Paolo Mojo's recent productions...

Fucking souless imo. Really cashing in on the "in sounds" with every release.

"Paris" sounded heavily influenced by his buddy Prydz, wonder if he helped...

"Nightlaw/Home" were terrible takes at the "minimal" sound...

And now his newest release "Sirena/Release" is absolute rubbish.

Did ANYONE buy these?

so?

edit: i play home out frequently.. great track

yeah I've been a little disappointed, he needs to go back to making solid house music

and I loved 1983 too, none of these recent ones can touch that

Cant say I've liked most of his tunes actually...Ruckus was a fun one.

Should stick to the tables, and his more housey style at that.

the dude makes what he wants to... props to him for that

I like Nightlaw and Home actually.. Home i got for free thanks to Beatport promotion, nightlaw i bought recently..

I like that discotech 12" he did. THe B side

he is a dj trying to produce and not the other way around like we usually see.

There are producers doing way worse than he is at capitalizing on "that sound" right now (Someone needs to tell Popof to "please stop"). Nightlaw, Home, Sirena, and Release are all very, very generic sounding tunes - but they're generic sounding tunes that are at the very least well produced.

In general, I've never really thought his productions were anything special (Other than Kymtech and his remix of the Fibonacci Sequence) - but as a DJ he is shit-hot, so if these are the tunes that are going to keep him on top of his game, more power to him I guess.

Yeah I think his productions have been going down hill as well, they're just not the Paolo Mojo I fell in love with

Same with his djing, I'm usually very excited to hear him spin, I think he always plays a great set. But I saw him at the Beatport pool party in Miami and I wasn't feeling it at all I'm glad things are going well for him though, he's pretty big now...first few times I saw him no one had any idea who he was.

I'm in the same boat. I used be like, "Go Mojo Go Mojo Go!" and now I'm kinda like, "Go Mojo G...meh."

+2

his new tracks are utter shit imho

and i disagree..their not that well produced imho

and i definitely would take a popof track over these new mojo tracks anyday

I listened to a sample of one of his new tracks the other day and it sounded like he was copying prydz heavily. 1983 was 'nuff tuneage though.

Didn't know his following was getting bigger. I would've thought the opposite since he's taking the path of every other DJ/producer out there. Thought he was at his peak when he came down here in 2006(?), around the same time as his balance release. His show actually put him in my "top 10 favorite sets."

I guess respect needs to be given when deserved though, the man likes variety.

Dunno what happened to him, he used to play such great sets. I think he kind of lost direction (at least from my pov)

The tracks are proper club music, being a talented DJ, his production work is pretty good. Its not like every DJ out there makes great music, hes one of the few that does well at balancing the two at least.
Your just a hater biotch. ;p

No idea what the personal attack is for, but power to you for going with the screen name bit, never seen that one. My mistake for coming up with it I guess.

Anyways, "proper club music" my ass. Really like to know what clubs you attend to make this assumption.

And there's by far more than just a "few" DJs out there who can hold their own on the production side too.

edit: and nice try on the ninja edit you tool.

John Digweed @ Bedrock Paolo Mojo - Nightlaw




Iplaywitlights* can you name new DJ's that can DJ and produce well.

This is the video you came up with? Everyone standing around. Well done.

New (I don't know what your idea of new is, seeing as how Paolo isn't a new DJ ) DJs that produce well:
Jamie Jones
Martin Buttrich (don't really think I need to go further than here)
Aeroplane
Martin Landsky
Dixon
Guy Gerber
Sebo K
Sascha Dive
Falko Brockseiper
Jimpster

Keep going?

I wouldnt put many of those in the same league of Paolo Mojo when it comes to talent and success. There really arent that many talented DJ's that have a lot of talent/success in DJ'n and also have great production work. I guess the reason why I point it out is that Paolo Mojo has a rather successful DJ career for the past few years, and manages to put out decently good music. But still even if all those guys did fit the talent/success bill thats a small list, compared to the amount of people who DJ and Produce, especially these days.

I'm a huge fan of Digweed, but just because he plays Mojo's tracks doesn't trump the fact that they lack in quality (imo).

And needing names for people who can produce as well as DJ is pretty fucking stupid. I think it's almost a necessity these days if you want to be in the big league...

bas named quite a few good ones (Jimpster and Buttrich first came to mind), but I'd like to add Neil Quigley and James Zabiela too, who imo are far better known for their mixing capabilities.

Anyways, off to work...continue this later

You're wrong. They are definitely on par with Paolo in terms of a DJ career. Just because none of them would be caught dead touring with Dubfire doesn't mean they're not successful.

edit // DEFINITELY Neal Quigley!! He's a fantastic DJ and his tracks are luuuussshhh.

And Lions...I can keep that list going if you'd like.

Yah but the argument is that there arent that many producers who produce great music, AND are talented, have rather busy successful DJ careers at the same time. Not many DJ/Producers are juggling that. Between having a constant stream of gigs, doing mixshows, and doing big mix compilations, at the same time putting out proper club music. Sure there are a lot of producer's who DJ too, and DJ's who produce too, with the advant of the laptop and dumbing down of the DJ craft, they are a dime a dozen. But not many that are busy/talented DJ's and manage to put out decently good music.
