I don't know what is it with everyone that says his mixing is shit...I saw him live on February and he fucking rocked the place. I didn't hear one single fuckup and I'm the kind of guy that notices that sort of thing at parties. Not that I'm focusing on that trying to find any, but I just notice.

IMO, he played the best set I've ever heard LIVE...only second to Hernan Cattaneo's set on October 4th. In track selection, programming and mixing. He probably had an inspired night, who knows?

holden impressed the hell out of me this year, every set i've downloaded has been great (piknik elektronik/dance dept/klubbers fm etc).

saw him live too and he fuckin rocked it, i hadn't seen him since his balance tour (obviously a long time ago), so it was good to see that technically he has come a long way from where he was. he also seemed to be a lot more confident, seemed really into what he was playing.

What do you put into your live sets that has made you a dancefloor favorite for the past decade?

"I’m a dance floor favorite? Great! I would say the passion that I feel for the music I buy and the honesty with how I play it. I play the records I love not the ones that simply work. I’ve never taken the easy music option (which would make me a lot more money by the way) but chosen to push people a little. I try to draw people in a new direction slightly and expand their taste a little more than other DJ’s." - Lee Burridge

Thanks


as with any show you go to the best thing you could do is go there expecting NOTHING.

me neither, I dont know where people get this from, I have heard lots of his sets and yes there is an occasional trainwreck, but I dont care because the two tracks he mixes fits so well together and the intention of the mix is brilliant most times, maybe people noticing those trainwrecks are put off by the bad beatmatching and just label the transition "bad" because of that. Again, he always manages to get back on track despite a few seconds of thrumbling (is that a word?) beats



like allied nations put it, he is one of those djs where I dont care about beatmatching.
