which isn't to say i'm not a fan, but his shit is way too clean these days. and by clean i just don't mean well separated mixes (though that plays into it) but it's also so stuck in a clear grid. there' little off swing which for me is what gave his shit that touch that made it work. shit's hard still but it's not grimey. i've accepted it and don't expect him to go back but it needs to be said.
written after listening to that new rtj fools is slobbering over.
