MelodyIlliterate Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 they only said that the won't be touring together any more...does that mean they will still be using the SHM name for producing? Quote
LabRat Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Looks like DJ sneak finally got to them. That guy seems like a dick lol Quote
AlexJ Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Well they are 3 big names on their own. Probs just some 'who is more famous' internal conflict bs going on. Stupid Sneak.. Quote
russell Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Sneak's a fuckin legend. Shits all over these cants.Loving this comment under this articlehttp://www.inthemix.com.au/news/aust/53 ... d_we_lovedspecial ed said at lunchtime only took 4 years to work out it doesn't take 3 people to press 'play'Hopefully axwell starts making decent shit again.

LabRat Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 It took 4 years but they made a fuck load of money. Quote

GREMM1S Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Lol sneak is a moron, spent the year hating on others rather than achieving anything.Genre and types of music is all subjective, SHM however are far more successful than sneak could ever dream of.When i watched sneak at stereo he was very averaging at mixing so im not sure why he's attacking others.

Addi Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I didnt mind their productions, they made some pretty good stuff together. Quote
GREMM1S Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 That said production wise axwell > shm, im hoping we will see more from axwell now im sure he was the main driving force production wise for shm anway. Quote

I agree he went on a bit too much about SHM but his initial point was valid. Sneak was DJ'n and putting out tunes a good decade before these whales. He's a total legendary DJ in the house scene and to still be doing it to this day is obviously pretty damn successful. Being non-commercial doesn't mean the same as being un-successful. The whale also mixes off of three decks. no hassles. Read a quote the other day when one of SHM was comparing them to the beatles and it said something to the effect of there's 6 hands ad 4 CDJ's when they 'perform'. WOW. 4 CDJ's between 3 people. They must be so skilled..... Compare to that to a real DJ collective like X-Press 2 who are made up of 3 people. They DJ with 6 decks and 3 mixers. Makes sense for 3 DJ's. Quote
GREMM1S Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 The point was valid but when you continuously attack another artist for so long it just makes you look bitter and attention seeking which i really feel after awhile that's all it was, a true legend as you call him wouldnt even feel the need to take it to the headlines ignore them they arent in his scene so why bother?Well look i dont listen to the stuff he plays so cant comment on his productions but i do follow all genres on the release sites and what have and just dont see him releasing a whole lot or touring like SHM did.I call rubbish on his mixing sorry, maybe he had a bad day but his set was nothing special and sloppy in parts. (i am talking mixing not musically).Yeah i agree they could definitely do more when they dj but apart from axwell they arent great mixers so i doubt there is too much more they could do without getting in each others way.

mattus123 Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 cant say im too upset about them breaking upi preffered the stuff they produced individually Quote

Gandy Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 was not a fan of their live sets, but man they produced a few anthems, i remember when "One" first dropped i couldnt get enough of it, leave the world behind and antidote were awesome as well Quote
andyman Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Have you seen them live?I caught them earlier this year and they were pretty decent... Quote

Gandy Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Have you seen them live?I caught them earlier this year and they were pretty decent...Yeah they were ok, wasn't a fan of there set being pre recorded they were transitioning between songs while no one was behind the decks Quote
GREMM1S Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Apparently it was about 3/4 live with a few 10 min medleys premixed.Technically its nothing amazing but for their status and type if music its everything you want big track mixed well with a killer visual show to match Quote
mattus123 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 they should jsut get a lightingDJ (i ithnk thats what they're called) to do the lights live to match the music, then there would be no need for pre recorded mixes Quote

I don't what you mean by type of music? It wouldn't be hard for them to run an ableton set-up using some samplers and outboard gear. These whales are just making money off the mass market who are too dumb/ignorant to give a shit that they're forking out to watch 3 guys play a few mixed CD's. that's fuckin criminal. Quote

These whales are just making money off the mass market who are too dumb/ignorant to give a shit that they're forking out to watch 3 guys play a few mixed CD's. that's fuckin criminal.Like they arent playing dnb or hip hop where turntablism and the technical side of mixing would be suitable or appreciated by the audience.I 100% don't agree with anything premixed other than bootlegs or samples, that said too many artists claim to be doing 'live shows' when all they are doing is starting auto synced clips on ableton anyway.Like in deadmau5's recent article it is hard to draw the line between producers and djs, people go to their shows to hear their big songs and other new/crazy songs they would expect to hear.If i were to choose between SHM and sneak performing, SHM's would be more interesting (again genre aside) as even if its premixed i would rather see that than average mixing.But yeah still against premixed but i feel big acts like shm are more about the whole show and not just the technical mixing.

russell Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 What is the whole show though? some lights and pyrotechnics? There is no show with 3 guys just standing about. If they are meant to be DJ'ing then should be doing it properly. If they are meant to be playing live then they should do that properly too. I can't see how anyone can be interested in watching a few guys doing next to nothing. I'd much rather hear a few mixes going astray and being corrected than listen to a premixed cd. I can do that in the house and at least I know the DJ is actually doing something.And again... Sneak can mix no bother. seen him plenty of times. Quote
