Steve Lawler: Tribal survivor

bullshit Steve. now thats a mockery with yourself. u were awesome and a milion of fans still love the dark drums. bored shitless is what u doing now. and not only you. the whole army plays the same shit. bah

here is the whole interview

haha.. he is trying to be modern.. what a joker

damn

viva la tribalmixes djs  

I used to love Steve lawler, he was the one that got me into house music 3 years ago. I still listen to his old sets. He came to my city for my birthday the same night as Hed Kandi and I decided to go to lawler and I eneded up leaving the club at 12.30. He was just playing minimal crap, basically drug music. After that I lost all my admiration for him.

i m not with u that much bidona.. large djs like digweed and lawler dont think in this way they just think we love minaml music soo why dont we play it and they dont think people will like it or not they just do wht they want and i think they sucesseded people still warship digweed & lawler all i want to say is that they play wht they like not wht we like

arnani, ur not very right here.lawler may be a big name but he is ways not that big as digweed.and digweed is still trying to play good music when he is together with sasha.. like I said minimal is modern and there is not only lawler or digweed who are playing it.. there are hundredz of djs..and if u think that lawler or digweed or sasha like minimal u are very very wrong.. they are musicians.. they know whats good music.. they just want to make more money and to be modern.. thats what its all about

right nn

maybe....

I made a similar comment in the Sasha essential mix thread, but i can't see how we can be blaming the dj's in situation like this...

We have a few current trends...
1. Minimal is very big right now and even though we may not like it there is some very well produced music out there
2. The problem is that the producers are now producing minimal and it just means that there is less people creating new innovative and creative tribal music that Steve Lawler used to play
3. When you take the top two points there will be a time where either the dj will become bored "shitless" playing the same stuff over and over again or he will branch out into new areas

Very few dj's have stayed true to a particular sound, Steve Lawler is no different..... Unfortunatley we have to come to a realisation that there was a period that he played true tribal music that we all love. We can complain that he has turned his back on a genre that he owned but i think we should try and embrace the new direction he has taken and appreciate quality music when we hear it.

I agree with you. If i really really love a djs work. I will follow him wherever genre he decides to go to.

totally agree  

I hate minimal... 2 months ago i've been to amnesia in ibiza. 55 Euro for richie minimal hawtin, Ricardo minimallobos and Tobi Neumann.   Maximal price for minimal party.   Next time i will stay  on the beach with my mp3-player and a set from alejandro rado! More fun, less price!
