Whoa, this is a little out of hand, and quite off the mark... First off I suppose I should have made myself a bit clearer... I was more referring to these guys DJ sets more than their tracks... They all tend to just bang away, and my personal preference, (not saying it's the only way, just the way I like) is a DJ that at least in some way takes you somewhere... Not just pounding through an hour of your life.... Yes the question records are good, I have them all... But Carolla doesn't play like that live... Or at least I have never heard of him playing his deeper slower stuff... My remarks were in response to the idea of these guys not being at the DEMF and I was commenting on their DJing... I love and play alot of those guys tracks... I'm not necessarily knocking all of their production work... Especially their more recent stuff where they have expanded into more than just compressed minimalism... DJ wise they do tend to have the same style/sound... Except maybe Gaetano....
As far as insulting my understanding of the vibe of harder/experimental techno styles, you are just way off the mark... I was heavy into Beyer, Parisio, and the like between the years of 96 and 99... But after a while I just started hearing the same record over and over again... So I started to listen to some different stuff and went back to the classics and more material coming straight out of Detroit again... My knowledge and record collection as far as the Swedish and Italian scenes is quite extensive... I think you may have jumped the gun with your attacks... And as far as the disco house comment... You are just killing me... Yeah i like house that's deep, and some of it has disco samples in it, but look at my Carl Craig collection, or my great admiration for Aril Brikha's work, or my old school freestyle collection, or my Herbert collection that spans the gamet of his work, or my love for latin jazz... Don't make me laugh.... trying to Pigeon-hole me into one type of music is rediculous... The get rich quick aspect of it came from the idea that they were releasing new records at a rate of almost twice a month for some time that sounded the same as the last almost... I understand that that was their genre, and their thing.... it's cool... I wasn't making a personal attack on their character, just an observation... Sometimes people on this list are so touchy... I was not attacking you or your tastes, just making a few comments... - sb One Ear to the Ground Communications http://www.totheground.com (Coming Soon!!) AIM: sbtotheground
