Yeah production wise there's no arguement he's one of the legends, and his live PA's are pretty special too.
But DJing he does seem to be a little hit & miss. I've seen him absolutely tear it up at Atomic Jam a few times but then I've also seen him have a complete shocker, knocking the needle off the record with his elbow, trainwrecks etc. He's definately a talented DJ, just gets a bit sloppy from time to time.
saw him do a 4 deck, 2 mixer set with james ruskin at the orbit in late 2001, which was totally rocking, but not seen him since. was really good to see the contrast in styles and personalities- slater jumping around like a nutter with a big grin on his face, ruskin much more thoughtful and deep in concentration, permitting himself a small smile whenever he got a particularly good crowd reaction or played a particularly sick tune.
on a related not, saw michael mayer at technique last saturday night and he was surprisingly rocking- absolutely excellent. i was shocked (but very pleased!) when he dropped an old slater track 'surface noise' (from planetary funk vol. 5), think i was the only one in there who recognised it tho :)
the videos on the orbituary of that orbit night with ruskin/slater are mental.
cliche again,but how i miss that place!
where can i see that video>Quote:
