I think we're spoiled with Deviation because we get so much new and innovative material that when you go to their nights you have such a high standard of expectations! I liked his energy though and without him the crowd would have surely burned out times 2 for Madlib. But to be fair to Madlib he was previewing new material which is never going to get the crowd jumping because nobody has heard it before and don't know the grooves! I was very impressed with what I heard and can't wait til it all comes out - a great electronic sounding musical progression from him, sounded like great club music. It's hard to say whether he was being arrogant or whether his energy was just off, my guess is the latter having seen him before. Would have appreciated an apology about the no show the week before tho!

From the place packed to the walls - to being able to walk easily to the front of stage towards the middle of his gig showed that alot of peeps were not feeling his set! I thought J Rocc killed it and saved the night for most! Madlib at first took me a while to appreciate what he was all about in the night. I should have expected that type of thing from the beat konducta. Something similar to what Doom has been doing live in the states? After seeing these pics with the CDs on the decks I'm still trying to figure out what happened but a great experience nonetheless. Looking forward to the new Madvillain for sure.

Can't put it better. I am a big fan of Madlib. I'm really in awe of his musical genius and output; but I think it was just disrespectful for him to be on stage in that state. Flashes of brilliance though. J. Rocc's cut up of 'Mass Appeal' was worth the price of admission alone. Ahhh.... he makes it look so easy! Thanks for a great Deviation special (Tuesday night... ah you're making me pay!) Looking forward to the next one! Thomas - my thoughts exactly. Can’t put it better.

He seemed completely stoned and out of it. The one moment where the manager had to get him back on stage was ridiculous, letting people scream and beg for every other track. It didn't seem really back to back to me, but rather J.Rocc trying to save Madlib from doing whatever. I have been to lots of deviation nights and they were all great, but the young and hungry producers who normally play there, seem to have less of an attitude and just come down to rock.
