i feel you there, ja'maul. i saw that shtick-- he played a one bar plastikman loop for like 15 minutes. didn't even feel the need to throw a little autofilter or something on there. very minimal, i guess.
and not to start another "diss rich" thread (i usually enjoy his dj sets), but i've never heard him let a single record play that long. and even looped bangers have breaks... which leads me to side with Martin on this. i don't care what gear someone's running-- i want to hear a spontaneous, responsive, interesting set of music. --- "Redmond, Ja'Maul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I can't say if it's live or not.
