Electro-house bobbins 2005

can i have a roll call of labels and/or artists primarily producing this kind of thing?

just (finally) heard the thin white duke mix of "just let go" - pretty underwhelmed, as i was by the original. i really wanted another "emerge", but this really isn't it.

I've got the unmixed version of Crack House Warming somewhere. I liked it well enough, but it didn't set anything on fire. I can't really remember much about it, but the fact I haven't bothered to dig it out since late November probably says it all.

I have the Michael Mayer mix too. I think it's more up your alley than mine Tobes. Obv. old Mac and the wrath of Novamute (I really want to stay on their mailing list) prevents me soul-seeking, but you can have my CD copy if you want it.

i've only listened to the soulwax remix of lcd soundsystem once, but i remember it being pretty great. there were some good remixes of soulwax's e-talking, too, weren't there? one by rex the dog? i should really sort my mp3s out.

It's seriously amazing, maybe the best release on Get Physical so far, I mean in terms of all 3 tracks being really really great.

Also while I'm posting this, can we have a DJ T Vs MANDY throwdown on this thread? Or should I start a new one? I love DJ T but I can't escape the sensation that MANDY are going to get better and better, whereas T seems a bit less versatile.

I don't think I have any 05 recommendations yet!

Kev, which artist is that?

Mental Overdrive - Disko Dans

check Blue Room - Radio 1
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/dance/blueroom/tracklistingssat.shtml

This track grooves with pulsating electro robotic beats.

a couple questions: has anyone been able to ID tunes from the DJ T - Club Monza mix that was discussed a month or so ago? i've only been able to figure out Osborne - Africa as the 2nd track but i'm dying to figure out some of those other ones. anybody?

also, i got something from slsk that seems to be MANDY remixes of Laurie Anderson's "O Superman". has this been released? will it? anybody know?

That MANDY-O Superman thing was released on a white label as Telegraph-Saved At Sunset

Ronan I was just thinking last night (while listening to Booka Shade's glorious "Something Physical") about how I find it really difficult to distinguish between M.A.N.D.Y., Booka Shade and DJ T! The Get Physical in-house sound is so distinctive that it kinda effaces a lot of the internal differences of the artists. I was gonna tentatively suggest that maybe M.A.N.D.Y. were more groove-based and DJ T more epic, but then I remembered the former's "Our World (Our Music" (strings!) and the latter's "Phantomas" (beats!).

"the must-listen label for me at the moment is Systematic. recent work from John Dahlback (Jesper's cousin) has been *wrecking* shit at my house, including his newest on Morris Audio, "My Favorite Stars". "

I love Olav Pozsgay's Nur Aus Liebe - so starry and emotional! - but I wasn't aware of anything else on this label really. Actually keeping on the same topic, that track could v. easily be on "Get Physical", it sits very well next to "Freemind" etc.

Track recommendation: I was playing the M Mayer remix of The Modernist's "Protest Song", and had totally forgotten how great it is. It's like a synth tornado! I would love to start a mix-set with this track, just to scare everyone.

Funny how Mayer's album takes a lot more cues from his remixes such as this one (and Agoria, Egoexpress, Superpitcher etc.) than from the tracks he'd actually released previously.

"I actually feel mildly embarassed for the amount of jizzing about Get Physical on my part, on so many threads!"

It's hard not to though, they're so continually amazing.

ha tim - i've got that one on hold at the shot at the moment. only gave it a cursory listen but it's killer.

has anyone given "total body workout" a proper listen? just picked up the doublepack and it's solid so far...does the cd release have any bonus tracks/mixes?

oh and ronan - the dub of "superworld" is the shit. i dunno if it's my *favorite* T tune but it's up there. :)
and thanks for the tip on the Telegraph record. is it MANDY, then?

a1 - catwash/dj wild & chris carrier - eyes need sugar
a2 - catwash/dj wild & chris carrier - believe in me
b1 - martinez - mind games
b2 - martinez - machine script
c1 - afrilounge - the dude
c2 - chelonis r jones - i don't know? (starsky & hutch mix)
d1 - silver city - the galactic ride (ralph lawson mix)
d2 - tomas barfod - first timers

I have a recommendation, it is from last year but never got mentioned anywhere really.

