[Dynagroove] DJ Harvey..? SF sat nite?

[ed rosenthal]

Harvey has always been one of my favorites. He is the most expressive DJ 
i've ever seen in regard to using volume and EQ's, his track selection is 
ecclectic as can be, yet always deserving of the trainspotters that don't 
move for 3 hours while he plays, especially when it is a track he produced 
(he's off the hook for production); the last couple times I've seen him or 
heard reviews of his recent performances,however, he definetely doesn't seem 
up to par (except for Little Chris's birthday party a month or so ago). Part 
of what sets Harvey apart is that he really doesn't give a f*&k about what 
people want to hear--he does, and always has done his own thing, mixing 
highly sought after disco-reedits with the meanest of London Warehouse 
beats. I guess there comes a point at which being too far in left field 
makes it impossible for one to play ball. He is loved and regarded as a 
legend even by those of the WIcked Crew, and it is curious that he is not 
meeting the standards of dancefloor and disco madness that he is renoun for. 
Does anyone else have any opinions on the matter, as mine is limited in 
scope, and I am interested in hearing alternative views.....
