| breaks for an entire night isn't my thing, but when I saw zabiela at the beginning of december, I can honestly say he's one of the most skilled DJs out there. I can only imagine him and Phil K back 2 back. |

Well, I have to be in awe of the skills from JZ & PK. :eek:
That said, it wasn't really my kind of night. I felt that it got to the stage, about an hour in to their set, where the scratching and effects became the focus of the night at the expense of the dancefloor vibe. I'm generally a 4/4 kind of guy, and I just couldn't feel any sort of continuous groove happening.
Jono Fernandez played a crowd-pleasing warmup set, and Gough & Chable were, for mine, the pick of the night. Room was comfortably full, thank goodness, and nowhere near as hot as the previous night at CL.
Cheers to marsh, SteveStrangis and vitamin v (nice to meet you, if only so briefly!) who made the trip to Room.
Verdict: nice to say I was there. |

Honestly- a tad dissapointed, but glad I've seen him none the less.
The sytle they were playing, prog and prog-breaks, well I'm open minded with it and can enjoy a night of it if the set is put together well and the groove is kept, but they just had these massive flatspots of self indulgent noise in between tracks and sometimes just over the tracks and I hear my self asking "I am I supposed to be impressed..?" Rather than building tension on the dancefloor as fx and builds and such like do, the noises were harsh and stagnant (not building) and there was rarely an actual release!! (but I admit there were actually a few really good ones). Having said that, there was some stuff that really impressed me such as the platter work on the 1000's coupled with fx- when used in a musical way to enhance the music not to divert from it.
So call me a purist (you'd be way off) but I like groove and continuity in a set, and can do well without loosing the thread and wandering off the dance floor (I wasn't alone).
What I think? - James Z and Phil on K should (IMO) get back down to earth and sure up their playing style, concentrate on the music a tiny bit more and use slightly less over the top fx wizardry/wankery, as it would be more accessable to people who like music instead of people who like pink noise and modulating LFO's for about 80 painful seconds. But the key here, as mentioned, is making it enhance the music, not divert from it.
I could be wrong (but it hasn't happened yet):rolleyes:. |