Mount Sims-Restless-International Deejay Gigolo's super weirdo making a sad electroclash love song!

x-post maybe you did get a promo! mmm I am dying to hear this now!

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/balaam/Sum0fAPitch/Sum%200f%20A%20Pitch%20-%20TakeYourSleep%20(early%20demo).mp3

Well it's not really in the sense that Get Physical is for example, but "Lovelace" and "Against Luftwiderstand" are classic ravey electro-house tracks for me...

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/balaam/Sum0fAPitch/

Boys Noize - The Bomb. Does what it says - acidic ravey synth aceness from IDG.

Tomboy - She Hit My Head. More acid tinged electro, bit more downtempo than Boys Noize, from the Whomadewho guy's who did that Satisfaction / Flat Beats covers 12 on Gomma as well.

But today I had to almost stop the car during that DJ T @ Monza set (thanks Mike btw), WHAT ON EARTH IS THE TRACK ABOUT 49 MINUTES IN?

It is kind of warm and clicky and then it has this gigantic white noise e climax which is just insane!

what about:
57 min.
8 min./acid breakdown at 10.5 mins (?!? I NEED THIS TUNE)
25 min. ?!?! sounds like John Dahlback to me...
29 mins - what. the. fuck.

sick sick sick.

Same with 29 mins, it's instantly familiar to me but I can't think from where.

25 mins is great yeah. But the track before that is really good too!

"00:00 - 2:10: tomas barfod - 1995 (get physical)

24:45 - 28:30 hugg + pepp - kanelbulle (from the bagarberta ep on dahlback)

61:49: martinez - machine script (get physical)"

i knew that track at 25 mins was dahlback...:)
'machine script' is on 'full body workout'

(This mix is killing me, thx Heywood for the link)

And thanks for all the recommendations guys, as a newcomer to Electro-type stuff this thread is great!

thanks - big time! this is totally it.
email me privately and i'll send you some mix cd's!!

Communication From The Lab (Germ Rmx) - Laurent Garnier
(F-Communications - DFI 006)

i feel like the world has infinite possibilities now that i've got that tracklist. heh.

i'm a loser.

1. Kiko & S. Deschezeaux - “Rock Your Body”

Left-over from 2004.

2. Soulwax - “E Talking (Tiga's Disco Drama Remix)”
3. Soulwax - “E Talking (Rex the Dog Mix)”
4. David Guetta featuring JD Davis - “The World is Mine (Blackstrobe Remix)”
5. Sander Kleinenberg - “The Fruit”

Mentioned in 2004 thread as well, but came out properly in January.

6. Misc. - “Status Now”

Can do no wrong, from Speicher 24.

7. Slam featuring Tyrone Palmer - “This World (Hugh & Pepp Remix)”

AKA the Dahlbäck brothers.

8. Jan Francisco Meets Joseph Armani - “Infatuation”

More madness from Sweden.

9. Mylo - “Destroy Rock & Roll (Tom Neville Edit)”
10. Studio B - “I See Girls (Tom Neville Crazy Legs Mix)”
11. Tom Neville - “Buzz Junkie”

Tom Neville is the best Tiefschwarz tribute band.

12. Scissor Sisters - “Filthy/Gorgeous (Märtini Brös Remix)”
13. Jeremy P Caulfield - “Swagger Saw”

14. Afrilounge - “The Dude”
15. Catwash - “Eyes Need Sugar”
16. Martinez - “Mind Games”
17. Silver City - “The Galactic Ride (Ralph Lawson Mix)”

From Full Body Workout Vol. 01 on Get Physical.

18. DJ T. Vs Freestyle Man - “Beat the Street”

Packs thirty years of electronic dance music in seven minutes.

