Re: Osamu M on kissssssss

I have watched Osamu gradually change his style over the past year, but he plays according to his mood...he's very experimental. He's goes outside his comfort range, always looking to take on a challenge. He moves with the times.
He's been expanding his music range for a while, especially these days...he wants to cater to everyone...but you can't please all the people all the time
Osamu plays to suit....not just acid house and electro.....he's got a wide range of tunes

so ill put his private set n if u were dissapointed with kiss set ull definely be able to feel his fantastic vibe on this one

Re: Osamu M on kissssssss

wow, i just read this thread for the first time today.

it's SHITE imo.

osamu, taking critism from people who call "Aftermath" electro would be silly. the whole electro things been discussed 150 million times on this board, and still most cant really grasp the new direction house is taking. it's just like people with "popular" muscial taste referring to all EDM as "techno". you guys are doing the exact same thing by calling it electro!!!

it's embarassing. some people just progress slower then others, and some don't progress at all. it's not your fault. i'm sure there are other boards who very much enjoyed your mix and the change of pace you brought.

and taking heat from some prog breaks guy, i mean come on dude. he said he doesn't like "party" music, so that means anything that produced with the intent to move a crowd at a party is shite. so trentemoller, tiefshwarz, m.a.n.d.y are all nothing but no talent ass clowns. i am shocked i read such a narrowminded statement from jtodd. this is a perfect reflection on why prog house is losing so many djs. the prog crowd doesnt want music to progress. they all want sasha from '01 back and cant let go of the past. fuck move on guys. what a terrible terrible shame.

dude the thing is jtodd, breaks do nothing for me. aboslutely nothing. i dont care for them, i dont like to dance to them, i dont like to listen to them, i just plain and simple dont like them. breaks to me, isnt party music. ESPECIALLY prog breaks. they are good for when i need to fall asleep real quick at night, but when im awake or at the club, fuck em. but thats just me dude. it doesnt mean nobody else should listen to them, it just means i inperticular, dont care for them. am i going to go on every breaks board and tell them to listen to electro instead because i think its more "serious". thats maybe what bothered me the most about what you said. and regardless of my distaste for breaks, i wont sit here and say the breaks producers suck ass and there music is shit and not serious. the music just isnt my style, and we look for different things when we listen to music, isn't that the beauty of sub genres?

kinetic said it spot on -

Props to Osamu for following his heart and his own path

reading this thread was very discouraging.

Re: Osamu M on kissssssss

I?ve lost track of the ammount of times I?ve seen people on this board dissing so-called "electro" sets after listening to them once and then returning later to say that they?ve listened again and now they like it.

For fans of progressive music, some people don?t seem to keep a very open mind...

I partly understand these reactions though...tech/electro isn?t usually "easy-listening", I took some time to get into this sound and some of it IS boring and lazy, no doubt, but it confuses me to see some people dismiss it so easily around here.

My "moment of clarity" came with Chris Fortier?s Balance CD?s and Kiss mix...and I now feel that this type of stuff takes me back to what got me into Dance music in the 1st place, which was techno. Stuff like my precious old Dave Clarke, Plastikman, Joey Beltram and Jeff Mills CD?s...before those, I enjoyed very few dance tracks, but those CD?s made my head spin...and this sound partially reminds me of it...

As you can guess, I loved this set...and I mean, don?t tell me a set like this won?t work on a dancefloor, for example...listen to this loud and then come back here. Excellent sequencing and pace (like someone said before me), great chunky, funky tunes.

Props to Osamu for following his heart and his own path.

im quoting this in hopes people will re-read his post. i agree completly and found it to be insightful and accurrate.

i just can not understand the state prog house is in, but slowly it's starting to matter less and less.

You might want to finish reading through my posts though. I already recanted my previous statements upon closer examination.

Re: Osamu M on kissssssss

I'm really glad I could please you.

I really think people should see criticism as part of how we enjoy and are involved in music. Sure it is probably better to not say anything if you don't like something but I see nothing wrong with a little fair and intelligent criticism.

I really and truly believe Osamu is one of the most talented progressive producers in the world and after giving this mix a better listen I think it is another example of that.

However, I also see nothing wrong with a little discussion. That's where the fun is right? I don't take the negative things people say about my music personally, that is just part of putting yourself out there. I think criticism does more to further you as an artist than praise. When someone takes the time to say something, good or bad, you should take the time to listen. Nothing I said was meant as a personal attack on Osamu even if it was negative.

ok fair enough. i agree that criticism and discussion is a critical part of the scene. but it seemed like the first few responses were of people who just didnt know what they were talking about and were totally slamming the guy because he didnt play what they wanted. those are the same people who will rip djs for "following the crowds" but then rip them when they don't hear exactly what they want. almost as if they're critism was becoming more of a detrement then anything that could be viewed as a positive.

now there was your mistake, so many positive things and fairer criticism were said on pages 3-5...
