yh hello and that. caught roska in leeds and his set was pretty much how it's been described here. struggled with relatively shoddy sound and a shocking mc, but mixing still dubious, and tunes of his that he dropped were the released ones plus a bit of rat alert/wile out-ish student fayre. was really hoping for a bit of an eye-opener broken/house wise - thought afterwards he might have been playing up to the student audience in terms of selection, but give the above maybe not. be interested to hear what he comes with for sonar....

Both excellent tunes and popular with a lot of people other than students. Sorry to get on the defensive but it's true.
Welcome to the board though, don't let me moaning put you off.

^^ Anyway..
- I like Ghetts generally, and his Moonwalk Ting bit is ok, but I feel like the Thriller refix deserves a better vocal than that. Hopefully someone else comes along and does a new version of it at some point.
On the other hand, the Broken Wings vocal over Theme From Slackk sounds excellent, and I'm not just saying this 'cause Slackk is one of Dissensus local-heroes (thoug obv it's nice to see someone you know doing well and achieving things). I totally agree with Dan about Badness fitting the beat well and having a real way with hooks. So big congrats for getting him and the other MCs to do it and for having Spyro play it on radio already.

he has basically said he sees himself creating a bridge with dubstep audiences etc., providing a showcase rather than preaching to the converted. given the kind of music he makes and the kind of bookings he always gets, it makes sense as well.
i'm not sure he deserves too much criticism for failing to be something he's not. in my experience hardcore funky fans are not particularly interested in him as a dj. i think he's great producer incidentally... but maybe a bit more as if in his own sphere.
if you want something else you'd have to go see another dj... i appreciate it might be easier said than done in leeds but don't the likes of marcus get about quite a lot?
i need love is a beauty. but i think energy, time stamp and squark (though maybe not for the anti-student crowd
) are all really good as well.

he absolutely is a great producer, and in his own sphere, no questions - for me personally tho producers playing out works by and large on the basis of dubplates. to be fair i could check for a whole load of non-producing, anyman DJs into dubstep/funky/wotdoyouwhatever that would have played the same set with broadly the same mixing ability, just without being roska...
time stamp and squark are both tunes mind, and some students are allright you know...

Marcus Nasty was in Leeds just last week. I only caught about half his set as I was knackered but it sounded alright. He played some rubish in with the gems though, stuff like Pon Di Floor...

going on that logic, you are saying because the 'anymandj' isnt called roska, he going to play a top ten released funky tunes set.
no not at all. in fact this is exactly what i meant:

Was a wicked night that wunnit Damo?
Quite a few obvious selections but its not often I get the chance to hear something like In the Morning getting blasted through a decent system on a busy dancefloor. In fact I would have been a bit disappointed if he hadn't played lots of the big tunes.

Anyone know what the second Rnb-ish tune is on this set? I've heard it getting played quite a bit by them and I love it. I think the chorus goes something like 'Its just the way you move/ that I really think that I could be your man' with the funky/squelchy bassline following the melody.

If anyone hasn't dowloaded the DJ Champion promo mix yet then you're clearly mad in the head. For those looking for grime-tinged bits there are quite a few goodies here. There's this proper mad one about 11 tracks in which is like some cold, grimey female vocal tune. Desperate for an ID on it but suspect I'll be waiting a while.
