I bet you don't like Theo's "Dusty Cabinets" much ;-)
I like to watch Theo DJ, I'm not mad keen on any of his tunes.
There's a certain 'wrong is right' aesthetic that sometimes is more wrong than right. That Carl Craig remix of Junior Boys "Like A Child" totally gets the key wrong, and in interviews he says he did it on purpose. Just sets my teeth on edge though.
Sure, I see that. I like John Zorn, Drones and Steps but...
These days, unquantized wavery beats are all the rage, though I'm more into carefully calibrated swing myself. If you can't have Tito Puente play on your record at least you can tinker with Swing Quantize until things get funky!
Nothing wrong with slack but it has to be right, otherwise it just jars and it's a bad jar IMHO but FI, loads of others dig it
