As for his releases, i think tunes like 'la sala loca' and 'learning how to do it' are quality! Yeah they're big 'athemic' riff lead tunes but you need a bit of that now and then. AS for being like hard house - well no, hard house is trying to be like techno - where do you think they get all their ideas from! Got his mix Cd on intec and i reckon its pretty good. starts off a bit proggy and 'melow' and perhaps there aer too many 'anthems' one after teh other towards the end but i'm pretty happy with it. He's a good lad i reckon - go valentino!! :o)

Valentino's music may not be everyones cuppa but its stil decent, well produced music.

saw him play several times,,and it was ok,. i had fun,,even i wouldn't call this style funky techno,,probably house or stuff like that,..
i'm not into his style,-it sounded really boring,,but have to say other people were nutz and girls went ***... heh., i dont like his production but there is bunch of people out there who'll say ,.it's ace,.
oh, please :nono: all he did so far is a result of his own talentQuote:

All these appregiated synth parts and obvious progressions and stuff.
Yeah, it does the job but there`s something distinctly weak about it to my ears, and it doesn`t seem to have any feeling.
It`s the lift music side of techno to me.
So I think there is a good side and a bad side to it.
odd, i dont remember saying everything has to be nails?Quote:

at the end of the day, the guy is doing well enough to be playing at big european fesitvals like dance valley...dont think anyone can knock him for that...i wouldnt mind being in his position thats for sure!

Stop bigging yourself man. I dont like either of your stuff but dont feel the need to bitch or bragg. Just an observation.
