he made a commitment. he did the same with the album. he just cares more about the album which is gay as fuck
seeing someone at a normal venue compared to latenight at a festival honestly just isnt even comparable

I won't deny that a proper fest show is way better than your average venue, but it's the album he put his heart and soul into for months vs random fest booking most of the way through fest season. Clearly one is gonna factor in a great deal more in his decision making process when he's already got a pretty full touring schedule already set to go. Long as he didn't bail like...the night of or directly before, which would definitely be a cunty move.
-------------------- "I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

Burke Dennings said: No, he made two commitments- to play the party, and to release the record by a certain date. Obviously his relationship with the label owners is more important than his relationship with the party promoters. In the long run, what do you think pays off more?
Also, last night while I made a mountain of baby food, I listened to the boiler room set by the dude in the OP, Daedalus. Like all of the tracks were really dope, but some of the mixes weren't too solid. They were on point as far as beat matching goes, but some were too ambitious. An overly elaborate mix can sound cluttered and muddy, confused. There was just too much going on and they suffered under their own weight. But I respect the desire to do something bigger than most other djs, and like I said, the tracks were pretty cool. Gonna listen to an album of his to get a feel for the studio work, which is much more important to me anyway.
On a side note, why does Daedalus look like he just stepped out of a Jules Verne novel? He must be from Oregon or something.
Yeah his boilerroom sets are intentionally ambitious, those shows are a format for DJ's and producers to try something new that otherwise wouldn't be well received at a large venue.
I like to think of it as their experimentation with studio ideas while trying to incorporate it in a live atmosphere.
Some good studio albums of his are, Love To Make Music To, Deny The Days Demise, and Righteous Fists of Harmony.
His more recent work is a little harder to get into. Drown Out and The Light Brigade were both heavily influenced by his experiences with his father-in-laws death and the contemplation of mortality.
The Victorian era bespoke aesthetic he has comes from his appreciation of Bygone era inventors, and his love of classical music since he was trained in that style at USC.
The controller he uses is what initially turned me on to his music, known as a Monome. He was one of the first producers to work with this 256 button behemoth, and an added 64 button mixer like attachment with accelerometer functionality to control effects and levels.
Listening to his sets is like a study in harmonic mixing, transition schemes, and sheer finger drumming/sequencing prowess.

Also to Bassfreak, stop throwing a temper tantrum. You are not entitled to have everything go exactly as you see fit with lineups to festivals you attend and blame it on the musicians.
Btw studio albums are fucking great, how else would a DJ have a track from another artist to play?

they could probly ask that artist
and what im just supposed to be happy he cancelled bc of his fuckin studio album that probly wont sell at all
i wish DJs didnt tour based on albums cuz that means the whole tour theres tracks that they play everynight just cuz its new. do a real DJ set when you just play what you want

No, you take it like a man and just say "oh well, better luck next time" instead of resorting to trash talking the musicians.
Not all DJ's tour solely off albums, and I respect the ones that do considering album release dates are meaningless for gaining exposure of new material since album leaks became such common place.

All I'm hearing is "I'm entitled to get what I want and if I don't fuck the people responsible".
Getting his work done on time, what are you his teacher?

Haha, you're so butthurt about this.
To be fair, I understand the frustration of being stoked to see a performer only to have them flake on the show. But I can't relate to pitching a hissy fit about it. You need to develop some coping mechanisms, bassfreak.

Nice choice, first producer besides Justice and Daft Punk who got me into electronic music.
Deadlines are a joke for making music, it's not something that needs to be pressured by a time frame.
I never think," wow this album is so much better because it was released at the expected due date!".
Taking their time to make a quality record is infinitely more important than having it release when you expect it to.

Yeah, I'll listen to one of them later. I tried listening to A Gent Agent, but it wasn't something I was in the mood for.

Dope, yeah his earlier catalog is a little bizarre. Her's Is is also another example of his oddball selection, but Of Snowdonia is where he starts to veer into the realm of dance music opposed to more or less purely conceptual music.
