just got back from the ae gig and the biggest impression i got is that rob hall is the most boring dj in the universe..i saw him before and it was just as boring..everytime he started to play the floor would empty. autechre were so so..first part was extremly boring but i loved the second, dark long repetitive patterns part.ahh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
were you at Link? Autechre were great as usual,even if the played only recent things i think,but they deserved.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tss tsss ;-) i thought he was boring when i heard him recorded, then i catched a bit of his set live and it was really exellent, his sets are really weird but he's so good at mixing anything he wants and making it alive well i guess it's just not your taste :P |
||||||||

I've got some recorded rob hall mix cd's that kick arse though...... maybe he just doesn't have the magic live? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Well he impressed me at the Manchester gig.. |
||||||||
|
|

rob hall was dynamite at the glasgow autechre gig |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He was ok at the london one. |
||||||||
|
|

I 100% agree with Skink. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i ran away after autechre, to not pollute my ears. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it wasn't his selection - i mean he played drexciya which i love but the way he plays stuff..no diversity at all, without any imagination, just tunes that are easy to beat match and it just turns out boooring. i wasn't the only one thinking that..what's even worse is that when i saw him the previous time he played quite a few of the same songs..i hope someone gives him a few new records for the next time i might see him somewhere. |

just read your mini-review there, thought it was boring. i liked the second part though, didn't get as monotonous and boring, then i wised up and realised it was just as shite as the first part wont be going again |

what are you talking about tolstoyed? you're a stupid twat..of course you're free to have your own opinions, but rob hall can dj just fine...in fack the boomkat mix is quite good and well put together and recorded live....i don't really get what the fuck you're talking about with no diversity though...i mean it is a dj set to dance to...so what the fuck? if you want wanky ass country mixed with autechre and the spice girls get yourself a copy of traktor and put your cds in it. jackass. |

feels like it just got a whole lot more american in here. somebody open a window. |

fucking faceless sub 100 pointers |
||||||||

|
|||||||||

I completely agree with you tolstoyed.; personnally I never understood the succes of Robs dj sets.. like you said easy to mix electro classics all the time.. really nothing special.. for a skam dj I expect something else then electro classix sorry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha...oh man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OUCH! i know everybody is entitled to his tastes... but c'mon, no diversity, no imagination, mixing easy to match songs???? have you really heard his sets, i totaly agree that one can find it average/boring linked to the songs played, but saying he got no skills is not fair imo :p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't say anything about mans skills..he could be the most skilled dj ever, it's just that he doesn't show it..apperantly i wasn't the only one thinking that since the floor emptied (and im not exaggerating) every time he started to play - i even felt sorry for him a bit, but i could understand easily why no one would dance or even listen to that..instead almost everyone went out where some local dj's played raggae and dub and other chill out music which was indeed much more interesting :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no problem with that! :) you were implying that he mixed easy to mix stuff with no imagination, i reacted partly to that and to mashnote's post... he's strongly about mixing atmosphere together imo, one things i think he is really good at and emptying a room can be a sign of a good dj to me :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, ok. could be he played a totally different set when you saw him though :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry to hear that tolstoyed..better fun next time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i had fun..im not sorry i went at all :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok..your review of the night is a bit negative..good to hear you had fun anyways! will you go to the next ae gig? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when they come around next time i'll certanly go. i thought i was only negative as far as rob hall is concerned :) i also think i was expecting way too much - i've read some comments of the ppl that saw them on this tour and they were saying it was the best gig they've been to and so they raised my expectations quite considerably. im not their big fan although i appreciate them much more lately, but this was still less than i expected to hear :) |
||||||||

|
|
It was dark, the beatz were mad and the beer was expensive, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think i could agree with the first two :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like how you keep us Autechre fanboys in check ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like your avatar-thought only i had stuff like that in the depts of the record box |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks mate, I'm on a Specials vibe at the moment. It's a shame what happened to your fanny-avatar... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers man,specials,fun boy three-ah man gonna dig thee old tunes out:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you call a man who stole a corridor? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good1 :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll see them in june I'll remember your post..not expecting many off them now...but i still hope the gig will rise my expectations.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no rhubears ? no midgets ? (old aphex twin shows) ive only seen plaid w/mira calix, and no []pusher (he was sick), but the show was very fun none the less |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does anybody know if rob hall will be at the autechre show in chicago next friday, on may 13? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should go even if he'll play there..perhaps that's autechre's little tactical plan - first rob bores everyone to death so anything would sound good after that :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha i want him to be there. i'd be interested to see him, especially if he's ad vanz. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know, you listen to exactly the same kind of music he usually plays, so if he won't be there just play some of your records before the gig and you'll have the same effect.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, i dont know if i should take that as an insult or what ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, he plays lots of early electro which is good, but i would expect for someone like him to do a much much more eclectic sets..or at least to change a tempo here and there :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was thinking about the 8 hour drive, to see have fun |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really??? Rob hall was that boring?.... oh! dear... Maybe he made a special different set in Athens then or something. Well... damn that it was so disapointing. I hope that the next gig you'll attend will be a revelation. :) come on msn, i'd like to send ya me latest track :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
next gig i'll attend will probably be less good music wise but more party oriented :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds fantastic.... i hope you'll have a great time. |
