SPEEDY J

[massplanck]

Well, I meant four-to-the-floor type stuff. Dance club tracks.

I know what you meant! But you know what I meant!

I've seen Speedy J a couple of times and he was really good. First time at Godskitchen Global Gathering, he just blew me away. Superb stuff, and then at I Love Techno, again simply superb. :clap:

I like some of his older productions, but I wasn't aware of them first time round so it wasn't till I did a bit of searching after hearing him that I found Pannick and Pullover.

His remix on CLR and his Point Blank remix are amazing though. I think I'll dig out the Point Blank one for later this month.

I've seen him once... @ I Love Techno Outdoor Festival 2003, and I liked hem very very much. That set was awesome! I would love to hear him again... offcorse I'm also very proud of him because he's dutch : :lol:

I've had a chance to see Speedy J last year in Detroit at some DEMF's afterparty. I must say I was pretty much brought down to my knees, rough, hard and right on the subject.
He played a really well programed live act and left one hell of an impression on everyone in the building. Hands down! :)

was that the live set that lasted about 3 hours? with loads of deep breakdowns and ambient sections?

Yes it was... You can hear this live act at www.paxahau.com

[death on a stick]

yeah I've heard/watched some of it. should check the whole thing, it looked amazing from what I saw. So much better than the crappy banging-and-nothing-else live sets he's done over the past few years.

[G-BO]

hes playing shine on te 20th march, canne wait, alongside the youngsters

:lol:

[djvartan]

is the man of LIVE PA

[rezok]

Every track. Every single one.
Every album. Every single one!
Every gig.
Every sound.
Every high and every low.
Every bass line that kicks you in the stomach.

There is no one better. NO ONE. No Mills, No Hawtin, No Sims.

NO ONE! THIS MAN IS THE GOD OF TECHNO. PERIOD.

:love:

[gunjack]

ok. go change your shorts and switch off those commercial announcements. :roll:

he does a very good live set. has been around for a long time and has recorded some damned good music, but the guy goes too far over the hippy dippy trance line for me and i understand why more goa trance, hippy type acid djs play his stuff way more than hard techno djs.

but anyway, my personal opinion aside, the FACT remains that you just cant call this guy unprofesional. he is to be respected i think.

[miss bass]

Oh i do think speedy j is class.

I mean i would love to see him live more than anyone actually.

:love: :love: :love:

[rezok]

Thats a little unfair.

Analogan and Point Blank are hardly trancey.

Im a fan I admit, but implying the un-implyable!!...

But at least you agree he is to be respected. ;)
I think he's to be cherished and adored.

ummmmm i dunno what planet you come from bro, but both of those tunes are huge with those trance people.

[rezok]

Ok fair enough.

I guess thats a good thing. And it doesnt mean Jochem plays trance.

It just means people who like trance may alsdo like techno.

But as far as techno goes, he is No.1. I think. :lol:

it all depends on what your defenition of trance is i don't see the comparison but then i might have a different view of what trance is

how many producers put out a classic just about every year i can't name one producer who has made as many quality tracks as he has. i don't buy many of his tracks at the moment though got a bit bored with the sound he's doing a the moment. i am waiting for him to make another switch in style and hoping it will be a good one as he has done many a times in the past

[anx]

woa, analogon and point blank, trance??

just because they have super long buildups, does not make it trance.
its still loop driven, percussion based, TECHNO. there are no melodies, just rhythm. just because he drops the kickdrum for a long break, doesnt make it trance. as a matter of fact, i think that the only thing that those 2 tracks and trance have in common, are the fact that they all have long breakdowns.

its techno all the way. you can argue that its may be "progressive techno" if you want to lable it, but no way is it trance.

point blank is in my opinion, one of the best techno tracks ever written. ever. its a bloody masterpiece. a techno masterpiece.

[gunjack]

dude. they are techno tracks. i never said they were trance, i just said that all the trance kids love em. why do you think that is? like you said, BIG BREAKS AND BUILDS, but that alone doesnt give it the ghey trance feeling. i happen to think its all the bright flangers etc., but who the f@ck cares? those trax get played by trance DJs because they feel like trance.
as does alot of speedy j material in my opinion.

[jesus]

the main point for me is that he doesnt use a computer sequencer ,every tune is a live jam tidyied up. which is good

[xfive]

Regardless of any comments above, electric deluxe still owns :lol:
