I think you better reconsider going to see Richie at FW and at Stereo. If there is one DJ who has a "schizophrenic alter ego" it's Richie. Richie can be the best DJ in the world when he wants to be and has something to prove but he can also be the most experimental, disjointed feeding his own ego of a DJ in the world. He is so hit or miss you just have to be prepared to be disappointed at times. Is he going to play a banging techno set, minimal, 80's, or is he going to have a symbol, a pot and a spoon and spend the night building his set to include a frying pan...I've seen Richie pull out Billie Jean at 10AM at Time Warp, some Prince at Minitech so don't be pissed off and cry bullshit if he does at FW or Stereo. |
So true. I don't think he should reconsider going to see him at FW and Stereo, but he should be fully prepared for what you said above.
When I was reading this thread earlier today, noticing how controversial it was I was reminded of old Richie reviews. He is the most hit or miss DJ around. But when he's on, he's absolutely untouchable.

his mixing was at times laser point with what he was doing, very precise, but at other times so crazily loose it was baffling. drunken kung fu master stylez i would say. |
lmao. Perfect description of Ricardo's mixing. Sometimes he'll just punch a mix in, and it will be *almost* a trainwreck, but he'll correct it in less than one beat. It is a really disorienting effect, but gets the crowd going. I love it.

Last night was a good indication of what he is like imo, if a dj has 1 date in north america for the whole year and cant even fucking take care to anyhow prepare but instead just gets shitfaced before and during his set and completely disregards people around him playing stuff that no one wants to hear, thats a big statement of about that dj's brand/professionalism/attitude etc.
|
whatever, he has one date in na but it doesn't mean anything, this was a bday present to sneak, you would never see him play here otherwise and i hope it stays that way.

Lol, i obviously didnt expect any kind of rolling techno or other new wave techno or fat pounding tech house
|
the way you describe the styles makes me fuckin cringe for some reason, do you really have to call it that?

but i did expect decent minimal and decent deep influenced tech (yes there is expectation based on brand, you go to see a name dj precisely because there is expectations, not becasue there is a 30% chance he could be good), which i figured would sound decent enough to make me dance on an "amazing soundsystem" advertised by the promoters. Instead we had to listen to 80s music and weirdo stripped down break beat on a week distorted sound while ricardo was getting high on stage.... |
bla bla bla who gives a shit, as previously mentioned you do not understand a dj of his caliber (who is like hawtin either hit or miss) and you shouldn't go to this type of party expecting him to play anything, he plays "whatever" that is his style and because you've never see him you don't get it, if next time you go without expecting anything maybe at the end of the day you may have some fun.
