[dan the acid man]

i have alot of friends who listen to speed garage and thinking about it this record has a similar feel to the records they listen to.

[anx]

u have friends that listen to speed garage? jeez what are you doing man!

haha just joking

[jimmy west]

i feel the last 2 hydraulix tracks 21and22 have been let downs compared to the previous high standards gettin to hard house for my likin

[jonnyspeed]

:lol:

I get the same thing - people saying, man if we use your decks for a party its just going to be banging techno, init? Then you play Hydraulix, SUf, Wah Wah, MaxMin, Subvert, Don't, Routemaster and they are like "no I like this I just don't like that shit techno" :?:

I always just say any music is good if you like it init they rest is just either annoying or wallpaper, but no music is shit :lol:

[el_satan666]

I agree with people liking the jack'd-acid over "techno", or people saying to ya "hey man, play that.. play that blade song..ya know..deeh-di-di-dih..man i'm SOOO underground".

Anyways, I think people like D.A.V.E. the drummer are realizing this and trying to ca$$h in on it. Hydraulix 22 wasn't anything compared to earlier stuff. Bit dissappointed with 21 and 20.

Ah well.

Its more of a "music written by DJs for DJs" than $ - Hydraulix amybe just doesn't sound so fresh to you as it used too? Personally I like most of it... #5 was not my thing but the rest are cool. Playing more Powertools at the moment though - Ant may be more to your taste?

[el_satan666]

Ant does suit me well, and the Lib's always up for new and exciting things, cant wait for more! I just reckon that Hydraulix is past its glory days, and should either change it's tune or get out of it. Acid needs new blood, not stale repetitive / or disco-breaky loops.

are you serious, i dont agree with you one bit here, to say hydraulix is past its glory days just because you have'nt liked the past couple of releases is a bit much, one of the things i love about hydraulix is the releases are so varied, this in my opnion stops it from getting stale or repetetive

[Numeric]

Yeah man...

Not everything Hydraulix put out is to my tastes, but i still have a listen to anything that's new, as you never know when a serious banger is on the horizon...

[Paul Zykotik]

The last Hydraulix I heard was 20, but they've all been well up to par before that. It's certainly done a better job of keeping fresh than RAW has.

[slacker]

personally, I would like to hear more releases like hydro 14. both sides were wicked and fairly different sounding.

FACE YOUR TURNTABLES IN FRONT OF YOUR GUESTS! BANGBANGBANG CRUNCHYBANGBANG! :lol:

While I'll still check them out in the shops, and probably buy them, I stand by my offensive opinion.

Even as I write, I'm listening to H.12, 14 and comparing to 20 & 22, to make sure I beleive what I'm writing. 20 & 22 just don't do it for me like 12 and 14 did and continue to do.

While you're right about Hydro releasing varied tracks, I still beleive, as with a lot of acid now, it's taking a more mainstream direction.

[DJMAYA]

This label knows what its doing!!!!

22 21 20 19 all have a direction. looking at the bigger picture its easy to see the direction things are going. one thing about this label and i don't know why , but the tunes seem to grow and grow the more i play them out. they definitely have to be heard and felt on a p.a to be understood.

all i need to say is this....

thank god somebody has a sense of humour and makes such down to the ground funky music:)

[slavestudios]

Hydraulix 13.5 has been the high point for me.

or 17 is it with the super funk bassline ? thats fukin having it big
