Producing wise he finds a style and rinses the hell out of it then moves on
DJ wise I can't fault the guy, one of the finest dj's working the circuit and everytime i've seen him he's always been on top of his game.
yup theres no denying hes a top class dj.
i love everything he's done.. great dj too.
i find my opinion of his dj sets is the same one i have about his music: i was much more into his sound/style years ago than now.
however, i can't take anything away from the guy--in the end he's a very talented producer and dj.
That sums it up quite nicely.Quote:

Tony summed it up perfectly there i think, as he is a remarkable Dj
how's he suddenly gone minimal?Quote:

seeing all these former prog and cheese djs now playing minimal shit and thinking they've found some "new" sound creases me up.
take james holden for example,the guys on at cocoon this year.....ive heard him play some proper dogshit tunes in the past.Quote:

question 7s still one of the best.

well if u read my post people it was more of a question than a statement, its fair to say Carola has been mentioned as one of those who've geared towards a more minimal sound since everyone kinda got the minimal bug last year, of course people have been doing it or hinting at it for years, but i think it is fair to say Carola has hardly been widely known for doing the minimal until the past couple of years maybe....
dont shoot the messanger, im only going on what i hear from other people as i dont follow Marco's stuff at all, i just get pointed in the direction... like my original post meant, does it mean he's totally ditched the sound he's more so known for, will he does stuff like question 7 etc again? of course i hope he does...
im the first to hold my hands up when i dont know that much about someone so please do correct my assumptions, but ive always been under the impression that there are seemingly a handful of artists who've shuffled in a large way over to the minimal side of things, another i hear it about is Sven Vath, but again i couldnt verify that, not that it needs it of course haha, as he isnt someone i follow or have heard recently......
Thats a pretty bold statement not a question :lol:Quote:

Carola has done minimal techno since the mid nineties, it was just harder then, I don't think he's really a bandwagon jumper either, like was kinda being suggested, however I think he may have graduated fully to the 'lighter' Domino sound for the time being because of where the market/current buzz is, or maybe just because he's feeling that stuff more himself these days. He won't do that forever I'm sure, at least he's not making the rubbish Gadgets does now. To think that Gadgets were minimal kings not so long back, last time I looked Corrado Izzo was doing trance cover versions of The Doors or something :?: :dontevengothere:
Yeah that tune your on about is absolute pants couldnt believe my ears when i checked it out on Juno.Quote:

His productions are top-notch sound quality and well done for what they are, even if you're not into that stuff. Actually I'm pretty positive that Gadgets in the past was Corrado and Marco. That would explain Gadgets being so bad ass in the past. These days its Corrado and Tomie Nevada (for the most part I think, ask henry chow). Again, even if the music's not your thing, Carola's smooth mixing technique is amazing. For the smoother housier stuff he's one of my favorite DJs, despite him being kind of a snobby ass. This new Domino stuff of his isn't really my thing these days, but I thought some of the old Question minimal was very classy.Quote:

I personally love it when he plays house - I'd love to hear him play at basics or some other house night.
Certain members of overload.co.uk hated Marco saying he was too cheesey and would end up playing at 'crasher nights (I think in particular they hated question 7.....)
well that was overload for you, nothing was ever good enough in that place...Quote:

carola is possibly me fave dj.
just never puts a beat wrong. flawless
Gave this a proper listen the other day (having neglected it for a few years) and 3/4 of the tracks on there are storming - will definately be getting more air time on my decks!Quote:

check out his old "design music" label.
quality stuff.
Tube Tech "The End" on Beatdisaster. Can't believe for a second that Izzo was involved with that one. I remember DJ Rush playing it at the orbit and it seemed to kind of make sense at the time..... :oops:Quote:

The otherside has a track which samples the guitar riff from "shine on you crazy diamond" which is actually a good track imho. Carola's been playing that one in the recent past.
