Phil Kieran

[Numeric]

I heard Phil Keiran at the Arches once and he was pretty good then. Percy X stole the show right enough, but Keiran was good. I think Dave Clarke was on that night as well.

Percy X is meant to be playing at our next event in a couple of months, nothing concrete yet though...

[daviec]

He's very good. Really versatile, and not scared to bang it out either :)

[BOXY]

I'd like to see him if i got the chance i heard good things about him and his productions are pretty good!!

Jeez he hangs with 2 egotistical bums then ;)

Oh I see, you get to decide on who and who can't be a member of the techno community based on who they associate with. Right-o then.

BRILLIANT!

Nothing personal against Kieran, but he is technically very poor....some good tunes alright, but the mixing.......... :roll: :roll:

any who wishes to associate with an egotistical bandwagon bum, shouldnt belong within techno. thats my point.

sorry, did i say that? no, i didnt think so either.

he obviously uses his links within radio to sell records.

sorry for being pre-judgemental, but i would be surprised if any of his tracks did anything for me. being the nice guy i am, i will check them out though. (just to make sure)

Looked like it from here. Or does the statement that someone doesn't belong in techno according to some arbitrary criterion that you've come up with mean something completely differently.

How do you know this? I don't even know if Fergie plays Phil Kieran records but Adam Beyer does (he's even remixed one), so does that mean that Kieran is obviously using his Swedish links to sell records?

beyer must like his money then. or maybe he felt that kierans tracks were so bad, that he would take the oppurtunity to re-write his pathetic attempts. again, im just speculating. (its a bad habit i have)

But I don't think Phil Kieran considers himself to be an integral part of the 'techno movement', he's released electro, breaks, tech house too. There's a lot that is said about his Djing or whatever, he mightn't be the best in the world sure, the way I look at it though is that he's worked bloody hard at what he's done and has become a big success as a producer, if DJ gigs are what comes with this then more power to him, he deserves it.. For the record, I saw him play an electro set in Dublin one night and he was fine, quite good in fact; and any time i've spoken to him he seemed like a nice enough bloke. Who gives a shit if he hangs out with Fergie? they are both from Northern Ireland and obviously have one or two things in common. Liebing hangs out with Picotto, Hawtin hangs out with Vath.., let them them sip their champagne together if they want, it's all "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" and that level... we need to be accept this and be happy for them all :lol:

[Sunil]

it's all "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" and that level...

"at that level" it should have been.. a prime example of the edit button being needed on this board!

[stefano1981]

ey are both from Northern Ireland and obviously have one or two things in common. Liebing hangs out with Picotto, Hawtin hangs out with Vath..,

Agreed. Did it ever occur to you that they might actually enjoy each other's company? I've mates who used to play trance and who've since moved onto techno when they got exposed to more and more of it, should I be excluded as well?

[Col]

i actually took it upon myself to do a little research regarding kieran. my initial judgement stands correct imo.

hes had releases on bugged out, and skint (mixmags idea of credible labels) he plays gigs such as creamfields etc. i listened to clips of a couple of tracks hes produced. i found it to be predictable cheese. i also found that he produced a track "my house (is your house)" i mean how many times have we heard these vocals all throughout the many genres within dance music? surely we must be hitting the 5000 plus mark by now? the titles of his tracks are incrediblly laughable: "juicy" "youth" "i love you" "my house" "chunka funk" "vital 1" "vital 2" "vital 3" wheres the sense of artistic vision?

i think he found inspiration within a 12yr old girls personal diary. :lol:

I don't see the relevance of this. Track titles are track titles. Surely, it's the contents on the production which matters, irrespective of who's produced it.

its not a case of musical preference. im talking about the way people conduct themselves, its about honesty, its about greed, its about image & ego.

and at the end of the day, i dont take kindly to self obsessed press whores who use "techno" as an excuse to gain credibility.

your right. but the contents match the wrapper. im just putting my case forward. "every little helps" as they say.

Fair enough, but people shouldn't make a musical choice on this basis alone.

again your right. no track title would ever stop me from listening to a particular track. (even if the title of every track from a particular producer(no names mentioned) sounded like it was randomly picked from a westlife album)
