Anyone hating on anybody they haven't seen live has zero credibility. Dixon is next level. |

Meh. Not everybody likes that sound man. Never seen him live but I've heard more than one of his live sets on quite a big home system and it doesn't do it for me. To me his music lacks excitement and fun. There's so many other DJs that play sounds I do like that there's no reason to waste time and money going to shows I know I'm not going to like as much. |

Fwiw, my home system sounds better than most club systems. And if I don't care for the music why would it all of a sudden be amazing just because he's there live mixing it? Don't dig the innervisions sound, its not for me. I find it strange that so many ppl hop onto whatever the hot sound/label is so frequently.
I let my ears judge the music. I'm not in this to see every last dj just cuz RA or social media annoints them. |

| I was all-in on Drumcode and CLR for yrs, but until I started going to see DJs like Tale of Us, Damian Lazarus, Dixon, Mano, Gerber... I didn't realize how much more I enjoyed the ride of a set that builds and is like a roller coaster that eventually will get to a Drumcode-esque portion. Mano and Tale of Us routinely play Drumcode tracks in their sets, but they set it up and don't just drill you with 128 BPMs for 8 hours. I enjoy the longer parties, and for those I can't handle banging the entire way through |

| That 118-120 I got to hear on the frank and tony yacht went way harder than the 125-128 stuff they play in clubs. A wise man (huge wirldwide dj) once told me that once u gst under 120 bpm gets funky and its more danceable than the a bit more up tempo stuff and damn was he right |

I dig Tale of Us, Adriatique, Lazarus can be decent. Don't like Dixon's sound at all.
You guys make it sound like all I listen to is DC. They are my favorite yes, but I like a lot of . For instance, Francois K is one of my favorites because he can incorporate so many different sounds but his overriding theme is a good pace with percussion...for me, I almost have to have a good amount of percussive elements.
But yeah, generally I like the faster BPM. I saw Popof at Trade last week (in the small room, at first I thought all Trade is is Treehouse v 2.0 until I went back for the real deal on Friday night, ha) and that was a set I really enjoyed. He did play the slower 120-124 BPM or so but it was techy and hard and minimalish with some funk. Was very good.
And let's be honest though, nothing is better than 127-129 BPM tech-house and techno (like DC) in a car system with the windows down :toothless |
