-- Eric Prydz vs. John Askew
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »


Posted by Lunar Phase 7 on Mar-06-2007 09:26:

Askew sucks so much balls, his tunes are impossible to use in a mix because of the speed they are writen at, but the energy they lack is immense, throw one of his tracks in and you've got yourself an action killer.

His DJing I cannot comment on, but his productions and for the most part his lable might as well be one tune.

Notable exceptions are things like:

Arc in the Sky - Vainqueur (Dub to the Climax Mix)

Deserves a fucking LOL!

Yeah sorry kids, but I personally don't think any EM in the near future will top Danny Howells

eric prydz by a mile..

and trance is not dead, thats such a ridiculous statement. down in form does not mean dead. when no one is producing new trance and no one cares about it anymore then u tools can start saying that and not sound like dumb ****s.

ironically people were saying the same thing about house about 12 years ago, daft punk and alot of other french artists fixed that. all genre's go through slumps and when trance was brilliant for about 14 years its going to go through one eventually, it will get good again, all genre's do and there is no reason why trance cant

Posted by the gamemaster on Mar-06-2007 13:26:

The Eric Prydz mix was nothing to write home about. For fuck's sake the first hour was slow, boring, and commercial. The second hour was worse - pulling out old Rave anthems like "Higher State of Conciousness", and Robin fuckin S. with "Show Me Love"!!! He also just had to throw in there Vangelis "Conquest of Paradise" didn't he? The only DJ who was able to pull that off was Oakie, and that was back in the 90s when the song actually had a life. . This isn't supposed to be an old school Essential Mix, now is it?

All the while let's not forget that this mix is coming from the same guy that looped a Stevie Winwood record for 6 minutes, and butchered a Pink Floyd classic recently.

I think there are DJs in Timbuktu that can play a better set then Eric Prydz, but I suppose the sheep/masses are digging his sound.


Higher State of Conciousness > Your opinion

Throwing a classic in there is just sweet.
Spinning classics like that in the EM takes balls.
I'd say Prydz has stayed fairly fresh and call on me cant be compared to his productions as a whole. It was just something he did so he could break through. He's produced a gazillion tracks and four of them are commercial?

I bet your the kind of guy to bash every guy that plays a track you've heard before? Does it always have to be ZOMGIDIE ID UNRELEASED

Sweden > Timbuktu

Peace.


Posted by the gamemaster on Mar-06-2007 13:31:

prydz has more skill than most dickheads spinning house these days. stupid thread


Posted by djpaulc on Mar-06-2007 13:42:

+1 to anyone above who stated that howells mix was the best of the lot. it was better by such a huge margin that i think it is actually insulting to mention prydz and askew's mixes in the same sentence.

I am an Eric Prydz fan and I thought that EM was painfully boring. Throwing a classic in an EM doesn't take balls, people have been doing that for years.

Coincidentally, Oakenfold spins this Friday and Prydz next Friday in the same club in Munich, Germany. I might attend both gigs.

I haven't had much trance recently, maybe that's why I loved that Askew-mix. Especially because of the Activa-tune. I'm always open for debating, but didn't expect so many people to actually listen to that Prydz-mix in here. Thus, at the SHM-forum it had a big impact.

So Danny is the man...? Just got his mix and will check it out.

yeah I have to agree with you. Being a huge Prydz fan myself, I have to say that the EM was very bad.. I liked maybe a couple of tunes in there.. (Partial Arts-Trauermuzik is beautiful ) But most of the tunes were just really repetitive..

So Ill have go back to listening the Danny Howells Essentialmix..

i second that


Posted by Ted Promo on Mar-06-2007 17:43:

The Prydz one was alright. But why listen to or argue over either of these overtly if you have the Howells EM?


Posted by distant on Mar-06-2007 17:53:

They're both shite.

You honestly couldn't tell it was him? He is about the most obvious (and annoying) alt in recent memory. Besides Radagast, Arcadia, and Nou.

Though I kind of like Radagast.

there were subtle differences i thought, 'trancepunkk' came across as cockier whereas 'gamemaster' just seems a bit dense. i found radagast a hell of a lot easier to pick out

what were arcadia & nou's alts? i'm pretty out of the loop with things like this ;/

arcadia - djmaxima
Nou - The Riddler, Pen2 or something like that, a bunch of number ones, he's got like, 25 I swear.

minus 50000000000000000000000, askew kicks the shit out of any trance dj by miles, you have to listen to his music to appreciate whats going on. take the door, eat the rich, blackout, all or nothing, all very different, and kick the crap out of 95% of music released today. hes doing a great job running discover, and at least being different about the whole trance approach these days. his em is good, not the best, but you really have to see the man in action to appreciate how good he actually is.

yup! thats pretty much the only thing worth pointing out here, the prydz EM was okay but in the end forgettable, same for Askew, if you want a better trance mix from him check his Live As 2CD recording with Matt Hardwick
