Second, regarding his mixing; It was pitiful. He showed absolutely no understanding of phrasing, his mixes ran about :10-:30 seconds, and in the 40 minutes I was there he threw at least 2 mixes that were so off key it was like nails on a chalkboard. The following midwest TA's could consistently mix better and have a better idea of phrasing, key, and developing their own sound than Erik K:
Seneca
Daniel K - Amateur
Wolverine16 - Amateur
Crrrazydan - Amateur
Lucas Smith - Amateur
TylerC
Topher Jones - Amateur
Benjamin B - Amateur
Mili
Aristronica - Amateur
etc.
Point is, Erik K displayed absolutely no desire to innovate during his set, and honestly, didn't appear to have the ability to if he wanted to. If his set at Vision on Saturday night is any indication of how he works he brings absolutely nothing new to the table, and he's certainly not at the forefront of the Trance scene (Old Trance is nice, but god damn, I swear to god I heard the same set he spun last night 2-3 years ago). I would never spend money to see/hear his music, and honestly, I can't believe he got booked to open for Ferry.
I highly doubt this is the best Chicago has to offer for local trance, and if it truly is, that's one of the saddest things I've ever heard. |
thanks for the compliment rob :toocool: :toocool: :toocool: :toocool: |

erik k cannot possibly be one of chicago's "finest" trance djs. i was on the second floor all night, right next to the booth, and just his attitude got to me during his set. during one of the songs, he had both of his arms above his head and was pointing at himself. the mixing was not that great. oh, and when you use effects, try to make sure that you don't use the flanger effect three times in a row from 11:30 to 12. once, ok. twice, pushing it. three times...just pitiful.
i was not impressed. it was like a little tiesto running around up there..."i have the biggest ego, i'm not that great of a dj, and i can shamelessly promote myself to death" erik - we paid to see FERRY, not you.
i barely even saw him in the booth while ferry was on too. i only saw him in there twice - once right after his set to ask if he could get some of ferry's alcohol, and the second to bring some chick into the booth.
thank god that ferry saved the night. |

whoa! you guys cut no slack!!!
d&g girl txt'ed me telling me to come out, but i was sleeping by 10 pm! i was exhausted from my trip to DC and NYC - and had been up all of Friday night for Sander and Lawler. Glad the TA meet-up was a success and that most of you finally got to meet each other - i'm still incognito to most of you :) |
