Thanks a lot guys! I hope you enjoy it.

So I really enjoyed your set. Very nice. Your style reminds me a bit of DJ Vibe (Antonio Perreira). Could I bother you for a track list. Thanks man!

re:

Glad you liked it!

Of course, I will put the tracklist here once I'll be back home tonight...;-)

Man, this is a really wicked set here. I love the opening track, it sounds like old-skool house but I'm pretty sure it's 1 of Green Velvet's track It fits their style, other than that, I haven't heard these tracks before. Definitely some REAL good shit here man. I like your style! Keep those set's coming!

Dude

I tried !

But listening to this kind of linear tribal house is like getting stung by a bee for me

Although the first 15 minutes are pretty neat !!

great set man
I've listening to it a couple of times and I like it
the first 15 mins is my favorite part too

I have only a little complain tho
maybe because this part is not really my thing

le bout tribal house y� nice pareil, sauf ca sonne vraiment tunes clich�s d'afterhours qu'on entend partout
mais en meme temps tes DJ dans un after fak c'est peut-etre normal
sauf ca me fait penser au genre de son qu'on entendrait au Red Lite, mais eux y font jouer des mp3s et font du tribal pendant 10h en ligne

good job

re:

ha ha nice comment verm... you are so right.

If I was playing always like the first 15 minutes, i'm not even sure I could play as a Saturday Dj.

What I found very efficient (for Saturday crowds) is doing 50-50. I will go everywhere from electro-clash to dark progressive... to vocal house.... and will always a drop a WTF? track in there.

I guess that set is a little like that too... and if you download the 1h45 mix, you can feel clearly that after about 3 dark progressive tracks, i will jump back with a different track.

BTW, I forgot to mention that there's a live 1h45 mix from January... Deeper and darker... you can get it at

Creator - live jan 2005

This one is not on my DJ page, because it's kinda big.

Alright, so I just finished listening to "Alone", and I must say: ABSOLUTELY GREAT SET. I liked it even more than "Electric Head".

Comments:

Starts off very electroish, with a great opening track, and continues along those lines till about 19:00. Dropping Tiga's "Pleasure from the Bass" at 14:00 was pure class by the way.

Transition into more proggy house sound at 19:00 is flawless, with a beautiful track with some serene vocals. AND THEN, at 24:55 and for the next two minutes, I get a mini-orgasm listening to "Flashdance" superimposed over tribal drums I really wish you had let that run a little more, as two minutes was simply too little for me and I found myself cueing it back to 24:55 about seventeen times. That tribal track is absolutely brilliant by the way and flows perfectly with Flashdance.

At about 30:00, a brilliant remix of what I believe is Talking Heads's "Psycho Killer" (you'll have to confirm that) is meshed in perfectly. 35:05 ---> transition wasn't bad but not the greatest. Becomes much more dark, proggy and tribally after 38:00 with some absolutely booming bass for the next 14 minutes or so. 52:08 ---> transition was good but not great. The last couple of tracks to finish off the set were good in themselves, but I felt they didn't jive well with that part of the set. That last track in particular, while damn good, didn't belong there. I think the set would have been better off at the end with some more hard dark proggy house or tribal to feed off the intensity of the previous tracks. The last two were a bit slow for my taste considering what was being played before.

I have to say though that the set was absolutely great overall. Your mixing is almost flawless, except perhaps for some small improvements that could be made on the very minor transition notes I made above. I think your greatest strength is your ability to blend in different styles almost seemlessly both in terms of mixing and track selection. I'll definitely need to check you out again at Aria next time I come in. Keep up the good work!!!!

re:

Thank you epicurus for taking the time to analyze Alone... I feel exactly the same way about it... not that it's great (;0) but that I lost the idea of the set in the last 1/3... When I did that set I was in fact Alone... Just split with my girlfriend. I was feeling cold about it, and then sad, and then angry... that set tries to go along that roller coaster.

Thanks TA for listening. I feel that you take music very seriously, I have a lot of respect for that.

Hey man, no worries and always my pleasure. As for the break-up with the gf, I can only guess (and hope) that expressing your emotions in the form of producing music must have made you feel a bit better. And not to sound like an ass, but maybe you should start dating and breaking up more often if you're going to produce a quality set like that everytime

As for that track, Tristan Da Cunha's Livewire is indeed a retake of Talkin' Heads classic "Psycho Killer". Click here. I recognize those vocals anywhere: "I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire." Actually the following verse in the original is "Don't touch me I'm a real live wire", which is where I assume he gets the name of that track. Anyway, keep it up!!!
