Personally I think ther's too many relaods imo. But what can you do if people stop the tunez. .
They obvioussly want the track played again. .

rewinds give us abit of air and entertainment i think, just a live-character in the set. dont think that its good all the time, but sometimes necessary...

I LOVE rewinds! Only if totally off your head though. Sober, they are RUBBISH, but pill'd up, they're HOT

house may be tired, but you've gotta give some respect. can't argue that it's had a direct influence on many good things.

Rewinds are ok if its a fresh, mucky track that most of the audience havent heard before and start going nuts to, because the build up of a tune from the start is something you generally cant get 'in the mix', and personally is something I enjoy - the build up and drop of a tune that I havent heard before becuase I dont kniw what to expect.

I can understand the use of rewinds on this basis and in larger venues/events such as dmz @ mass or the fwd summer party where you can hear people calling for the reload. But what does annoy me is the rewinds at plastic people. Hatcha will be tearing it up and building a strong flow of vibes and suddenly crazy d will shout 'who says reload??????', and I swear know one did or does (That aint a dig at Crazy).

Personally, I would like to see less rewinds unless the majority or genuinely calling for it, not just the hyped-up man at the front.

when the tune is hot, it's pretty cool to get to hear the drop again.

BUT...as a DJ who loves the mix and the flow therein, it can get really annoying. if i were DJing and someone wanted a rewind i would be annoyed because it totally disrupts the flow.

to each their own i suppose. i play dubstep with ableton live, so i ain't rewindin' for nobody...

this is my feeling exactly.... bit like marmite

peace

Personally from a DJs point of view the whole DIY rewind started for me back in when I was playing Grime out. It seemed that it was the ghetto man who thought they could do what ever they wanted in the clubs who would abrubtly pull up the tunes themslves whilst tearing off the tone arm and engraving your dubplate with the needle. These were the sma esort of people who would take over the mic and serve themselves at the bar whilst scared bar staff look on.

The DIY rewind in Dubstep is not abrupt at all its good sometimes. I hate it though when Im tryna build a flow up and I get it going and the crowd is going mad then someone comes and stops the track which takes it back down to where I was just building from. I remember at DMZ when Walshy played I felt sorry for him coz he only managed to play a handful of tunes coz they kept getting DIY rewinds its all about hearing as many tunes as possible.

If you have heard my live before you will notice I rarely pull up tunes unless I have someone who has jumped over the railings or up on the stage and is throttling me screaming "Rewind" in my ear whilst slavering over the deck. I have seen on numerous occasions DJs slap peoples hands away when they go for the DY rewind its quite funny actually. The DJ switching from slapping the fader about to slapping someones hand away from the deck haha.

Large up!

There's enough amazing dubstep tunes being made at the moment that the DJ's must have enough wicked stuff to play without rewinding the same thing over and over. Dubstep is already going the way of drum n bass with its "dubplate pressure this track won't be out for 3 years bollocks" REWINDS PISS ME OFF!

there's a very well known DnB producer called Digital:

www.myspace.com/ukdigital

writes very dubby, jungle-inflected DnB, also has started writing some dubstep of late. Played at Bash recently too.

Apologies for my not knowing of what would appear to be a well known d 'n' b producer. Did not know. A name change might be on the cards then.
