You know, I keep hearing about Mills trainwrecking and I don't get it.
When I saw him -- and in listening to any live set I've heard, there
are
moments when somethings drifting a bit and he catches it. That's not
a sneaks in the dryer train wreck, that's just human. Who cares?
What kind of anorak cares if mixing is 100% perfect? Mills was never
about
that anyway ... I'm envisioning a bunch of trainspotters who look like
Comic Book Store Guy from the Simpsons standing around scratching
their butts.
WTF?
Exactly. People who don't know how to enjoy the tunes,
or how to enjoy themselves.
When I'm out and listening to a dj play, do I stand there and
wait for her/him to make a mistake? NO! I listen to whathowhen
s/he plays a tune, and if I can relate to that, and if it gets me
to shake my butt. To scratch it, I don't need music or a dj.
A dj who makes me move on the dancefloor, wins.
Whether s/he has the skills of Jeff Mills or not.
