Unfortunately for me, i was in the club when lavelle "recorded" the gu026 set. The guy was totally fucked up, couldn't tell what he was doing there... the resident of the club kept coming to put him back on track. The music we heard that night was way worse than what's on the cd... and u know how much the cd sux
The second time around i caught him 6 months later in club on the black sea coast... he was set up to play for 5 hours and ended up playing three cos he sucked ass and was totally wasted .... again. They had to take him off the decks. So yeah... Lavelle is SHIT
lavelle live is crap...he came to lima a few months ago too, before playing in Buenos Aires...and the same shit, no mixing, and he sounded like a top 25 comercial dj
Half of you can't beatmatch either. If you can do it better then get out there and do it yourself. I'm tired of all these critics that CAN'T beatmatch themselves!!!!!!It's not ALL about that. There is NO excuse for him showing up all fcuked up to a gig and disrespecting all of the people who paid good money to see him. However, I feel that the body of his work is great; way ahead of his time. Have any of you noticed tha all of his Mo Wax releases sound better than 99% of the crap pressings that are being put out there by quality labels. Don't be so caught up in beat matching it isn't EVERYTHING. Well I'm glad I got that off my chest.
Maybe this should be the James Lavelle DEpreciation thread. I've not seen him live, and after the numerous bad reviews, and the limited good ones, I dont think I ever will. beat matching IS important, though one or two songs in set flowing together during a break isnt bad, the entire set shouldnt be that way, if thats what you people mean by not being able to beat match. But if he is just train wrecking, then that is ridiculous, and just because you are a decent producer, doesnt mean you should automatically be a head-lining dj.
And playing your own track twice in one set? Thats just sad, really sad.. ok we get it, in a state was a decent record.. Sasha played the hell out of it, and remixed the hell out of it.. turn the fucking page.
