| I like their productions more than their remixes. They are definitely losing the impact they first had on me with their stuff, but I still think they're doing ok. I dont like some of their more recent remixes very much though. |

Alright, I'm a big fan of G&D, both as producers and DJs... they got my #1 vote in DJ Mag, as they had a hell of a year. I do think they need to slow down with the productions a little bit though, because, as that picture inferred, I'm fearing they're becomming somewhat just formulized. I think they need to really feel what they want to do with tracks before they just put their sound on it. Nevertheless, I know there is plenty of quality production from them to come. As far as their mixing, I think it's excellent. I think, especially live, that sometimes they need to get from track to track faster and not allow for as much regression and progression. Not always though, I think it makes the sets smooth as hell... but some people consider it boring. For instance, when I saw them in Miami people couldn't handle hearing tracks nearly finish out and then have to wait for the next one to build from near scratch. Point is, they need a little more variation in the mixing style. I love all the acapella stuff they do (listen to GDJBs)... sadly I heard none if it when I saw them live. This is a hell of an element to their sets, they should expand on this. Back to my previous point, if they're gonna draw out the mixes, throw some acapella over it so those that get bored maybe won't. Anyways, hope I haven't rambled, as this is my first post...
Point is... I love what they've done so far, they've brought a new edge to music... I'm looking for them, along with Markus to cause a paradigm shift in EDM.
Peace,
Dave |

ok .. like it or not ... they have gone through the checklist and did what a very good dj has done :
-start their dj career strong
-strong remixes from non-popular songs
-talked about everywhere
-booked at all the popular clubs
-has created their own popular craze
-strong remixes from popular songs, and made them better
-has done essential mixes
-has done their own production works
it is hard for duo djs to make a name for themselves. it takes a lot of effort, and i commend them for their job.
now, what would you say when they make their own self-titled album ?? |

| how would u rank them with probably the best current duo djs in the world right now (DEEP DISH) when they first entered the scene ... were their mixes as much quality as G&D's ?? or Gouryella's? or Jam & Spoon's ? Oakenfold and ?? Kamaya Painters ? Svenson and Gielen ?? |

g&d have definitely shown that they have the talent to produce quality tracks. are they overhyped? yes. i think because dave is on board, there is too much discussion of g&d, leading to too many people praising them all the time, which then leads to threads like this that want to bash them, to try and cancel out the overhyping.
personally, i think these guys have the capacity to produce excellent music... we'll see where they take us. i think they were good because they made good music differently. i think the 'different' aspect must remain in order for them to stay as interesting. the real question is to stick around and see how they innovate music and sound.
dave, you have a good attitude... no hate from me. keep up the good work. |

if you were older than 10 youd probably understand that i meant in general, not g&d specific. but i guess thats how it is when you cant even buy a beer at the local pub. |

Oh please, if all these people hate G&D then why would they want the attention of an artist they don't like :rolleyes: |

| They're pretty good IMHO. But they're also a hype. Now everybody loves them. At least a lot of people do... |

| Can't we just like who we like and shut the up about it? I'm so sick of these bashing threads.... |

| Because there's a difference between liking someone because of what they do and liking someone because you are affraid of not looking 'cool' |
