the latter. joris voorn is kind of a bore live, imo.
also, just a note: i didn't get to see Matias Aguayo that night in march. i was about to head over to the club when i got a call saying my house had been robbed. apparently, it was fucking awesome.

Never seen either 1 of them but would love to. One of them has new material iirc? Going to see Tensnake myself tonight. Should be great, right? Quite enjoy the 2cd mix. Anyhow, Hercules & Love Affair will be on first, and I loved them last summer.

So, all set to see terrence Parker tonight in Liverpool, been excited for two months, but he's cancelled. Again. Should we still go to the party, a residents party that will either have a defiant 'party on' vibe or resemble a wake? Or should we head down the road for maurice Fulton for a fiver?

anyone has seen ellen allien? how was it? thinking of catching her but heard some bad things about her beatmatching.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Saturday, 2 June 2012 09:32 (eleven years ago) link
idk - i wouldn't have particularly high expectation tho the last time i saw her (2009?) she was surprisingly ok
― coal, Saturday, 2 June 2012 10:47 (eleven years ago) link
anyone ever seen mj cole? how was it?
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Tuesday, 4 September 2012 11:25 (eleven years ago) link
Watching him now. Looks like he doesn't beatmatch at all.

tbf mj cole is more of an urban - ie hip hop / r&b - dj
― the late great, Sunday, 16 September 2012 08:43 (eleven years ago) link
you're right. he played 2step only 50% of the set. even threw some commercial house that I almost couldn't tolerate
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Sunday, 16 September 2012 08:46 (eleven years ago) link
ehm, late great, by "boring" did you mean mj cole or booka shade?
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Sunday, 16 September 2012 08:47 (eleven years ago) link
booka shade
― the late great, Sunday, 16 September 2012 09:04 (eleven years ago) link
It just me, or is it much easier, in the US, to throw 2step into r&b sets than dance sets? I find that they almost always kill the vibe in the latter. I at least have to be playing as much r&b as dance to play 2step at all.

green velvet, yes yes yes
juan maclean, if it's cheap
― Crackle Box, Monday, 15 October 2012 12:25 (eleven years ago) link
The Juan Maclean live is amazing, Juan Maclean is a perfectly competent midtempo techno DJ
― set the controls for the arse of your mum (sic), Monday, 15 October 2012 12:56 (eleven years ago) link
heard some juan's mixes. sound like generic tech-house to me. I'll pass.
what about frankie knuckles? maybe this is a no brainer but he'll be playing to a "mainstream" crowd in a high class club so I have doubts.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 11:40 (eleven years ago) link
Just saw the Hawtin "Beyond EDM" tour, Hawtin was fine. The real disappointment was Kevin Saunderson.
Way too pounding and tracky for my tastes, especially for how early in the night it was.
Gaiser was surprisingly pretty good, better than Hawtin.

It was also fun playing "spot the grumpy old school techno head", they were the guys standing with their arms crossed in the middle of the dance floor.
― Josiah Alan, Sunday, 18 November 2012 08:26 (eleven years ago) link
I was actually really surprised at how hard edged everything was, went in expecting a bunch of M_nus ketted out minimal and got actual banging techno.

anyone has some advice about ben klock? personally I don't think I can stomach his brand of muscle (pun unintended) techno for 3+ hours straight.

Not really into mnml but I saw him play for about an hour at a festival the other year and he was pretty good, even though he was mainly using CDJs but sometimes he played a record, and when he did he would wave it in the air like it was a big fucking deal that he was actually playing vinyl

Sven Vath waves records in the air but there I think it means "whooow I am really fucking high, feel the way the air curves around this and trickles through my fingers, hey I appear to have danced across the stage, where are the decks, I love you"

I have 2 friends who absolutely love Liebing. If you're into 'proper techno' as they like to say, you should love it.

ime he's not going to blow the top of your head off and have you weeping wondrous tears of joy and release on the dancefloor, but he will keep a good mid-tempo boogie happening

"going to blow the top of your head off and have you weeping wondrous tears of joy and release on the dancefloor" - this needs to be in a DJ bio. Love it.

Saw Valentino Kanzyani at Ibiza Underground a couple of years ago. Would definitely see again. Deep, understated, minimal. Plenty of his mixes on Soundcloud etc..

Also Herodot, some of those guys can be severely hit and miss - depends what vibe they are feeling?

Ben UFO, #1 on my DJ wish list, is going to play in a neighboring country. To attend, I will have to spend approx. $250 (all in) and miss my cousin's engagement party. Worth it?