19. The Mogs - “Kelly Blame”
20. Volga Select - “Transe”
21. Simian Mobile Disco - “The Count”

All three from the new Kitsune X compilation.

22. Rammstein - “Keine Lust (Blackstrobe Remix)”
23. Tiefschwarz - “Issst”

Two bombs ready to drop.

Dave Clark's mix of Hell's Let No Man Jack makes the record a lot more interesting and better suited to dancefloors than the deep original.

On the subject of the Dahlback's, anyone heard the remixes of Murder Was The Bass? Picked up what I'm assuming is a bootleg called 'Murder Wasn't The Bass', sounds just the rework with a really naff, cheesy vocal pegged on.

Ha, I was chatting to a London DJ mid last year saying that the way things are going we're going to end up with Rammstein being played in clubs. Ace.

I was going to mention these tracks! I love them.

11. Tom Neville - “Buzz Junkie”

I'm not as big a fan of this! It's alright but probably my least favorite Tom neville track ever..

Anyone worked out what that song is that says "She could taste the shape of thigns to come"???!?!

Thanks for the other tips JoB!

Ha I was about to post asking that question again too.

Am I the only electrohouse bobbin that likes the Riton remix of "Destroy Rock and Roll" the best?

But as is, I'd love to mix it in with the serge santiago version of i'm really really hot by missy elliot.

or maybe with the blackstrobe remix of robot soul.

I think you mean The Hacker feat. Perspects: "Flesh And Bone" - at least it has that line.

MISCH MASCH 2
We are extremely excited to announce that we have FREEFORM FIVE compiling and mixing the next Misch Masch compilation! It will be the same format as Tiefschwarz’s cd with one cd a typical DJ set and the second cd an unmixed collection of their best remixes. We will also be bringing out 2 vinyl samplers.

(sorry if this is common knowledge already!)

Good news though. We've never discussed that Freeform Five Bisous Bisous mix though (is it even a cd mix?) or have we?

It's two CD's in fact, send out free (even to foreigners like me!) to early subscribers to the F5 newsletter...

Don't joke, the pall of fever I currently have gives everything I do here in Edinburgh a slightly life-or-death quality. I'm having massive mood swings - but this helps!

Ewan Pearson for number 3 plz!

Anyone know what that is?

p.s. thanks for the tipoff about that new song by the hacker, and Jan Francisco Meets Joseph Armani - “Infatuation”

And damn good it is too, kind of a salsa tinged remix!

I just heard a track last night that goes "it is what it is what it is"

It's that new Tiefschwarz, people! And Aaron may be listening to that in the library soon... :-)

That's my fav part! It's like I'm not in the library, I'm actually at a giant warehouse party on the continent.

hopefully! I sold a few copies of your mix today btw!

& not too sure if it's been bought up somewhere else, but he also played what sounded like a Closer Musik cover of Kylie's "Slow" - anyone know who it was by?

pfff, it's awesome.

It sure is, but I saved that for a Microhouse bobbins thread... ;-)

that was AWESOME! especially with the "Lovefood" vocal scattered throughout it.

also, the Mayer remix of Miss Kittin's "Happy Violentine" = the truth.

he also played this amazing tune I'd never heard before which kind of reminded me of "Get Get Down" melodically!

John Tejada is on fire at the moment!

Another good one: The Mogs - 'Kelly Blame'

Jesper Dahlback & Superpitcher with remixes of distinctive vocalled track. Makes a change from the pretty samey vocals kicking about at the moment, even if I've not ever been a fan of diva sounding stuff.

Kiko - Come On Up

Not too sure Kiko can do any wrong at the moment. Other than slightly cheesy covers maybe (Rock Your Body, Planet Earth, Take A Chance...).

Abe Duque & Switch did some mixes of the Chem's Galvanize, all are great, but Abe Duque's Dub takes the biscuit for me. His album (So Underground It Hurts) is pretty great as well.

oh wow! I love BRM's voice. she did a really good album in the 90s which I appear to have lost :(

I would love it if anyone could send that to me.

