ha, you're not kidding. the heads I speak of don't get out alot ; ) >etc. music and hearing their DJ mixes live in a >party atmosphere have been a real gateway for me to discover so much >older great music from late 70's to early 80's... reaching further past >house and into the roots of it... yes, me too. as well as people older than me helping and reading stories etc.. some lovely tales here btw... http://www.djhistory.com/books/archiveInterview.php I particularly enjoyed the tales from Ian Dewhirst out of Mirfield (had to give it a shout, its where a couple of my mates come from!) >SOOOO many KDJ killer cuts are based on disco and r&b samples, or >fragments of them. virtually all of them I guess. they are well done though I think too. I know plenty heavily into soul/r&b etc who think he's a bit of a joker though. carl craig uses alot of samples in this form too to keep it on topic (for his older stuff, particularly 69, but not exclusively). > It's like another world of sound once you >get deep into the source stuff, and their peers, and THEIR influences >in turn, etc. It's like mining underground and you find another tunnel >you never knew existed as a branch, to explore and see what sounds you >like and don't like, and the tunnels just keep on branching out >forever. Oh god, tell me about it! I keep thinking I'm getting somewhere, only to find I'm horribly wrong. the amount of obscure music out there is just incredible. I'm starting to think I need to give up soon! Fun looking though eh? >But lost of people and DJs are lazy, (less so the subscribers of this >list... but) they just want music served up to them on a marketing >platter, without having to think or have their own personal taste and >preferences. Remember this is the era of the 'insta-dj' :P Very true. to be honest, I can hardly blame 'em. some people don't have time, or can't be bothered, or just aren't that interested. and in my experience they're probably better off than me! "insta-dj's" should be lined up infront of the firing squad though. : ) ok, so this brings me round to something I was thinking about. Mixtapes. great aren't they? usually free & unlicensed, in general they're someones labour of love. I've lost count of the amount of very good mixtapes that have inspired me over the years. top 5 mixtape thread anyone? ; ) p.s nice post matt, thanks. _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
