If Mateo and Matos come to your town,
*check them out*! They came through
LA yesterday and rocked it. I had passed
up a lot of their stuff before because
it seemed to be a little simplistic
and not particularly outstanding, but
worked into the context of a dj set it
all made perfect sense. The builds and
peaks were intense and moving.
Andrea Parker played some cool stuff
("Away from all of this" by As One!) but
was unremarkable. It was funny watching
all the fanboys slobber over her. The
Wax crew, while they may have popular
records on labels like Subliminal, really
show themselves to be flat and simple when
set next to djs on the caliber of Mateo
and Matos.
Jazzanova are next at the Fais Do Do Ballroom,
a really nice space, except for the awkwardly
placed bar. There was also some type of leak
right above the dj booth, it was comical watching
them hold the 1200 cover above the dj while water
dripped down. Jazzanova will be in LA on Saturday,
November 13 at the same space.