Also I haven't mentioned Geeta and my attendance of Steve Bug on Wednesday - not only fantastic, but he's so sexy when he dances.

Electrohouse cover of whoever did "Criticise", Luther Vandross? Nice big happy synths, a bit like the PSB.

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0002XL39W.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Other tunes

Spirit Catcher-Between Brothers (Spirit Catcher, as ever!)

And oddly but irresistibly, the Benny Benassi remix of "Ready 2 Wear" by Felix Da Housecat, it's super ott and ridiculously cheesey, but there's this gigantic outrageous bass riff that pumps through the whole thing and just BEGS for it to be 1997 again or for people to dig out records like "Another Chance" by Roger Sanchez!

I mean the Benassi remix is seriously high octane indestructible CHEESE. But it fucking rocks!

Runner up: Marc Romboy's "Freakin" with Blake Baxter on vocals, an acid house update so shameless it's basically indistinguishable from the original stuff, but still ace, sort of an apolitical followup to "What Happened" only I like the groove on this more. Key vocal hook: "don't stop now you can't stop now, don't stop now you can't stop - DON'T STOP!". Out on Romboy's on-fire Systematic label, who have an even better 12 out at the moment in the form of Abysm's "Future Love/Future Funk", about which I can't say much except that both sides are gorgeous.

Just heard Eclat & Prudo's Whats Happening In Pisa 12 on Music For Freaks, complete with added Italo handclaps. All 3 tracks great, but the remix of You'll Ask Us & Whats Happening In Pisa are both fantastic.

This one is soooo good. Does everything right: riffs + filters + those little crossfading gaps = godhead.

The Dominick Eulberg remix is key.

this one is soul shattering.

NB make sure you don't get the vocal mix which is on the CD version of the Kitsuné comp for some silly reason. The Dub is amazing and has a really magical Kraftwerk style interlude followed by a build up which is as crazy as the Mayer remix of "Happiness".

You can currently hear the Marco Passarani/Erland Oye cover of "Criticize" on the Peacefrog website.. although you may need to refresh/backclick and then back a few times, as its 1 of 3 tunes on their player.

does everybody know that tiefschwarz will be releasing a fabric mix in 2005?

Apparently the Tiefschwarz album comes out in June and has "Issst" plus guest spots by The Rapture and Chikinki. Exciting!

"Booka Shade are Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, production masterminds behind most Get Physical releases (eg all releases and remixes of M.A.N.D.Y., DJ T., Sunsetpeople and Chelonis R. Jones)"

It's funny how there were no Get Physical releases for ages in the leadup to the Booka Shade album's release. Hmm I wonder why!

The new M.A.N.D.Y. is very good though.

There should be a M.A.N.D.Y. style mix-album for all the great tracks that didn't end up on the mix already released.

Like DJ T tracks have those DJ T basslines, and Mandy tracks tend to be more epic and deep house style.

Or is there actually some input from MANDY/DJ T?

Cos actually one side of that Booka Shade single is a DJ T track, they let the mask slip that time.

Presumably "Beat The Street" is all Sassé no DJ T aswell.

I want to hear "No Stopping".

Have you heard any of the Systematic tracks Ronan? You would adore adore adore Abysm's "Future Love/Future Funk". Actually I only listened to the 12" once at the Kompakt store, but I thought "this is a Ronan 12".

I've been looking out for Systematic stuff, we only got in that "Like A Virgin" one with the Phonique remix, which was kind of crap. I will look for that tune though!

Also someone needs to add DJ Hell-Je Regrette....Everything (Superpitcher Mix) to this years electrohouse list, it's so good. One of my favourites so far.

Marc Romboy vs Booka Shade - Everyday Of My Life
Marc Romboy ft. Blake Baxter - Freakin'
Abysm - Future Love/Future Funk
Olav Pozsgay - Nur Aus Liebe (this one esp. it's like the best track Get Physical never released)

This label is so shameless about its Chicago affectations, it makes everyone else look subtle.

