he will be back in the future.. He will probably take a couple years off and then have a huge return.. Fuck i hope so.. i would hate to never see a Lawler set.
Lawler is great, love his sets, would be a pity to not see him again, but I have enough of his sets that I could still reminesce(sp) Go out on a high note, don't be a Oakenfold
Hehasn't said he's retiring, he's just wants to cut back on all his travels. This makes perfect sense. I'm at times shocked when i look at his site and see him gigging for like 15 times in a month - its gotta take it out of you.
Also what with Lights Out 3 (the final instalment) due out in the new year and an artist album some time soon, we're gonna be hearing a lot more off of Lawler in the future!
Definite props to Steve on this one. I honestly noticed his lack of enthusiasm the last couple times he visited Toronto. The tracks are great and flashes of his past brilliance would surface but from beginning to end in my opinion his set didn't remain focused.
Lack of enthusiasm? I really doubt that. Just because he doesnt prance around the booth like Tiesto doesnt mean hes not into his gigs. Would you say that John Digweed doesnt get enthusiastic about his gigs because he rarely cracks a smile or doesnt jump around the booth like a madman like say someone like Danny Howells does? I doubt it.
Steve like PVD, Digweed and countless other DJS have never been ones to go nuts in the dj booth, its just their personality. I dont think it means that they arent 'enthusiastic' or not into the party.
About the not focused part, well thats your opinion and your entitled to it. I've seen him spin a bunch of times over the course of the past four years and personally i've liked the livesets that i've heard out of him this year more than any other times i've gone to hear him play out. Needless to say I dont think hes lost his focus at all.

Yea I dont think hes going anywhere anytime soon. (thank god)
He said when hes 40 he cant see himself gigging around the globe as much as he does now. Hes only 31 years old now. I can see him taking a break/cutting back on some of his gigs but like you said, with the release of both his artist album and the final installment of 'Lights Out' due shortly I think its pretty safe to say well still have plenty of chances to see the dirtiest man in house music rock the living shit out the worlds best clubs.
I can definately understand his point...with all those tour dates and stuff, it's gotta get hectic! I don't know what I would do if it he retired for good. That would suck. For those of us who live in ares that only bring big DJ's, it could suck if he started a trend. Instead of new DJ's getting a chance, these clubs will revert back to their hiphop/pop/trendy days. I could definately see why he would want to cut back though. And I'm sure with LO3 coming out he's not retiring just yet. As long as he makes it back to WMC '05 it'll be all good!
Lawler not breing on the circuit is a terrible bomb to the scene. He is an incredible DJ and brings in a crowd that motivates and encourages the peolpe to come back again again and again. Its a sad day when he steps away from the booth. :cry:
