NEGATIVE PITCH TEMPO DJ'S FINALLY

[JACKS938]

Thank the Lord above that DEEPHOUSEPAGE has added some DJ's that I am truly feeling at the moment because they play at slower pitch-tempos than what we're normally accustomed to hearing in today's times. You see I believe that when house music is mixed at slower pitch-tempos you can hear soulful hypnotic sounds in the music that you otherwise wouldn't be able to hear. It just seems to me that most of the house music DJ's today are playing the music faster than back in the day. Don't get me wrong if you like your music fast and flying then keep listening to it that way however I believe that there should be a section for those DJ's that play fast and those that play slower so that a persons listening preference is satisfied. Oh by the way the DJ's that I'm talking about that I'm feeling right now are DJ Mike Sarkus(#965)and DJ Earon featured in the Timmy Richardson presents section. They be doing that shit. Peace.

Dirk. graemlins/acclaim.gif You have a point but I think variety is the key. A whole night at any one tempo range can become monotonous and boring. I think a dj should cover the spectrum (if time permits)

[Mike Sarkus]

Thanks for listening to the mix....I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I have to agree that I prefer my tempo a bit slower than most of what is being played at the moment. I also think that it does accentuate some of the more soulful sounds of the record. I also think CLEO has a valid point that being stuck in any one beat range for an entire night would be monotonous and variety is key.

Thanks again for the support....

-Mike

TO DJ MIKE SARKUS AND DJ EARON THANK YOU BOTH FOR

THE HOT MIXES AND PLEASE PROVIDE MORE TO THE SITE. graemlins/respekt.gif

[Mike Sarkus]

I'll try and do another mix soon, work schedule is kind of heavy for the next few weeks. Thanks again for the kind words and also thanks again to GMAN for posting my mix here.

-Mike

Let me add my props to Mike Sarkus and DJ Earon for their fine mixes.

As the salesman in the 12" store used to say to us, "Let me blacken it up for you," as he reached for the pitch control to move it towards the minus sign.

[Andrew Osborne]

The first time I ever heard Mondee Oliver's great "Stay Close", which is 128 bpm, it was pitched down about -6%. It was a hell of a shock to buy it and hear it at its "real" speed.

Dirk. graemlins/acclaim.gif Hey Dirk, thanks for the comments concerning the recent mixes added to the DeepHousePage by Mike and Earon. I most certainly have enjoyed listening to them as well. Please don't sleep on the other excellent mixes on this site that are in a similar tempo range ;)

Ligoligoa you know the deal. Wish there were more of us around to school others on how to blacken it up a little by moving the pitch control towards the minus sign. Do you know of any other DJ's that happen to play in the black? I'm familiar with Larry Heard, Tony Humphries (at one time), Cheddi Simmons, Bernie Brown. Any others? Dirk.

I used to live in Atlanta, which was kind of like Poland: off to the side, but there was a small house community there. The 12" salesman I referred to above who blackened things up for us moved on to New York to swim with the big fishes, and I guess he has been fairly successful. His name is Tedd Patterson. And when he DJed in Atlanta, he used to play the music you and I would like. In fact, a couple of times, I came to a club where he was playing, but at 6 a.m., after everyone else had expired. He would see me solo on the dance floor and play just what he knew I liked. Ahhh!!! Only the privileged get personal service....

From some comments I've seen on this board, Tedd has branched out to some rather hard sounds. On the other hand, a friend of mine in Atlanta who heard him not long ago said he did stuff that bordered on bubble gum. I don't know whom to believe....

But a friend of mine in Atlanta who is unequivocally in our camp is Ron Pullman. For all I know, he may be rejected there now as a brontosaurus. But by our standards his music choice is flawless. And he has no driving need to make 21-year-old white boys jump.

[Mike Sarkus]

Thank you Ligoligoa for the encouragement. I listened to Earons mix today and I really enjoyed it as well.

Yes Ligoligoa you are certainly someone that I have assessed as knowing the real deal. It does seem that most DJ's in today's times have this need to make 21-year old white boys jump. I think they would be far better off keeping house music in/at its original roots (BLACK, FULL OF SOUL, AND UNAPOLOGETIC). Too many DJ's are trying to please too many different formats/styles for the monetary achievement and in doing so they have compromised its true origin. Holla back. Dirk. graemlins/acclaim.gif

Stop by the store on Thursday's and ask him. He turned me on to that style but I'm still not comfortable with playing below minus 2, especially when many in the audience are also dj's and start making faces like WTF are you doing? Try listening to Los Soneros - Tumba Mabo at -5, especially the intro, it sounds some much better for me personally.

I play a lot of stuff in the negative.I don't pitch up much,it depends.Just my own steez that's all.I think the newer tunes lose the soul when pitched up like mad.To each his own....
