Re: [313] Marshall Jefferson
Well I caught Marshall in Melbourne and he was on top of his game. Lots of great tracks, from garage to deep house to electro to techno. Sensational!! Unfortunately the venue - a new commercial house night - he played had put on a huge night the week before with David Morales/Harry "Choo Choo" Romero, which was sponsored by an advertsing company on the behalf of a cigarette manufacturer. They spent a fortune on advertising. But there was virtually no lead up for Marshall, which was put on as a regular night. Bearing in mind that it is now winter in Melbourne, it was already a tough call. Also many house purists have decided to boycott this venue for various ideological reasons and wouldn't even show up for an icon. The tragedy is that the venue apparently didn't let Marshall finish his set - something which I personally think is terrible and very disrespectful to the DJ and punters regardless of the circumstances. It was just bad timing, the gig. I really felt for Mr Jefferson as he is the dearest man and a joy for the promoters and media to work with - he also has the most incredible memory. I really hope to hear him play again!! >Regarding Marshall Jefferson, I love his releases, and he has been there >from the very beginning - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [313] Marshall Jefferson
True words by our man John. No Detroit without the Chicago posse as far as I'm concerned. Regarding Marshall Jefferson, I love his releases, and he has been there from the very beginning, but when I heard him DJ a few weeks ago I was soo disappointed. For two hours he played the most unbelievable cheap filtered disco house you can imagine... Big bummer I tell you... Well, I'll keep on playing his records and avoid him as a DJ, easy enough I think.

Re: [313] Marshall Jefferson
John Osselaer: ..I've heard rumours that in the end Ron was selling highly exclusive and superb records for a few bucks just so he could get his next fix. Truly one of the sadder stories in the history of this music. :-( Same goes for Larry Levan. He sold all kinds of classics on the street for dimes. I've got few records myself that I bought from a guy in Chicago, and they have something like "the Box" -written on the labels. Old Hardy records?

"Day of the onion" -track is ~130 bpm umhh.. terry lee brown jr type track, it's not special, but not bad either. but definately not anywhere near his mid-90's garage house productions, in quality. and i don't have a clue what he plays as a dj. sakke -- Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. - Albert Einstein

Oh yeah, it was the Bismark Pavilion hotel I think which had a club in it, and Louis was the resident DJ in there... I remember reading it had a huge following at one point. There's a live mix from the club at the deephousepage.com, at page 3, mix nr.350. It think it is hard to deny that Detroit techno learnt a lesson or two >from the brotha's in the Windy City.

I can't answer this quesitonbut I had no idea that Jefferson did work on Tresor. Just goes to show you how fluid many of these categories that we hold fast to are in real life. I recall a conversation with an old house head in which he vehemently argued that house and techno "didn't mix." He wasn't necessarily an idiot...just very dogmatic. I wonder where I'd categorize Derrick if he had some cuts on Trax for example
Re: [313] Marshall Jefferson
He played in Helsinki a couple of months ago and the music was mostly clubby house stuff. Not totally crap, but close enough. I would have hoped to hear chicago classics, but no... On the other hand it was a big and very commercial party so maybe he just adjusted himself to the atmosphere. Hope you´ll have better luck. Cheers Ville . is a Chicago DJ/producer, I know, but respected by many in 313 circles, and has also released music on Tresor and is an influence on Detroit in more ways than one. I know Marshall has forged out a somewhat fluid musical identity (he even recorded with Chris Liebing!!), which is admirable. He is playing Melbourne for the first time next weekend and I would love to know what to expect.
