Grimes Coachella DJ Set Appreciation Thread

Along_the_Wire

hugopal I have tunes with 175bpm in my library and they sit there as that and I haven’t touched the setting. Anyway, it’s possible that it was changed - she kept talking about how shit she was at math, but fuck me, dividing numbers by 2 is only just beyond my mentally disabled brother.

That’s no way to talk about our Ed, Granto - he’s just a bit slow is all.

But if she had been trying initially to not just play the track at say it’s original 160 tempo, but rather to match it to an outgoing track’s tempo then it may have been a tad more tricky. That could be why at the end she gave up trying to blend at all and just played the tracks one after the other. Again just speculating.

Are Grant and Hugo riffing???

Mad_Cyril it appears we are with neither protagonist being a cunt. Scones.

The eye of the storm!!

mono-stereo

nicksneddon Exactly. No one seemed to mind most of the old Prog DJ’s using pro tools to stich a mix CD together.

mono-stereo We were too fucked back then.

rhouses

While I appreciate that I can still beat match and mix, I do feel a bit ‘who the fuck cares’ more often than not.

Believe it was DJ Harvey who instilled this a couple years back.

rhouses

That being said, every time zackster puts one of his bedroom DJ reels up on Instagram, my only instinct is to think ‘can this fucker mix or not’.

zackster She’s a borderline r-word with only one good song. She can fuck right off.

Lol.. such an open mind you have. You’re green with envy obviously Zacky

hugopal

zackster She’s a borderline r-word

Clearly not.

zackster with only one good song

This is way off. Which one could you even pick as her supposed only good one?!

zackster

hugopal genesis

zackster genesis

That is one of my favourites of hers; fair play that you at least plumped for that over Oblivion which I do also like but didn’t listen to as much.

But have you even heard some of her other, darker old stuff? eg:

and:

Aside from Genesis this was also my favourite of her more poppy big singles:

zackster

hugopal realiti is a good enough song.

zackster

This makes perfect sense to me

hugopal

zackster This makes perfect sense to me

Yeah that’s in line with what I had been saying above.

Along_the_Wire

zackster still her own stupid fault though

rhouses

Maybe I’m softening up, but I absolutely loved this. And the woman seems to know what she’s doing with all her gear.

And this was good fun too.

Call me crazy, but I’d much rather have these production skills and this ability for live performances, than being a pro at beating matching two tunes together (and then being judged by a bunch of no marks).

still that coachella set is indeed horrific scenes.

benson

I was going to listen to her music and then rhouses said he likes it. I now know I need not bother.

If you are playing to 50k people and outsourcing the basics you deserve everything you get.

Think of it as a case whereby a broken clock is still correct twice a day.

Start with the below, then check out the three tracks in my post above.

If you bother doing any further research you can readily ignore anything she’s made post-2015.

rhouses

benson lol

rhouses

hugopal play visions end to end and you’re good imo.
