Sean Miller - "Studio City" w/ Remix by Livio & Roby - [Stereo Cool]

New release from Sean out today on 'Stereo Cool'

Typical sleazy sound from him, great groove

The b-side is just as good, remixed by Livio & Roby.

Available on Beatport

I find it pretty boring...sounds too much like other groovy releases in the last few months. The remix is more suitable towards my tastes, but again, nothing special. I'm a little bit sick of hearing the same piano sound sample recycled over and over in these kinds of house tracks...I know Sean can come up with something more original than this.

funny, i was thinking this was one of the more original releases i've heard in sometime. sure the piano hook is relatively common sounding, but the rest of the track i find to be very unique.

toss up between which i'm feeling more, i have to lean more towards the b-side.... it's got more of a big-room sound to it.

Not bad at all, I can see this owning a terrace.

the original right? hehe

Does Sean pay you to whore his stuff all over this website?

Excellent question.

For such a lackluster producer and DJ, the seeming admiration that Floorwhore has for him is confusing...

These tunes are OK, but just that, and nothing at all more.

And for the record, I really do think the only reason Lawler has Miller open for him is because by the end of Sean's sets, the crowd is so bored that Lawler could play the worst set of his life and still sound like the worlds greatest DJ...

Thats a pretty lame slam on Sean...the sets I've heard from him warming up for lawler have all been really good. Not to mention that like I've said before, his closing set for Lawler I heard last year was almost better than Steve's set.

The "slam" is based solely on my experiences with his sets and productions, and is no different from what I'd say of any other producer/DJ for whom I have an equal distaste for.

I just don't think he's this great DJ - Beyond that, when I saw him live, every single person I was with asked "Why is this guy opening for Lawler/When is he going to do something interesting?" This was on top of a dancefloor that essentially looked like it was asleep. I'd even go so far as to say my comments on Sean were "nice" by comparison. Beyond that, his demos have consistently bored me, and I've given him plenty of chances - I just don't feel Sean Miller is the caliber of DJ or producer that you'd have me believe he is, and it's based solely on my experiences with him.

No.

Sean just happens to play a style of house that not only i enjoy listening to, but I also play a style very similar. Sleazy, groovy house music. He is also a local, and when quality comes out of the city I live in - fuck yes I will whore it. He deserves the recognition.

To those who question why Steve chose Sean to be his opening dj on tour, it's simple really. He has a style that is perfect for warming up a party, and it complements Steve's style to a tee.

I couldn't possibly disagree with a statement more.

i'm a sucker for retro-sounding house tunes with infectious piano hooks, so these sound like they're right up my alley.

also, i don't think it's fair to review or form an opinion of a song after only hearing the Beatport sample. the samples don't really do justice to most tunes. especially with longer/proggier songs, you really need to hear how it builds and progresses, or hear it in the context of a set... but i'll be purchasing these so i'll wait until after i hear the full tracks to make my review.

I'm sure Lawler would be all ears in regards to your opinion.

My point is simply that this is all subjective.

I merely offered my opinion, as you and others have, and they just happen to conflict with some of yours.

And just as my opinion may be worthless in the eyes of you or others, on this subject I would happen to take Lawler's with a grain of salt; His opinion is no more meaningful than anyone elses.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree huh?

reason why i didn't buy the tune. the sample didnt do justice so i just went ok this is eh..pass...these sites need to add better samples, im not gonna waste money on a tune just knowing it with a 30 sec sample at 14 kbps, sorry not gonna happen. i either hafta hear it on set from some1 or d/l the live set rip off other sources just to hear a better quality and longer sample of it.

actually i find it kinda fun and exciting to take chances on songs after only hearing a 1:30min sample. sometimes you end up with a few songs that aren't what you thought they were going to be, and maybe they suck balls, but other times you end up with amazingly sick tunes that you normally wouldn't have given a chance. sometimes if i'm really undecided on a tune, i'll just see if i can find another sample on another digital download site to get another perspective on it.

i find it really hard to regret spending money on music, so it all balances out in the end for me.

i dig both of 'em, but i think they're not really tracks that are all too enjoyable on their own. i've only listened to them by themselves but i think they'll sound better in the context of a set... so i'm looking forward to playing them out this weekend!

and hey, thanks for the listen. i'm glad you enjoyed the set!

Myra officially just made this track cool.

I was shocked too.
