adam beyer

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

like i say, one of the main things that is pushed down people's throats in techno is nostalgia, "It was amazing back in my day"..." oh remember when such and such was still amazing"... out of the scenes im involved in, the majority of techno fans are definately the worst at times for having this strange fixation with clutching onto the past desperately and then getting all shitty and bitter when one of their fave artists refuses to get left behind in 1998 like u say Joe lad

Consistently outstanding producer.

Only heard him dj once and didn't rate him, he was a bit flat and I had high hopes.

Hating him is foolishness.

nowadays its forbidden to have another opinion than the masses. if you say you dont like anything (especially on the internet) you better hide. or they will punish you bad. adam beyer is god. all he did/does/will do is perfect. the other guys who now do this cool new music are also godlike. especially those of them who used to do loop-/tool-techno. i admire their creativity. everytime i listen to their music i could cream. IT IS SO AWESOME!

people complaining about his 'minimal' sound apparently never really paid attention to code red.

Totally agree with this... surely it's far, far better for all concerned to talk about the good things going on at the moment than bitterly complaining that it's not as good as it used to be. That was then, this is now.

Everyone's always gonna be misty-eyed about the stuff that turned them on to the music in the first place but slating or hating (did anyone honestly say that?? surely not...) someone for taking their sound in a new direction they wanna go in is just plain bollocks.

Music should be art, people should write the music they feel needs to be written... if Beyer just catered for fanboys rather than making stuff from the heart he'd be selling out. Fair play to the bloke. Change is essential.

[dan the acid man]

Well said, it's always been a no win situation, change and you get people complaining, don't change and you will still have people complaining

Let him do what he wants, if you love it great, if not find something else to listen to and enjoy instead.

i have to say as a producer he has to be one of the best. i went to see him a while back, savage DJ.

classy techno.

im really into all the drumcode stuff he did too, it has to be some of the most intelligent techno i have ever heard.

double for this naive statement

double for this naive statement

Laugh it up, but when you get over yourself & the (granted) cheesiness of the statement it's true isn't it? What else do people make music for?

Is it really naive - what great music was made for other reasons than for the love of it?
