Everyone's entitled to their opinion. But U R the only one I've heard or read say anything negative about Hawtin's set. Oh well, I think U R right though, it probably was the cid U took :stongue:
And thank God he did not play 'melodic' and a shitload of vocals. Save the melodies and continuous vocals for commercial house and trance. Real techno is not melodic or vocal-filled. Hawtin repeatedly built that room up and then broke it down properly IMO.
BTW he was playing for the music crowd, not for some particular drug-taking crowd. How is a hard driving techno/minimal set geared towards one drug or another? Worse yet how would it be geared to idiots stupid enough to take K @ a club? It's fucking cat tranquilizer & all that shit does is put you to sleep and in a serious hole, which is hardly conducive to enjoying a high-energy non-stop tech set like he dropped.
So drink more, and take less hardcore drugs next time. You may enjoy it more. ;) |
i dont mean melodic and vocal as in commercial house. i mean melodic in the flow of a set. it sounds like you havent heard much hawtin sets, no offense. have you heard sets when he plays tracks that have vocals like "R U OK", or "mumbling yea", or "im a man (audion mx)", "honeymoon's over (konrad black mx)", "like a child (carl craig mx)". ill stop there i could go on and on. not one track that night he played had a vocal. its not even about tracks with vocals though, just melody in the flow of a set would be nice. his set that night had none, it was like one long track with blowups.
and news flash, a lot of people snort k in the bathroom at clubs. when you (read:) -dont do too much- you feel like you're floating a little, the room becomes brighter, you can hear the tiniest little pin drop of details of sound. which is perfect for stripped down music. so yea it is conducive. /education
the set richie played is the same thing every big name dj plays regardless of genre. 90% of the time they dont really fully "bring it" for each set. they play multiple times per week, and when on tour ... almost nightly. so this is just the kind of thing that happens when you play that often. wmc is proof of that.
