[richchibuku]

how fuckign good is his fabric mix...

[phattannedphil]

Book him... played 051 years ago and Cream... keep the tradtion going!!!

[philcharnock]

I've danced on many a podium to his propa garage. But he aint what he used to be nowadays... :cry:

Hang on, Tony Humphries in the 051! Imagine that today!

[SteMc]

Would love to see Tony Humphries...that fabric mix is just perfect to listen to after a mad night out :) 8)

I beg to differ Mr C, he is still one of the best D.J.'s on the planet. But he is not happy unless playing more than 3 hours where he can do his thang. Knuckles and Sanchez played the 051 complex back in da day too wasnt it Rob Jay's night?

[flintmassive]

I seen Mr Humphries play in the 051 on a Wednesday or Thursday night, probably about 12 yrs ago and he really was the bees knees.!!!!! Great night

He must be crackin on a wee bit now though. Would deffo be in attendance if booked

[richchibuku]

hes also halariously expensive.

[nikyT]

I bet, mind im not so familiar with him, bloody youngsters :lol:

[absolutemoron]

hes also halariously expensive.

I would love to see him but I can't see him pulling the crowds like a Felix or an Erol... what a shame.

[richchibuku]

i dream of winning the lottery and putting him on.


he wants 2 x business class seats + uber wedge.

[thuzm]

everytime someone posts "which DJs would you like to see" hes always at the top.

his fabric mix was well refreshing, different from all the other house compilations I had got, also managed to get hold of some other older more soulful mixes which sound excellent!

agree that he wouldnt pull as big a crowd as some other tho..

[the quoon]

the kids wouldn't have a fucking clue who he is

[azzerellis]

Thats one for each arse cheek. Cant quote twice so...

[azzerellis]

the kids wouldn't have a fucking clue who he is
But they would hear what real mixing is and how one of the few people in the world who you can properly call a D.J. do it.

[Elvis the Hero]

but then they would moan because he didn't finish with a cheesily ironic 80's rock track :roll:

[richchibuku]

fuck it. Lets book the fucker.

assuming they turned up

[Random1]

I wouldn't exactly call myself a kid, but I don't know who he is...but he sounds pretty good and Fabric are generally good mixes, so I think I shall expand my musical knowledge and purhcase said CD :)

[thuzm]

**** it. Lets book the fucker.

:shock: :lol: :lol:

[Biscanaldo]

Book him!

Im presuming both the plane seats are for him. He's fu*cking enormous.

[phattannedphil]

**** it. Lets book the fucker.

Thats the spirit, great memory of him dropping JD "Plastic Dreams2 at 6am at Full On many years back... Never forget that intro!!!

[BillAlcatraz]

[quote=the quoon]the kids wouldn't have a fucking clue who he is

im 18 and i know who he is

[the quoon]

congratulations.

[Jonny Clangers]

Awesome DJ.

Get it seen too.

[soulizm]

Hit and Miss IMO...

First heard him twice at his shortlived Nuttz residency in NYC in about 2001... this was a club size of the Lemon Lounge and he was pretty good, although it was the crowd that made it.... a great little mix of old-school Garage heads, chilled B-boys, and funky bohemian club kidz

Then heard him in Sheffield a few years back and he was truly WACK!! Think Frankie Knuckles at Chibuku...

The last time i heard him was at Fabric in summer 2003 and he was dope!!!! Had me singing like a bitch to Sounds of Blackness - Optimistic at about 5am off my tits... great night, even with the Fabric crowd!!!!

I say book him... but be prepared that he might dissappoint!!! The problem with some of these big US djs is that they assume when they play in the North of England that they have to dumb down their sound so they end up sounding like the latest deffected mix-cd... when what all of us really want is the real deal, with lots of classics etc thrown in, surely?

[modders]

**** it. Lets book the fucker.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

YES!!



The fabric mix is lovely to listen to an all.

[absolutemoron]

**** it. Lets book the fucker.

Good attitude Rich! :D

[Goo]

Saw him in Thompson's in Belfast at wan of the Endlessmusic.org gigs on a Sunday night a few months back . . . and he was top notch . . . as to be expected! Well worth booking.

[muz-za]

Would be a great booking. Fascinating to watch too. He gets this real angry face on till his mix is ready to bring in, then he looks suddenly satisfied.

I disagree that he would just play a Defected mix cd type set. He's his own man, and I don't think he'd assume we'd want that.

Like so many 'house legends' though, it won't necessarily be value for money for both a punter's and promoter's pocket. In my experience, there's a notable exception to this: Kerri Chandler. He'll never dissapoint and would be a lot cheaper :wink:

[ukcoolat]

amazing fabric mix.

amazing DJ.

I saw him in 1999. Would love to see him in action again. Absolute legend.

Oh and BillAlcatraz: Have a medal.

[absolutemoron]

Yeah get Kerri too. :twisted:

[Goo]

Jesper Dahlback would be an amazing DJ in this vein to get to play at Chibuku. He of Svek fame is just sharp as f**k . . . I've rediscovered his mix (from a few years back) on betalounge.com and it's blown me away, AGAIN! :D
It's easily every bit as good today as it was then . . . that real sleek, deep, techy Scandanavian house sound is sublime, playing after either of the two Phil's this guy would be certain to push the Chibuku dancefloor once more . . . seriously, I can't recommend this guy enough . . . go to betalounge.com, past shows and type 'Jesper Dahlback' in the search box, listen and enjoy . . . trust me, you will! :wink:

[absolutemoron]

Whilst we're on about Scandi-house - how about Jori Hulkonnen?

I think his (ex?) production partner Tiga would be a good choice too - would certainly pull a crowd and has kept it relatively real IMO.

[ukcoolat]

wtf has Dahlbeck, Hulkonnen and Tiga got to do with the deepness, fluidity and soul of Tony Humphries? please?

[absolutemoron]

Not a lot directly with Humphries admittedly - however Hulkonnen and Jesper Dahlback have done some awesome deep tracks.

[Goo]

ukcoolat,
You obviouisly haven't listened to many of the Svek label's productions, have you? :!: :?:
Deepness and fluidity in abundance . . .

[Biscanaldo]

Hulkonnen would be brilliant.

[soulizm]

Yeah i thought this odd:

Jesper Dahlback would be an amazing DJ in this vein to get to play at Chibuku

Nothing wrong whatsoever with Jesper Dahlback (i'd quite like to hear him play) but i dont see what the hell he has to do with Frankie Knuckles!!! Certainly not in the same vein as Knuckles!

I'd disagree however that those guys mentioned dont have deepness, fluidity and soul, its just a completely different style of house to what the big man usually plays!!! and i'll add that i find some of the stuff he plays himself pretty soul-less - a vocal does not equal soul, and ive heard some mixes where he plays some pretty trashy 'soulful house'!!!

mate i was only invalidating his comment
i hate the fact people make sweeping generalisations that young people listen to crap music.
why be so sarcastic?

[soulizm]

soulizm.

Can I warm up for Frankie Knuckles please?

[soulizm]

I mean Tony Humphries

[soulizm]

shouldn't go near a msg board once started drinking! time to go out methinks! (p.s. i'd rather warm up for humphries than knuckles - whilst the latter played a huge role in house music for which he should be respected i think he's a bit of a tit! The hump on the other hand is a cool bas.tard!!)

[richchibuku]

Frankie is a very sweet and humble guy. Dont know how you can sya hes a tit. Ive never had the pleasure of tha hump so i cant comment,.