Dave Clarke - “Dirtbox (DJ Hell Mix)”
Joshua - “Pearl's Dub”
Zoo Brazil - “Express Yourself”
N&W - “Randomizer”
Kylie - “Giving You Up (Alter Ego Vocal)”
Moonbootica - “Mustang 86”
Frank Martiniq - “Boost (Misc. Remix)”
SebastiAn - “Smoking Kills(?)”
Gerome Sportelli - Acid Krax Vol. II EP
Sweet Light - “Abusator (Black Strobe Remix)”
Quizz - Are U Sure EP

i am soooooo behind on hearing much of the stuff mentioned here. in fact i am still trying to catch up on 2004...

also what happened to Syndicated Peoples?

This one! This one is out of this world. Their best remix yet, by far.

Mount Sims-Lights On

amazing.

Now it's my turn to say "blah". :) Okay, just got it in the mail and only listened to the first four tracks, but it didn't make a deep impression. Yet.

(but yeah Hell, saw it all coming didn't he? With that EBM mix but also NY Muscle, which is haunting the bobbins with a second remixed life.)

Is this any good? (okay it's 2004 bobbins) Tracklisting looks interesting.

Finally got hold of Telegraph - Saved At Sunset. Excellent.
Also 'Marionnette', the new Mat Jonson is beautiful (again).
And Tim sure was OTM with that Ada/Fairly remix of 'Against Luftwiderstand'.

We live in a golden age, don't we?

Speicher 26 too!

Pan/tone - “Smoke Signals”
Pan/tone - “Tomahawk Chop!”
N&W - “Endurance”
Jake Fairley - “Racoondog”
Duoteque - “N-Intendo”
Duoteque - “Blick”

not so much electro house, more like um knarz samba? with the knarz sounds going backwards? something like that. sports an awesome breakdown with echo-y autechre distortion noise

"I don't think anything could hit me in my heart as much as the Pearson remix of "Perspex Sex". But I sort of take your point. What I would like to see is electro-house and the e-motive pseudo-French house of Cosmos/Linus Loves/Space Cowboy converge into a rainbow-coloured celebration of multi-coloured pop-house swathed in the melted-bling production techniques of French House, but with really big eighties/electro hooks. Maybe the secret of all the great vaguely-house tracks of the last year or two has been what they've done with the treble end, the way they've learnt the impact of a hook that's not just taken from disco. (the only way for French House especially to move forward is to become almost entirely post-disco; the enthusiasm with which ultra-melodic eighties pop especially has recently been embraced (see Discovery, "The Terrace/Stand Back", "I Would Die 4 U") has been a fantastic development)"

How is the Moonbootica mix album?

Tiefschwarz - Issst (dub)

Also really feeling Sassé-Soulsounds (Freestyle Man Mix), this may be from last year? Like acid meets click meets old style deep house, really good, it's on Bugnology I think.

"What's Happening In Pisa" is increasingly inescapable I find (in a good way though) - it's like Slam's "This World", people like weird nerd-robot vocals.

Bromberger, Sebastien - Close to Me [MODEL001CD] CD $15.75
"After nine maxis vinyls, Close To Me is the first CD production of the French independent label Modelisme. This compilation is selected and mixed by one of its founder, Sebastien Bromberger. Close To Me is composed of 20 amazing tracks figuring among some of the best artists (Minimal Man, Michael Mayer, Booka Shade, Rework, Jake Fairley, Falko Brocksieper, Misc) and label productions in Europe of the nowadays electronic minimal scene (Playhouse, Perlon, Treibstoff, Sender, Kompakt, Get Physical)."

They were also playing with Zip (Zip!) at an after-party somewhere but I had to go to a friend's 21st birthday so I couldn't catch it.

at first i wasn't quite sure about this, but a couple of days on it's sounding like the new rocker.

apart from that i'm still repeatedly listening to black strobe's nazi trance fuck off and keine lust whenever i go to the gym - what's the a-side of the black strobe single like? oh, and the dj koze mix of "hot love", too, i can't get enough of that.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y-Control (Tommie Sunshine Brooklyn Fire retouch)

Anyone heard the Issst remixes? Any good?

