Dj Rush

[jock]

I think everyone, even djs, notice that sometimes Rush's technical ability is poor, but the same is said of jeff mills.

I have heard rush do some amazing things with tracks, especially playing accapellas over stuff like betty ford etc.

He is the only dj I know that I have listened to sets where you think he cant get any harder, and will then turn it up another notch just to **** with your head.

his live set was quality at atomic jam this year, best live set i have seen him and berkovi, true performer in every sense!!

Normally when people slate someone it's because they have never seen them play.

Too True!
I've never seen him play, and his sound when he dj's isn't so much what I'm into myself, but I think it's really cool to see someone out there who has real character in a sea of faceless shaven heads behind decks, and I think this is what Rush's appeal really is.. And when I say I'm not so into what he spins, this is purely on listening to mix cds, and I think listening to mixes and actually being there are definately 2 different things, maybe if I was at the gig, even if I wasn't so keen on the trax, I'd imagine Rush is one of those people who could convice me I was having a good time anyway! His productions however I have been following since '95, and his early stuff has definatly had an influence on my own stuff.. and agreed, Maniac is one of his finest moments, along with Rhythm, Drums and Style, Mother****in Bass, and The Breaks

**** Bass

Mark, You ****in prude, I love the admin settings ;) That should have read M.o.t.h.e.r.f.u.c.k.i.n Bass... apologies to anyone offended, but it is the track title and is worth checking out, the original that is, and not the Cheesy hard house remixes ;)

I've seen Rush a few times now and the energy levels in the club are amazing when he dj's. He's got a great connection with the crowd, and plays some excellent hard techno.

The Leibing remix of "Get on up" is the only production of his I have, and it's an anthem. Fucking quality. :clap:

that liebing rmx is a crowd pleaser esp in nyc w/that vocal sample of "breakers from the east....." plus hes the only producer that can speak so much and it doesnt annoy me too much on the harder stuff,,,

also like his slower and less hard production,,,always clever and yeah we know his style and some like it and some dont but many producers have signature sounds,,just he gets slack bec it is overaccentuated w/the recognizable vocals,,

i am still lovin his ---- my palazzo(masters of disaster rmx) track on beat disaster,,

For me, he's a mixed bag. He is undoubtedly a very skilled producer. Some of the basslines he's come out with over the years just astound me. E.g. Alter Ego - Betty Ford Remix. I like the original tune, but his mix adds a bouncy, funky bassline that you just cannot resist. He seems to be able to perfect the ablance between funky and skippy enough to get people up and dancing, yet remaining tough enough to not lose his techno credentials. I don't, however, like his vocals. Some of them are ok, but at some points they are so gratuitously rude it just seems like a teenager desperately trying to shock his parents with bad language. Seems pretty unnecessary when you've got a monster of a bassling ripping through the speakers anyway!!!

All in all, I definitely rate him!!
