good thread.
Another "music discussion" classic. |
You do have a point there, we could all move to a "most under-rated track" or "best track of the year" thread, that'd be more productive. :) |

| Might be a tad obvious, but "Heater" anyone? Can't believe the amount of hype around it, it is such a dog-bad track, it really does make me sick... |

How can it be overhyped when nobody seems to like it? |

Ribcage is a great track when used right, as a DJ Tool.
And I dunno what e weed you're smokin Ted, that Chaim remix is the bomb! Funky, chuggin and fast paced, works great to pick up the dancefloor when used right...it's one of my fav tracks to play out right now.
Saw Digweed and Lee play it out, when Lee dropped it everyone went nuts!
Also, I like hunted alot :p, sounds great on a big system! |
I can't think of three tracks that fit the description of "overrated" more than these.
I was shocked "Hunted" was release by Cocoon, that Chaim mix does absolutely nothing interesting, no matter who's playing (It was part of the most boring Sasha set I have ever heard), and how in s name you of all people can defend "Ribcage", even as a DJ tool, shocks me to my core.
:wtf:
And my overall vote definitely goes to "Ribcage", but could just as well be given to 90% of what Dubfire has ever produced. |

Also, I'm getting really ing tired of this whole "It works great as a DJ tool" nonsense. It seems like everything these days that's made by a producer we somehow feel compelled to pay lipservice to "Works as a Tool" even though it's utterly ing worthless.
If I had a nickel for every time that phrase has been uttered on TA (or in general this past year) I'd be a billionaire.
Sometimes I really miss the days of just hammering GOOD music and not having to worry about how in s name I'm going to mash three tracks together to make them sound like one halfway decent one.
/rant
Edit: And add Ambivalent - R U Ok? to my list of overhyped records that are absolute yet somehow everyone and their brother seems to believe is "brilliant."

Actually a ridiculous amount of people do like it, not just where I'm from, but on the forum as well. It makes no sense to me, it is just ball-achingly bad... |

I dunno, I just enoy ribcage, its simple and works for me.
HUGE +1 on Kanzyani mix of Outhouse. I cant stand that track, I dunno why anyone plays it, and the original is just so much better that it boggles my mind. |

lol, just saw this post. First off, if you think I play ribcage just because dubfire made it, you're wrong, and secondly I use alot of unknown tracks as DJ tools along with it, and I've been doing that for a while, both on ableton and CDJs. I didn't know it was frowned upon to play with 3 decks every now and then. If I thought a track was "utterly ing worthless" I wouldnt use it as a tool either, obviously I see it as something interesting to use or alter within a mix. I understand your PoV but the insinuations are a little harsh :p |

"Gel Abril - Very Wrong (Chaim remix)"
i didnt know that was the name of that song. i always called it the homo flute song because of that stupid flute part.
"Martin Buttrich - hunted"
why is that track hyped? ive never heard anyone play it. i think there may have been a typo in the charts because its the other side of that record "HUNTER" that is great. "hunted" is such a terrible cliche track. theres a million tracks that have a girl talking in a monotone voice. it gives the track this feel of a snooty pretentious fashion show type thing.
"not exactly" and "faxing berlin" are super duper awesome. how can anyone not like them?
the only thing i agree so far on is pryda. pryda anything is generic and plain sounding. not very creative. |

+1 for deadmau5...
..and Martin Buttrich rocks regardless of the air time, we should make a thread for underrated songs instead a got a load.... |
