Fergies good cos he plays techno now and that's cool!

**DJZeMig_L** · 31-07-2003, 10:48 AM

right right ... sorry! :)

Still techfunk02 I would say that Umek is a track machine... he can't help it he's just like that, doesn't matter how many tracks u do 'cause like any producer he has good tracks and bad tracks, it's inevitable ... especially because he's not just grabbing a formula and changing a few bits.. he has created his formula and keeps reinventing... he can dig up synth sounds that r just

... honestly just listen 2 his non-loopy stuff... even the more transy sounding stuff is good if u like progressive/ techno transe (I have a few friends that r tech/ progressive transe djs and they all rate highly his produtions)... I would love 2 b able 2 b good at everything/ style I do!! ;) sure I won't like some of his stuff particularly the 1s following these avenues but still bloody he**.

Also he's not affraid of crossing styles/ bounderies ... even if I don't like the results, in my book that's good 'cause that keeps bringing fresh elements, new views, new ways, ... He could easily stick 2 a formula a keep doing the same... but he's not affraid of doing what ever he feels like...

Some of his older stuff is hard as nails but I hate the Recycled Loop sound ( sorry I always seem to moan about shit , I am just being honest , not disrespectful!!).

As for his dj skills , he is a brillaint mixer , whether you like what he plays or not.

As for the bloke himself. My brother met him outside a hotel in Edinburgh and happened to ask him if he knew what the England V Slovenia score was. When the boy answered my brother clocked who it was and asked him up to the house for a shot on the decks. He went along and even showed my brother a few of his wee tricks on the Allen & Heath. So to me he is a decent down to earth bloke.

He does spend a lot of time away from Slovenia too because he get's mobbed all the time. If he was an arse or a "Superstar" style dj he would just stay and milk it for all it was worth.

Just my tuppence worth.

Oh and HAPPY DAYS is a Belfast phrase and has **** all to do with commercialism!!!! Not that I love Fergie , but I do like Irish folk.

Yeah he has got turntable skills, but it isn`t always how tight your mixing is or what skills you can do, what you play is more important, imo.

**Angrymann** · 31-07-2003, 01:30 PM

I suppose your right in a way , but would you listen to someone who has all the best tracks but the mixing sounds like a fat bastard falling down the stairs.

I prefer to hear good tunes myself , that's why I wouldn't go and see Umek at the moment , but his skills are unquestionable

I think a mix of both would be ideal.

"fat bastard falling down the stairs"

Ha ha that made me laugh :lol:

**Angrymann** · 31-07-2003, 01:42 PM

I must be far too over critical of my own mixing. Everyone seems to not mind mistakes as long as the tunes are good and there aren't too many mistakes. If I even hear an off beat in my mixing I feel the need to inflict some pain on myself , like grabbing a handfull of pubes and tugging very hard.

I think I need to chill more and let myself fall down the stairs occasionaly.

**Esox Lucius** · 31-07-2003, 01:48 PM

:lol:

Obviously I like to see dj`s with good skills, but if I am in a club I mainly just want good music and I don`t mind the odd mistake.

well i still enjoy listening to m-zone! (private joke for those who a familiar with hard trance, only joking mate)

i think what you play & how it is programmed is far more important than technical ability, a lot of mainstream djs can mix rather tightly, but they play a load of shit, does that make them great djs?

and beyond that passion/love, understanding, and respect for the music you play outshines anything mentioned previously....or maybe im just a jealous bastard who cant mix!!! :lol:

**Angrymann** · 31-07-2003, 02:40 PM

Aye but we're not talking about ***** anymore , so what's the problem. Just don't bother reading it if it ****s you off that much.

It's like the folk that pick you up cause you have gone off on a different tangent. What's the point!!! Chill

I hate that, it always happens on another board I go on, well over the top.

**Patrick** · 31-07-2003, 03:33 PM

I like to watch fat bastards falling down a stairs while listening to good tunes well mixed.
