actually i find all of the bile directed at guetta and fedde le grand pretty laughable. what did people want? that he'd play an hour of deepchord and omar s records? isn't that just the flipside of being that boring angry guy who just graduated from high school and spends his time sneering at anything that's not underground metal. hell, that's just the flipside of being alex in nyc!

you're gonna need a bit more than cargo shorts & a fruit of the loom w/ a famous black musician screened on the front to compete with that

I agree...also "Big Fun" and "Good Life" were probably dismissed back then for the exact same reasons people dismiss Fedde and Guetta now.

Fedde's "Let Me Think About It" was one of the best tunes from last year, if only all 2007 electro-house tracks were so fun!

I haven't listened to any of his records. I remember that night a really fat girl came up to me and asked me if I had a girlfriend and I lied and said yes and she said "oh it's just that my pal thought you were cute" and her friend was hot. Who the hell gets their friends to approach people after the age of 12 or so?!
hot chicks who dont want to hook up with shallow dudes

For Energy Flash, I was interviewed by Robert Elms on his GLR show, and during a desultory interrogation, with one eye kept on the Test Match playing on a little TV above the studio console, the former doyen of the style bibles opined that as far as he was concerned, house and techno had been the death of the British working class's love affair with black dance music. Like everybody else from a certain mid-Eighties moment in style culture/London clubland, Elms seemed to have imagined that rare groove/"the jazz revival"/go-go should have just have extended itself in perpetuity: a Thousand Year Reich of refinement and righteousness.
Elms's inability to accept house and techno as "proper black music" (let alone all the things that followed like jungle and 2step), then gets weirdly echoed by your Terry Farley types who went a bit further than Elms, falling in love with deep house, but stops there. Read his house review column in Muzik and you sniff the tell-tale neo-mod whiff of "we are the custodians", signaled by phrases like "proper black dance music" and "this is real black house music for those who know". Then there's Kirk DeGiorgio with his historically confused insistence that Detroit techno came entirely out of black synth-exponents like Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, and Bernie Worrell, and owed not one whit to Kraftwerk/New Order/Depeche. DeGiorgio operates some kind of web-site project dedicated to documenting early Seventies black music year by year down to every last record released---so far as he's barely got to 1971!.
it never ends.

i'm not sure i can really get into fedde - aside from PYHUFD - but i'll rep for guetta. he's like the perfect compromise between near-perfect OTT US testosto-house (think subliminal or murk) and that really awesome euro stuff that toes the line between prog & electro house (guy gerber, steve angello, etc)

great debate
― Ronan, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 08:45 (sixteen years ago) link
the worst thing about guetta is how he credits his creepy wife on each album and how she appears in press photos doing extra-creepy things like touching his bare chest with her press-on nails. they're stunningly ugly, too.

the last month and a half or so mildly boring / uncreative i thought
I loved Derek Plaslaiko's mix. Was I the only one who did?
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 09:06 (sixteen years ago) link
Vahid you never told me whether you liked AXWELL'S "I FOUND U"??!?
Also has anyone outside of Australia heard THE POTBELLEEZ'S "DON'T HOLD BACK"??!?
I'm half tempted to spend all my time championing stuff like this just to get away from all the dance music pietism that seems to be number one meme of 2008.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 10:18 (sixteen years ago) link
It is fairly popular in NZ Tim (The Potbelleez/Aussie Electro house imports). Please stop sending them over.
I thought Pole's RA was great. Tomorrow, on the bus, I will listen to Ilar.

when derek was in Pittsburgh he played some Rob Hood, Moodymann, G-Man, etc. far better than that podcast.

In fact, Ronan, now you live in London you should be all over this shit.
Well, listening to Anders Ilar now it's great. I love this kind of music, although the mixing isn't all it could be. Heh, and I'll point out that I only did a cursory skim of the saunderson mix, haven't listened to it yet.

i'm really skeptical of mixes featuring 90% of the artist own material.
(unless the artist is daft punk obv.)
any guesses for who's on deck for RA #100?
― The Macallan 18 Year, Monday, 21 April 2008 16:13 (sixteen years ago) link
My guess is Luciano (and I wouldn't be surprised it it was a lifted live performance), then Carl Craig. I have a feeling they asked Ricardo first, but he would turn it down.
― mehlt, Monday, 21 April 2008 16:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I like Luciano's live mixes more than his mix albums so that would suit me just fine.
