my gripe was that the set didnt really go anywhere.. the first tune could have been his last tune.. no flow to it.. just a single level all the way

BUT there was some guy playing live supporting him Brian Sanhaji... now he impressed me.. minimal yet not too much so.. lovely funky techno with nice drops and builds.. one of the best warm-up sets i've ever seen..

anyone know anymore of his stuff?

I heard liebing play when he hadn't gone minimal and was still hard and again when he was kinda inbetween, more funky. He never was my favorite dj, tbh. I really did enjoy his 3 decks action years ago at fusion club münster. sweat was dripping from the ceiling! always smiling like a madman :)

i loved his u9601 (whatever its called) no. 4 double cd..

the first is kinda funky minimal and the second is hard techno.. really really good range of styles.. thats kinda what i was expecting on saturday.. not the snorefest i got..

but like i said above.. something good came of it - i found a new artist.

just to even the balance about the actual gig.. it has to be said that the kids loved it, so he's obviously doing something right along the way.

Brian Sanhaji has been around for a few years, has done some great records, and some not so great, nice varied productions too at times, havent had the chance to see him live though, sounds wikid

HAHAHAHA...you shoulda heard him in 1999 at Interstellar Dreamfest in the middle of nowhere midwest USA. he pounded us into an oblivion for like 3-4 hours. it was relentless, hard and twisted.

i do miss those days...

i listened to a local dj here playing "mnml"
and it sounded like them mnml snobs got bored
with klick klack all the night
seems like this mnml hype need more technoid
sound .and it is starting to sound more old school
techy

On the subject of Ritchie ever being "banging" I recently dug out a promo cassette I have (how old school is that) nice plus 8 art work and everything from when he first visited the UK back in '92 ish and that is absolutely savage near enough 140-150 bpm the whole way through if I get a chance I will digitize it and wack it online somewhere.

please do:;

yeah, would be great to hear that

Got to agree Hawtins set on Saturday was ****ing phenomenal. Gaisers' live set was sounding pretty sweet before hand but RH cranked it up a good few notches. The first half hour or so was absolute mayhem, crazy disjointed minimal glitchy sound effects flying at you from all directions, delayed vocal clips building and building into chaotic crescendos all built on a foundation of the deepest sub bass I've ever heard. There was nothing minimal sounding about it.

Hawtin can do this with minimal because he's ****ing amazing but I wonder if there are many others out there who can create such devestation using only minimal? Deetron was wicked too but played much more clubby techno.

saw hawtin up in newcastle on fri just gone - superb, chunky minimal techno - a was a bit of a surprise loads more punch and drive than i thought he would play, was impressive!

Sounds like a decent line up. Who else was on?

my mates saw him in leeds at technique on sunday and said he nailed it big time too!

He's been playing one of my tracks, which I'm over the moon about.

what track? lets hav a mooch

cool, nice one jay:cool:
