1.)Disappointment:Sasha,i hate to say it but i absolutely hated Fundacion and i just haven't dug his sets as of late...i don't know if musically i have moved past his sound and gone another direction...just doesn't rock my sox anymore.
2) Even More Disappointment:Hybrid,this being the year they have played some of their worst sets and really just mailing it in...i know they are better producers than dj's but at least show some effort or act interested.They are great guys,i love talking with them and hanging out but some things i can't get past anymore
3) So much talent out there that hasn't made an impact in the states..which suprises me(phil k.,nu breed,pqm,tipper,tom middleton,plump djs)
Looking to next year

OK, here's mine..i don't do singles, so i'm not up on remixes and all that jazz.. just live sets are what i know... oh yea, and STFU about Madonna's album on my list.. that album is SICK.. whoever produced it really outdid themselves and brought genuine, quality house music back into pop ;)
The Good
------------------------------------------------------------
1)Best Dj: Tie between Cattaneo/Masiello
2)Best Live p.a.: Infusion
3)Best party attended: Tie between Cattaneo @ Eleven50 and PVD @ Eleven50 (November Set)
4)Album of the year: Madonna: Confessions on a Dance Floor---just a totally awesome album of french house influenced dance tracks and her best album ever.
5)Essential Mix- Desyn Masiello
6)DJ mix cd: Hernan Cattaneo-Renaissance Masters Vol 1&2(The KING of basslines)
7)Favorite Recorded Live set-Hernan Cattaneo Live @ Kiss100
The Bad
----------------------------------------------------------------
1)Lawler's shift to electro and away from tribal.
2)The obession with electro house.. it's a nice style, but it's way overplayed right now, imo.
3)Tiesto getting so much attention from people who honestly have no clue what quality dance music is and starting thread after thread trying to tell us that DO know, why he's sooooo good.. please stfu and open your minds to some other fuking dj.
4)2 hour DJ sets in Atlanta.. this is bull.. before long, it'll be one hour and we're supposed to get excited about this... Promoters you gotta solve this problem..if you can't afford more than two hours, don't book them and if they won't play for more than two hours, MOVE ON to someone else cause there is a LOT of good talent out there right now that did not make it to Atlanta this year... I know you gotta make money, but you gotta take chances too...we're depending on you to keep our scene alive and create memorable parties for us... IMO :)
Looking to next year
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1) My new Atlanta based, Electronica record label...details l8ter :)
2) The return of TRIBAL TRIBAL TRIBAL...and TRIBAAAALLLLLLL!!!!
3) Electro's speedy departure back into a less visible style.
4) Scott's career... :)
5) Getting my stuff remixed by somebody famous, like JXL..hint hint
6) Tiesto's retirement from all that is EDM. |

well mario, i used to respect your opinions on music, even though we share no way near the same taste. but now you have even lost the respect. your remixes of the year are pure puke.
also, i wish everyone would stop saying the word tribal. i would guess most couldn't define the genre if asked (not that i could). |

Tribal fukin rules dude.. whether it's in prog, house, or trance, nothing compares to the intensity of the drums and those slammin, low end bass lines... something primal about it... like sick nasty floor romping ch00ns.. ;) |
