Richie Hawtin vs Aeroplane

I’ve seen both this year, and both were good, but Aeroplane were more fun. Just pick whichever you’re more in the mood for that week?

yeah, man. now it's 60:40 for aeroplane.

wait, "such a joke" is too harsh. "not as good as he's been before" sounds more right.

last time i saw Hawtin, in June, it was pretty jacking.

altho i have seen really boring sets by him too, so...

No offense, but maybe you should make a rolling-should-I-see-this-dj thread? ;)

But yeah, Aeroplane would probably be a lot more fun.

richie hawtin's hair >>> aeroplane

aeroplane >>> richie hawtin

in 2009? aeroplane

but yeah it depends what mood you and your crew will be in that night

i've had some INCREDIBLE nights to both

Yeah but Hawtin there without Villalobos to hold his hand?

this is like choosing between saving my lovely grandpa or my girlfriend in a fire accident.

this is like choosing between stroking yr chin and srs dancing is srs surrounded by boys, and watching lots of teenagers pash and sing along to Paris

No offense, but maybe you should make a rolling-should-I-see-this-dj thread? ;)

I officially eat my words, since I'm in a serious Radioslave vs. Daniel Bell jam this weekend (I'm aware that DB is a better DJ than 99.99% of all others, but there's a lot of factors...).

Can we PLEASE have a moratorium on any and all uses of the chin-stroking vs. hedonistic dancing binary.

But yeah, in 2009, Aeroplane puts it the best.

I didn't say anything about hedonistic dancing! Just what I saw at each of their shows, and the latter was less dancing of any kind than "Oh I totally know this song! Here, taste my tongue" when they opened with Paris.

can the recent Aeroplane monthly mixes be an indicator of how their set would be? because they don't sit quite well with me.

nah, those are just mixtapes for home rather than mixes for the floor

Well, it really depends on what Richie Hawtin's hair is doing these days. If it's designed for home use or for the floor.

it's sternly pointing at the floor, that's for sure

When Richie Hawtin's hair went beardo:

so very, very wrong.

more girls at aeroplane

i've never really enjoyed a richie hawtin DJ set - he has a severe phobia of basslines imo

and by that i mean basslines that last for more than a 1-bar loop

this is good: http://soundcloud.com/r_co/richie-hawtin-tsugi-podcast-100-20-10-2009

if Hawtin's going to play the Wee Papa Girl Rappers while a midget dances on the DJ booth maybe you should choose that?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

My problem with Hawtin's DJ'ing style is his incredibly predictable eq'ing style. His old trick of dropping the bass and then bringing it back some bars later for a cheap crowd pleasing reaction is so very tired. Enough already!

v neck t-shirts are wrong, aren't they?

depends on your looks.

I keep reading this as Richie Havens, which would be a rather different thing.

I've never seen Hawtin, and part of me thinks I'd like to for old time's sake. So Hawtin.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

thanks, guys! i'm gonna see aeroplane!
