I've had similar experiences with house music DJs both big and small. One of
the only guys I've heard put deepness into a house set was Josh Wink. My
experience is that, generally in the US, people feel that the real deep
stuff is for late night sets from 4 to 6am for smaller crowds and sofa
listening. Everybody wants to "pump up the crowd", as Norman Cook told me
once "Play Up, Up, Up".
Apparently in Finland deep emotinal house (ie Svek, P Town Sounds, Pagan,
Plastic City, etc) is what's played in all the house clubs. Anyone from
Finland or somewhere where the deep sound rules the floor? Care to tell us
about it?

I heard Rick Wade not so long ago and was very disappointed at his
selection
of what was ninetenths generic discoloops with only an occasional deep
house
track like the stuff he produces thrown in. What is it with these dj's who
play such different music to what they produce? I had similar experiences
with Stacey Pullen and Derrick May. It seems like they don't trust the
crowd
will get the deep and challenging tunes, and instead stick with safe and
easy discoloops. When I see someone like Derrick Carter that's what I
expect; but with the Detroit dj's I expect more. And I'm not just whinging,
because I have definitely been treated to the pure and true stuff before:
Jeff Mills and Claude Young come to mind. Maybe it's just the house dj's
who
aren't confident that the deepness is enough....

...Rick subsequently blew me away that night - best set of house I've heard
in a long, long time. With respect to the local DJs who complemented Rick
perfectly and made the whole night the most enjoyable I've had for ages.
