I'm sorry but I had to comment on this. This is the dumbest comment I have ever heard (sorry). If I went to see lets say Metallica, I would not bitch because they played too many of their songs and not enough of other peoples. G&D are big producers and remixers, they DJ to showcase their works. Most of these songs they played, they have produced in the last 2 years, they have made enough music for a few cd's (and there are none out). So, when I go to see G&D I expect to hear their music, and they did not disappoint. Holden does not produce 'as much' and he did play the majority of songs that he has produced recently. They are focused on producing and when I listened, I did not try and listen for minor mixing mistakes, I just had a great time at their 'concert'.
If you have ever heard a G&D set in the last 2 years, you would know that they play mostly their material. So, to see them live and criticize them for doing exactly this, is just stupid. You knew that they did this before you even went. Not trying to start a flame war, just addressing the ignorance of the comment made at the begining of the thread.
those are my .02 cents |

wrong, if i can continue. i seem to remember a large contingent of TAers wetting themselves over a DJing duo called Nu-Nrg, whom often play 99% of their own tracks, and those tracks all sound the same and never get released.
that being said i understand how GnD often come off wrong or muddled in set design. at least they are no nunrg| |

I have heard G&D sets in the past couple years. The ratio of their productions to others has certainly gone up. Now that I've sobered up a bit and the disappointment has worn off, I guess my beef was the quality of the tracks they played. It was very inconsistent and had no flow IMO.
I don't have a Holden tracklist (I'd love one) but I would guess it was less than half his productions.
Biznology, good point about Nu-NRG. The first set I heard by them was a couple years ago, that radio set that everyone had--it was indeed amazing. My love for them has worn off forever, as I have gotten into different sounds and they have become less consistent as producers. |
