cool bassline on the A side track. bet it sounds great in a club. That breakdown from 4:45 and on...is a great late nite/afters experience.

i like this, not his best music, but very nice music for dancefloor this one

i've heard misleading played at a festival (lovebox) - its huge! both tracks sound great placed in the right set, both big builders.

i like it

i guess the RA bubble who only like stuff that is 'different' and are scared of a house track with a kick drum and a beat (probably because they never actually dance and get lost in the music but normally just stand at the side in a club criticizing everything) i guess THESE people wont like this

because its not Detroit or obscure enough for them

a track can still be cool and underground, but rely on a groove and the beat you know, it isn't ALL about obscure melodies and ambient pads

but i guess if you never dance, than you wont understand it
yeah (i am talking to you, the RA reviewers, there is a few of you) YO!

Going from the clips alone I have to say that this release does sound like generic tech house which could have been made anytime from 2005 onwards. I guess this isn't a bad thing if that's the sound you're searching for. However the whole 'slow bassline' house is getting very formulaic and will fall on its arse before long. No longevity in the sound as we have seen from certain tunes. It's just another hype that will eventually fade out.

did the reviewer ever stop to think - maybe for one second - that the entire intention of the track was to MISLEAD you into thinking something big is going to happen, yet it doesn't? Track titles do serve a purpose, you know.....

What exactly is generic tech house? why does everything have to be obscure melodic weirdness
thats called electronica, if people like electronica, go review electronica, this is HOUSE music, its in the name, and its for DANCING, as it is called DANCE MSUIC, ha, what is wrong with people?

i like this, & the simplicity of the bass and the kicks, its stuff like this that sounds so amazing in clubs, sitting listening to it on your laptop you will never understand it, maybe the reviewer never goes out to clubs, hahah and doesn't understand it,

Generic tech house = the same sounding as the other 30,000 tech tunes that come out every month. If this had been an unknown releasing this it wouldn't have got reviewed.

Jose, the thing is though, don't you see that sometimes that is exactly what the artist is going for or the djs buying music want, a low slung deep tough house track

at the end of the day like the other guy said, it is not always about who made the most obscure track for this cool label or that cool label

most of the people i know who think like this are the ones that don't enjoy themselves when out at a club

it's like they have lost the point of what it is all about, they are in own little world and forgotten that the rest of us are into dance music, and enjoy tracks that make us want to dance, get lost in the music

not stand around and discuss what cool synth lead is used in the track or what type of kickdrum it is, unfortunately the people RA gets to review are these type of people, i bet my bottom $ that 9/10 of the RA reviewers don't dance or get lost in the music when out at a club.

all they are bothered about is liking what they thing nobody likes yet.

that is the sole purpose half of these people are in the scene

here is something, hahaha

why did the hipster burn his mouth?
he ate the pizza before it was cool

bradley, i didn't need to post anything on this thread mate because you fucking said everything for me - respect

as someone who is involved with music journlalism / journalists, you are absolutely right these aren't the same people who are dancing in clubs - you know, the actual TARGET AUDIENCE for the music they're attempting to evaluate

its all wrong imo

Bradley, you have a fair point and and if the producer is looking to make a straight forward dance tool for the floor, well its mission accomplished. Me personally, I would dance to it, but it wouldnt have piqued my interest. It would be another track in the long line that sounds like a hundred more. In a crowded market, sometimes it is better to stand out. And this market is saturated.

yes i agree, although i don't think that JoseMclean was making too bad comment, he was saying he thinks the sound of slow basslines is going to die soon, i agree with him, but i do like this track

for me it is a great dance floor track, sounds much better in club than on computer though.

Yeah, i was thinking exactly the same as you Dusk1983 when i read Bradley's post mate

It's funny how registered users of this site get down on RA's staff for favoring obscure electronic tracks, and in this particular case for standing around parties and criticizing the music. In reality, mainstream electronic fans could say the same thing about all of us with respect to the deep, tech, and minimal we listen to. I can tell you with 100% certainty that I would be standing around a SHM show being like WTF is this?! I guess there are several levels as to how 'underground' peoples tastes actually is.

see thats your problem, instead of liking house music and getting lost in it, you think its a competition bout how underground you say you are

im not into all that Luciano crap or that Joris voorn crap


but i do like to check out Adam beyer, as much as i would like to check out soul clap
i love to check out steve Lawler as much as i would like to check out motor city drum ensemble

i like it all, and depending on my mood i will listen to it

problem with people like you is, you think its about saying how underground you are,

there was a guy at our uni years ago, he said all year he liked fourtet over and over again, then we fourtet came on tour, he didn't even go
it was just a statement, cos really eh didn't like any house music

also im sure there is real electronia purists here reviewing house music, this is a HOUSE MUSIC SITE, go away with your chin stroking attitude and let us enjoy the music yeah ?

it's not a bad ep, works well. I like it.

yes i like it too

i dont know why the RA reviewers insist on being antagonists, maybe thats what RA wants, arguments = more hits = makes more $

but i want to say, i'm 100% certain some of these reviewers have never gone to a club and danced and enjoyed the music, there are plenty of good tough house tracks now that keep getting bad reviews.

why?

because the RA reviewers don't understand house music, they only appreciate, like the guys said above maybe electronica

maybe they should go and review on an electronica site? ha

I guess it all boils down to different tastes. I'm not a snob, I like to get sweaty on the floor like the next man. I also like to talk about the latest techno tunes with my chin stroking friends . I listen to vast amounts of genres within dance music and don't dismiss any off them.

@ Luca, I wouldn't say this is an argument, more of a discussion, which IMO is a good thing.

And to clear things up, some of the RA reviewers live, eat, and breathe this culture. They're in the thick of it, doing interviews, reviews, research, etc. They definitely understand house music and dance in general

You really, really, really misinterpreted my comment. But thanks for the rant

This thread is the bastard child of the Tokimonsta podcast thread.

haha, i am new to this forum, so fill me in on this Tokimonsta podcast thread thing, what exactly happened?

nice tune.

yeah i like it too.

Grab some popcorn and see for yourself - www.residentadvisor.net/forum-read.aspx?id=158433&page=1

man i've seen every dj....really...and adam beyer was the best lol

seems to me like the review was written with the reviewer making misguided assumptions about the dj's intentions with the track. i like the fact that the track teases you for 9 minutes while still having a solid groove. seems like a mid-set track, where you dont want too many dynamics, just keep people dancing. it owes more to earlier techno and tribal stuff than functional beatport tech-house. still not saying its a 5 star song, but... you know.

and that tokimonsta thread.... Lol
