Yeah, our site is really out of date at the mo. I should point out that as we are a collective, it's not just representative of 'my' sound but is kind of an average of the stuff that all our crew likes (which ranges from house, breaks right through to hard techno. Although looking at the site, it seems to be more weighted in favour of hard techno at the minute). I've just signed up with a new provider and will be moving it soon so hopefully we'll have a few mixes on there in a while.Originally Posted by tekku7181
The Chris Gawtry link is there because he was a guest at one of our nights. The guest slots weren't always necessarily the kind of stuff that I personally was hugely into, but other members of our collective and certainly a lot of the people who paid to come through the door were really into that sound, and we tried to balance one month of something they would be into and then the next month of something we were really into, that maybe they wouldn't have been exposed to down here.
I don't produce any more, and never for anything more than my own amusement and pleasure when I did, and I'm a shit DJ, but I know what I like :lol: - which is anything from Detroit through to Wonk, and also lots of IDM. Trying to think of some people who really excited me in the last year or so to give an idea of my tastes - Surgeon definitely, working that Ableton Live to maximum effect, and all the BMB stuff has been great. That new Grovskopa mix floats my boat. That Makaton live set that was linked on here by the Electric City people a while back was wicked. Jeff Mills blew me away a couple of times last year, a real return to form. Likewise Robert Hood. Shaun Rudiman live was awesome. Mark Hawkins did the biz. Love anything in that Monolake, Scion, Basic Channel sort of area. Max Duley also. Of the less established jocks, Jerome Hill, Morph and Ryan Blackman have impressed. Plaid stunned me. And Aphex Twin of course, much electronic headfu.ck shenanigans. There's so much more, but I've rambled too much already, and that should give you an idea of my flava.
That's kind of what I try to incorporate in a set, anything from any of those areas. I'm not much bothered with playing all the 'latest' either, so I could end up playing early Detroit tracks that are 15 years old. If it feels right for the moment, it's in. Nice idea, usually let down by my crap mixing :roll::lol:
Hope that answers your question.
Christ ! Another really long post. Is it obvious I'm laying off the herb at the moment ? :roll: :lol:
