Vekked Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 So far... Fong Fong - Breko - Rasp - Styluxtacut - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zt35O_pvns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 fong fong's set looks and feels like he's playing a video game. so fucking terrible and there has to be a point at which this level of smoke and mirrors is essentially cheating. i couldn't even listen to more than a minute of breko, americans have such fucking godawful taste in electronic music, jeez. rasp's sounded like one big sloppy fuck up, there wasn't a clean 20 seconds stretch... either he didn't practice enough or he's pushing too hard. styluxtakut... is that an entry? It's called '2011 showcase'. Anyway. I couldn't listen to it even academically, that fucking music is so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekked Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 stylux said on facebook that he was using that as his entry. but yea... can't say I'm too impressed so far... hopefully I can get my routine tied up/recorded asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 haha- his music does seem to be a way of saying "look at me, I'm down with the kids and I'm into new music" in recent battle routines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 This honestly bores the living shit out of me...a lot of bad set editing and even worse manipulation of those edits. How is almost a full minute of 'dissing' done with just minor pauses of his pre-edit? Seriously? Good lawwwwwwwddd.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 He does a few technical cuts that I can't do and all his sets I've seen including this one are really clean, much cleaner than I tend to perform battle sets so I can't really criticize him on a technical front, but I agree, besides the sax cutting part of this routine I don't find this set very exciting or varied, though compared to a lot of entrants he has his own taste in beats and everything is in key and works well as a set.

Steve Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Fong Fong's almost looks like it's being mimed. There are certain samples that play over the top of his juggles/cuts that seem like they were added afterwards, based on what he's doing with the records and fader at the time. I'm sure it's just very heavily pre-planned/laid out though. When I watched Breko's set it reminded me of when I was a teenager and my dad shouted up "turn that bloody racket down!" cos I was blasting out Sucker MCs. He's obviously a solid DJ though - I just don't like the tunes he chose to use. Rasp's set was sloppy in places, but I kinda liked it. Styluxtacut (what a name!) seems quite inspired by Rafik/Unkut in places. Musically not my cuppa tea, but some good bits in there. I find it hard to get into these battles when the DJs are playing music I would never listen to for pleasure - in fact I actively dislike most of it - but I think they were all good in their own ways, even though none of them did anything that made me think "oh, that's cool!". I can't help comparing these routines with ones from people like Unkut though, and then the gap in skill is too obvious to ignore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's just very heavily pre-planned/laid out though. There's a part that starts at 3:17 which is really misleading unless you're paying attention. He's definitely drumming on the left deck here, but he has other sounds, like the 'oh' and 'haha', playing in time on the right deck to give the drumming more impact and possibly sound more technical?

Chris Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 the inner hater's coming out of me a bit lately but to be honest i wouldn't be totally against these wack guys with lots of facebook friends being laughed out of town. there are too many doing too little and the whole culture is being coated in cotton wool into this shitty thing where people expect to be clapped for taking part. sometimes getting your feelings hurt is a productive experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
