This makes me laugh actually. 3-4 years ago, fans never know how the base was dropped in that ‘Allen & Health’ filter way. People like Hawtin pretty much invented that way of mixing, now people are all ‘in the know’ and moaning that it’s predictable. Granted it can be done way too much and over the top, but come on get over your selves.Johnson wrote:yeah also noticed that ... that was the only let down ... they only played like 40% of the basslines inside the tracks... but even after hours everyone was screaming when they dropped the bassline in ... was a bit to much for my likinggrace anxiety wrote:
i didnt enjoy hawtins set, the only reason i stayed to watch was because he was outside. also thought loci dice and carola were a bit repitative. it seemed they and hawtin have developed some habit of allen and heath style mixing filter for 1 minute, drop in bass, repeat.

Nobodies trying to say they are in the know. more or less just stating the facts. hes done that nearly everytime ive seen him. i dont know how ppl enjoy it after about an hour. some of my friends watched him do teh same at timewarp for 8 hrs. i had to leave after two as i found it very boring. also what was with him standing on stage with his arms out liek some sort of messiah. playing billy jean ect. what happened to this hawtin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zlpB6V-yYs
zip showed them how it should be done!

When done here and there - its fine and kind of fun. When it's been done to death, for hours on end, for a long time by certain DJs - it's time to learn a few new tricks.
While Hawtin is still one of my favorite all around artists, his DJ sets the past while have been rather uninspiring. When /every/ mix in a set is the filter, its annoying. He also cuts the bass way too often and for too long.

If he still played by that, you would also be annoyed I'm sure...grace anxiety wrote: what happened to this hawtin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zlpB6V-yYs

Agree on the Hawtin part. In one way I wish he would return back to his ‘head down’ blow your mind more experimental Hawtin. But no-one can predict what happens to people when they become successful on a big scale, there are so many factors which can sway one’s mind from the original ethos. Art and Business will always cross paths, which is just the nature of the game. I’m always hopeful that he will show a glimpse of the standard that he is capable of but it does look unlikely which is a shame.grace anxiety wrote:Nobodies trying to say they are in the know. more or less just stating the facts. hes done that nearly everytime ive seen him. i dont know how ppl enjoy it after about an hour. some of my friends watched him do teh same at timewarp for 8 hrs. i had to leave after two as i found it very boring. also what was with him standing on stage with his arms out liek some sort of messiah. playing billy jean ect. what happened to this hawtin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zlpB6V-yYs
