Damn, why is everybody on here so down on Beyer ? I didn't find his set particularly "psycho-hard". I saw him at Motor then I played with him the next night in Pittsburgh. He plays the typical European way, very driving and forward-moving. No build-ups or breakdowns. He does it on three decks, too, with tons of white labels and acetates. You don't know when one record comes in and another goes out. Very smooth.
The funk is where you find it. I get sick of people crying about it. Slow doesn't mean "funky". Ask Bad Brains or Living Colour. Or Jeff Mills. It just seems to me that, in the case of listers on the Internet, if it isn't some chin-stroking, black-turtleneck-and-beret, Mouse on Mars/Chain Reaction shit, people are quick to dis. Give it a rest. I like Kit Clayton and Stacey Pullen, Adam Beyer and KDJ. Love all, serve all. a.
