Introducing the devil's advocate...Dave Clarke

Advantages: --
Disadvantages: ---

...here is his album "The Devil's Advocate", released in 2003 and still one of my favourite albums to date. "Way of Life" kicks the album off; the big authrotive beat from the word go means it's going to be a pumping song. It would be classed as techno but with Dave it's never the simple, there are hints of genres creeping in. The vocals on the track are fantastic; not singing, more like a rap. The lyrics are infectious and go with the tune perfectly; ...
...it oh so well. "Hey freaks in the club, here's your chance to dance, lets go lets go." The song lasts about six minutes but that is around average for a dance track. It's a fantastic track with big drum rolls at the end to round it all off. This song has a really strong message to it. Dave Clarke called it "a message of intent". He made this big, blasting, monster tune to vent all his anger at people trying to copy his style and doing rip-offs of ...

Review of Devil's Advocate - Dave Clarke

Come on dave

Advantages: Im in one of the rooms when the were filming part of it!
Disadvantages: Dour festival is quite fuzzy and distortion is used to much!

What can I say this baby "BLOWS ME AWAY" I first went to see the legend himself at creamfields in 2003 at the age of 16 I hadn't really heard much about him and what I did hear didn't impress me, but now I have changed my ways and have seen the light and how blinding it is! Daves shows truly are something else as the DVD shows just how good he is, the two sets on the DVD just look like daves normal shows and to be hounest iv seen him do better but ...
...you fired up and looking on the internet for were he's playing next! The King of Techno delivers time and again with this and with added videos of what was her name and wife of life (the best tune around!) its a bargain and not the sort of thing you can just catch on MTV! The DVD also has a mad short of Dave and his crew on tour and gives a small insight into the effort that goes into his shows, the DVD also shows his crew setting up Daves immense ...

Review of Live (+DVD) - Dave Clarke

Sounds like an Africa Bambatta mix tape!

Advantages: Badassss electro
Disadvantages: Might hurt yourself bodypoppin

...dust!If you like Dave Clarke's electro CD on World Service,then you will love this.Contrary to what people insist on telling me,technically,Dave Clarke is not the best dj.But its the songs he chooses and finds which make him one of the best.I've seen him live four times and he didn't play an electro set,just techno,but he was still brill.Only real big names on this are Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince but that's not important cause it's superb.Ive ...

Review of Electro Boogie Vol.2 (The Throwdown/Mixed By Dave Clarke) - Various Artists

Dave Clarke's World Service - Outstanding!!

Advantages: Lovely variation of styels of music (mainly electro and techno)
Disadvantages: I honelstly can't think of any - one of my favourite CD's!

Dave Clarke's World Service - Outstanding!! I am a huge fan of techno and electro - this album in my opinion contains the some of the best of both genres rolled into 1 album. I will give you the lowdown on both discs: Disc 1: Techno mix Typical pounding set from the man himself Dave Clarke. Starts off with some lovely melodic techno tracks such as 'Force' by Technasia and Midfield Generals 'Coatnoise' (Dave Clarke Remix). The tchno mix soon progresses ...
...Umek. This disc is packed with tracks typical of Dave Clarke's style of mixing - playing the best part of tracks to get as many tunes in as possible. Disc 2: Electro mix Completely different vibe from the Techno mix but better in my opinion. The name says it all - it is Electro in its purest form, a lot more down beat than the techno mix but far more melodic with a very 80's feel to it. Very varied also - from the dark robotic noises of Anthony ...

Review of World Service Vol.1 (Mixed By Dave Clarke) - Dave Clarke

Slightly disappointed but still good

Advantages: some golden oldies
Disadvantages: alot of the tunes you will have on the older gatecrasher cds

When I saw this product advertised on the television I was so excited because I have all the gatecrasher albumns and I just loved the idea of a best of gatecrasher albumn but then you get the the idea of, is it worth buying it cos you will have most thesongs alreadyalbeit on 10 different albumns. So there is the first good point of this albumn, all the classics on one albumn that you can stick on, on a saturday night and dance away till your hearts ...
...tunes and some not so good tunes so like me I was tempted just to buy it off itunes and download the tunes I liked but at 99p each I found I like more than £9.99 worth of tunes so I bought the albumn. Theres some old time favourites and some current classics with some great remixes and with 3 cds you really do get your moneys worth. Its a mixture of house and dance and a little bit of trance thrown in. You can dance to this music and it really would ...
