Re: Richie Hawtin: Transitions
as we can see on this thread, 2 different people have 2 different experiences. who's to say TheRev's opinion is the right one? Who's to say the other poster who had a great time dancing is right? Many factors go into a persons enjoyment of a night in a club. Richie Hawtin isn't necessarily my favorite DJ but he's redefining what it means to be a DJ and TheRev's comments seemed to not understand how he's mixing, what he's mixing and why he's doing it the way he's doing it. It sounds like TheRev wanted Jeff Mills or Derrick Carter to be gurning behind the decks and playing booty house or banging techno. I'm interested in the general divide between digital dj's and old school jocks. Is Hawtin's approach the best? What happens next? Sasha's on board, so is his mini-me, James Zabiella. Underworld are using Live. Has it hurt their performances? It's a matter of interface and ability. and weed. ha! discuss.
