I-F had some interesting things to say about Dave Clarke, and the 'Electro Boogie' mix series, back in the September 1999 issue of The Skinny (www.skinny.com check the past music features section). It would be interesting to hear Dave Clarke's response to this article. ~Askew __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
(313) Dave Clarke last night
sat night Roy Wilkins Auditorium, St. Paul MN Dave Clarke:1am to 2:30 am Nice tracks including: Orange, DJ rush's new one with him ranting about you gotta believe over a Velvetlike beat, that percussive japanese track on F Communications (records not in front of me) nice and bangin. A bit overindulgent with the effects processor. He would get a groove going and then kill it right away with a chaotic delay. It guess it was interesting though. I wish he would of played a bit more epic stuff. When a big name DJ comes to a town for the first time I just think they should play a couple of those classic tracks that brought their name's to the forefront (like anything RED maybe, I don't care how old they are!) It just seems that they just throw down what they've been into over the last couple of months, and that's cool; but when most of the crowd is oblivious to what you've done in the past maybe you should school 'em with those ageless tracks. just my .02.. Dissappointed I missed Woody's set in the other room Lil Ronnie played a lot of nice hard funky beats (Hybrid, Primevil) recommended DJ Speedy kind of started where DC left off, just a bit trancier, his set had it's definite moments. all in all a good time. next week: The Kooky Scientist...Live looking forward to that.

Re: (313) Dave Clarke last night
I completely agree, and not only that, I agree about the same DJ! I saw Dave Clarke roll through Vancouver BC on that K7 Electro Boogie tour a few years back. Vancouver has some good points, but it's music scene isn't one of them, and this was the first time to my knowledge somebody was gonna show Van city what music was. He played a good, but dissapointing set of hard techno, something else you rarely hear in this city, but damn! I came to hear electro on a big system for the first time in two years! My personal theory was the club told him that electro would bomb like Dresden in front of a Van city crowd, and that's probably rightbut all the ads, posters and the banner right in the club said ELECTRO BOOGIE TOUR, he could have just played the mixed cd and I would have been happy...
