I wouldn't worry about it mate, will prob be closer to 3 hours for the more driving stuff. Not that I'm fussed either way

40 minutes through John's hour for July and he is killing it yet again.. so consistent with quality.

Great first hour from John, his forthcoming album's going to be huge if MMX1215 is anything to go by (the Kintar and 21st street remixes that rocca posted are also sounding tight). Turbo mix is solid- especially digging vapoware, also good to hear some micky noise even if its not new stuff.

re: Moshic.. Yeah would love to get a chance to see him like you did. John starts July's mix with Moshic again, dunno how many GTG episodes that is now where he has started his mix with a Moshic tune

Doesn't visit us very often unfortunately (think it was 4 years since his last tour)...didn't anyone pick him up in sydney? His guestmix from a year or two back still gets regular plays. legend.

He was in Melbourne in November last year (i think)

Moshic wasn't picked up in Sydney. I put that down to the fact that promoters in Sydney couldn't pick up in a brothel.

Melbourne is looking better and better every time one of these ****s isn't picked up in Sydney.

I think turkey said in this thread or another that no Moshic in Syd that time due to religious reasons about playing on a Fri night.

Nah thats not the same tune as in the mix

The thing I love about J00F is he plays tunes from ppl like Moshic in a format I like (i.e. mixed in with tracks more towards my general taste). It gives them a sense of balance, helps them stand out more, and provide a good platform for his other stuff. I'm not sure if I could really enjoy a whole Moshic set, I got bored during his guest mix on GTG. That's part of what makes J00F so awesome.

Then he plays awesome stuff like

Media Player

Nuclear Bomb (Atomic Weapon Testing) - Fatali vs Digicult -The Return (Alpha F Remix) - YouTube

and it all just makes sense.

7 day countdown to my first dose of J00F this year. So so keen.

Yeah I now exactly what you mean, JOOF get the maximum value out of each track he plays. When I listen to the tracks individually, I remember how brilliantly he presents the tracks in the context of the mix, and it makes me enjoy the track even more. Without hearing it being presented in the context of the mix I might not recognize it as such a brilliant track.

He posted a new blog on FB about the DJ MAG & how he wants to change the scene, interesting read.

Quote:

I think we’re at this very same point, I truly believe in these historic cycles that repeat themselves and it’s now time to happen again. Difference back then, the media supported genuine good talent and events, today they only support a ‘number’. We also don’t have the specialist media infrastructure in place supporting this specialist scene.
It’s not just clubs I want help, it’s the infrastructure as a whole. I want to help start online magazines, forums, communities for likewise clubbers and music lovers. I need to get shops to start listening and supporting specialist producers and offering a dedicated place to sell specialist music. Magazines need to offer dedicated pages to support specialist producers. Once this support is seen for the specialist market, it will unlock club/promoters brains and show them that there is another way to fill their clubs. It’s a lot of work needed by a lot of people. I need a big team of people and support (I’ll be looking to you lot to get involved and help, possible jobs too), but if I turn to sponsors for investment they will want to see that dreaded ‘number’?
The Poll:
So for the first time in many years I’ve thought about hitting hard to get myself back in the poll to get a ‘number’ in order to make these things happen. This is NOT for me, but for a tool in order for me to get people to listen in order to make these things happen to get sponsors etc. In a way, it’s a kind of manifesto and I’m a Trance conservationist.
The day I leave this planet, I want people to look back my career, not to say John 00 Fleming was the best DJ, the best producer or a Superstar, but to be proud of my contribution and dedication to the scene that I truly love. I’ve dedicated my whole working life to it so far. Being apart of the next specialist cycle of the Trance scene will be the panicle of my career. If at any point people think I want to get in this poll for myself, then I’ll back out and try another way. I was in the Poll for a good seven years (until I rebelled) so I know the difference it makes when it comes to the media listening, so I have to give this another shot.
So now I ask you all, is this a good thing and will you support? Or do I try another way?

He also explains it better on TA
http://tranceaddict.com/forums/showt...2&forumid=1&s=

tl;dr

let me guess its something about how the scene has changed and the focus is now on money and not on the music?

On one hand - yes.
On the other hand he poses an interesting question about use of the DJ Mag Poll.

It’s a game; the music industry is driven by profits. From what I understand J00F is willing to accept the game and attempt to play it. I’m worried that J00F is changing his focus away from promoting “specialist” to try and appeal to the “commercial” mass market.

If he compromises his sound to meet the demands of the mass market, isn’t this a way of justifying selling out?

If trance lovers knew how dedicated and talented he is I strongly believe tickets would sell out in seconds. All he really needs to do is promote himself more, invest it big marketing campaigns, back himself 100% and become known. He has an unbelievable product; he just isn’t marketing it well enough. It’s as if he doubts his product and doesn’t believe it can stand up on its own merits, so he wants to tweak it a little to appeal to the mass market. When it does stand up on its own merits, it’s just his marketing campaign is non-existent, a radioshow that is unknown to most and a few blogs on his website.

His following has increased massively in the last 2-3 years.......

hey kidlets, my very wonky video's from JOOF last night, you'd think i would have mastered the video taking, drinking & dancing all at once by now

... That's the exact opposite of what he wants. He doesn't ache to validated by the commercial market, he certainly doesn't want the focus to be a marketing campaign (!!) it's all about the music and the experience. His blogs are (sometimes pointless, now quite repetitive) rants against those things you mentioned. His entire 'job' now is centred around "recreating" the specialist market, not leaving it.

