He played a dj set at Real Groovy (our favorite local record store). It was energetic and highly charged techno using 3 turntables....awesome..he was constantly busy improvising while still keeping it hard and funky without missing a beat |

Whatever people may say about Mr Cox's style of techno (that it is pretty bland and only really listenable in a club enironment), he is to be praised for making three deck DJing more popular. True, it was done before he was famous (Grandmaster flash used 3 decks by chaining mixers back in the late 70s! as an aside- he was also an electronics whizz and modded his gear, not unlike a certain Mr. James...), but he really popularised the technique for use in clubs/raves back before samplers were commonplace. I think this is often overlooked by my generation (now we've got samplers few people bother with more than two decks or 2cd/2vinyl combination), but at the time it really raised the bar with how creative a dj could be. |

I want to investigate some more UMEK..his work on Laibach WAT is mighty impressive... But COX was definetly a revelation..we were pleasantly surprised as he is more associated with house....no house in this set.....beyond the three decks..the sound was so crisp and crunchy it punched you right in the chest.... |

i heard he can do decent sets :) as for umek...perhaps try neuro, its alright, but he just wants to make it too perfect...and i kind of dont like that, too organised (heh it doesnt make much sense) or something :) |

hm..I have seen Neuro kicking around... but the being too perfect bit..hmm...if you know me I like things sounding less than perfect too:) |

heh, you better give it a listen first...it reminds me of orbital a lot and he must have listened to drukqs...but the way album is done it reminds me a ot of chris clark-not that music is anything alike (i like neuro much more)-both umek and clark seem to be excellent in technique and skill but they lack ideas imo. if you like wat, you might like neuro as well...try and get it on soulseek i should upload it at elusives actually, surely some ppl will like it - i'll do it tomorrow |
