Kevin saunderson??

[Esox Lucius]

he has made some excellent tracks in his time & ran an excellent label in KMS, I have nothing but respect for the man, not a bad dj too.

All great tunes, but all rough dj's.

Maybe that's what makes them exciting...
Forget the planned seamless mix practiced in the bedroom, wacking in the tunes that are right for the crowd at the time, that's what makes it exciting..
goes back to the old conundrum, what would you rather hear, boring records mixed seamlessly or interesting records slapped together...

Good Call.

IMO- I'd rather hear a intresting mixes put together smoothly.
the only exeption should be 3 decks at once

dj bone is good but he plays the same set over and over and over again. kevin saunderson and derrick may have much more variety now a days even though may used to play the same set over and over and over again :-p kms and mayday did a 2x4 tour a year or 2 ago and i must say it was spectacular!!!!!!!

And because of this i get the real techno kinda feeling.

But if you see a european dj do this the people are always nagging about how many mistakes the guy makes... they now even do this with the Detroit guys..... I wonder why the people over here always want to hear a tight mix.

saunderson is the SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!


as for his older tracks...look for names like innercity, edancer, tronik house, reese blahblah


a variety of styles by him that range from brutal detroit techno, early breaky hardcore, hard detroit house, tribal house and even vocal house/techno anthems (innercity-big fun, good life, etc)

as a dj he's more on the hard tribal house tip lately. he does throw in alot of detroit classics along with shit by sims, gary martin, and other precussive funksters.

definitly go check him out. his edgy mixing adds to the energy of his already pumping tracks

With much respect to the Detroit pioneers:

Both, Saunderson and May are either hit or miss. Their tunes are good, but the mixing is not always. I saw May in Detroit twice last year and the tracks he was playing were killer, but his mixing was really shaky both times. Then, I saw him last month at a club in Chicago and his mixing was right on. :?: Same could be said for Saunderson - good tracks but not always good mixing.

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.

CHECK OUT DJ TWONZ, HE'S NOT AS PROMINENT AS JEFF, DERRICK OR JUAN, BUT DEFINITELY ROCKS THE DECKS!

i like untight djs i dont care aobut their from detroit or not.. i just thnik if they are funky eveyrthing is allowed !!!

personnaly when i paly i dont care about being tight or not, and i dont thnik its pretnetious to sya i could be more tight if i would care (many djs on this are tight, so they know what i mean)

but damn, doing cutting tricks and eqing things instead on using the pitch coz your hearing the records are "slipping" is more funney... ihavent got a 3rd had for x mas

[tioneb]

damn , and my boss shouted at me today coz of my typos................
