2 Bears: fucking great, man

[tmac]

i enjoyed it

we get poop next week

[mistakenstrangers]

it is a god damn shame azari & III aren't going to be at coachella.

god damn shame indeed. their essential mix was absolute perfection.

[guedita]

The Ana Helder "What Club" track in the 2 Bears EM sounds like she's saying "Butt Plug."

So your saying it was good?

[nyarlathotoats]

Just hearing 2 bears essential mix....pretty good. The part that sticks from first listen is the azaelia banks mix.

[chiapet]

Maceo Plex in a week. I can't wait to see the ridiculous jizzing the board takes over this.

[grannock]

If you say so... Im excited.

[Mr. Dylanja]

How was Maceo Plex? I missed it.

[grannock]

It was good, not great. Needed more standout tracks.

[guedita]

It was so boring I turned it off halfway through. Sorry Maceo.

[Gribbz]

It was so boring I turned it off halfway through. Sorry Maceo.

That's disappointing.

[ods..]

I dug it, I dunno.

[Oranix]

I'm listening to Maceo right now. so far so good. im more excited for SCUBA this friday. really diggin his stuff lately.

[nosurprises12]

Scuba on Friday? Fuck yeah! His DJ-Kicks release was one of my favorite mixes from last year.

[Ross1492]

Maceo Plex was hopelessly meh. Scuba should be ace, as always.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Yeah, completely forgettable. I was probably expecting too much, but it did nothing for me.

[Ross1492]

He's hugely overrated imo. Decent producer at times but I have yet to hear anything approaching a decent dj set.

[chiapet]

It was so boring I turned it off halfway through. Sorry Maceo.

I felt the same way and really, really did not get how excited people were getting about it (friends posting dozens of times on FB about how wonderful it was). I'm bummed. Not sure I'd even want to see a show now. In retrospect, yea, there has been too much hype and I was expecting too much.

[Oranix]

ok after listening 3/4 through it, it really didnt go anywhere.. it was kinda boring :/

an Essential Mix that DOES have longevity is probably Jokers EM...still so good after a few months. anyone know any artists similar to Joker?!

[Mr. Dylanja]

Riddler

[Coachella Bound]

Going to have to agree... seems like hes just taking a stab at whats hot right now. Really late on this one, though my friends hype him like he's the greatest, didnt realize he was aka Maetrik. Deff felt dull on his EM, never went anywhere.

Do like his guest mix on Carl Cox's radio show.

as far as EMs go, still have Azari & III on constant.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Penguin

[Coachella Bound]

Mr Freeze

[Mr. Porter]

L-Vis 1990 is my favorite so far, but there's a lot of time to go obviously lol

[malcolmjamalawesome]

"L-Vis 1990 is my favorite so far, but there's a lot of time to go ... obviously! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

[chiapet]

Hah. I didn't realize he was Maetrik. I'm really late on / missed completely the Maceo bandwagon. And that's fine with me.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

More like Maceo Bleccchs

[unknown]

Yeah, the Maceo EM was extremely dull. I'm not expecting much from Scuba's, either. Streamed his album yesterday and the only track I actually enjoyed was Cognitive Dissonance. He seems to be evolving into a sound I don't really care for.

[Ross1492]

That album is going to rub many people the wrong way. Living in Berlin has certainly affected his sound; not sure if it's for better or worse. Having said that, I still find him to be a good DJ.
