here--i'll offer constructive criticism. on the meindl mixes, the bass kick is too loose and the overall mix lacks definition. however, i just played "worms" in my partner's studio and it sounds better on a big system in a good room. but a proper master should sound great even when it's qu...

oy. was reluctant to name names. agreed re. cadenza. alphahouse and esperanza are inconsistent. italo business mixes are always too hot. also, i can't remember the label, but a few individual tracks that come to mind: recent cinelli rmx of franklin de costa. pronsato rmx of se & miskate also a l...

controllers for dj-ing: xsession pro. it just came out--it's like a dj mixer and it only costs, like, $99 US. i got one for christmas. my way in was through djingj--which i resisted for a very long time. partly because the controllers sucked, partly because i thought it didn't sound as good as vinyl...

digital mastering/room accuracy

this is part complaint, part question which pertains only to digital releases. i've been getting a lot of great tracks from beatport and kompakt that are poorly mastered. to the point where they're almost unusable unless i re-master them myself--which is hard, because my studio isn't accurate at all...

one tactic i haven't tried yet--offer your favorite producers large quantities of chocolate, sexual favors, or even to clean their toilet for the rest of their life--and maybe they'll hook you up with a promo. maybe! interesting suggestion ;) Since I run a label I would like to see something like t...

it's true actually--vinyl is HARD to come by. even writing reviews doesn't hook you up like it used to. i don't do it so much anymore, until about three years ago, every day the post would be full to overflowing with promo vinyl/cd--i totally took it for granted. i probably didn't listen to more tha...
