That was in 2001. Trance DJ’s have been closing out sunrise sets with songs like that for going on 20 years now. I appreciate that he’s a good DJ, but let’s not get crazy here :). Lots of DJ’s played that track to close their sets. It was a top seller on beatport and an obvious thing to do.
- jdietrich 9y agoLike all good DJing, it's 100% context. The Four Tet remix of Opus is interesting not because it's a deep house tune, but because of how it recontextualises the original mix. Maceo Plex's decision to play it isn't particularly inspired in isolation, but is an act of genius at that moment in that set in that club on that night.
