I rarlely find myself starting a topic here or addressing some sort of issue, since most get knocked off their original intent, but i have to say this as im sure the msg that i want to get through will get through to ALL those addressed here.

I dont understand what all radio stations are trying to pull off in the recent month with their use of air time, as it is one of the only way to promote music and make it stronger in this country.

ARE RADIOS TRYING TO PROMOTE MUSIC FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING MUSIC OR JUST A WAY TO PROMOTE WHOEVER THEIR HOSTING THIS MONTH. Because this is bullshit to be honest, i switch of 104.4 i hear jungle bob sinclar music , i switch to nrj i hear fucking mika then i turn to radio one for love comes again !?!?!?
this is becoming more and more ridiculos how these radios are taking advantage of that air time, we understand the commercials, we understand the constant interruptions, but manipulating the types of music and creating their own mainstream that would serve their own best intentions to sell their booked artist of the month is fucking bullshit. at least limit it.

And yes, dont waste your time with silly comments like use your cd player or switch your radio off... these are solutions just to reinforce b.s behavior by that media and doesnt really get through to the problem.

Easy there dude! I feel your pain because I get that too over here, except it's 10 times worse. The UAE doesn't have a good music scene. It's very trendy, so whatever people listen to, the radio stations play.

This is exactly the same everywhere. I'm used to that kind of behavior from radio stations. Plus, it's a marketing plan, and no radios play music for the love of music. They need ratings and that generates good money. If they can keep the listener tuned in for the longest time, then they are doing a great job.

People don't want to listen to something new and wonder what it was or who was it by, they want to listen to something they already know. And if it is new, it has to be REALLY catchy! I find Bob Sinclar's music very catchy for the uneducated ear. Same goes for Tiesto's music, and other commercial songs.

If this whole thing was a problem to people, the radio stations would have definitely chosen other styles of music to play, or even more underground stuff you know?

The best solution for OUR pleasure when it comes to radio stations, is to start stations that play a specific genre or two only. This will slowly grab listeners from time to time and educate them, and thus take them out of their commercial-music-nutshell.

Until then, just bare with it because there's nothing you can do, or I can do, or anyone can do.

Well there is another thing, has anyone noticed the recent "Waaaaay too much commercials"?
Every day after work I go from Beirut to the mountains. It takes about 45mins. At least 20 - 30mins of that time on the road, there is nothing but commercials on all the 3 radio channels. I really don't mind listening to commercials but there is a limit too...

I stopped listening to our Local Radios long time ago ... because the Music played is :pukeright: :pukeleft: , because the commercials and adds for the artist they are hosting gets on my nerve everytime I listen to it ... Michel De Hey is Carl Cox's protegé ... James Zabiela is Sasha's protégé ... pffft ... or Dj Tony who won the BBC Essential Mix of the year 1980 !!!! ... David & Cathy are the most famous couples ..... Dj Darwich voted number 3 DJ in 1999.... John Digweed number 1 HOUSE DJ (like always "number 1" have to be present).... and now any of you noticed the "BOB SINCLAR LIVE IN BIEL" Jeep which are passing by in beirut ??? ya3ne I could smell the odor of $ .... This Sucks !! It Ain't Right :mrgreen: ....
I sometime put MixFM or NRJ to listen to some Radio Shows .... the last one I heard were Xander's (who play nice but old tracks) and Kacey's Mastermix which is GREAT, I Loved it !
I don't give a shit though , because I know that the Lebanese crowd will never learn that Tiesto is not THE BEST DJ , and DAVID & CATHY GUETTA are not the most famous couple , and BOB SINCLAR is nothing else than a pathetic clown , and Deep Dish are not a Boys Band and they not gonna sing Say Hello when they will be performing. and thay it is ADAGIO FOR STRINGS the name not only ADAGIO! , and we say PVD not PHD neither PED, and Marcel Woods is a DJ not a singer , and .... etc etc
Minimal/Techno it is...

First; the whole radio thing.. I cant but completely agree with you. But at the same time .. I wouldnt mind listening to an AD over and over again if it were to be for a DJ i respected! Unlike the 3 big names were expecting to hit beirut in the next 10 - 14days !!

