Re: what do u think about hernan cattaneo?

[QUOTE=s73vend0yle;895802]He is quite simple one of the greatest djs on the planet at the moment, A superb sound that builds and builds . Technically perfect too. I have seen him 6 times and everytime he looks as if he is serving a dinner , dishing the courses up one after another. Why else would Renaissance keep asking him to their Masters Series Mixes?[/QUOTE] A very worthy first post. :D Agree with every word !! :D

It looks as though Hernan is getting ready to leap in there , or maybe he is saying" Oh, is that how you do it ??" ":lol:

Re: what do u think about hernan cattaneo?

I don't know why but he has never done it for me as a DJ. I've rarely loved his live sets and his CDs have been up & down. Whenever I've seen him he has been great, but I can't really say why I've preferred other DJ's more. Saying that his live set from last year was outstanding. Its like Sasha said about the Hacienda, he could never understand why he had more appeal than the other Hac DJ's

[QUOTE=DIDI;896178]^^^ Sometimes we just have different tastes :) [/QUOTE]

Yeah I totally agree. I would never say he was rubbish, just his music doesn't work for me. There was a great interview with Sven Vath when he talked about playing back to back with Hawtin, He mentions that playing togther just didn't work for him because he couldn't get where he wanted to be, which is what I see with all the progresive DJ's, They are all good mixers, set builders, play great tracks and know how set the vibe. Its just that extra 1% or x factor that you can't explain.

#1419622Post 57 of 68

Re: what do u think about hernan cattaneo?

and thats exactly why hernan is awesome, its for that unexplainable xfactor he got in him, he just makes it happen for me.

i used to feel the same way with howells, maybe u should start a thread like the one i started with him and give the man a chance (unless u already listened to all his sets and made up ur decision)

No I've listened to loads of sets by both DJ's but both have never done its for me(Howells had done some amazing CDs) but the way you feel about Howells or Hernan I have with Jimmy Van M. Jimmy for me has been my favourite since 2001 but hasn't even made the Top 250 DJ's since then. Its just different strokes for different folks

Re: what do u think about hernan cattaneo?

[QUOTE=floridaorange;896193]^How many times have you heard Hernan live Chunk?[/QUOTE]

Quite a few over the years. The first was warming up for Oakenfold back in 1999 + Creamfields 2000 where he closed the main arena. The last was at The Cross about 3 years ago. Look I'm not slagging the bloke at all. I was just entering into the conversion that other DJ's have done it more for me. I posted last year that his August 2009 set was the best I heard all year. I wasn't trying to upset anyone or shoot him down.

Re: what do u think about hernan cattaneo?

i see ur point, i feel the same way about matthew dekay, he's my fav dj and many people dont feel the same way abt him at all. but thats hernan man, just turn his MS birthday mix up(or his kiss recent mix), do a fat line, lite up ur cig and just kick back and listen...;)

Re: what do u think about hernan cattaneo?

Must agree with Chunky here.. There are a lot of very good djs who doesnt work for me either and i cant clearly explain why.. Fortier, Pappa and even Diggers (everytime i saw him live was AMAZING tho) are examples of it..

Funny thing Digweed has never been one of my favourite DJ's and Sasha not in the last 10 years

[COLOR=red]Edit[/COLOR] Fuck me my cocaine must be really good[/QUOTE] Totally realise that. :) It's actually good having a reasonable conversation. :) I just think it is great that you have a really good Dj that you do feel that way about. :D

I'm afraid John Digweed has never been the way he is described here when I have seen him. :(

On Hernan, he changes a lot from year to year, and for me in the best possible ways :D But he is still best when he plays his long sets where he gets a chance to connect with both the music and the crowd. :D He needs us as well :lol:

You all know how I feel about Hernan, but I actually love and respect that we have different opinions. :D

Why does every thread here have to turn into a Digweed thread?? :lol: Silly question I suppose :lol: Have fun :D

Re: what do u think about hernan cattaneo?

[QUOTE=DIDI;529629]I wasn't going to answer this because everyone probably knows what I think:) But just couldn't resist the chance to talk about him.

Obviously I think he is amazing, as someone said in another thread he has made his own sound. Someone here wrote in a review that he has the ability to connect on a personal level with his fans and I think that is because he genuinely cares about his fans. If he does what he thinks is a average set, the worst they are is good, not great!! :lol: ,he will try and make it up. Looking at his site this week there was a gig cancelled in Rotterdam , next time I looked he was doing a charity [dance4life] gig in Rotterdam!! Obviously I don't know the details but it looks as though he has gone out of his way to look after his fans . His music evolves all the time and just seems to get better and better . The 9/8/2007 mix is mindblowing. He plays current music and styles but mixes it until he owns it!!

I have been lucky enough to see him 5 times and three of those gigs were the three top gigs ever for me. In particular the last one was just so perfect that I worry no one will ever do better:lol: Even though he played an extra hour it was totally seamless aural bliss. He does seem to play best when he can play longer and he also seems very crowd reactive, if the crowd is with him he just pulls out all stops!!

He is so generous to us, the weekly mixes are alway new, and he seems to love sharing his music. Unlike another Dj we know whose initials are Danny Tenaglia!!! [Sorry,couldn't resist that either :lol:]

As I have said before I totally respect his work ethic, he doesn't just churn it out, it's all quality! I have also discovered so many other great djs through his radio shows! I went to Deadmau5 here last week because I heard Jaded and Faxing Berlin on that 9/8 show, I've even discovered Australia guys through these shows!! He supports his industry.!!

I was also lucky enough to meet him on his last couple of gigs here and he is probably one of the nicest people I have ever met, genuinely interested in what we his fans think. Everyone I know who spoke with him or had dealings with him from the promoters down think he is pretty special.:D

I'm with the Argentinians [or Argentines] He's a God!! :lol: Actually my dearest wish would be to see him in B.A. with his own Argentinian crowd!!:D

Well. that should keep me under control for a little while.:)

btw we should appreciate what we get from him now because i'm sure there will come a time when, for whatever reason, he won't be able to give as much as he does now. Nobody could maintain what he does forever!!![/QUOTE] Just rereading and everything still applies, except the radio show isn't here anymore :( But I did get finally to see him in Argentina. :hooray: :D I really have wanted to do that for years :lol:

Oh, and I have seen him a lot more than 5 times now :lol: Although that 2007 set is still very, very special to me :D

Re: what do u think about hernan cattaneo?

^^lol Thanks :) Btw it's true that everything still applies for Hernan ....I got to meet him once and he is really a nice guy.

I wish it was Hernan DI...but hey you can't go wrong with Diggers either !!!
