-- So what IS up with Dubfire anyway?
Pages (6): « 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 »

I thought 'roadkill' was decent enough but other than that, I really dont see the quality in his productions/dj sets to justify all the hype. I got a mix CD of his free with this month's Mixmag...not into at all to be honest. As many people have said, the sound has been totally over-done. The CD is far too blipidy-blopidy for my liking. I was never a fan of the 'minimal' movement and Dubfire certainly brings nothing to the table that would make me change my mind.

By the way, (this is totally irrelevant!) rumour has it that it costs up to 20,000euro to book Deep Dish for an event....I wonder how much Dub-thehottestthingindancemusicrightnow-fire is charging?!

Not only is it clear that you haven't really ever even listened to many of my sets, but also that you could really, really use a dictionary and/or some reading comprehension classes.

Keep on reaching though. I'm sure your family and friends are proud of all you've accomplished.

wait wait guys, who are we hating on once you guys are done with dubfire? lol

Re-worked hate, I take it.

His recent release are a bit overhyped. But in my opinion they aren't bad releases. Sven Vath opened with ribcage at a show last month and the roof exploded. It's not a classic track but still pretty decent.

DJ-wise i think dufire is one of the few dj's that somehow always can play a good set. I saw him playing various times and he never disappointed me nor heard any technical fuckups.

my question for the bashers out here:

which dj do you like? which dj has high potential?

Originally posted by basvh my question for the bashers out here: which dj do you like? which dj has high potential?

A few answers to both (in no particular order):

Danny Howells, Lee Burridge, Mazi, Sven Vath, Punisher, Funk D'Void, Minilogue, Marc Romboy, Dave Clarke, Joris Voorn, Michel de Hey, Gui Boratto, Matthew Dear, Jimmy van M, John Digweed, Luke Fair, James Zabiela, Ben Sims, John Patterson, Pier Bucci, Lucio Aquilina... etc.



Edit: IMO, obviously.

John Digweed and Danny Howells have potential? Don't look now but I think Peyton Manning and Tom Brady might be good quarterbacks.

you can comment on whatever you want m8 my comment doesn't really pertain to that...just pointing out that the experience to listening to music at home can be very different from listening to it under different circumstances

Originally posted by SMC Sensory overload and good music are not the same thing.

Well fine, if you wanna get technical about it, there can be good music that does not affect the senses much. That said, a property of much of good music is that it does affect the senses...one would think that's obvious...

And I was pointing out that argument has been done to death and is pretty pointless.

Well, if tracks is a shit, it's a shit no matter where you listen it. Those Dubfire's track are not an exception

I don't really agree with either of you here.

I'm confused, what is there to agree with?



Oh wait, that's right - this thread has become about what a shit DJ I am, and that because I am so utterly shit, I'm not allowed to comment on anything else what-so-ever.

Right on. Nice one.

lol very good observation. i completely agree. it's even more obvious than the observation that if a track is not shit, whether it sounds like shit still depends on where you listen to it.

Originally posted by 4clubber whether it sounds like shit still depends on where you listen to it.

No it doesn't.

Thought Roadkill was pretty catchy and it quickly grew on me, Ribcage was just boring - one grating sound repeated over and over again, and his new one (on the BP top 10) sounds like an even-duller rehash of Ribcage. Another decent DJ/producer lost to the minimal bandwagon... I liked Deep Dish in their Yoshiesque days.

Well, if I'm drunk as hell it can be the biggest shit I've ever listen, maybe I will like it. .

Still played in bars & pubs the world over.

@ RJT: You pwned this thread

I don't agree with Jason calling you a shit DJ about as much as I don't agree with you insinuating that anyone who touches a dubfire track is committing a crime against humanity.

Where have I said that? Further, and as you well know, I play his remix of "Transit Time" - so wouldn't that be a bit self-defeating?



Nothing I've said has anything to do with anything other than my own opinion. Anyone reading anything further into it than that is either making bold assumptions about what I'm saying without actually reading it or completely misinterpreting what I've posted.

well if you play it then at least learn its name

Edited because you bust out the rolleyes and turned a casual afternoon on the internet into serious business.

It is, however, nice to know that all people have left to do is nitpick.
