Ben UFO, Maceo Plex and Shall Ocin
View this Thread in Original format

Hey guys,

I'm (probably) attending to all of these gigs in the next few days and I would like to know your opinion about them. I've listened to a 3 hour mix of Ben UFO on SoudCloud and it was average. First hour was good but after that he started to throw tracks randomly and I got bored. However, a quite eclectic mix I'd say.

What's your opinion? How about the other two?

Thanks :)

Saw Plex on the Space Terrace in Miami earlier this year and he smashed it. You won't be disappointed with him.

He was recently on RA's Exchange podcast. Cool interview.

His Essential Mix is this weekend, too. Look forward to hearing what he does with it.

Can't say much for the other two. The one set I've heard of UFO's was underwhelming.

I saw Maceo Plex at Sonar a couple of years back and he was remarkably boring. I've heard a couple of his sets online since then and he always feels like the kind of DJ who might work if you're in a dark room with monstrous bass pressure, but otherwise the gaps are very obvious.

Don't know much about the others. Ben UFO has a reputation as a proper selectah, but I can't comment on how that actually pans out.

I've never seen Ben UFO play, but I really enjoy his mixes. This one in particular:



He recently put up a bunch of stuff on his soundcloud including an EM, worth checking out I guess.

Me and everyone i've talked to that has seen Ben UFO recently has been dissapointed. I'd still see him other the other ones any day, though.

I have a feeling he will play some nice tunes but overall it will be boring.

Definitely. However Maceo Plex and Shall Ocin gigs are in the same day. Let's see how this turns out.

Id probably take a chance on Maceo Plex, he did an essential mix last week or so, check that out and it might give you an indication as to what hes playing (havent listened to it yet myself)
