Re: Omar-S Live dj set

I'm pretty sure his CDs all have names.

Just listen to the music and if it moves you, cool. Have fun, I think his set will be a good time, regardless of whether you like his tracks. Unless he does an homage to his Fabric mix. wink

Do it your way, because everyone else is just weird.

What are you saying exactly? I presume his sets are a mixture of his own and others tracks and I for one would love to see him

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

smile
i was ok...for the part that i remenber..after that things went wild
and i dont remenber anymore

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

all those mix cd have his own tracks in. and they not hard to find as you can get from fxhe.
Omar s has mad styles about his person, you dont like one record but the next record has a totally different feel.
I'm always a little surprised when people dont like him, unless they heard just one or two of his records.

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

He played Glasgow a while back.  Cant mix for his life and was a little underwhelming.
Some producers should stay in the studio, Carl Craig being another example.

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

Would love to hear Omar-S DJ for once, altho' i'm not that impressed with his mix cd's.. and the fabric mix isn't really that special either... but still.. his tracks are great!

Totally agree about Carl Craig. Saw him once, playing a set after Theo Parrish (who rocked ofcource) and it was horrible.. some detroit techno-trance crap or something..

I guess that was at 10 Days Off in Ghent. I was there as well wink.

CC was a let down indeed, especially when you know the guy knows his "Pappenheimers".

Honey, in the morning the bees are singing and the birds are stinging in an open head surgery.

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

10 days off idd! It was worth it for Theo Parrish alone.. nice set!

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

Saw Omar at Fabric this last weekend. Mostly pretty good but had a lot of departures to soulful house.. Not as good as previous times I have seen him. But still played no U.F.O's and Steve Silk Hurley so I cant complain big_smile

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

Maybe he just doesn't care any more.

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

dont bother playing to people who pay money to see him then.
saying 'i doint care' 'im not going to bother'... well, you wont win friends like that..
i dont think that really the problem though, think he is just not the best of djs.
album soon too or?

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

i really liked the interview. how i read it the "i don't care" stuff was more towards artists not showing up at his studio and dealing with businessmen who are fucked from doing drugs, not towards his fans...

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

Just wanted to get your attention but agreed - seems he's just talking about the business and hustle of it all. Got love for the fans though.

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

Saw him saturday and it was excellant. The choice of music and atmosphere was spot on. Vry nice of him to put up with certain drunken fanboy antics.

A paranoid is someone who knows a little of whats really going on.

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

Saw him play at Bleep43 in London a few weekends ago and he was really good. He played for 4 hours and everyone there was well into it. He seemed pretty into it too.

Re: Omar-S Live dj set

Yeah, I think he does really well with long sets when he can tell that the crowd is feeling it. I saw him play a 4 hour set on a roof in Detroit during the festival this year it was totally sweet. I don't know about technical stuff, but the track selection was great--house, techno, acid, his own productions, some classic type stuff. I remember he dropped Adonis "No Way Back" and everyone cheered and he had this secret smile on his face. Was very personable too and I am not usually someone who chats up dj's but I wanted to say hi and he was very nice.

I'm making him cookies next time he comes to NY.

Carl Craig's set at bloc weekend was the first time i've seen him and I have to say it was like watching paint dry and knowing that all the paint was gonna do was dry.
