DJ L – Moar Fiyah

August 7, 20193 min read


• Big room structure, heavily influenced by Quintino
• Run-of-the-mill Reggaeish vocal
• Debatable technical and musical quality


Today one of you guys suggested me to check out “Moar Fiyah”, the brand new DJ L… début?

Almost a year ago, this specific Chinese DJ became notoriously “famous” when he suddenly gained the 84th spot in the infamous DJ Mag poll, after his vague entry on 98th spot in 2017. Since then, he has constantly been a centre of criticism in the community, including us, because these so-called “transparent” votes were obviously bought. Without losing time with the mundane complaints about the dubious structure of the “celebrated” poll, and how there is probably his resident club behind these counterfeit votes (thanks to extensive local marketing), we can all agree that he’s a DJ, not a producer. L didn’t release anything in recent years, except for a generic big room collaboration with AvAlanche & Flash Finger in 2017. As expected, the duo’s style had more say in it. One can only speculate the reasons why DJ L was even mentioned in it.

Anyway, I was curious to see his new song, which has been revealed on Peak Hour Recordings. Firstly, I thought that after the hate he received, he would at least change his alias, providing me with some confidence to hear his entrée on a “real” label. Side note: I actually like Peak Hour (and its awesome artworks), but lately they are after the “quantity over quality” trend, releasing tons of unwanted material.

Surprise surprise, “Moar Fiyah” recedes into that group, without requiring further explanations.

The usual reggaeish vocal, messy buildup section, and a drop that brings a pale experimental approach with the percussions: the instrumental ends up with a somewhat hilarious and amateurish personality. Quintino-style structure, at a glance.

Being honest, I’ve heard worst tracks. At least DJ L, or whoever has sold “Moar Fiyah” to him, tried being creative with the percussions, and it somehow gets my appreciation. However, the tune shies away from delivering an energetic feeling, and rather results in confusing and disordered schematics, especially before the drop. To say the least, it’s extremely and embarrassingly insipid and prosaic.

In conclusion, this “production” is actually an alleged creation of the 84th producer in the world, who shares the coveted position between the reputed names of NGHTMRE and Wildstylez. After this, all I can say is that the L simply stands for a colossal “LOL” here.

    I love PeakHour Music but they should be ashamed of this.
