dubfire mixing technique

[DISaS73R]

Noone said Richie Hawtin's not talented. It's just that people are really overrating him and his use of technology. I used to love their mixes and I still enjoy them every now and then, but there are artists who do less in terms of technicality, but end up with better sets. I just think that Hawtin's too focused on doing as much as he can and not just picking better music.

There have been a handful of articles in the past few years exposing this... As a producer who has produced tracks for others for money I can confirm that this happens. Some people just don't know.(

You talk a lot, but you tell nothing.

shame on all of you who say hawtin and dubfire are boring. it takes extensive knowledge of music to really appreciate their sounds. Not only is dubfire amazing, his label sci-tec puts out so much fire its ridiculous. Shaded (half of shdwplay) and carlo lio are his prized players at the moment and their sounds push the barrier of minimal music imo. the dolphins, the junkies, macronism, i think the only reason dubfires not so "hot" anymore is because hes marketing his label and trying to promote everyone rather than him. Hes only released a handful of tracks within a couple years but hes still in the tops for me. if you like gaiser youd love shaded. Shaded works with a cntrl:R like a mad scientist its intense. I was at exchange in la a while back and saw the three go at it and quite honestly it was a spaceship party it was mental. I guess i can understand why some would not enjoy a hawtin set only because his style is very abstract but to say hes not talented is a farce. hawtin's use of technology is extraterrestrial. i dont know any artist that has done something like hawtin did with contakt back in like 2009 or whatever, that takes talent. not trying to hate whatsoever everyones entitled to their opinion but id give them another chance. maybe try and give a listen to their recent sets?



dubs set at wmc was more deep which i really enjoyed

I love shaded love bug and be my Binge are regular tracks in my sets, the junkies and dolphins are releasing crazy stuff at the moment as well. I agree with you about Hawtin and Dubfire their styles are crazy and something I've been doing something similar for awhile (it's not easy what they are doing). I love how when Dubfire plays long sets he usually starts very deep and minimal and then kills it towards the end.

I have a good friend from Los Angeles that has produced tracks for big names and he wasnt allowed to put his name on it because they wanted the big name to get recognition for it. Which is fine he says "I got paid well".

Please google "Charlie May"

[geminimech]

You're good friends with Charlie May? Is he a good chap? I know he's produced tracks with and for Sasha with Barry Jamieson, is this the 'big name' you speak of?

[oliosky]

Its well known that May has produced "with" Sasha since before time.

And despite the frothing about how genius the guy is, Dubfire is pretty much the single most boring DJ I have ever seen. And I've seen him twice to give him the benefit of the doubt. All hype no fucking substance.

You talk alot but don't search much. Google is your friend.

Do some research instead of living in a bubble where you need all of your information spoon fed. Like i said there are plenty of articles out there, if you want to read one go google it. I have written tracks for people, I have friend's who have written tracks for people... Like others have said here, when you ghost write a track an artist is paying you to make a track and keep your name out of it... You can possibly be this naive?

I know there are people that ghostwrite tracks for artist, but what I was referring to is this:

Some of the Drumcode artists don't even produce their own tracks.

I can't find any specific evidence for this, because it's not there.

I'm simply asking questions.

I was using charlie may as an example...my friend produced for a big name out of LA...
