Personally, I think the MK "boom" only really came about last summer because of the amount of mainstream posers with faded haircuts and facial hair, snapbacks, full sleeve tattoos, short shorts, low neck baggy vests and 'Roshe' trainers were keen to clock on to his sets because they'd heard stuff like "My Head is a Jungle" and "Look Right Through" on Radio One and thought that generated "real house music."
For what it's worth, I've been an MK fan for years. And I doubt any of these "fans" have heard of stuff like "Burning" that he did years ago. But Pacha being Pacha, and clearly intent on following current "in trends", I'm not sure if they'll build a night around him as a resident DJ if his UK-based activity dips down a little this year, particularly in the mainstream.
Wouldn't surprise me to see them nab someone like Axwell^Ingrosso from Ushuaia but the amount of money that "Departures" is raking in for them, I can't see them moving it.
Hopefully I'm wrong. An MK-residency night at Pacha would be great, even if some of his cross fades and mixes were rather jumpy to say the least during his sets there last year. He's a producer first and foremost, not a live DJ. And he'd even admit to that himself.
True about the crowd he attracts but don't slag roshes haha I own a pair and can confirm I'm definitely don't wear/have the other stuff you've described... It's huaraches that are the trainer of choice for these people!