But come on, these are big expensive names that need heavy promotion and im sure all 3 radio stations are doing this to make sure tthat the message got delievered and came across as many people as possible!

Its just like the promoters who dont have access to radio and cannot afford it and go on abusing the MESSAGE button on facebook sending 1000's of messages daily to promote their gig.

Solution ?
Just like i removed myself from many groups on facebook and clicked on the NOT ATTENDING button so that i can avoid recieving SPAM in my BOX .. you can do the same by using ur iPod or CD Player :wink: and im sorry this isnt the solution ur looking for.

There is nothing called a radio with a mission in the M-E...and I don't think that people who invest in a radio look to cover a monthly deficit...they have to promote events that create cash-flow in order to survive...all the previous radios that played a unique style all day long are long done...and radios are directed towards the simple-minded and easily-influenced people...those kind of ads you are talking about encourages them to go and attend the event...and we can say whatever we want about the radios but let's face it...eventually if it wasn't for the radios activity we wouldn't have a scene or the small and quality DJs that came after the big gigs especially in 2005...and no one can throw a successful event today without the support of one of those local stations you are bashing...so instead of hating...embrace :mrgreen: ...


Welcome to DJ.Malaria you may wonder why I called this group Dj Malaria.
Just like Malaria takes over a person's body when it hits them i want my music's originality to control the soul of whoever hears it in that sense my music is more powerful than Malaria,and I'm sure it will but in a positive way of
course.

Whats the problem? Radio is radio is radio is media. Media is media is media is advertising. (Just like TV).

It has always been that way and will always be. It's the same all over the world - especially when a radio station hosts events or brings commercial crap like Tiesto and Bob Sinclar -> a mass event needs mass advertising. And you cant deny the big competition right now with a 2 day difference between Tiesto and Bob Sinclar.

Live with it, or tune to "Light Fm" instead :mrgreen:

And yes, those messages on Facebook are just as irritating!!!

Yes, but when your in a facebook event / group you expect to be massed by the admins / promoters ... but when im on the radio, i usually like to listen to MUSIC!

We have long ago adapted with commercials and the impact of advertising on media god knows i have and im studying marketing, but this ability to control what to listen to and when, is a privilage to those who know how to entertain, not to stick it in our heads one way or another by bombarding our asses with tracks to the upcoming preformer... i mean did we not adapt to commercials under the pretence that radio stations need to make a living, but dont come tell me now that they need to make money to promote their acts, by playing music from that act over over over + all the commercials concerning that specific act...

to make my point clear: PLAY MORE FUCKING MUSIC.
OR BETTER YET, PROMOTE OUR/YOUR DJS MORE.

And yeah i say it again, Switching off your radio, loading a cd, pluging your ipod wont really contribute in doing shit for music, as our radio stations are supposdly a reflection of our musical activism and how much is our country affected by music. Why should i now be able to turn the radio on in my car and listen to nice music ?? doesnt have to be edm, for all i know, i could be enjoying a radio head track in the 5pm traffic. but yeh PLAY MORE MUSIC.
banned from all mix fm events.

orders from mix fm.

hahaha see i like these topics ...:
1- its the right of the radio to do whatever the fuck they want, its up to you to like it or not
2- its their job to promote, i bet you Mr Sin. if you had a radio you would do exactly the same..


NOW before you come and attack me with the usual bs every one uses, i work in radio one as an on air dj...i know the policy of music there.... and for the truth im not defending the radio but everyday an airplay list is given out at the bottom it says ...PLAY A TIESTO SONG EVERY 1 HOUR, and every 30 mins a tiesto jingle....
its a way to promote , i bet if u had the means to promote that way you would do the same for Q events, am i right or wrong ?

So please dont attack any radio because they have the freedom to do whatever pleases them...


Respect to all radios for their amazing jobs...if u dont like the djs they get, dont attend...try and get better ones ;) ... i personally listen to all radio stations and dont mind it at all to hear adverts about any event...all radios are doing a good job in raising night life standards ...now if its oriented towards money or towards the love of music ...WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE AS LONG AS U HAVE A FUCKEN NIGHTLIFE????

Enjoy what you got....as they say in arabic , 3eesho bil ne3me wo ma tetkabaro 3alaya...law feekon ta3mlo 2a7san 3mello ...