On a slightly related note, Italic should definitely release a new label comp soon just so that I can nab a full copy of Einmusik's "Jittery Heritage".

Does anyone have the 12 inch put out by the Einmusik sideproject Error Error ("It Hits My Hair")? I only know the fabulous "Music, Music, Music", and I want to know if the whole thing is worth tracking down. A track called "Tony Manero's Odyssey" sounds promising.

"Music Music Music" is definitely the highlight of the Error Error EP, but the 2 other tracks are decent too. I din't know about the Areal connection, but it certainly makes sense. I could YSI you a zip of the 12" if you want.

not really i'm afraid. But the next track: Justice vs. Simian 'Never Be Alone' is utter, utter genius.
Hell's own track is ace too.

Another song (I'm not sure what year it is but everytime i've heard it i've gone nuts) is Control (or is that Y-control?) Tommie Sunshine Brooklyn Fire retouch by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

It is absolute bullshit (good).

The Mayer version of Kylie's "Slow" is fucking unreal.

I still haven't heard it :-(

http://www.groove.de/tracklist.php?id=10

be sure to get the superdunkel remixes, not the lindstroem / prins thomas remix on clone. which is fun too but its not so much electrohouse as a novelty disco medley

i'm also enjoying m.a.n.d.y.'s body language. ahh.

Also: An 8 track sampler (which could turn out to be the entire album) of Tiefschwarz's new album Eat Books has leaked. It looks like they are attempting to crossover, as there are guest vocals on almost every track (including Matt from The Rapture, Tracy Thorn, Malte, Chikinki.)

http://www.creativevibes.com/images/Eatbooks.jpg

It was on the B side of the original release. (Not counting the one-sided pre-release white label).

Picked up "Body Language" from JB hifi (Brisbane) today - on first listen absolutely fantastic

You can still hear this in my April 30 radio show ("uur 1", third record).

There was something marvellous about seeing the Schwarz's interviewed in I-DJ and that "OVERGROUND DANCE IS DEAD" quote screaming off the page, but the meaning and implications of that having completely been reversed by now!

Sasha's always been great. I've always thought the Xpander EP was genius in that it totally rode the crest of trance revivalism circa 99 and yet (in retrospect) was quietly prefiguring the Border Community sound (esp. the second track - "Belfunk" I think).

Meanwhile this mix is the hotness and Brian Ffar is my new favourite unknown internet DJ.

Tracklistng - rude girls (and boys) check it...

1. Marcel Knoff - Horstsreturn [Mo's Ferry]
2. Someone Else & Miskate - Butterplug [Foundsound]
3. Dinky - Acid In My Fridge [Cocoon]
4. Golden Red - Tumble [Sub Static]
5. Paradroid - The Aircrash Bureau [Orac 13 CDR]
6. John Tejada & Arian Leviste - Madness [Palette]
7. (A)pendics Shuffle - Tom Feel [Orac 13 CDR]
8. Lick:The Frog - Pheremones [U Freqs]
9. Rip Off Artists - Baby Daddy [Tora Tora Tora]
10. Secondo - It's Any Late Time [Dreck]
11. Natural Rhythm - Freakinought [Unknown]
12. Spirit Catcher - Between Brothers [Polyphonic]
13. Asad & Tangun - Fear And Loathing (Mazi's Remix) [Wrong]

To be honest though I'm not sure it's an absolute success, the move, as of yet. Is "Body Language", good and all as it is, anything on "Phantomas" etc?

I mean they are doing good minimal tracks now, but the stuff on the label compilation was really catchy AND had that minimal clicky element to it aswell.

It's certainly difficult to imagine them ever doing a good Get Physical only compilation again, at this point, though I don't intend for that to sound as damning criticism.

As regards Sasha, I have to say I thought Involver pretty much sucked, not in terms of being offensively bad, but like Airdrawndagger, it was fucking boring as hell in places. And not like offensively boring either, this is the mistake people make in reading the Sasha-hate.

