friend of mine was considering going as the mau5man for halloween and i was like "you're kidding me right"
he's jazzed as hell for the upcoming show at the congress and i just don't understand how you could be such a big fan of such a mediocre dj who occasionally puts out solid tunes

There is always going to be hate in people's blood get over it.

As far as I'm concerned pretty much everyone at that party is a fucking tool.
Posted by Schadenfreude on Nov-05-2009 23:16:
yeah.
although even i hate to admit that they have made a good track or 2.
considering they have released like 5 million of them it was bound to happen.

Bar maybe one or two tunes like you said, I honestly would prefer to listen to Anjunabeats than Steve Angello/Swedish House Mafia. Honestly. They are ear-splittingly offensive.

Get fucked. Swedish House Mafia have made some of the finest commercial club music this decade. Their tracks are accessible and superficial, but they're good quality for what they set out to achieve. I like most of their pre-2006 stuff.

Get fucked? Er don't take it to heart mate...
Anyways, Pitbull - You Know You Want Me (or whatever the fuck it's called) is superficial and accessible, and would come under the banner of commerical house music. Now, I have previously stated that they've released a few quality tracks in the past, but by and large, they really do fit the description you just provided, because I can't tell the difference between alot of the stuff they play and something like Pitbull. It really is lowest common denominator music to my ears, and it's made painfully worse by Angello's horrendous attitude/ego.
All my own opinion however, no need to get hurt
EDIT: Btw I'm mainly talking about their DJing, I'll let them off ever so slightly on the production front because (at the risk of repeating myself) they've had some nice tracks in the past.

Hurt?
I thought if anyone understood the value of day to day playful swearing it was the Irish.
That has no melody and no percussion. It's just a basic beat with some tool rapping over the top. How is that anything like the tracks I posted, which have energy, percussion and recognisable melodic hooks? You are kidding yourself if you think the Pitbull track is at all similar. It is made for the radio, whereas the SHM tracks are made for clubs. There is a difference.

John Dahlback has put out more productions than the rest of his country combined, and he's got about 5 good tracks to show for it, a few of them being collaborations to boot.
Jesper > John.
I fucking love that track, I wish I could find it in decent quality digital format, all I have is the vinyl.
edit: turning this thread into a discussion about which Swedes are the best musicians is going to be fairly fucking pointless when you have names like Adam Beyer, Joel Mull, Par Grindvik, Minilogue/Son Kite, Ticon, Solar Fields, et cetera.

as far as jesper vs john i agree, because i am a techno twat.
all i am saying is that i have seen both play (john and steve although not together) and john is the best "dj" from the meatball mafia.
i was actually impressed.
angello could not mix betty crocker cake mix.
axwell is not far removed from basshunter;p

The Swedish House Mafia is just the four: Prydz, Axwell, Angello & Ingrosso.
I haven't seen Prydz play, but Axwell is a decent DJ in the commercial realm. He plays fun, accessible stuff but not cheese. There is a difference. He has also come up with a lot of decent mash-ups in his time.
Angello & Ingrosso are atrocious DJs. Even when they were making good productions, their DJing was terrible.

The only good things Steve Angello ever did were his remark about shoes in that thread and punch Paris Hilton's bitch.

82-83, Acid, Funked, Yeah, Yo Yo Kidz, Wear It Out, Euro, Yourself, Breathe, Raining Again.
Bullshit. He's done heaps of good stuff.

Music doesn't have to be deep to be enjoyable. I'm not claiming these are masterpieces; I'm simply saying they are good club tracks, which is exactly what they were intended to be. I love dropping tracks like 82-83 when I DJ house parties; they are accessible enough for the pop music losers to enjoy them, but also good enough that the proper music heads can get into it too. They are perfectly balanced in my opinion.

You like pop music. Gotcha.

I like plenty of pop music, and so do you. What's wrong with that? As long as it's good pop music it's fine.

Also, apart from Raining Again, how many of those tracks do you actually know?

Yes I do. Why are you being so defensive?
