Obviously Dave, your the one who's taking this personally & relating it to DJ's not being able to do anything else. The stereotype comes from the fact of sheer popularization of DJing & the ability for every Mom, Prick & Harry to access what waz once & still can be a very expensive buy in. With popularization comes the inexperienced, the lazy, & the run of the mill. Personally i wouldn't want to trust anyone with my money at the level that the CFP are speaking to other then a certified anything. The funny thing is that it never had anything to do with DJing. The concept was an extreme character type that was transformed & then revealed as whatever they originally looked like. Yes this commercial waz using DJ's as an example, but it easily could have been any profession. & don't say "well your a DJ, you should have thought about that". if i waz being hired by coca cola to promote their shitty money hungry product to help destroy the world, we might have something to talk about. But since it'z just another over saturated career. We seem to be at a place where there's bigger issues to squander over. I for one love all of my careers & have fun entertaining anyone i can reach. If i have offended you in anyway then good. I have reached you & guess what. The company iz now locked in your head. For better or for worse... Bad publicity is still publicity & guess what, when someones friend is a CFP, they can clarify their qualifications to said person in need. & when i'm behind the decks or whatever musical medium, I bring it full force whether it's 5 people or thousands of people. I love my profession & I love the music i choose to play & that's all that matters. Cause my fans & audience know the truth.

We've gone rounds about this on twitter. Just to summarize, sure acting is a gig, but I wouldn't take a gig that I know would put down my other profession. It's not that you're an actor, but that you chose a role that degrades your DJ career and well... you as an actor. After all, that is the point of the commercial: Don't trust a DJ for anything other than DJing.

Dave Richards;
I’m more disappointed with Azmyth Kaminski, because he was willing not just to degrade his own profession but to portray himself as someone who is unprofessional, bad with money and untrustworthy. I hope he enjoys his paycheck from the ad, but I also hope that he rethinks what that ad said about him, his profession and those who are also trying to make it as DJs.

Azmyth;
Dave, Did you read what you wrote above?
You said the word "portray" (= Acting for a paycheck)
So if a Dj takes an acting job, he can't really be a DJ?

Dave Richard;
There are four examples for you. The electronic music industry has been led for years now by DJs who took on other roles,…

Azmyth;
I took on other ROLES so that i didn't have to serve bread ROLLS to every Tom DAVE & RICHARD

Hi Dave, loving the feet reference! I pray that God will use you guys in a new and mighty way to spread the good news and reach the culture that He has placed you in.

Ephesians 6:15 - and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

Romans 10:15 - ...."How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

Hebrews 12:13 - Make level paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

Isaiah 52:7 - How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news,  who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Hey Ant,
I've been meaning to respond to this for almost a week now. Sorry for the delay.

I'm very glad that you are being challenged in your walk. Please don't assume that we are not though. We're each facing challenges in life. Some are directly from God, others as a consequence of our own sin, somebody else's selfishness, or a myriad of other things. The bottom line for us is that God has called us to show love to everyone that we can first and to really focus on building a strong relationship with them. When we have opportunities to share as you are encouraging us to, we do and we don't shy away from it.

We are all different parts of the body and we each play a special role in the kingdom. I know for a fact that in my case and Kevin's we're like the feet or legs, we deal more with foundational support of others. It comes naturally to us and that's what we focus on. That includes prayer, an ear to listen and solid advice - given only after listening.

It's not about who wins the most people to Christ, it's about being obedient to God's will.

Hi Guys,

I've recently been challenged in my Christian walk as to what impact is my life really making for God - how available am I making myself for Him to use me. I was a clubber myself that found God, passed out on the dancefloor of a club - off my head on drugs. All I could do was pray to God that He would help me and save my life.

You guys have such an awesome opportunity to use your gifts to reach out to a truly lost culture and make a real and lasting impact with lost clubbers coming to hear the good news, the only way by which they can be saved.

