Gemini

Great producer, You never knew what you got buying a Gemini 12". He took chances with his music, quite innovative sounds and next-level drum-programming. By the early standards, his music can sound a little weird or off-base, but today, it makes more sense in strong contrast to modern productions. Now you could see that Spencer took some u-turns with his productions. It was completely different from most music out there. And it is great to see his stuff gets recognitions.
But i am going to talk about the Deejay Spencer Kincy. See, i discovered his sets way late. I thought i heard all the DJ greats but once i started listening to his sets.. fookin´ell.
From the sets i heard online, he was totally on fire in the mid 90´s to his sudden disappearance in the early 2000. I hold him in high regards as other legend DJ´s like Ron Hardy, Terrence Parker, Derrick May and Theo Parrish. In fact i could almost put him at the forefront of these guys.. Just way ahead of blending different genres together. His style of mixing are inspired some of Collier´s school of playing records. Fast cutting and high paced house, and such a master putting tracks together. Even commercial tracks. If you did not like a commercial track to begin with, Spencer could mix that record and program you to like it flat out.
People dont play house like that anymore.. take chances, puts the fun into it.. Most deejays these days just safeguard themselves too much.

To me, Spencer Kincy was a deejay's of deejays, and one of those jocks that put some fucking work in it for their money. Today, listening to his old sets makes everything else shit! All those Festival DJ´s putting together bland techno mixes. Nah man, forget it. Spencer was the Zen of the turntables. There are plenty mixes left around to testify to his brilliant craft. Go out, seek, listen to Spencer and understand what spinning records is about..
Sad what happened to him tho´ .. Hope he really can come back to reality at least. He deserves all praise for his legendary contrinution to music, both in the studio and in the clubs.

One of the best. And I´ve been in this "game" for almost 20 years. Still when hearing his sets from the mid/late 90s, no one else reaches quite that high - being it Craig, Mills, Hood, Sven, Sneak, Carter. He´s just one (or two) steps beyond their reach.

A genius, no other word.
