Tchoo right! Yer readn' my mind. Cold. Sterile. But, to each his own? 6 hr? You can never be sure your judgement is accurate unless you stick it out for the duration. -Miles

I went in open-minded as I'd never heard Magda before and had only heard Hawtin about 4 times previously. After all the debate about weather or not Magda can DJ I found that she is quite good at mixing (no mistakes) but I didn't really enjoy her selection. I didn't know any of the tracks but they seemed to be average to me ("Dry" was the term a friend used.) Hawtin played a 6 hour set. To be honest I found it quite boring. I've enjoyed previous sets from him but this just seemed to be one minimal track blended smoothly into another minimal track. There seemed to be a lack of variety, nothing that really stood out. Where was the madness? Where was the darkness? How about some deck skills? What about the funk? It was all too serious (cold & clinical.) I think Professor Hawtin needs to spend less time in the studio and maybe even go out for a dance one night to remember what it's like to be the other side of the DJ booth. I'm going to hear him again at Atomic Jam alongside Luke Slater this month so he's got another chance to impress, I just hope he can prove me wrong.
