poor old dave
get well soon eh?
no good being "ill" or indeed "sick"
Best techno dj on the planet for me, completely different style to everyone else which makes it so good.
I agree he can sometimes have off days but so can anyone else. His sets at Pukkelpop, Voodoo NYE and TITP have easily been my 3 favourite sets of the last year. The guy is a legend.
Loving his new radio show as well, anyone else been taking a listen?
bloody hell,dave clarke in appreciation thread.
im amazed.
its usually doom and gloom from posts ive seen about him in the past.
give yourself a jammy dodger.
You must have missed my posts. :)
I'll still take a biscuit though...
well you can't have one, you always make too many crumbs in here :lol:Quote:

i seen him 5 times and ever time i ave seen him i was disappointed. i like his records he brings out (sometimes).
maybe he was better before i started listen to techno. but imo he is the most overrated dj on the planet
Works best in the right environment.
Courtyard at Bugged Out he was king
Always loved seeing him play the Volks in Brighton - worked best in smaller more charged atmospheres. Suited his style.
Aggressive mixing can get a bit lost on stadium techno
Your not wrong jay, he owned the courtyard for years. Heard some ridiculous sets of his in there. Blew everyone away.
Try the World Service sets, or Dave Clarke Fuse (don't know the year) - that is a quality CDQuote:

Some strange comments in here, like him or not he has undeniable djing skills, truely, truely awe inspiring at times. Music aside, the guy has to be one of the best dj's in the world and has been for many years. Totally different style to Sims, pretty much non comparable. Clarke couldnt layer it like Sims on 3 decks, just the same as Sim's couldnt play quite as brutal and effective as Clarke on 3. I say that after seeing both around 40 times over the past couple of years, both are in a league of their own but for totally different styles and reasons.
Ruskin for me is kinda the perfect balance between them, alot more aggression and variation than Sim's, but 100% perfect on 3 decks or more
I defy anyone not to listen to his award winning essential mix (cant remember the date, but peeps know the one) and not be dumbfounded. It is truely, truely stunning

Not been a big fan of Ruskin DJing. Music kind of too... gay?
As a producer he is in top 3 though.

i listened to WS2 didnt like it at all
fair enough. ok check out this sample, its from world service 1 techno cd. Bailey & Redhead's 'watch out' mixed into Beltrams 'Metro'..Quote:

The thing that intrigues me is how does he come from a bangin track like 'watch out' and just slam in a track like 'Metro' without loosing any energy and keep everything moving forward if u know what i mean. A crossover like this shouldn't work as well as it does. How exactly did he do this crossover? That's what i'm trying to find out. As mentioned before in this thread it's that hip hop style of scratchin in a track, but i find this technique extremely hard to do with techno because you can loose your energy so easliy (especially in the hi frequency range). DC (when he wants to) can pull off this technique 99 times out of 100 (when he's not doing his cheesy djm fx tricks). The risk factor of this technique i find so much greater than your standard beat mix.
p.s. i'm at home sick ATM drinking vodka so if this post makes no sense i apologise :)
damn the link didn't work. my computer skills suck! Hopefully this works...
http://www.snapdrive.net/files/96116...r%20sample.mp3
probaly the vodka take its toll. i like does choons but i dont like the mix .

bloody hell that was a quick reply. i just hit the submit button.....
