one of the best sets i've heard from him is his electrofly set from proton radio. Its only an hour long but its fuckin great, it should've been his 2nd cd on his renaissance cd.

there is no fuckin way that tiesto compares in the slightest to hernan. I would put hernan next to digweed if anything. just too bad he went with perfecto instead of bedrock, but i guess money talks eh..
I saw him ...oooh... about 6 hours ago and I wasn't particularly overwhelmed. That's the same feeling (or lack of it) I got the last time he played here as well I'm afraid.
Mixing was generally very, very good. A couple of key issues, but nothing dramatic.
Tracks were often from the bigger end of the box, which never scores points with me. Some nice squelchy stuff but then he'd dive into prog trance and back out into house. Huge build-ups, big long quieter sections and repeat. Basslines were uninspiring. Just meh.
Programming. Not happy with this generally, but I think that's mainly cause I wasn't properly on board to start with.
He'd basically halved the size of the dancefloor 2 hours into the 4 hour set. Plenty of people still going mental.. just not anywhere near as many as at the start!
Anyone who's interested in Hernan's stuff will no doubt want to take a listen to his new Jan 2005 promo I put on inthemix:
Interesting review there Grant, I don't feel so bad for missing last night now.
Saw you down @ glitch on Friday night but didn't get a chance to say hi. What a rocking night that was, definately gonna be checking out Michael Mayer a lot more in the future. Great to see him getting into his own mix so much too.
As for Hernan, while I haven't seen him live yet, I do believe that he's the only dj presently out there good enough to take the reigns from Digweed if he ever decided to retire, and its still such an early point in Hernan's career, he's only going to get better and better.
I hold him in the same regard as Digweed because I feel he's the only one out there who can program a set as good as Digweed can. When he works a groove, he really works a groove and sends his sets to another level. Only 2 dj's out there who can do it so affectively.

I don't suppose anyone's ripped Hernan's promo for future hosting on [ms] ?

This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

I ripped it this afternoon to check out in the car. Not sure what the score is with Grant on this one, but I can make it available is he's cool with that.

No need to rip it - if it's going to be hosted, then I'll supply [ms] with my original.
I'll see what his management and the [ms] mods have to say.
Syntax - as for those Digweed comparisons... hmm, you're on your own there matey! Always a little touchy to make comparisons to Diggers on [ms]
