I'm not sure how new this really is, but the Transmat artist mr.
trommer has put out a nice 80+ minute compilation of the tracks he's
played live on a free mp3 compilation available for download from the
phoniq netlabel. Ace 313 dream techno, nice pads, good lively rhythms,
etc, with some slightly squelchy sounds (at least one broken beat
trackon it, too). Highly recommended.
On a different note, went to see Stacey Pullen in SF last night and to
my surprise and disappointment, he played nothing but low grade echoey
trance with a buildup every four or so minutes, with a reverbed
spinback in between those. Is this what he usually plays nowadays? or
was he just having an off night? It's hard to believe that someone of
his caliber would play crappy euro trance, with just about every single
song containing the same predictable buildup and then breakdown.
To be fair though, he did do ok mixer tricks here and there, but the
song selection had zero variety and was extremely, extremely bland.
Did he get any better towards the end of his set? I certainly hope
that he did. was it just the pre-2am slump for him? Or is this what
happens when djs from Detroit sign to big management companies?
