Apparently he is playing at WMC this year. I am highly interested in seeing him as well as his productions the past year and a half have been phenominal, as well as his earlier work with Leama. If he keeps up his pace, I predict him being in the top 5 no later than 2007.
heh...well. *shrugs* I dunno |
Leama & Moor make the sickest duo ever. Everytime I hear "Getting Away (L&M Mix)" by Above & Beyond I get goosebumps all over as to how those two cats managed to pull off such a wicked choon.
I was at HUSH on friday night and had a little convo with the dj there about dance/electronica music in TX. It's pretty sad when you ask someone of that nature if they know who Armin Van Buuren is, and their answer is simply NO. That makes you wonder, as a tranceaddict, if you're living in the right place.
I agree with Matthias about the concept behind the actual "name" of the artist and how it can affect the crowd in a venue. Last year I worked as a Loss Prevention Officer at a department store in Katy and thankfully ran into my partner, who had somewhat of knowledge on trance music. So here goes my happy ass about to bust out talking about this choon, and that choon, Markus Schultz, AVB, Blank & Jones, Danjo & Styles, blah blah blah. His only words were..."HUH?" He knew nothing about the hundreds of dj's that I know. Rather, he knew just the basic names such as Tiesto, PVD, ATB, Oakenfold, and so forth.
It kinda sucks that thats the way it works here. So be it! As long as those brave men from the UK and Europe continue producing the best music they have to offer, then I'm perfectly fine down here. Getting to promote gigs with the names we love (i.e. Schultz, Gab&Dres., Andy Moor, etc.) is a tough challenge here in the states. Only time will tell and we will just have to sit back, relax, and hope and pray that the US will reckon those artists like they do in Europe. As long as we're getting a taste of the music, I'll continue living like a happy camper
