I was speaking w/ a hawtin fan about his recent tendencies toward hard repetitive stuff- and they were trying to tell me that he uses the hard stuff to weed people out of the crowd early on- for instance, playing hard banging stuff so that the only people who stay are those that want to just dance to anything and let the dj control them- then after an hour or two he gets into funkier and more fun stuff. i cant really comment because the last couple times i've seen him - i did leave within the first hour :) anyone have any thoughts on this idea? ps- my two cents: hawtin has demonstrated great skills, concepts and innovations consistently over the years in terms of musical output and production techniques, but as far as music at parties, i much prefer the '93 - '96 hawtin than anything i've heard recently. pete > > > Please don't speak about partys you did not attend. > > Sorry, I *was* in attendance for a portion of the night.
