He's really laid back and modest which is refreshing for most artists of his standard.
@benjaminvoler747210 жыл бұрын
Yes! He is also really focused and thoughtful on how his music should be perceived, especially in view of his edits.

These old ones are so much more creative than what you've been capturing for the last 3 years. It's pretty much always the same stuff every time now, the older ones explored more creative minds and has been a huge influence on our videos. I get it though, the more club-oriented, bigger names, obviously sell tenfold.

Love the randomness. I used to play a lot of his records when i was 'just a dj'. But i always knew he had something different in his productions. U could hear it in his tracks. I honestly cant really remember the exact track but one of his trax is a timeless masterpiece. I would collab with him anyday.

Such a talented guy! He was making tracks at 17/18 years old that Sasha & Timo Maas where playing back in late 90's! His master piece has to be 'The Sky Was Pink'.... still one of the best songs to ever have been created!

The crazy thing about Jeskola buzz is the developer lost the source code in, like, the 90s, but it was so well loved, hackers kept developing by just breaking into the machine code and doing that. Which is like the programmer equivilent of doing microsurgery with a hand drill. So yeah, its probably a bit unstable these days. But what are the alternatives!

You are funny. :) Buzz have been "pretty stable" for many years. Recently (last few years), since the new beta-builds, it's been rock solid. "It's not what you use, it's how you use it...and how well you know it". I guess you just have to try Jeskola Buzz to understand how ingenious and magic it is. No one can tell you. You have to swallow the red pill and go down the rabbit hole.

Self indulgent? So you make music for other people not yourself? I am trying to figure out what you are basing your opinion of him on - I'm thinking it must be because he's using unconventional methods - like maybe he doesnt know any better or something - The end result is all that matters - how you get there does not not! I have to say James Holdens music speaks for itself - its consistently good.
