Re: [313] Dave Clarke? -- Please ignore if you don't like rants.
yeah, the two electro boogie mixes - or the techno mix in the muzik magazine boxed set. neither, by the way, using pro tools. also, daves style is all about seeing him live. he rocks a party - simple. its like mills - liquid rooms might not sound technically great on CD, but see him live and you know he's a great DJ. mixes you have to feel, not just hear. - Original Message - From: dan ito [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 10:08 PM Subject: Re: [313] Dave Clarke? -- Please ignore if you don't like rants. any electro boogie mix or the fuse mix(not the one off napster).

I somewhat have to agree with you there, I think Dave Clarke is one of many largely overrated dj's of our time. And on top of that he's an arrogant pompous ass as well. But you can't judge a dj on one mix. You should listen to more of him and when you have the chance, see him in action. I only said he's largely overrated. Not that he's a bad dj!

Re: [313] Dave Clarke? -- Please ignore if you don't like rants.
Hey tim, Interesting insight, and comment. There is, however one problem with those live @... sets. They were done live. You never know how the crowd was reacting, and perhaps he was playing the crowd (which he is _very_ good at). I happened to have been in the red room at I love Techno to see him perform at I Love techno last year (not sure if its the same as the recording you were listening to or not), but found that he was entertaining the crowd as much as can be done by a dj. And I thought he was extremely good, even though his choice of music was a bit out of my taste. Most of those types of recordings are not the same thing that would be released if the purpose was to make a mix cd (i believe). Just something to think about when listening to live sets taht weren't meant to be recorded. Cheers!
