Does anyone know of any local (313) shows he's to be playing @? I've been in CA for the past couple yrs. and haven't picked up any flyers in a while.

I've never seen him give less than 110% in a set (though I'm sure every DJ has their 'off' nights, I've just never caught him on one of his). I've said this before on 313, but even when Claude plays harder/bangin trax (which is quite often) he just just soaks them in funk with his mixing style, he adds the soul with his mix hands even if the records themselves are intrinsically lacking it by themselves. YOu kind of have to see/hear him in the mix to understand. I realize it sounds a little corny, but it's true. He can make even the stiffest pounders funky by what he does with them, the overlays, the faders, the cut-n-scratch and pauses, drop-ins, etc. Everything to Claude is a hotmix tool. I guess in some ways that's why I can stomach the harder Mills DJ sets, for the same reasons... they're hard but still funky funk funk. That's the only kind of hard techno set I'll go out to see anymore, if an agressive/funky DJ is playing them. I realize how spoiled I was being by Detroit, seeing some of the gigs I happened to catch.... cheers, Matt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
