RA: Michael Mayer - Immer, cel mai bun mix al decadei

Conform topului organizat de Resident Advisor, Michael Mayer si compilatia sa Immer, lansata la Kompakt, in anul 2002, se afla pe cea mai inalta pozitie.

Pentru ca au mai trecut 10 ani in muzica, Resident Advisor a simtit ca este cazul sa alcatuiasca un clasament al celor mai bune 50 de mixuri, mai exact compilatii mixate, lansate de artisti in ultimii 10 ani.

Iata descrierea bruta facuta de Michael Mayer pentru propriul material:

"There are battle DJs and there are DJs like Jeff Mills, and it's their principle to create something new out of two records. But I'm not that kind of mixmaster. I think it's a DJ's duty to respect the artist, and I prefer to serve the tracks—instead of putting me on top of them. That comes from me starting to DJ at a very young age, I think. I was playing all sorts of music, I was playing songs. And that's still the way that I do it, one record after the next.



Immer reflects the way that we did the later part of the warm-up at Studio 672 at the Total Confusion parties in Cologne at the time. It consists mostly of records and labels from the bigger Kompakt family, which made it easy to license. But I really like the whole preparation process anyway, it's very different from playing in a club. I always thought mix CDs were a beautiful format to tell a beautiful little story, and to do something that lasts a bit longer than one night. Something that should be forever. Immer."



Nu uitati, Michael Mayer vine din nou in Romania, la Studio Martin, pe 19 martie.
