Dave Clarke - Essential Mix - Last Sat. nite

[Benkouijzer]

what the heck?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lol:

[jonnyspeed]

Just a little movie of an average Dave Clarke fan... and look he's even grown bitch tits like Dave and adopted his superior sense of style.

1st of all im not a dave clarke fan at all ...

but this essential mix is very good, kewl track selection !!! and yeah DC playin electro is wicked , and first hours is really good techno.

the skills ??? if there are some people here discussing about the skills of this mix, they are not that good but they are really more than acceptable... wo what have the people against it ??? the tracklisting is good tahts the most important ... having the pissing idea to give that much importance to skills makes me laugh a lot when the same people DC is arrogant hahah !


about DC behaving ive never met him ..; ive heard hes terrible with some promoters but these are only rumours. I would be an asshole if the promoters is an asshole to me, i guess he thinks like this . Actually ive met two promoters telling me is really nice and itneresting guy, that he spent a lot of time to chat with them , i guess thats becasue these are promoters caring about the djs. To sum up if you satisfy the little "stary things" DC asks (ie provide him some good cigars) then he will be gentle to you !

at best the mix is average. The electro he plays is crap. Not cos it's electro, but cos he's playing crap electro. Half the techno tracks sound the same (big chord stabs, heavy claps etc), when he plays a bit of booty it's always a really poor booty track. There are no changes in energy level throughout the whole two hour mix.

On the positive side there are some really cool tracks in there, and his mixing was quite restrained, none of the usual overuse of fx...but the set is definitely not "very good". It's pretty bland.

I haven't heard the mix but I've seen his top 10 on his site and it's pretty good. I've heard a few of his sets recently and fair enough, the mixing is a bit ropey at times and some of the track selection is debatable but he's achieved more than the majority of the people on this forum ever will.

Regarding his set on R1, you have to remember that listening to techno at home on the radio and listening to techno in a club is a completely different thing (obvious I know :roll: ). You can really notice things alot more when your listening to a mix at home but club techno/electro is exactly that that, club techno. The ambience in a club is completely different and more often than not, you've had a few drinks or whatever takes your fancy. I'm not a big Clarke fan these days but I know that this guy gets the party going at a club and that's what we want isn't it, a party ?.

Just out of interest does anyone who rates this mix, care to back up their argument with a little more than superlatives...

No, really I'm with DoaS here, but I would like to hear from some of the Clark afficianados what makes this a good mix... I think its worth bearing in mind that this is mix, being played out on what is probably one of the prime 'dance music' radio slots on the globe and given the wide breadth of dance music genres that get played out on the Essential Mix was DC on this occasion a good 'ambassador for techno music?

I'm inclined to think not, some good tunes, but the whole two hours just leaves me thinking that a lot of people will think that techno is bland and flat genre with a particular narrow selection of tunage to choose from.
