I never got the deep dish hype back then and especially now. To each their own i guess.

Have you heard their first e-mix? Man, so good. Still hits the spot. Same for their Renaissance and Yoshiesque stuff.

Not playing that type of sound. Desyn has said in interviews he's embarassed about the music he used to play.

If that's true then that really is a shame, he had a signature sound, which is a lot more than I can say about him and plenty of other DJs I used to listen to these days. I can understand evolving your sound to stay fresh, but everything seems to have de-evolved with everyone regressing to a similar place.

I can relate to the Deep Dish analogy though, those Yoshiesque albums were proper house music, these days what they play and produce is nothing of the sort.

yeah the EM was from october 2004 I believe, and yeah Mariner the Home set is great. It's funny cuz most I think most desyn fans love him back then and not too much recently.

That's how I felt about many DJs for years. It's gotten better though.

what desyn plays now (well the last thing i heard is the cha cha set from brazil) is complete incomprehensible to me. Luke Fair has/had a similar sound and he plays quality house music still nowadays. Add2Basket deserves a mention as well. he came out really big in the last 2 years or so

here my fav desyn set from the past

has anyone kept current with what he's putting out on his label, Alternative Route? I'jm curious to see if anyone thinks his change in direction in music has affected what's being put out on that label....

I feel sorry for anyone who didn't get to see desyn live during his hey day... one of the best livesets I've ever been at was his set from Mexico.

And if for some strange reason you haven't heard Desyn's for Jimbo and Felix mix:

Holic, Hisham Zahran, Jody Wisternoff, Add2Basket, Tom Morgan, probably even Bart van Wissen, too.

Nice... with Luke Fair + Ricky Ryan you´ll have a pretty nice combo

I think for Desyn to say he's embarresed by his sound a few years ago is ridiculous. Back then the electro sound was ruining our ear drums. His sound was a breath of fresh air. It got me going that extra yard in the wee small hours!!

I absolutely agree, he obtained and played amazing music that no one else could find, or at least never got released somewhere mere mortals could find it. If he's embarrased about that then that's so shit.
I've downloaded the Mix for Jimbo & Felix last night and the Cha Cha set last night. Will listen to them today.

klangfabrik - I remember that set too, they were so consistently good back then. I was there for his set at HonkeyTonks Melbourne which I know got recorded and posted on to the internet around the same time I think, that was such an amazing night.

88 Mariner - Alternative Route seems to have stopped releasing music. 3 releases since July 2008 and none since June last year. Symphonic Records was the same, they had so much amazing music signed for release that never saw the light of day.

Well I guess that pretty much tells us of how much an artist Mr. Masiello really is .
