It's a shame to see the musical 'road' he's taken. Considered him one of my favorites only a little over a year ago. Now, I don't really care for his sound at all.
Technically though, there are few that can match him. |
This. I used to be in love with the guy's stuff back in 06/07, now it's as if he lost his integrity or his taste in music just went to the garbage.
If you want to check out win from him, check out the set he did for Diabolika, an Italian radio station. |

He's suffering a case of 'Sander Kleinenberg' although not as bad. |

Maybe you guys stayed in the same path and JZ evolved into a different sound.
It's so hard to judge music, I mean, it's like judging art. You can give all the reasons you want, but at the end of the day it's my opinion vs your opinion and they both matter so unless JZ stops headlining events and demand goes down, logically, he is still the same JZ just with different fans, I guess.
If you ask me the whole scene has changed since 06/07, I mean it has to, DJs like JZ (leaders, pioneers) carry on the scene, if they chose a path that will bring them down they have to realize it otherwise their entire business model will fail, however, if you continuously see him playing the same kind of music and he still sells out tours then maybe he's doing it right and you guys are still living in the past.
Similarly, you have Guns N Roses, they have an almost identical line up than they did in the 80s-90s and yet they didn't hit it that hard with Chinese Democracy. It's all relative guys, time changes, people change. We can have a love affair with JZ in 2006/2007 and then hate him in 2008. Music is still appealing to other people though, that is the only factor in the equation that will never change. |

Bull! I didn't even need to read the rest of the post. You're wrong. Why? Because:
(Then)Techno/House/FunkyBreaksalaSoulofMen > (now)KidCudi/Anjuna"Prog"
Sure it can be a matter of taste, but no way in hell is it a step a up or an evolution of sound. Don't even come in here with that garbage, sunshine. If he was playing IDM or ambient/downtempo/glitch techno then maybe I would consider taking your opinion into account. But playing Kid Cudi?? LK SRSLY??

| Wotyzoid, is your day job being a crash dummy for car companies? That's the impression I get from watching you argue. |

That's such a nice thing to say. I wasn't being completely serious. |

| Yeah, all you said is pretty nice and actually sounds coherent but the case is that James Zabiela is not exploring new sounds and moving forward. He simply became lazy at selecting his music. |

I read this post and thought for a second that I'd been transported back in time. "Very promising"? The ing thing came out two years ago! Even back then Holden was an established name. |
