Re: Balance 013 - SOS

i'm definitely not feeling the whole addition of Cure tracks on it. WTF!

That and the whole amount of melodies packed into will prevent me from buying this.

Not really my cup of tea...

Re: Balance 013 - SOS

^^^ I saw Desyn, Omid and Demi on Saturday night and they were just amazing.!! I enjoyed it so much I felt I was being unfaithful to Hernan. Omid is fabulous!! I refused to leave the dance floor for anything , I didn't want to miss a moment. !! 4 1/2 hours of some of the best dance music I have ever heard. !! Omid on his own a couple of years ago was in my top shows but this just totally blew me away.! Omid and Demi were the livewires.

Seriously the only comparable show ever was Hernan at brown Alley last year.

I've ordered this compilation . A lot of people love it. .

What's up with you dudes (dudettes?) drinking the tall glass of Haterade?

I appreciate that we're all borderline music snobs (complete with denial issues of same), but I am totally amazed by the lackluster reviews of this comp... I love it! Also very shocked at the Demi bashing... the guy's got some of the best booth presence I've ever seen, he's delivered a few blinding Kiss mixes, and his monster performance at Sonic here in Toronto rates among one of the best nights I've ever had.

I agree that the SOS sound is a bit high octane at times (even when paired with amazing substances), but I'll definitely be blaring all 3 discs through my headphones this weekend when we head to the mountains for some spring skiing.

At a minimum, I can't help but appreciate the fact that EQ's given three DJs with brilliant track selection/technical mixing/overall chemistry some room to run... you can easily notice each on of their individual touches and the result is a comp with everything from spacey studio bits to hard charging material which replicates the experience of seeing them live.

Call me bananas, but I rate this. Now when's a Dana Bergquist comp disc coming out???!?

Re: Balance 013 - SOS

^^^doesnt suprise me. i know these are desyns boys but he is better playing solo (where hs is at his best) or taggin with top of the line djs. (IE) i saw him and luke fair tag team at wmc one year and i thoguth they really feel off each other pretty well. demi/omid just dont cut it imo

Just read this! What do you mean Desyn's boys!! I've always found Desyn totally boring, pretty music sometimes, but I like a bit of life in my music. Omid in particular is so much better than Desyn. Oh well different taste I suppose. Put it this way I wouldn't bother with a stand alone Desyn, I'd crawl over broken glass to see Omid, so much better value in every way!!

Re: Balance 013 - SOS

desyn used to be fantastic, but his sets have become monotonous. demi is way, way better at setting a groove. as is Omid. I'd be interested in hearing this. I can't imagine it would be as average as Desyn's first balance...

[Dhar_2]

Re: Balance 013 - SOS

the demi set from the standard has that groove.

the balance cd is missing that. a bit too melodic.

but disc 2 rocks with the best of them!

Re: Balance 013 - SOS

The mix is like a musical journey with too many detours. Didn't feel tight, kinda light and fluffy. This feels like prog-handbag house for happy shiny people. Not my kinda sound.

Re: Balance 013 - SOS

now where is my handbag?



ah. there it is in the middle of the dance floor!
