If you think that that's a fine response then that's all good really. Just as you have said you have the right to express how you feel, i thought it was poor form. You seem to have a bee in your bonnet about something around here recently, not sure why, but that's how it made me feel
haha
i will concede that maybe "this is crap" is not the most constructive way of describing a mix but like i already said i listened to it and thats what came into my head. i don't think i have a bee in my bonnet about this place lately in particular, maybe stress from uni made me snap or something, i dunno. i said it was crap because i had expectations of what these 2 guys could do and what i heard was nowhere near that. its mostly a personal thing though i guess, like i said i dont get the appeal in that style of music and i dont get why they would play that when they havent before and its not what i associate them with. i still think that music is crap, its so empty, there is nothing in it, and what little is in it is so sparse and basic i dont get it! people might spend ages writing a melody, fine tuning a bass line, searching for the right sample, and then someone comes up with this stuff. that's what makes me angry, and then hearing these 2 guys start playing this stuff makes me angrier.

It pisses you off that much? hahahaha
So what if they're playing a style they didnt play before, music tastes change & evolve in time.
I haven't d/l the mix, but just seeing the tracklisting a few of those artists do have some rocking tunes, even if you dont think its rocking Mr Philby haha.
Not all minimal/tech music is crap!
And why the heck would they play it if they didnt like it?
That would be sad, as PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE A PASSION FOR THE MUSIC THEY PLAY!

lol philby thanks for your comments. no offence taken as i rarely listen to anyones comments about my djing especially on forums like these. it was specifically a minimal tech mix as a promo for the laundry room, not for ourselves. it doesnt mean thats what you going to hear from us when we play out haha. good dj's play more than one style buddy. if you dont like that mix im guessing you don't like booka shade, mandy and other stuff that gets released out of get physical or similar labels. thats fine each to their own mate. if you dont understand this music or its 15 bpm's too slow for you then sorry dude, i'd be curious to what you say about this music in 6-8 months time.
not sure where you got that 80's comment from. its not an electro atari mix and if you listened to it properly you would realise it was done on ableton so of course the mixing is perfect
looking forward to your next mix mate, thanks for the publicity too.
*by the way i dont buy JOOF tunes

i'm still struggling to see why people put together mixes on ableton, when it is really not a true reflection of how good or bad they are as DJs.
Am i the only one who prefers to hear a live dj mix over an ableton set?
