Why most people on this forum don't like TIDY!

Those were the first tunes I ever mixed ... round at Jamesy's house

I just dont dig the whole Tidy vibe .... And quite simply its just not my sound!

I have nothing against Tidy. It's not really MY sound anymore.

However, Karim is a different story!

i feel its like a local label for local people

and true if they wernt about mixmag wouldnt give a fuck about hardhouse

Same here mate.

I only have one tidy track....it was in a mystery bag and I dont go to the board as I prefer BT

Cos Tidy suck!

Tidy arent too bad..

Music wise they are too 'bigroom' for me, but thats me!

i cant trust the label TBO.. some releases are very average and lack any actual feeling or energy... short circuit, RAW, Kaktai.. these labels dont release everything that goes through the studio... only the tracks they feel will make it, and they are doing fucking well!

tidy seem to release just about anything... shame! waste of black plastic and studio equipment

I am going to add Tripoli to that list now that MJ is running the show. Ever since he took over, Tripoli has been one of my favorities again

Michael Jordan nah, Marc Johnson

 never heard this news! good work michael

I think a lot has to do with defining of styles. Allow me to explain ... In the past there used to be 'HardHouse' which included nastier tracks as well as trancier or funkier tracks .. Now there's a lot more definition to genre/style names and some are more popular than others. Most of us that congregate here prefer the nastier edge (NRG) hence the general dislike in Tidy's more uplifting vibes (Which answers your original question MOSSY).

It doesn't make it bad, although it has to be said they've releases some right shit. But then, so has every big label. As it stands at the moment, I think you'll see less people make derogative comments towards Tidy than in the past because they've been releasing better material of late, but there's still a great number of people that believe Tidy is a money grabbing organisation. As Cat says, Tidy keeps on putting money back into the scene though .. and it helps keeping the entire scene afloat to some extent, which is good regardless of your personal opinion on their music or motives.

Colin Barratt and Ingo have done some really good stuff on the tidy label recently. Producers like these are doing their bit to move the music forward. I wouldnt not buy their releases simply because there on tidy. If they are releasing good music then well done to them. I personally havent got a problem with them.

But then again.... your not gonna define yourself as a dj by playing the latest tidy release