When Sasha is bad it is like Groove Armada boring or Massive Attack boring.

the phones remix of futureheads' "decent days and nights" is quite insane. it's basically acid/electro meets two-step drum and bass stranded somewhere between dnb and house tempo. i have no idea where you'd play it, but it's great.

i did a blend of "my friend dario" and "hardtrance acperience" last night for fun, and while it sounded great, the fact that you couldn't tell where one began and the other ended made my innate distrust of this stuff flare back up.

This is fair (re Airdrawndagger anyway, i didn't hear Involver)

Jess get Crosstown Rebels #2 you will like it.

(And I would love to know what you would think of the Moonbootica mix album, which I adore but am hesitant to recommend unilaterally due to the high cheese quotient; they are so the Fatboy Slim or even Crystal Method to Tiefschwarz's Chemical Bros)

or maybe it was just down to your wonderful mixing?

Like electrohouse never happened! Could be their Fly or Die.

What is it with electro-house and ghostwriting?

ronan - the morane is on their new own new label.

now i do everything myself except for the mastering and while it is a lot more satisfying, it sounds like shit :-)

There's an xlr8r interview/snippet with DJ T in which he mentions his working relationship with Booka Shade - as far as I remember it's as Philip Sherburne said - DJ T tells them what sound he wants - they provide.

I'll type the interview up tomorrow - if anybody wants.

i find it ironic that we are having a discussion about workload or who does what after years of "faceless techno bollocks". does it really matter? the "hidden" engineer is a given i thought. and all of these different pseudonyms are more fuel for our nerdy fanboyism.

big shiny italo tune with acid underpinnings

i do think it can go too far though. i know of one techno duo who used to bring a load of detroit records into the studio and would ask the engineer for the hi hats from record A, the bassline from record B, the strings from record C etc and then not even give him a credit on the label. wrong!

ok. rhymes with blam!

in their defence, this was in their early days and i think they do a little more themselves these days.

i guess maybe what's different here is that coming from a scene that is so d.i.y., it becomes weird to have the artist as director/conceptualist rather than creator?

i guess again i would think that the difference here is that for so long, electronic music has been associated with its processes - "the tool is the message," etc., the discovery and composition is intimately bound up in the use and abuse of gear. the legendary (and overblown) story of acid house couldn't be much more "hands on," given that the protagonists are taking out the batteries and replacing them to get their desired sounds, literally going into the guts of the machinery. the hirst/murakami model (or dilettante director model?) runs quite counter to this. i'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it definitely doesn't gibe with the rhetoric of electronic music as it's been built up - which might explain the unwillingness of some artists to acknowledge their co-producers' contributions.

hope someone likes it.

Which means Booka Shade will have had their hands in at least three albums in less than a year.

Some more bobbins, for this thread

Huntemann-Sweet Sensations (Gigolo)-very Black Strobe, but with nice bombastic italo drum fills.

French house refugee section
Zdar-Don't You Want/How Do You See Me Now (Turbo)
Play Paul-La La Land (Gigolo)

Both great by the "A French person singing in English and not keeping in time is always good" rule. The La La Land cover has some really crazy noises in it, it is such a drug record.

taken from the Get Physical Music website.

"Bateau Ivre" translates as Drunk Boat - I think that's promising.

I'm curious as to what would happen to Ronan if Vitalic remixed one of the new Chelonis singles.

the above statement translates into I immediately thought of Ronan when I read about the new album.

I agree it's impossible to keep up with this thread, electrohouse is kind of insane this year, everyone seems to be releasing a track or remix every couple of weeks.

That's cool they've updated the site Jedmond, I used to check it but I got bored with them never updating. Is GPM 030 coming out in the next few weeks then?

