I asked Carola about it last time I saw him and he said, "Oh, he isn't doing much right now." (well...no sh!t, that's why I was asking)
Does he still play out in Europe much? He used to make some really cool older records. The first couple Southsoul's were nice as well but they got kind of predictable/stagnant after a while.
In 2006 he made two eps (mp3 & 12"), but I would like to hear some new ART releases, like that label.
he did some superb stuff earlier on in his career definately, and i "Pain 23" was a kind of unofficial anthem at Atomic Jam for a good few years. Usually comes back with a few releases now and then, but yeah he did get a little predictable
his albums were all wicked
top club stuff.
his debut on planet rhythm was a path-showing record for me!!!

Defo. His early Gaetek stuff was great.Quote:

Still love Art 9 and the 1999 ep he did on Drumcode.
Also C&G Southsystem stuff with Carola was rough.
he is one of my fav producers! .... he was on at dance valley this year ...was'nt into his set tbh... but still a great producer
DEFFINATLY!!!Quote:

southsoul records were splendid, the ones i have are wicked wicked wikkidy wicked
Yep, you're right. Pain 23 didn't stand anywhere near his best work. It had a bit of get up and go alright, but didn't have the same edge as other earlier stuff.
Didnt care for the Pain 23 as much as I did his Planet Rhythm or his Art material especially.
proper ass funk....love his CLR 01 remix! the red one i think.. dum dum cha wing bah wubi - dang
they all sounded exactly the same to me.. tight loop, filter break, kick back in.. repeat til snooze lol
top notch but with no width of style.. then again, ya could say about a whole heap of producers.. spesh Sims who's trax i foookin adored..
heard him dj once in belfast. 150 minutes of Gaetek records.. really let down. he was tight, but.. went nowhere if ya catch me.
ahm.. they were all red.. ;)Quote:

yeah.. i had several ARTs.. had 2 of 006 i liked it that much for doubles.
i guess his Southsoul stuff was a lil different.. but on the whole, he ws kinda one trick.. good trick though :)
Huh?
Did I miss something?
no. :lol:Quote:

Funny I just asked the same question on my blog. I saw a guy that looked like him having dinner last weekend. Didn't go up to him though.
you should of, and asked him what he was up to. You'd of either got a good reply, or a funny look. Either way still good :)

oh god...
"Adagio will be a more sophisticated crossover between electronic and microhouse stuff"
OH NO ANOTHER ONE :D
(
gaetano's stuff was never anything "moving techno forward", twas just crowd-moving clubby techno. i liked some of it though, conform 3/14/15, pain 23, drumcode 19/22,5. early southsoul stuff was classy techouse with no ambitions, which worked miracles on the floor.
always liked him more than carola, less than beyer.
i think 'concept k' from that kosovo compilation is the only track of his i'm still playing.
microshit....everyone........just everyone..............
maybe it's time to stop moaning about it huh? stop giving a shit if it's micro or not and give it a listen?
The amazing irony in this is there's a mediocre sized micro label called Orac, which is the like the epitome of boring clicky clacky music. :)Quote:

He never made any mindblowing music but some of it was good and very danceable.
I saw him play a few good sets in Toronto over the years. :)
the tracks on his myspace suck.
essence you were always moaning and yes, i gave it a listen, i dont like it ok, but i dont believe that so many producers are making it. its like "oh now i will start to produce this, i will follow the rest". i dont get it.
@ dustin, hehe you're right
ok i wont moan. long live minimal. hangover mode on. :hammered:
so many producers are making it and got into totally. rest can't miss any oportunity to say how much they hate it and how much it ruins techno.
You know how you see somebody and they look familiar and it isn't till later that you realize who it was? That was the case there. Didn't put a name to the face till later ;)Quote:
