swazi doesnāt sound as groundbreaking on itās own as it did in Joeās mixes, I will say. i guess that makes it a great record for mixing with though? i wish i could find a youtube clip of it in a mixā¦ maybe iāll just upload the clip i have in my itunes to show you what i mean.
drumma is a solid b-side imo. not gonna go down in history but will be a nice tune to come back to every once in a while.
was still instacop for myself.
edit - ok hereās a clip (which anyone could download straight from his July 2014 mix i should add):
Probably gonna be the only one who says it idk I find the Malleus - Mutations track a bit shitā¦I bet if I made it, people would say it is shit just like if I made Gantz - Spry Sinister, people would say it is shit.
I quite like Swazi Rhythm, Mesck - Dead Language, Subtle Mind - Te Vas and the Jack Sparrow Spry Sinister remix
centipede i guarantee you if you made that track, and sent it out to the right people you might not get overnight hype like an established artist but it would absolutely not go unnoticed. from a production standpoint itās simple, sure, but from a composition standpoint that song is absolutely rugged. it has a very distinct energy and thatās not from the samples not being quantized.
getting back on topic here i felt like this release was just something joe promised himself heād do first and foremost based on personal/dancefloor love for these tunes. doesnāt even remotely come close to rivet/melon for me, those tunes told a story.
high hopes for this label. already wondering what next release will be.
There are a lot of people who like a tune just because it pertains to certain artistā¦i.e. Mala for example. Now Iām not saying everyone does, but there are a number of people who do.
A customer dislikes the lamb shank in a restaurant because itās a bit bland or something and signals to the waiter and along comes the waiter, to which the customer complains and states if he made a lamb shank like that, his small little restaurant would probably go bankrupt, obviously we know this customer doesnāt actually have or work in a restaurant,ā¦the waiter angrily says āare you a chef?! are you?! no?! well then shut the fuck up and eat it like you could do any better, donāt criticise what you canāt make!ā
A second scenario, a customer loves the beef wellington and wants to tell the waiter how great it is, the customer states how much he loved it and how he could never make one that good, to which the waiter responds with, āyou have a great taste in food and you obviously know great food when you see it.ā
What have we learned today? Your opinion is only valid if either 1. Someone else agrees with your tastes 2. If it is a contradiction to your beliefs, their opinion is invalid 3. If it is a negative critique, if you canāt make it yourself, you have no right to criticise.
