[QUOTE="Jonno, post: 156393, member: 5"] Just sat here listening to Recca's mix from the last Timeless. Great mix but it's spoilt by the MC. It got me thinking - What really is the point of MC's? All they seem to do is shout garbage basically. "Yeah, yeah, yeah", "C'mon", "big shout goin out" etc, etc, etc, etc. I can't remember MC's anywhere up north in the early days - not Monroe's, not Quandrant Park, not Sequins, not anywhere. I certainly don't recall ever hearing an MC at any Warehouse do. Everyone went to places to hear the music - not some idiot on the mic shouting out the first thing that comes into their head (which is all MC's seem to do). MC's were one thing that the rest of the dance scene, quite rightly, seemed to turn it's back on from about 93 onwards - thank f*ck. Apart from old skool. The ironic thing is MC's only became big on the oldskool scene when it was oldskool (i.e. the tunes were old), up North anyway. Tunes don't need MC's - I'm fairly sure whoever wrote the tracks didn't think to themselves "I hope someone shouts out nonsense while this is playing in clubs". MC's just detract from the quality of a track. I say - bring back the original vibe - no F*ckin MC's. Rant over. [/QUOTE]
