Maya Jane Coles, what's all the hype about?

[Nephew]

Here in Europe people like Buttrich, Squillace and Tanzmann have a much bigger name in the scene than Maya. And while her tracks are solid, they are also a bit more mainstream/easy to listen to, so she has a much bigger audience. And don't forget; two years ago Davide Squillace also became big in a short time, which was mainly because Dubfire took him in as his protege. The same is happening now with Carlo Lio (ok, ok, Rawthentic helps a bit).

Buttrich is a hero and he already got a lot of credit, not only for his own work but most of the tracks with the names "Timo Maas" and "Loco Dice" on it are by his hand too.

Sorry to say it, but I don't really understand what the fuss is about...

Don't get me wrong, I know all of these guys have a solid rep and are busy as hell, but Maya is getting more press than the rest of these guys it seems.

That's the part that's getting me the most

'cause she looks like a messed up Rihanna gone house music? Hell, i'd be over that as well.

Since when did talent = promotion? There will always be less talented artists out there with more exposure than those with more talent because said less talented artists promote themselves better. Mystery solved.

[DennisHuiberts]

That is also very true. Lately DJ'ing isn't about who has the most talent, but who can kiss ass best .

How did Rebecca get famous so fast with possibly one of the worst songs in the history of mankind..... oh wait...

"What They Say" (Dyed Sondorom mx) IMHO is fresh and solid. Radio Slave is weaving magic with her and Nina Kraviz and Yam Who? Dropped it in a set on Saturday - the place took off! She's not better than sliced bread, but can can get it on. Another acid test - the singing/whistle test in the showers after a Spinning class. It scores!

The fact that she's only 23 and a girl helps. But in the house game, it wouldn't get her that far. (Besides, she's not a looker.)

Her music is just GOOD, fresh, new & old at the same time, that's all.

In this sea of mediocrity -ocean really- it's nice to hear some good fresh talent.

I'm not disagreeing with that at all, but it's nothing original or unique.

Well, that's allready alot by today's standards.

What about Kate Simko, another house chick on the up&up. "Margie's Groove" is on my platter often these days. Can't wait to see here live next month
