Stink-Finger Debate #01: Detroit, Ewan Pearson and Redshape

Lelo — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 22:51:00 +0000

discuss…

Mick: I’m seeing Ewan Pearson this weekend, for free!
thinking Redshape would be way too banging at Berghain for my taste.

Drake: Man – his shit is the hotness, perfect location for it….

And is less banging than Eqan Person can get! heh

Think Pearson will be too epic for panormaa, it suits more subdued grooves of a berlin nature methinks to be truely hot, tho it’s an ace space for anything.

think berghain room on a kompakt night

Mick: Pearson plays to suit the venue. He’ll mack it.

Websta: your love fer pearson weirds me out.

Mick: Either of you seen him play?

Drake: Yeah, he’s ok… if on the cheese side of dance for my tastes. is an ok producer now and then too… tho again, he’s always got that jack lu cont of 2007/08 vibe about him. Talented sure. but I’ve never heard a great mix from him, lots of nice songs, but up against the top djs he’s pretty safe….

How many times you seen him?I’ve heard a couple of dozen sets… none which light up much.
Don’t have to see someone to have an opinion….You seen redshape play at berghain?

The Ninja: *comments banned*

Mick: True. I’m just basing my opinion on what i’ve heard be played at Berghain and what i’ve heard of Redshapes production. Only really loved Ultra.
Totally agree on Pearsons production over the last few years. Too stringy and can see why people would dismiss him. But can honestly say that as a live dj, he’s the man.

Websta: meh, redshape and pearson are both rubbish, but at least pearson don’t wear a spack gladiator mask……

Benny: I still think some people would challenge that choice of words wayde.
Ewan Pearson is awesome for his remix of goldfrapp train if nothing else. More people need to bite ‘i feel love’

Drake: There is no other artist on earth that suits Berghain more…
And Wayde, I really pity you if you for not having taste in quality music. Must truly suck to know that you don’t chose good lasting music and that everything you like turns out to be shite after a while.

Websta: examples? i heard a truckload of redshape stuff didn’t even like the `hit’. mind you i got over detroit in the 90′s….

Drake: Weren’t you the one who got Redsahpe vinyl? You have called moodyman rubbish, even tho you used to like it. You have called countless others rubbish, even though you used to like them….

It’s all very confusing for people. I guess it’s because if people like something well enough to endorse it, it’s not very often they will turn around and call the same thing rubbish a while later. They might grow out of it, but to have so little faith in your own taste is very strange.

One can’t help but wonder when RPR will become ‘rubbish’ for you? (probably in 3 months time when their residency at Fabric gets going properly away from ricardo).

I already know they won’t last, in fact, I think everyone here knows that. They play very safe, now music that is not very musical, and won’t be remembered beyond a few eastern bloc clubbers and a couple of ex-fabric folk. Every berlin DJ can spin like they do, for as long, with the same music. If they were Hans, Henrik and Jens then they wouldn’t even be on anyone’s radar. Doesn’t mean that they are shite. And I won’t say they are shit in 2 years time, but I’ll bet money you will call them shite in 2 years time. But there are plenty of way hotter talents out there (Tanzman, Serafin, Quarion, Reboot, Johnny D) who are pushing the tech-house roll style with a lot more flare, musicality, and longevity.

Considering Redshape outsells most other artists around at present, and gets charted by a fuckload of people, his sound is fairly relevant today I’d say…

Websta: Yes i have 1 12″, simon left it for you at my house… so technically its yoursand yes thats a point well missed Matt.

I do love moodymann rpr etc etc but 99% of artists at some point lose the focus, drive, edge that they initially had. I don’t stop liking the old stuff but i do not blindly keep loving them if they start to release rubbish. Example : I like the rolling stones. When? 60′s or the 2008 version? are those 2 versions of the stones the same?

If Rpr start to release crap records i shall stop caring and move on to whatever it is that gets me excited. I have no favourites and no need to cling to dead heroes.

Why do you?
