi pattern timbre yang jelas jelas dia gaperna instan en engineeringnya niat. Abis.

Ga heran gw klo dia kebakaran jenggot ngadeppin tren simplisitas instan dalam sketching konsep sekarang yang di quote tadi  sama  funkagenda "big kick drum and a squeak"

hahhaahahaha...... Ato ato ato nimbrung dimaree...
