When he played with Radio Slave in Miami on tues night it was empty

yeah, he's definitely not the right dj for the miami crowd lol

the following here in his home town is not even that big

some people just can't get into it.
then again it is a monday night party


he really does his own thing, and you just have to respect it. it's something completely different from what deejaying has become



man i can't even describe the warm feeling when i walk in and hear those cavernous dub echoes, feel the chilled air, and smell the incense burning...instant smiles. the only party in the city where i can get my raw dub and dub techno fix (without the trendiness and distraction of some dubstep)

and he's alway plays great vintage disco, techno, electro, and generally sick records that i would never hear anywhere else with a sprinkling of well selected classics

sometimes they even serve jamaican food and rastafarians come out and speak out over the resonance


but you can really see how much he loves it when he plays. I think the only time I saw him unhappy was after WMC when he must have been exhausted, and the whole NYC scene who went to miami didn't want to go out that monday hehe

w0rd

Solid response from him. The bitch clearly didn't care, though. "Right... right... right... mm-hmm... right... right..."

Kode9 inteview with the same girl.



She doesn't know what the hell she's doing.

Great interview, I can see where he is coming from. She does come off pretentious but she was following what he was saying and told a relevant story towards what he was trying to get accross with his view on hardcore music knowledge and "musicians" versus having a great ear.

In the EDM genre having the most music knowledge in the world cant buy you an ear, you can go to music school for years and still make shit dance music. I would speculate a majority of EDM producers have more technology knowledge and minimal music knowledge. But they still manage to make great sounding music because the interface and equipment used to make EDM music is accessible, and allows whats in the head to be painted onto the canvas. Even if a vision is not in the head, the interface and equipment allows beautiful accidents to happen that only a great ear could discover and realise as something beautiful. This is why ARP usage is famous in EDM. I think taste and a great ear goes a longer way in making EDM music than knowledge of theory or harmony, especially with Techno.

usually anything he has to say, he says right here

I'm rather fond of his new Ministy of Sound comp.

Anyway, seriously he is one down to earth mofo.
respect

I absolutely love what he says because it resonates deeply with me. I have no grandiose ambitions concerning this music, all I know is that I would be happy devoting the better part of my life to it and I cannot see myself losing interest in any time soon. The plan is to just be involved, to make music and play music, and become enamored with everything related to this bizarre fringe of dance music.

Probably the best thing you've ever said

Excellent response, probably the most honest reaction to that question i've ever seen.

Such a breathe of fresh air compared to the popular trance DJs and there "i always followed my dream, and had a little luck and one day i was..."

No jumping through hoops, just doing what you love.


Fucking great.

play the music YOU love, and the more people that just so happen to like your taste in music, the more people you will have showing up to your gigs. if nobody loves the music you play, fuck it, just keep doing what you love, even if you're playing to an empty floor at some bar, atleast you'll be keepin it real.

Naw, you gotta play the music you love, and seek opportunities to play it for people who like it too. Dance music is a lot about getting in with the right people who share your taste and ideas and working whatever niche you have found.

What a dumb bitch. Love it when he realizes where the stupid question is going and breathes in and gives that "fuck, not again!" look.

There.

That being said, I have felt this deep inside my whole life.

I just never found a better way to say it, then the way Francios just did.

..and I don't play music, I create images.
personally, I believe the energy I convey, is so because I really appreciate and understand what builds a great DJ/set/night/ etc just put your head into it, completely.

I am thankful that the promoters and party people I connect with understand that.
