IS ethnic taco another term for foreign pussy?

Downloading

Pretty good. I loved the tune at about 45 minutes in. Mixing was mint and it kept a proper flow. Good one.

I gotta be honest I thought the mixing was...interesting. Almost Villalobos-like, maybe?

Anyway I enjoyed it, but I wonder what draws you to use ethnic chanting so much.

t'was good but I prefer some of your other sets.

interesting? how so out of curiosity?

for the chants, i just felt like doing something different this time is all, and yes my being excited for ricardo played a huge part in it

I was in the process of putting together a "chanting" mix a few weeks ago, but then I got bored.

Still need to listen to this.

this is so good....

the chanting is superb .. this genre should be called "echno"

gave a first listen today and it was awesome, the only thing I noticed maybe on some of the mixes I felt like there were to many loops , did I read that u used serato on this? anyways I will give this a thorough look. and give a more detailed post.

yeah serato

damn.. elFreak.
you might be a dick in the cor but as far as this set goes, hands down you have my praise. i love this set.

Very dynamic use of the EQs...the mixing was quite playful. Interesting timing on some of those transitions too. You used looping a lot as well, no?

Checked this out mainly because Woscar said "Listen to an El Freak/RJT set to hear tech house done properly". The first twenty minutes were grooving, but then I started to find all the spoken samples/flutes/"ethnic" chants too cheesy, and the beats didn't have much teeth. Put it all together and it wasn't far from the kind of Buddha Bar stuff you hear playing in Indian restaurants and new age bars where they only sell weird bottled drinks. Right at the end it picked up though, and the last five or six minutes were great. It needed more of that.

Anyway, I expect a typical Jay put-down response to this review, but I'm not stepping on your shit for the sake of it. I gave this a try for inspiration and these are my honest thoughts.

I haven't heard this yet, but by looking at the tracklist and his set description it wasn't really your best option as this is a more mellow or summery set than what Jay usually plays.

You would be better off checking out older mixes, for example "Bienvenue au Le Freak Show" or Zaggazaw.

I would also recommend that you get Rob's set called Gonzo.

Ya, this is awesome.

Track ID's at 30:30 and 48 minutes?

edit: and wtf @ the one hour mark!

You're such a FREAK.

I'm in! I dig the Lemos and SIS type stuff, and noticed a Lawler track on there, been listening to a lot of 2002-2003 era Lawler in inspiration for my genre challenge mix, so it'll be interesting to hear what he's up to nowadays.

I'm so sick of Distrait that it makes me not want to download this set

But:

Sis - Sum [Bubu Mitu Recordings]
Edu Imbernon - Cieza (Daniel Marques Remix) [CDR]
Mark Asbrey & Oliver Brooks - This Is Charlie Parker [CDR]
Markus Fix - Research [Cecille]
Steve Lawler - Distrait (Livio & Roby Remix) [Systematic]
M.in & Ynk - Capetown River Boating [Weplayminimal]
M.in & Ynk - 6000 Dollars [Weplayminimal]

Makes me interested

a bit of looping at some points yes. Alright, thanks for clearing up your comment. With a lot of very percussive music, you pretty much have no choice to ride the eq a lot to stay out of the red and to make it not sound like a construction boot convention in a very small dryer

Actually i appreciate the honesty in your review. This set is quite different than a lot of what i have done before, and i can't claim to be able to please everyone by playing some music that I personally enjoy.

Thanks for the listen all of the same, and i hope at the very least you enjoyed the tandoori chicken!

thanks for listening, but this will not help to inspire you for that era of lawler. This is nowhere near as dark as that. You would be much better off listening to his Lights Out comps The remix of the lawer tune is used mostly as a beat tool.

not my favourite tune either, but i needed help from it to be able to play capetown river

Nice stuff, different from what you usually play. Mixing was tight as a twelve year old and the flow was on point as usual.

Fixed.


/Just downloaded. Listening now.

The opening vocals are so sick.

I am noticing a trend here.

Grab my cock and tell me stories, renzy.

very well done technically, nice job. I enjoyed the start until about the 50th minute, with 1 or 2 track dislikes between, rest didnt really appeal to me -- im sure it will tickle the balls of others tho. luv that track at 22minz, trak after seksi too. peeece gnagsta keep itreaal fasho

I enjoyed this, I can sort of understand the strange mixing, at points it seemed odd, but it kept things interesting.
For me especially cos there was quite a lot in here I had lined up to put in my next mix haha
cheers for playing my tune

Twas probably my favorite track in the whole set, didn't even know it was yours

Took a listen last night. Definitely some great tunes to be heard here, although it did get a bit too "ethnic" for my tastes at times. Despite that, the flow and programming were solid and mixing was flawless as far as I could tell.

Definitely made studying for finals a lot more enjoyable. Might throw this on my ipod and give a more attentive listen later.

stolen from argy ft bajka - upon ourselves (just the intro and outro edited for what i needed). The song is good, i just would not really play it in this set

thanks mark, and when you give me the masters of blylatz (sic?) i will play that as well The odd mxing was an hommage to me trying to do a ricardoesque set. Without the records that will not be out for another 2 years of course. I look forward to your set man

I appreciate the honest review and am glad you were able to enjoy some of it. I have been trying to do a different sounding set the last few times i put stuff up. For instance i was originally planning on doing a set that paid tribute to soma fm's secret agent channel, but trying to edit a lot of the tracks i wanted to use into being dj friendly was very time consuming. Think big band meets cool lounge meets idm, it would have been weird for sure, but hopefully i can still pull it off. Like i said before, the "ethnic" thing has a lot to do with really looking forward to seeing ricardo villalobos in the sun. I guess you can say i am also a bit bored of the pink plonk i used to play a lot.