Selling out? FFS either a troll(congratulations) or just another halfwit.

The thing he prides himself on is not changing his sound to suit the masses. His sound is going to change over time as all music does. It's called progression.

Stop analyzing shit and just enjoy some quality music.

I’m not having a go at J00F, I’m simply stating the options he has to get to point A (Where he currently is) to Point B (Where he wants to be).

To poll in the top DJ you must create a product that is marketable to the masses, Armin Van Buuren is a great example. Hundreds of talented producers/ Dj’s have to decide whether they stay producing an unpopular/underground sound or they start producing a commercial sound, they understand the sacrifices they need to make to become the artist they want to be, J00F is no exception.

J00F has made sacrifices just as Armin Van Buuren has. J00F believes it should be based on talent not numbers, yet it is based on numbers whoever you are in the music industry, it’s the game.
If you don’t accept it and believe it’s based on talent, you may as well audition for Australia’s Got Talent, but even then the judges make their decisions based on whether you are commercially marketable or not.

My point is that it’s a compromise. You can be (50%) Underground and (50%) Commercial but you can’t be 100% of both. The more commercial the more profit you make the more money you can spend on promoting underground music. The more underground the less profit, the less you can spend on promoting underground music.

I think he is asking his fans what option should he take? Because he is dead set on getting to point B.

Honestly if he decides to enter the poll on DJ MAG he has my full support. I see that he is selfless in his dedication to his fans and trance music, the major financial sacrifices he has made for his fans and trance music (compared to commercially successful artists eg. Armin Van Buuren). He has kept the flame of underground trance burning brightly. He needs more support to finance his plans to promote “specialist” music; I completely understand and I applaud it.

samples of all tracks up! ooh yeah

JOOF last night - legendary. Also you can tell he enjoys it just as much as we all do. See you again next year Mr Fleming.

All class last night, mind blowing set with spot on progression through the 4 hours. EPic!

Use your ID'ing skills JOOF fans and find a track for each part. Heap of tracks in there from his essential mix and GTG episodes. Tracks list Trina, Melatron, Rainsong, Imaginarium (Burn in Noise remix) are all in there I'm pretty sure

And he played this track that I always go on about! -

episode 100 of global trance grooves tonight/tomorrow morning

fuuuuu my net is capped so I won't be able to get it until the 20th or something of this month. Joof said in the last GTG that the 100th episode is going to be like his essential mix, with lots of extra production etc etc. Will be the goods

Really feeling The Winds of Change Are Blowing. Has a bit of a Dying Isis feel about it. Solid track, apt name. Loved it when he dropped it in Melb around the 40min mark. A bit muddier in Sydney but still good.

Had a quick flick through GTG100 yesterday, looks like it'll deliver !

The mix is a rare treasure to add to my library of mixes. J00f has the talent to produce tracks and mixes that are timeless, this mix is no exception.

Finally got this mix pumping through my monitors....

Deliver it did! So much gold from start to finish (although there is one slightly boring track somewhere in the middle with a somewhat generic psytrance feel to it - but this is easily overlooked). Definitely a keeper on the iPhone.

Nine Lives just downloaded. A steal from Juno at $12AUD, that's less than a dollar per track.

Halfway through, it's decent if unspectacular maybe. A few tracks somewhat experimental (like A Far Off Place and Baphomets Horn) that didn't grab me at first. And possibly not quite the depth of sound I might have hoped for.

That said, still definitely above par. And the tracks that do hit the spot are really, really good. Hope the others grow on me, some albums are like that.

EDIT: Maybe I was harsh. Solid album. Still a few fairly flat tracks, but given there's 16 of them the overall output is pretty tidy.

Listened to it twice tonight..

On first listen I though it was good without being spectacular. 2nd listen and I'm really liking it..... a few 'growers'.. really diverse album. Really good.

MMX1215 is a monster.

Baphomets Horn is insane!

1440 minutes is rocking my socks, jocks, locks and everything else-ocks

Had a quick go over last night, all of the tracks hold up very well, however I feel that there’s very few that really stand out, which is a shame. The collabs help spice things up. Though J00F is a great producer, too much J00F can become a little samey.

The first half of the album really does it for me, because I’m not hugely into psy.

I do love that the album mirrors the progression of his sets, however. It’s almost like a mini J00F set.

Overall, it’s great, but nothing mind blowing or unexpected.

It's missing the Digital Blonde, tbh

I bet a few of those tunes that aren't really standing out would sound huge on a proper system...

Frisson is a wicked tune as well.

Great GTG this month

Guestmix dominates JOOF’s mix. All his own production too! I cant stop listening to it.

The album needed an anthem track with a distinct melody. It was all a bit too wishy-washy and falls flat midway through.

have you got the cd or download? i think in the cd notes he talks about that stuff exactly, or maybe one of the blogs. i don't think he intended any anthem style tunes anyway.

NO. Don’t get me wrong, I loved it from start to finish. I can see what he intended to do, and as always he nailed it. I felt the emotion behind it. The deep side to j00f was special to see. It presents the deeper darker side of j00f, it lacks the balance that I was hoping for.

GTG 102 is sick. I love how there is never more than one below par episode at a time. 101 let me down (in part due to the EPICNESS that was GTG 100?) but 102 is sick.
