no, no, im not comparing them two.
its just that i was sure that lawler will be lawler for a loong time, if not till the end of his career. u know, dark dirty, drummy lawler. all of a sudden..... well you know.
seeing glaude sping electro-ish house for like an hour after rivera made me think deeply. cause if glaude and lawler turned, who do we have left to r5epresent the funk?
are we safe? |
we're never safe. you can't predict how an artist will evolve, nor can he/she. they have to express themselves with the best tool that accomplishes that feat. you just have to pray there is always music out there for you to love.
with respect to migs, i can't imagine, as soulful as deep house is, that any of those DJs would leave that genre, but who knows?
this trend (or at least a hint of transgression) of dark tribal artists drifting to electro/minimal - lawler, vibe (in his may dancefloor sets), clive henry aka peace division (a little in his recent promo set), saeed (playing rej in his bulgaria set) - is disheartening at best.
i at least enjoyed lawler's style of rockin' the electro (Partynight June 2005 ftw), but i hate this minimal game. but hey, i've still got hernan, d-formation, desyn masiello, oscar g, and even saeed hasn't scared me away with one track because it's a good one.
all that said, promo sets are promo sets, and i can't judge these guys based on one or even two years of work. they're broadening their horizons and expanding their artistic minds. i actually can't wait to see what they do next. it's better than getting stuck in one game and never knowing if you can diversify your artistic abilities.
