WARNING! Fake-ass DJ # 2!

So let me introduce to you the biggest DJ poser in Sweden: "DJ" Levis. This guy takes the crown. To get the full picture of this guy we have to back about a year ago. Me and two other guys (Bell and Bobby) we're running Club Soft. Bell heard of this guy called DJ Levis that supposedly opened for Kanye West at a big festival out here called Way Out West (that's funny, I was there and there was NO DJ warming up before Kanye, lie # 1 many more to come).

Since we embrace new blood in the DJ scene, we wanted Levis to spin at Club Soft. That particular night I wasen't in Gothenburg, I had a show in Malmö. But this is what happened. Levis shows up (carrying only a couple of cds, big warning sign right there) and the plan is to let him spin in the beginning of the night so that we can check out how he spins. When Bobby asks him to start playing some slow tracks his reply is: I only have 130 bpm songs. He didn't mention anything about any artist he only said that he has 130 bpm songs. Bobby was a little astonished by his answer but though "fuck it" and so he startedt to spin. After a while the people were droppin' in and so Bobby told Levis to start spinning.

He got up (all nervous n' shit) but proceeded to start playing. Bobby went down to the bar to listen to his set. And so the shit got started! The music was commercial (one beat mixed with a thousend accapellas type-a-shit, The Voice stylee) as fuck but that wasen't the problem. The problem was that it sounded too perfect (Bobby has been a DJ for 15 years so he knows that it is IMPOSSIBLE to do accapella switch ups that fast). So he went upstairs to the DJ booth and stood behind Levis. What he saw was down right shocking: he saw that Levis was playing mixtapes! Because he could hear the mix but he didn't see him actually mix two records. He was twisting the knobs acting like is mixing!

So Bobby got pissed off and told him to stop playing. When Levis asked him why he told him that what he was doing was FUCKED UP. This is the weird part, he confessed that he was playing mixed cds, he just said that was the way he does it. What??? So Bobby tried to explain to him what DJ:ing was all about. From what Bobby told me he kinda got it at first but as soon as the conversation was over he was like. "fuck that, I gonna keep doing my thing".

So what this guy is basically doing is DJ:ing playback. On top of that he is lying about opening for Kanye West. He is lying about opening for The Game (he even wrote that on his own blog!). And his is lying about warming up for Chris Brown. There are NO pictures at all of him doing any of these things he so eagerly claims.

Basically this guy has made up his whole DJ carrier with lies. And the icing of the cake? Levis is giving out DJ lessons! What possbile can this guy teach? How to be FAKE?? He's is constantly bragging how he gets show but if people (and promoters) knew the truth he wouldn't get a single show. Who they fuck wants to pay somebody for playing mixtapes? Just download a mixcd and let your grandma stand behind the decks.

This is a recent blog post the so called "DJ":

"Såg på vägen hem från stan att flyers för fredagens fest var uppe överallt! Alltid kul att se mitt vackra ansikte pryda Göteborgs Stad =)

Jag fick även höra att jag var så grym idag med att hantera alla DJ-intresserade (wannabes) att jag ska börja lära ut för GBGs DJ Skola också! Då lär jag ut på två ställen varje vecka, vad snäll jag är va?

Det är så roligt att se alla intresserade som frågar hur man anmäler sig och sen när dom får höra hur mycket det kostar så blir dom heeeltointresserade på en sekund! OBS! Detta gäller blattarna då, suedis har ju pengar så dom är det lugna puckar med! Men så fort blattarna hör orden "det kostar" så blir dom ointresserade och försöker slingra sig ur på en gång!

Well well, vissa DJ's får knappt någon spelning alls, medans andra knappt vet hur de ska hinna från en spelning till en annan mellan städerna! Hahaha =)".

And to all of you who think I am jelaous or mad because he gets shows I'll tell you this: if this is what people consider a DJ is, if people don't see the difference between what we are doing and fakers like Levis, then I rather stop playing today. I gave my heart and soul to DJ:ing, only to see it getting abused of people who don't even like music. They love the fame and the attention they get but that's it.

I hope that people will take a stand against these fuck and by looks of it they already do. Ya'll are not dumb, ya'll know that there are fake imposters in all genres of music (especially in hiphop). But next time you see them, let them know what you think. I will. And to all you who think that I'm full of shit, go to the clubs and stand behind these so called "DJs" and see for yourself.


DJ lessons anyone? The story behind this is that there is a female DJ that calls herself DJ Shy (out in LA). The REAL DJ Shy got alot of bullshit from people who confused him with the LA DJ Shy because they heard her DJ sets (she can't mix for shit). He decided to put this video out =)
