Omar S ONLY plays his own tracks when he makes a dj set.
I read this in an interview long time ago. One of the best confirmations, bring us Moodyman too please.

Apart from the 3 mixes he released on FXHE I guess...

I like the interviews Omar S has done - he's quite an opinionated character - which makes them amusing reads.

What people don’t understand, alot of the shit I do is DJ tools. You get some of those stupid ass motherfuckers probably from the suburbs or some shit like that who don’t even know what the fuck he’s talking about, been listening to dance music for like 6 months and shit, ain’t been listening to since back in the 80’s like me, know what I’m saying. You know how those motherfuckers is. Alot of tracks back in the 80’s, like the shit I’m listening to now (turns up car stereo bumping tracky drum machine track), you had to make shit out of it, you could ride shit, you could have one record ridin’ for like 5 minutes and people won’t even fucking know it. Like Oasis 14 is really a DJ tool. But you know what I’m sayin’, you got people like “Is that all the record do?”. Yeah bitch, that’s all the record do. Yep your lazy ass needs to do some other shit with it.

I saw Omar S dj in New York over the summer, at Sunday Best in the Brooklyn Yard, very good set.

I can´t wait any more, hope to see more electro and italo, and some ghetto/booty if is possible.

I'm still hoping for that 7 hour Villalobos set on the Sunday, like Mutek last year.

On a more serious note (I am half-joking with the Villalobos thing!), any chance you would be able to squeeze Deadboy onto the bill? His FACT mix has been on constant repeat since I downloaded it, most of it are his own tunes or remixes. I think he would be a good act to have in the bar. I missed Martyn's set last year due to long queue to get in and general fatigue at a late/early hour. Deadboys own tunes are garage-influenced alright, and I know thats not Bloc's scene, but I think there's a lot in there in the sounds that stretch beyond standard 2-step (which I like anyway, but thats another day's debate...)

That better turn out to be true; you can't just toy with our musical emotions like that!

Blotniks // Diplomat // Boris Divider // Illektrolab would help to make a happier electro fan :) We are definitely the under-represented so far this year!

Some more body-poppin' would be top notch. Jackal & Hyde or Blotnik Bros would be great additions to the electro lineup. Or on a less dancey tip, Arpanet would also be wicked. The first two Blocs were very good with respect to this! :mrgreen:
