    Seth Troxler

    Great article on him... although you could probably replace his name with a hundred others and it would read the same...

    Seth Troxler: Casual twists

    What's life like as one of the planet's most popular DJs? RA's Will Lynch shadows Seth Troxler for five days at Miami WMC 2012, finding out how extremely high and low things can get.

    From the Tuesday, March 20th edition of Private Stock, Bill Patrick's online radio show, this time hosted live from the villa at 4442 Prairie Ave, Miami Beach.

    Bill: "We got a killer, killer lineup. Point guard from Argentiiinaaa, Guuuuttiiiiiiii. Guti in the house. Our shooting guard, from Clinton Township Michigan, went to state college, Ryan Crossoooooooooon, a regular here at Private Stock. At small forward, from Tel Aviv, Guy.... Gerbeeerrrrrrr. Guy? At power forward from Brusseelllllllls, Igor Vicente, AKA Ultrasoooooone. And, starting center, from Kalamazoo, Michigan, the black behemoth, the rumble-in-the-jungle—is that racist? No?—Seth... Trooooxleeerrrr. Signature sky-hook Seth. He used to play power forward in high school. And center.

    "We're live from the villa.... Everyone's a little bit tired, they haven't slept. It's the first day of conference. Fucking amateurs, you'd think they would know to pace themselves, yet, it's Tuesday, and no sleep. No one likes to sleep. I rolled in from New York, everyone's still awake from the night before, completely fuckin' crackers, and they're like 'let's do the show.' Guy, actually, Gerber, is the one who spearheaded this, and he's outside talking about fucking love with Seth, and Guti, who can't even fucking stand, I don't even think he understands English right now... I mean, whatever. Ryan's here, and he's helping out. These other fucking mamalukes got nothing to provide."

    Ryan: "Relationship talk 101 with Guy Gerber and Seth Troxler. Igor's getting a good look at the dumb shit that we do, over and over and over."

    Bill: It's a proper fucking Opera show going on over there. You guys wanna talk about this at all?... Seth is deep in a text right now. Everyone's having problems with love right now. It's the spring season... Ryan's good, sure, but you know, don't be selfish, everyone else is having problems."

    Ryan: "Everyone in this room has picked me up when I've been down in matters of love, so I'll be here for them."

    Bill: "I'm just saying don't be fucking—I'm guilty of this as well. Just love yourself, and then, you'll find it easier to love someone you're with. Because right now we live this lifestyle where we're all over the place DJing, got this crazy lifestyle, it's super fun, but it's a bitch to get in a relationship, and we overthink it. I think we just need to play it cool. Just find someone you're happy with and don't try and be a fucking superstar, don't think you can just go around and be... no? It's the case for a lot of people. I'm just saying, just don't be a dick."

    Troxler has one good track, IMO. He's a decent jock, but nothing to bug out about.

    Out of curiosity, which cuts are you into, Dave? The only track I dig is Aphrika, which has a really cool Maya Angelou sample over a nice Detroit-style groove. I listen to most of his stuff that comes out on the strength of the one I like, but can never seem to get as up for them.

    I hear ya ... and I should have been more specific - I don't play most of his stuff out, I like/love his stuff b/c (in my head & ears) it's always a departure from the norm, and entertaining

    ... love Rave Loot Barbaro & have played that out many times
