Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

Didn't grab me - I feel this 'bouncy' plodding, techy house sound is getting very tired.. love Maceo Plex as a producer, but his [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=752"]Maetrik[/url] guise (and Mix for [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=88"]Adam Beyer[/url]) destroyed this, still different Monkier, different sound. Overall some good tracks on this mix but felt very samey to me..

He actually went quite a ways back in selecting some of these tracks and didn't hold fast to a single genre as you seem to be insinuating.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

I certainly have to give it another try, many mixes take a few listens to appreciate the brilliance - it didn't grab me that's all. And of course you're right about music in general - i think it may be familiarity. Just not really feeling that 'tech-disco' sound like i did when I first heard it from labels like Visionquest, hot creations etc.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

Fair enuff. ;) You gotta' be careful not to get stuck in a rut or you can burn out.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

Thx for this, the producer of the moment, wonder what his mixing will be like. 'Under the sheets' is one of my fav tracks from last few months :D

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

a dreary and tiresome bunch of accidental tracks.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

Dreary and potentially tiresome? Whatever you do, don't peer into the rabbithole that represents his [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=752"]Maetrik[/URL] guise. ;)

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

I loved this mix. thought he crossed many different genres without staying in one place too long, not to mention some right blissfully intertwined moments. case in point --

been years since I last heard this.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

i think its a great mix and i welcome these newwave/upliftingsexytech house overlords.

[QUOTE=foreks;1023922]a ... bunch of accidental tracks.[/QUOTE]

House Music.

[QUOTE=sbando;1024304]House Music.[/QUOTE]

They are not accidental.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

There are genres (house, techno) that don't stick to the "perfect flow" - "mix as journey" rules, these artists aim for different effects and reactions, they keep it up, then droooop, then something different. It's is a bit of a fad ("New Chicago" and whatnot) but that's the way things used to work.

Playing today's 4-4 music without any flow is like coitus interruptus. You can be unpleasantly surprised.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

I know this is sacrilege here, but I'm glad not every mix tries to churn out a chinstroking [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/URL]-like journey.

Today's music is less imaginative in many ways, especially with all those elongated intros and outros made for wankathon journey mixes. ;)

On the topic of this mix, the music spans at least 15 years, maybe more.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

lol i agree with Mades AND Sbando / Vinnie... whatever idea you want do with a mix, music has to be good as a whole.. [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url]'s "journeys" or this Maceo mix are different but equally good imho.. none of them are easy to do and be worldwide appreciated..

Maceo is an undeniable talent as a producer and has a long way to go to become a big name as a dj.. maybe will reach that tittle in the future, who knows..

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

:-) I don't have any misconceptions about his "bigness" as a DJ. I did know [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=752"]Maetrik[/url] as a lad in Dallas who spun what he loved and to hell with the consequences. Dallas did not show him the respect he deserved...of course, he wasn't making bouncy Maceo-styled tech house back then either. ;-)

[QUOTE]On the topic of this mix, the music spans at least 15 years, maybe more.[/QUOTE] [COLOR=#CCCCCC] [/COLOR] That was the problem, maybe. Same happened to Maya J., too many things to fit into the playlist and the will to do something special (I think Maya even says so in her intro).

BUT: [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=120"]Seth Troxler[/URL].... The comments I read! Chaotic, can't mix, random, shit, random druggy shit. Look this up: "[URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=302"]Ron Hardy[/URL]". The DJ sure is "a white balding guy in a t-shirt", I'm fine with that. But that's not the only or true way.

I know you'll never do it, but try and listen to [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=225"]Theo Parrish[/URL]'s lecture at Red Bull Academy 2005, best clip about dance music I've ever watched.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

Maybe so, but the Jon Dasilva track, for instance, sounds very much like it did in '94, just with some 4-to-the-floor bouncy bassline action. Timeless music doesn't need to be ostracized (though some of the older pics were far more obscure). Basically, the Emix has become an artist showcasing as much as it is/was a DJ mix (just see Babicz).

[quote]I know you'll never do it[/quote] Wha? :[

That is a long clip. I don't have 3 hours this weekend but I just checked the first 10 mins and it sounds comprehensive starting with Theo's own roots.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

Love this track, such a oldskool feeling :D

Totally agree.

Maceo is a great producer but, to be a great dj, takes time and a consistent career.

Re: Maceo Plex - Essential Mix (BBC Radio1) - 18-02-2012

When you consider his [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=752"]Maetrik[/URL] guise and the DJ work he's done under that alias, he definitely qualifies as a great DJ as far as I'm concerned. That's how he started back in the early 90s ffs. ;)

Indeed. And here's my reciprocated upload of the inspiring track as it sounded in 1994:
