the sound of this record has already been commented, as for the "famous" astrodsico nights goes, yes, its been goin on for 2 years now and its mainly going good because of umek's enormous (and sponsored) reputation, commercial sound for the masses and cheap tickets.Originally Posted by koma
90% of the population on astrodisco nights don't have a clue what electro is and cudnt tell a difference between minimal and knarz for example. Astrodisco events are FAR from what electro means to me and what the old consumer recreation team's electro nights from 6,7 years back used to be, that is the best rother/advent/kraftwerk/mad mike/old gigolo stuff. (I'll upload an old umeks proper electro mix, which is actually still the best electro mix i've ever heard)
The cheapest Kompakt type of stuff is not my cup of tea, but its good bussiness for them, after all umek is being severly sponsored by vodafone here, more then any other slovenian "artist"..
Still he has provided the best dark techno and electro nights i've ever whitnessed in the good old days, not to mention the golden absense, cr, clr eps... Sadly it went terribly wrong and it will obviously continue to the local mtv dancefloor chart...
