And his recent Fabric was fucking awful.

As a dj, I think (going on the times I've seen him) he is fuckin excellent. As a producer I think he's seen better days.

Dexter and 808 the bassqueen are among my favourite tracks of all time, but I haven't heard anything in the last 2-3 years from him thats grabbed my attention like these tracks.

Also r&r l'essentiall is a solid tune.

I'd venture a guess that a lot of it has to do with having actually seeing/hearing him live, 'cuz the sets I've heard seem like they'd be great in person, but don't always make for the best bedroom listening. (cue 'goes off great in a club' comments)

...though his Fabric was awesome imo, too.

Yeah - living in the U.S. that obviously is the biggest problem for anyone trying to get into Villalobos, because you just aren't going to see him - ever - unless you travel out of the country.

And as far as his Fabric disc - I just thought it was boring and uninspired with little to no sense of flow, clearly all matters of personal preference/opinion.

I know.

Laurent Garnier did it in the Cloud making machine, then Kollektiv Turmstrasse included kiddish sounds in Grillen Im Park. Seems to be the new cool thing. Positive vibe though.

Grillen Im Park originally came out a couple years ago, though, iirc. It was on some recent label comp., but it was even before Melodrama, I think.

Cloud Making Machine is new?

I, for one, love this track. I love the bell sample he's using and the way the kids sing. Slamming stuff.

Ya I believe it's a piano, whatever it is, it's really hypnotic

Originally posted by chesco I'm pretty certain there is no bassline to the original track. Its just a piano melody and the vocal.. The bassline is just from another tune in the mix. Notice how its different in the second video. Decent track. not something you'd catch me playing but still alright to hear in a club.

You don't seriously expect me to watch another video with this horrible joke of a track, do you?! You might be right, but I still think this one is horrible. What genre is this supposed to be anyway? If there's no name yet, I'll gladly supply some.
