How do you pronounce 'Dapayk' ???
Always behind the times as I am, I only just discovered, about a month ago, and recently purchased Decade one by Dapayk Solo. I also picked up Black Beauty by Dapayk and Padberg. I like it, but I'm definitely not feeling it as much as Decade One.
Decade One is a killer album, and I think the stand out track for me is probably Back To Me. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh70ZeDjFkc )
(my 9 month old son, Simon, absolutely loves this track and video. It's pretty awesome, no matter what he is doing or what kind of mood he is in, when I play this video he will stop what he's doing and just sit and watch in absolute fascination until the video is over - it's pretty cool)
I sometimes run into a problem in that the occasional person will ask me, hey - what's that your listening to.... and I have absolutely no idea how to answer because I can't pronounce the name. I've got some older singles by Dapayk but I've never been in a position where I had to actually pronounce the name...
So, how do you pronounce it? Usually I just do something like daah-py then I make a sound like I'm clearing phlegm out of my throat, "kkkkkhhhkkhh" - while trying to look serious.
Really though, I'd love to know the proper pronunciation.
Anyway, really hope all is well with all of you Ableton forum cats both old and new. The last 9 months have been a roller coaster since the baby was born and there's been not much time for anything else.

From page 796 of the "Urban Survival Guide", under the chapter "Life-saving phonetics":
Dapayk [d'uh-PA-eek]. Or [d?'PA'IK]
Man, I remember getting in deep trouble once, for putting stress on the first syllable in ROXETTE.

It seems to me like someone saying "Deepak" in a deep-south accent.
That track though man - damn it's smooth. It's so smooth that I nearly slid off my chair.

I'm guessing you know that I meant the deep south of the USA but thanks to you I am now unable to stop hearing someone saying "Deepak" in a Bristol accent.

Re: How do you pronounce 'Dapayk' ???
As is evidenced by this thread, clearly the name is to complicated and controversial. I'd suggest that the dude simply change is name to something less conspicuous and easy to pronounce.....perhaps "Ron". Or "Cecil".smutek wrote:Always behind the times as I am, I only just discovered, about a month ago, and recently purchased Decade one by Dapayk Solo.
