adam beyer

[davethedrummer]

adam beyer is stil the king if you ask me
he's extremely flexible
like a stretch armstrong or the guy from fantastic four
only in a more musical kind of way

Agreed

I used to be a big fan of Beyer, loved the Drumcodes poundy stuff.
went through a big phase of swedish techno (hardcell, grindvik, mull etc) but ive drifted away from it.
I listen to a lot of electro etc these days. Still love techno mind you.
My point is, if you listen to/play the one style of music its possible to become boring/predictable.
Just cause beyer was a techno god that all the slapheads got wet over doesn't mean he has no right to diversify

[audioinjection]

beyer is still dope, although he has gone a bit more minimal compared to his older tracks, i still dig his sound, very funky stuff

but you gotta accept change (even if you dont like where its going)

It seems like Adam can't get a break from the critics. The fact is you can't please everybody. In Adam's case, he was doing the same thing for quite a while and people gave him crap for that. He went the direction of Truesoul and people said it was too soft. He did some great tracks with Henrik and people thought some of it was too trancey. He started Mad Eye and went a little more minimal and people sh*t bricks again. The moral of the story is people will always complain (especially on the internet).

I don't really see why people think his new stuff is so soft or "minimal." The Traum remix sounds like something straight out of the Code Red era and the majority of the Mad Eye catalog is hard as nails, just about 10 bpm less than normal.

cos people still live in 1998! Change is hard for a lot of people to cope with musically i think. Thre sound progresses people's ideas progress. Hell think what would happen if it didn't we'd all be in clubs listening to piano house and stuff. Let the haters hate and everyone else will just get on with it and have fun. I feel sorry for all them people stuck in the past

I`m not really into his style at the moment, but he is defo one of the best DJs with real skills, and what I heard from different promoters he is a totally easy guy, always friendly and chilled.

It's Adam Beyer....That's all I can say. He can do what he wants to do....

Regardless of what people are used to from the man, I would expect nothing less than solid material no matter what style he's making.

Now if he started playing country or polka, then perhaps people might have something to complain about

[MangaFish]

I don't hate beyer - i just hate the stuff he plays these days.
pity because he used to be one of my favourite DJs.

At the end of the day he has to do the music he loves regardless of what people think. If people love it - then thats a bonus (and obviously a lot of people must do otherwise he wouldn't still be selling records and getting bookings.)
