It was indeed a nice DJ set but it wasn't really live. He had some
equipment on stage but hitting the play button on your MPC and
missing and talking into the mic. isn't really a live set, isn't it?
But he his Dj set was brilliant, playing everything from throw and
remake uno till Jazz Funk classics. The last hour of his set he just
started spinng some other tracks.
just thought i give a short review of carl craig's live performance
at paradiso last night.
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY WICKED!!! (...that's probably a bit too short.)
i got there at about half past twelve, and all out k was already
playing some nice deep tunes, and got funkier along the way, playing
a lot of classics ("no ufo's" and some kdj stuff). altogether a
really nice set, ending with blake baxter's "sexuality" (one of my
all-time favorite tracks). after that carl craig started his
performance, i'm not to good on remembering track names, so all i
can say is that he played all of the classics in front of a crowd
that was well into it. i was standing on the side of the dance
floor, and had one hell of a time just looking around the room and
seeing all those people going nuts. by this time i had developed a
huge big smile on me face that stayed there till well in the
morning. after a couple of live tracks, he started spinning a couple
of tunes on the decks. after he'd finished, chris hit the decks
again. can't really say what he played like because i decided to go
upstairs where it was just a little bit hotter (i must have lost at
least three liters of fluids, thank god for all those cold beers).
i don't go to clubs all that often, but this has been one of the
best nights i've ever had. so if carl craig is visiting your town
one day, be sure to check it out!
