**FORCE 5** · 22-08-2003, 01:15 AM

mmmm now im gonna sound like a twat

but to be honest ive heard of him being one of the pioneers of techno...but cant say ive heard any of his tunes(perhaps i have but i couldnt point it out).

hes down here in NZ next month and im just wondering what sort of sound to expect out of him...and is it worth a 4hr drive to go and see him or not?

hmmmmmmmmm im gonna throw in my two cents and will probably get myself killed.
What saunderson has done for techno is great! Hes done some great pieces over the years.
In terms of would i go to see him for a 4 hour drive, not at all. I think his sound is quite boring. Detroit techno doesnt take me to the level that it used to i guess.

Pauze

**DJPAUZE** · 22-08-2003, 04:13 AM

Saunderson isn't really doing it for me at the moment.

**tioneb** · 22-08-2003, 07:36 AM

the remix on zenit is very good imo.

as dj suanderson spins great tunes, expect **** and slamming trakcs with detroit influence... a bit in the derrick may style, but aless dynamic =)

If you go see Kevin Saunderson, that 4 hour drive will be the highlight of your day, imo.

Nah dude - you're thinking of The Prodigy! :D

*waits for flamefest*

**Esox Lucius** · 22-08-2003, 10:28 AM

if you want good detroit sheeeeet, check out DJ Bone.

**tioneb** · 22-08-2003, 10:47 AM

yeah dj bone really rocks. ive been told rolando is very good too.

that wont replace the funky may and mills ;o)

**Esox Lucius** · 22-08-2003, 10:49 AM

I would rather see Bone or Suburban Knight over Mills or May anyday.

**kROKar** · 23-08-2003, 04:21 PM

well they dont really play the same music actually .. mills and ma play more tribal stuff...

heard pennington at UR night @ rex in may ... he was good but the night was special ... i guess he doesnt have often mad mike playing the keyboards behind him while he plays

**Angrymann** · 25-08-2003, 03:53 PM

Saunderson and May together on four decks was one of the best things I have ever seen. Two blokes that know exactly what the other is going to do. It was really good to watch.

I don't dig their production stuff , but you can tell it's been well thought out though , not just tracks for the sake of tracks.

**Buttman** · 25-08-2003, 06:57 PM

Does Inner City ring a bell? It was Saunderson's commercial project. Quite hard hitting at the time.

**mpeee** · 21-12-2003, 12:54 AM

. :dontevengothere: ...you are full of shit!!!sorry about that but saunderson might not be the right dj for all of you,but at least so a little respect to KEVIN SAUNDERSON!

**MARKEG** · 21-12-2003, 12:57 AM

i love kevin saunderson.. were it not for him, we wouldn't be here now.

you simply have to respect the innovators and saunderson was one of the three.

**The Overfiend** · 22-12-2003, 07:15 AM

You need to respect him. My man was playing hard techno when some of us were playin with transformers.

**Agent Orange NYC** · 22-12-2003, 03:04 PM

Yes much respect to Saunderson. He has played twice here in NY this month. The first time at Christian Smith's, Tronic Treatment party, where he blew the roof off with lots of Detriot classics and even some newer tribal techno. And this last saturday with Misstress Barbara were he was ok, but catered to the crowd which was very housey.

Very nice guy. My only issue would be his mixing could be a bit tighter.

Then again, IMO I've never heard a smooth DJ from Detroit ;) . Don't kill me for that one, I'm not saying everybody, just the more popular one's Atkins, May, Mills. All great tunes, but all rough dj's. Just my opinion after seeing them all at least 6+ times. Agent O.

**professor** · 22-12-2003, 04:30 PM

I'm not sure Detroit Techno dj's are really concerned about being tight the whole time. It's like they are teetering on the edge of wrecking all the time...and that's what adds to the tension and dynamic. All this aside from the fact that some of them mix a record every minute or so. AND beat match on the fly, full volume.

guess it's just part of the style.

**Sam_Horam** · 23-12-2003, 11:31 PM

Never had the chance to see him play...

But the guy is a legend...

So much good music he's made...
