I haven't heard the mix, but he seemed really cool when I met him at 13 Below. He actually thanked us nameless patrons for coming out.
I will say that his recent recorded mixes (ie most recent DE909) seem to have lost the human touch he used to have in his sets (ie Power 96 mix or that MixMag mix). He seemed a little more willing to switch it up a bit and keep it aggressive. Occassionally, I will DL a live mix from some festival and those mixes are much better than anything from his studio because they tend not to be the current Top 20 Beatport MNML downloads and contain older type tracks mixed with some new ones. ----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: kent williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: 313 Mailing List <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Friday, May 2, 2008 2:02:05 AM Subject: Re: (313) Easiest way to start a (313) argument - the Richie Hawtin RA Podcast Yeah me too- he seems like a decent guy in the flesh but to me his main strength is in marketing, not music. 2008/5/2 kent williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Yeah, I listened to it at work.
