The quality and variety of the festival ( Especially
electro) really opened my ears to to some good talent and not
just the majority of those that can just beat match or
produce bangin beats.
Wooo hooooo!!!
That's what the festival is there to do. That made me feel really good to
know.
I'm pretty stoked about the erp joint. The clips on the DL site are
awesome. Love everything vext does. Wanna hear those rush-hour joints too.
Feeling much better now. Heard the iishi set and deleted it after I
finished. It was a good mix, but I'd expected more brill from this guy in
tha d.
UR set is fantastic. Still hurts to listen 'cause I wasn't there. But
that's like picking scabs though, they hurt but you can't stop.
Surprisingly the electro cuts are My favorites (maybe because they sound
so different from the originals). Soooo hot.
Really liked the kenny larkin one. a LOT. Sounds like he was feelin that
ish and he kept a good jacky backbeat rocking under even the more straight
ahead stuff. I'm sure it was nothing compared to the moment. Hot.
Thanks for the sets whoever posted them.
Back to the point though. I will still defend the loop-based stuff, but
the fact is that you really have to work to make that stuff stay
interesting. Most cats don't take the time or put out the effort to make
that happen consistently, and therefore the genre lends itself to more
blandness. The flip to that is that when it is done right and with the
proper care (as I'm sure all here will attest <cough> martin<cough>) the
results can be spiritual with an emphasis on ritual. So if the loop cats
weren't doing their jobs and killing it like they should...well fxck em. I
like the stuff y'all do though (DTM) and the system 23 stuff. And of
course all the old heads you mentioned.
I need recordings from the bunker tent though. Bad. Any smackulator bits?
C'mon pleeeeze?
