| Vieilles Charrues 2011
Just got back today from 4 days of festival, so good. these are the bands I saw, in order of preference | | 1 |  | Snoop Dogg
Doggystyle
He did most of his first album and even managed to make Sweat sound like a good song. One of the best concerts I've ever seen | | 2 |  | The Chemical Brothers
Dig Your Own Hole
The setlist was so good | | 3 | | Goran Bregovic
Goran Bregovic
Really surprised Sputnik doesn't have this man in the database, Balkan music is so good. | | 4 |  | Cypress Hill
Black Sunday
I got high... sooooo high | | 5 | | Mondkopf
Day Of Anger & The Excuse : Rising Doom
Sputnik should check this out too. Dev probably knows him | | 6 |  | Scorpions
Blackout
I felt so 80's. Also, the drum solo was badass | | 7 |  | Supertramp
Breakfast in America
It would've been better if they didn't seem to have planned their concert, still loved it | | 8 | | Stromae
A french DJ. I didn't really like him, but after hearing so much good about his live performances, I was curious. Nothing groundbreaking, but really fun and enjoyable | | 9 |  | The Bloody Beetroots
Romborama
They're not bad at all. but in the end it was pretty repetitive, I prefered the moments where they would play with the synths. good concert nonetheless (really violent crowd) | | 10 |  | Lou Reed
Transformer
Stage presence is awful, but the music was pretty nice.. | | 11 |  | Kaiser Chiefs
The Future is Medieval
They weren't bad, but nothing amazing, except for "Ruby" | | 12 |  | Soprano
...
Really well known French rapper. he knew how to move the crowd, but the music sucked | | 13 |  | David Guetta
One Love
The guy is an abomination. How can you even call this electronica. all he did was put his CD, press play, and use the volume button from time to time. Awful, boring, worst gig I've ever seen | |
Strider
07.18.11 | So many things I didn't get to see, like Asaf Avidan, Shaka Ponk and Foals... | DoubtGin
07.19.11 | you used the e-word | Deviant.
07.19.11 | "How can you even call this electronica."
who does? | Strider
07.19.11 | the e-word? | taylormemer
07.19.11 | Guetta's mixes are horrible and are always distorted (the bad kind where it's not used for artistic purposes). | Strider
07.19.11 | all he does is play with the gain knob | Deviant.
07.19.11 | There are 3 things wrong with your statement about Guetta
1) "How can you even call this electronica" - because it's electronic music so yeah......
2) He's a producer not a dj, therefore he's not gonna be mixing live because that's not what he does. He's gonna show up with a pre-planned set and spend his time making sure it all runs smoothly and hyping the crowd up as much as any 40 year old french house artist can
3) You're the one who went to see him, so I'd say you failed more than he did | qwe3
07.19.11 | i actually enjoy guetta live whereas i dont on cd. time and place
and pingers i guess | qwe3
07.19.11 | also haha "How can you even call this electronica" | Deviant.
07.19.11 | If he came to NZ as part of a festival I'd check him out | Strider

1) have to remember I can't hyperbole on Sputnik...
2) he is both producer and DJ. There are live shows were he mixes very well, he chose not to this time...
3) having heard about his live shows being good, of course I was curious to see him, doesn't mean I failed more than he did... | qwe3
07.19.11 | yeah but hyperbole is different saying hes not electronica is just...wrong pretty much.
he's definitely a producer first and a dj second
and yeah fair enough deviant was just being deviant | Strider
07.19.11 | yeah but hyperbole is different saying hes not electronica is just...wrong pretty much."
I tend to see it as more of an exageration, but yeah, I guess I failed there | Deviant.
07.19.11 | 1) what qwe said
2) In order to be a dj he actually has to you know, dj. Playing a pre-recorded set doesn't make you a dj, mixing it live does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HTlcjHYwjo
3) Anyone who has ever heard Guetta should know what they're getting themselves into | Strider
07.19.11 | I know, but there are sets where he really mixes his songs. It was just annoying to see him play the set while doing nothing, especially when the songs aren't good enough | Strider
07.19.11 | I wanted to ask you Dev, do you know mondkopf? | Deviant.
07.19.11 | "I know, but there are sets where he really mixes his songs"
Yes, but what he mixing it live? As in, did he have 2 decks spinning?
And yeah, Mondkopf is okay. His mix of electro and ambient is kinda fucked up though. Not a fan of the new album | Deviant.
07.19.11 | *was he mixing it live? | Strider
07.19.11 | "Yes, but what he mixing it live? As in, did he have 2 decks spinning?

Come to think of it, your probably right there. Not really sure he was really mixing. hard to tell when everything on the screen is so unclear
As for Mondkopf, he's a real treat live, his bass lines were killer. I'll check out his new album. |
