It could be construed as bagging on another style of music which is an important part of the whole house music scene.. I simply think that such a view is rather narrow-minded.

Also the one thing we do have to remember is that this set is a live recorded set and if the crowd was reacting well to that kind of stuff then he's bound to stick with it. He's not thinking much about whether it will sound good through computer speakers.

Good point to keep in mind when listening to ANY live set. Sometimes they translate really poorly to someone listening to the set on a laptop in their lounge

Dana is quickly becoming one of my fav dj's. This track - Groove Armada - History (Still Going remix) is great.

PS: Go the nu-disco trend...I'm so sick of minimal tech house :-)

Nah not any bagging on music, just on amount of djs who play that genre ... BTW its not ok to criticise a dj who give us only 2 sets this year, if u dont go for a party where he play u dont have any right to grade his style ...

There is good nu-disco and there is bad nu-disco. Most of what is being played out there atm labeled as nu-disco is just slowed down deep house imo, and a bunch of it is very boring.

Skele Cam: I do like a bunch of disco records myself, just digg a little deeper than the nudisco section on beatport. Anthony Mansfield as you say is class, I rate him, same with Todd Terje, Prince Thomas, Diskjokke, Nick Chacona, Nicholas, the list goes on. What I am tired of is all the bandwagon jumpers who played minimal 2 years ago, because that was the thing then. Ah well I shall stop my rant, wasnt the intention of the post. Tried to point out that I thought Desyns set was great, but prob has something to do with it that I was there for the full set, got drunk and hanged out with some new cool friends too

Didnt just big up Desyn because he is a friend, he is still one of the best out there imo, and has some of the most amazing music you can get your hands on.

have a good day guys

Here are couple videoclips I recorded, maybe you get a different impression:

i totally agree with you erik about the bandwagon jumpers that played minimal 2 years ago and now are playing this filtered house/disco sound just cuz it's 'in'. but what i was referring to about desyn is the music he played from 2004-2007 or so and compare it too this set, you can tell his style has totally changed. we all know edm has evolved over the years going through a variety of different trends and styles, i just would never have thought desyn would play tracks like he does now a few years ago..not like there's anything wrong with that, i mean if you compare anything that i played from 2004-2007 and now i'm sure you can tell i evolved and changed a bit as a dj too. i guess its inevitable to any dj in the scene nowadays to kind of evolve and change style's as you see fit...

it also seems like every dj has there heyday and glory days in which the records people are putting out, fit the style that the dj is going for. desyn's heyday seems to be that in 04-07 sound which seemed very happy, upbeat and just quality house music (all very disco influenced), closest thing to that sound to me nowadays, is that nu-disco sound that's coming out now which is why i put the argument out there to begin with.

its more or less impossible to find the music that desyn played 04-07... they dont make it any longer (producers) they all started doing minimal or progressive house instead and a few tech house..... i go thru tons of music and there is max 5 % that is close..as you said the closest is the nu-disco sound but its still far away from that funky style desyn played back in the days

Balerik is right in what he says as is what I said earlier about the set being played to the live crowds needs rather than the online audience.
BUT that still leaves the question open.. Who decided that this section of the live set was good enough to represent him on an online radiostation?
DJing online means you are going out as a guest on a radio station to a broad selection of people and this is where you need to impress new listeners surely as well as give your current fans something special and remind them why they love your music.

Tom says at the start that desyn needs no introduction but believe it or not, there are still alot of people who have never heard of him. The set was poorly chosen considering it's audience, which in itself is poor DJing if it was desyn himself that sent the mix over.

Desyn will still remain my favourite DJ as will SOS as my favourite act but watching them both live recently, the 2006 version of themselves still rule compared to them at the moment.


Posted by balErik on Sep-22-2010 18:32:

Desyn chose the part of the set that was aired. Maybe he will release the full set at some point... I dont know.


Posted by Nightly on Sep-22-2010 19:07:

That's a nice thought, I hope he does, as a long live set I think people will understand the mix better. How he got the that point, how he progressed from that section we heard etc etc.

In reply to their not being enough good house out there. I think that's rubbish. I can't say I would be able to find it myself but there are enough DJs out there still finding that stuff. So it must still be out there.

Defo, tonns of great music out there, finding loads every week after browsing through about 14.000 tunes every week, hard work, was defo easier when it was only vinyl out there...

this might go a lil' off-topic, anyways.. I used to do these sample listening spree's for a couple of weeks and IMO thats a big big waste of time as long as djing is not your main job.

why? I used to find, lets say, 1-2 good or long lasting tracks during a 1,200 sample session plus couple more tracks I considered okay and playable just because I has happy to finally hear something that is not crappy as hell.

So in the end I spend several hours a day finding a bunch of average tracks (that I might have not considered when I would have listening to fewer and better tracks) plus a very few really good ones *that* are also out on 12"

about recent desyn:

why in all the heaven does he play this mikalogic track called "spiritual healing" that often?

(also mentioning that he gave it the pole position in his latest chart)

IMO it is ok, but veeery repetitive and after the 2nd-3rd listen it goes from "average/nice" to "ok..NEXT, please!"

my 2 cents...
