Not sure if your serious
Your comparing a 90's washed up, one hit wonder to someone who's probably played 1000's of times in front of millions of people. He's good. The only difference is, like all Irish song fads, you haven't heard of him as the main stream DJ. He's done far more producing that self producing.
Take Avicii as an example. No one had ever heard of the chap in Ireland. I have a fb message which I sent to a few friends about upcoming tracks and it contained 'Levels' When? August 2010. Has anyone ever listened to his older tracks? I doubt it. He rocketed once it got radio play and some really clever management.
These artists are huge in their own right. Tomorrowland, EDC and Miami Music Week laugh in the face of a 5000 student ball. Attendance combined is probably clear of 200k people. And the videos speak for themselves. The lad is huge in his own right.
Its like word association with monkeys on the Ents page at the moment 'I've never heard of him. Therefore its a crap line up' Just like Oxegen is a crap line up because the Zoo Crew Hot 30 hasn't played any of it. The likes of Alesso, Dmitri Vegas and Like Mike. I'm sure that's meaningless to some people but they are worth every penny to go see.0 -

Fair enough points I suppose, and you seem to know your dance/house music well. but you're forgetting the most important aspect. And this is something that has to be attended to regardless of the Ents officers personal taste...
Chuckie is not a mainstream act, and the majority of the student body listen to main stream music (fortunately or unfortunately)
The headliner should be a main stream , poplular, widely known act that appeals to the greater population of UCD.
Don't get me wrong, I like Chuckie personally and the ents lads must have worked extremely hard to get him at short notice, so kudos in that respect but the bottom line is the majority of the students in UCD wont have a clue who he is, which is a pity.0 -
