milkybarkid Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Anyone heard him recently? He's playing locally on Friday night, but I haven't heard much about him in a while, so I dont know what to expect. If he's still playing Lizard and all that malarkey, I dont think I'll bother though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonman Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 he plays techno and tech house now...quite minimal...think along the lines of his old Mixmag "Rush Hour" cd, or check his essential mix from 2 years ago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's still playing Lizard and all that malarkey, I dont think I'll bother though. Certainly isn't playing Lizard style tunes. Went from there to full on techno and out the other end as a minimaly techy funky sort of sound. That old Mixmag CD in my vew is mailes apart from what he plays these day.

milkybarkid Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yeah I heard him about two years ago, and it was pretty full on techno. Seemed to play for himself though, not guaging any crowd reaction, head down all the time. A lot of people were disappointed. Maybe the more minimal stuff will be better. Cheers.

Judge Mental Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Saw him at Meganite Ibiza last year, was pleasently surprised, quite similar to Marco Carola. Worth checking out if he's playing locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 He used to be superb back in the days when he was playing all the BXR type Tech-Trance/Techno. These days though, he's very calm and minimal - and dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days though, he's very calm and minimal - and dull. I agree there, I used to love all his BXR stuff in 2001/02 with his label mates Joy Kitikonti, Ricky Effe, etc. It was a genre in itself back then! I feel like digging out all my BXR vinyl now! :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like digging out all my BXR vinyl now! :mrgreen: That was proper Tech-Trance - Trancey breakdowns with proper, raw, Techno basslines. Most Tech-Trance these days doesn't have any resemblance to Techno at all. The style has changed so much, but retained the same sub-genre tag.

milkybarkid Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yeah I'm definately gonna give it a go, cheers guys. Not really much into minimal, but if its good, and the atmosphere's right, I'll enjoy it no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubberdude1981 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 He's playing minimal and tech house now. He moved from playing trance about 2001-2002 to techno until about 2005-2006, and now plays more mellow stuff. In my opinion, he was at his best between 2002 ans 2004/2005. Played a fair share of "interesting" techno records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milkybarkid Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Did you come back and tell us how it went? I was just about to! I swear* It was actually a great night. His support dj never showed, so he played the whole night. Nearly all classics too, though of the more techno variety, not once playing Lizard, Iguana or any of those hits of his. He seemed a very nice bloke too. Everyone was expecting him to finish early once word got out the support dj hadn't showed, but he just kept on playing. Top, top night. *I'm a liar, I'd completely forgotten about this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawman Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I was wondering about this the otherday, started getting nostalgic about allmy old records and was thinking what these folks are all playing these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
