Ilario Alicante - Living Near Africa

Does anyone know what the guy is saying on this track? This is my guess:

"I pray for them, I just fall in love with, I just want to hear it, yeah me too, yeah i like Sven, but back to normal, I'm not looking for work, i have sombreros."

I wonder if Sven Vath plays this because it sounds like his name is mentioned in it? These are the things I think about on my lunchbreak on a Thursday while listening to this sven vath set (which is one of his all time best imo):

[[ LINK REMOVED ]]

It's easier to hear what he says on the B side remix.

And he's not talking about sombreros.

Yea I've been wondering since I first heard the track too. But I think he says something about being Swahilli and looking for oil. Really not sure.

The track after "Living In Africa" on that Sven Vath set is madness, any clue of an ID?

as much as I love sven vath, you have to question what the fuck he is doing still playing total departure in 2009.

Sven likes to make small alterations to his tracklist as time goes by. He'll add a few songs and subtract a few, is what I noticed. He's also still playing Grindhouse and D.P.O.M.B.

yes but the way he plays grindhouse makes it sound new again to me. i never hear anyone play it in almost its entirety, allowing it to build and then drag on the entire 10min or whatever length. and who cares if a track he plays is old, the only people that care are snobby fedora wearin chin strokers.

Ilario FTW!

my problem is not with older tracks, older tracks placed right will make a good set classic. My problem with sven is that he plays the same exact set for 1 year straight. You figure playing the same tracks over and over and over, he would be able to make a decent transition that lasted more than 20 seconds.

it's something about zimbabwe? then swahili, He has no work, he's looking for work, and now he sells sombrero's

oh and I tihnk he says he's 22 as well.

Also, I think Vacaciones en Chile is Ilario's most solid track so far.

you usually can't go wrong with Tenax releases.

You really don't like him eh?

Obviously V�th isn't playing the same set over and over again for a whole year but it's definitely clear that he still plays a lot of older tunes during the winter months when he's touring with his new 'Sound Of The ... Season'. Besides, the stuff that leaks on the internet are often only substracts from a longer set OR sets at bigger venues (which also explains the tune selection).

And, again, he really can make a decent transition that lasts longer than 20 seconds.

no no no...i enjoyed the parties he has played that i attended at a lot..but let be real here, he is more of a sideshow than being anything near one of the better dj's of his style. He gets major longevity points and the electrica salsa video always makes me lulz.

when someone mentions sven, the first thing that gets talked about is making out with richie hawtin, or the time he got his ass kicked by a bouncer for taking a shit in the middle of a club...not his ability.

please do not sit here and tell me he is very technical.

see the thing is, ill ask you or any other techno expert who is better, and you will give me an example that is way too repetitive and boring and only the techno connaiseur will enjoy. another problem is dj scenesters equate skill and ability with how long a dj can hold a mix. that's the problem with kids these days, they think its all about the beatmatching. wanna see ability? try keeping a floor moving for hours on end. its a lost art, the art of actual DJ'ing that is. you can take your 1min+ long mixes and shuv it, ill take an actual dj please thank you.

whaaambulance?

i guess tiesto is awesome then.

you are saying a dj can't be technical and keep the crowd moving for hours?

shenanigans.

haha. oh well, i was hoping you would continue the conversation ...

i responded before you edit ...

no theres definitely those that can do both, but its really not needed a lot of times. you can definitely overdo the beatmatching thing and bore the dancefloor to death. but to say a dj is not talented just because he has short mixes is wrong. he just has a different mixing style than most. btw he does actually do very long mixes too, he doesn't just do one type of mix, most people just like to foxus on and point out the short transitions as a source of criticism.

i critique even those i enjoy if it is any consultation...