Here are a few questions you can ask yourself:

-Could it be that the reason I am where I am with a love for this music and culture, is because God has placed me here for a specific reason: to make myself available for Him to work through me for His purposes, not my own.

-Could it be that this is not "just music" but this music has a culture behind it that is desperately in need of Jesus and with hands in the air, they are trying to fill that God shaped hole and just don't know (yet) that it is only Jesus who can fill it (and not the drugs etc.)

-How did I get saved? Chances are that God used someone to lead me to Him. When last did I make myself available to God to lead someone else to Him?

Guys, I encourage you to seek God on this, spend a few quiet times with Him and pray for Him to reveal His heart and will for your life. I pray that God ignites you with a passion and a burden for this culture and to see His light shone into its darkest corners where desperate clubbers are in dire need of His touch.

Ant

Dave, I often feel that "Christian Music" is used more as a marketing term or genre than something that describes that actual music. But also we do not call ourselves a "Christian Dance Music" label. Dave, Kevin, and I are all Christians, we follow Jesus to the best of our human abilities and hope to get it right as often as we can, in doing so we know that we are called to love the lost and reach out to them. We definitely always want to use our gifts that God has given us in the way he designed them to be used.

That may mean that we write a rockin' praise dance song that glorifies God and what he's done for us. But it also may mean writing a song that has no lyrics that is just fun. There are things in life that are meant to just be fun. That's where I stand on this.

But that being said, we have released a few songs that have lyrics which would be considered Christ focused. Dima's "Great White Throne" is an obvious example. We also have released KriSand's "This Is The Time" and on our Sounds of Summer EP, we have a track by Ryze called "The Saints" which is kind of a play on the classic song.

We definitely appreciate you checking us out and hope you enjoy our releases and podcasts.

Thanks,
Chris

Who's calling it Christian? I'm not. It's just a DJ mix to shake your ass to. You know, Dance to. It's a mix of about 20 songs from 20 artists that have views that I have no clue about. I mixed 'em up to bang out of your speakers real loud. Flashing lights and fog help increse the effect. There is no message. It's dance music.

Re: Broken Arrow – Episode 4 – Jeremy Kadinger

Dave — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 19:38:19 -0000

I have only listened to the first few tracks so far and think they are awesome, but I have to agree with Ant's comment below about the lack of message and thus reason for calling it Christian dance music. If I had to play this to my non-Christian friends they wouldn't know the difference which is good in the sense that Christian music is finally current, but it needs to set itself apart and be undeniably Christian. Good work tho guys. Would love to hear your thoughts?

Re: Broken Arrow – Episode 4 – Jeremy Kadinger

The DJ — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 19:32:55 -0000

Christ lives in Christians not in songs. The thought "kosher music" comes to mind. I use to be a dishwasher at a restaurant. Did I make my clean dishes "Christian dishes"? No. I was Just doing what I was doing. When I was a carpenter did I make Christian houses? I Don't even consider religious trips like this any more. Be free in Christ, life is better that way.

Ant — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 05:50:22 -0000

Hi there, listened to your mix - some great tracks and mixing. I found the link on Tastyfresh and was hoping for a mix that somehow had a gospel message at its centre that would shine Christ's light and God's message of hope into any dark place (or club...) in a way that was relevant and powerful, yet fitted right in with the trends and standard of current 'secular' tracks.

If that message isn't worked in somehow, then is there any point to Christian dance music?

Any thoughts?

Hopefully it won't die... Circuit Breaker is still by far my favorite. I'd offer to help, but I'm not DJ by any means. 8^D

Hahahahaha... no. This episode was one LONG comedy of errors. Kevin and I are in talks about CircuitBreaker though. It's not dead... yet.

Hey guys! Loved the Podcast! You've got a really talented lineup for your label.

Kevin, was there a little sneak peek released at the beginning there? You said this was Episode 6 of Circuit Breaker. Is CB moving over here potentially 8^D

Regardless, keep up the excellent work with the label and thanks for keeping the podcast going!