It's wierd to realise it's been a year and a half since the last original Chelonis release - hopefully it means very good quality to control due to stockpiling.

other releases listed

GPM 031 - Silver City "Galactic Ride" (feat. Remixes by Savas Pascalidis & Kango´s Stein Massiv
GPM 032 - DJ T. - Album Remixes
GPM 035 - Sunsetpeople "Orion"

I'm curious as to what 33, and 34 are.

I'm a little surprised that there isn't an mp3 blog specifically about this stuff, every other genre seems to have one. Or maybe there is one and I haven't found it yet.

xpost

Our club will soon be doing podcasts (soon being when I am finished being in College on Sunday afternoons doing my thesis, and wasting time on ILM instead of working) and so they should be good for electrohouse, and also Irish accents.

P.S. At the moment I'm all about Golden Red's "Tumble" on Sub Static - included on that mix I linked to above - are you downloading these Lex?

I want it to be lush, lush, lush.

it's funny.

i'm glad to see that actaully seems to be the norm at the tribeca grand as both times i played there the power went out.

i'm not sure if it fits in this thread but the basement jaxx remix of daft punk's 'technologic' - perhaps thee most insane record of 2005 so far.

please, please, please make this available somehow.

Strange, everything that has been mentioned in the two Bobbins thread i've been able to find on The Seek.

Our Loki, fezaffe, has some nice stuff although I've been in queue for the Disco Bastard Module remix for months now.

It's really good... I'm not making this up.

It was the first track of my radio show from last week, which you still hear online... (New Misc. was this week's opening record...)

It's the ultimisation of mine and Tim F's astute observation that Prince has been basically ruling electrohouse since 2003 (plus a dash of Pet Shop Boys and Bowie). And it's really fucking great pop.

(I'm just bustin' on ya, but I haven't turned up any of his music since I heard of his single in 2003. D'you have an mp3?)

Also, has anyone heard the Monne Automne album? It's apparently a collaboration between Luciano and Pier Bucci that was mostly produced in 2001 but only released last year - I think the first track from the M.A.N.D.Y. Body Language mix is from it.

einmusik seem to have alot of good tracks.

The DJ T album is really good btw, standout track for me is "Glitter", starts off like a techy-acid workout, then has a really unexpected glam italoey breakdown before kicking back in again.

I don't mean that as a put-down though, "Out of Control" is ace and so is this, not groundbreaking at all but very large and epic and building and building and building until it explodes, a TNT-laced birthday cake of multilayered sci-fi synths. Gets particularly great at the 3 minute mark with a succession of brutally assaultive lazer zaps.

The first disc looks insane!

I'd probably buy that.

Coburn - We Interrupt This Program

It's a shame FF didn't include their own remix of "Strangest Things" on the second Misch Masch disc. It doesn't deserve to languish in 12 inch obscurity.

(I was just thinking yesterday that as far as I know the Superpitcher remix of MFA has yet to appear on any DJ mix! What a wasted opportunity!)

Good to see this in, great tune.

BTW there's a vinyl with new "Pump Up The Jam" remixes out, and they're are all fantastic! Side A has two full-on, huge-kickdrum Benassi-style mixes, side B has two electro-house ones.

and what the dealie with: Elton John - Are You Ready For Love (Freeform Reform Vocal)?!?

but at least 'I Feel Space' is on there to ease the pain.

Ha ha I predicted this at least a year ago!

I actually picked up the Freeform Five album today for very cheap. It's like Rooty meets Gus Gus's This Is Normal, innit?

i agree!! it is impeccably designed (almost too impeccable??) house. jacking and reduced. i still love "freemind". i was listening to it over the weekend and the thoughts about it were rushing through my mind like so many random ideas about the past 20 years of dance music. the album is like a time capsule, but a lot of music is really like that. still not sure exactly what i think, but the album is a keeper anyway. (someone will come in here and say it's derivative and crap now)

" i still love "freemind". i was listening to it over the weekend and the thoughts about it were rushing through my mind like so many random ideas about the past 20 years of dance music."

Yes it really is the greatest thing ever. I think i first heard it on Ronan's Omnipotent Baby mix. It still thrills me every time I hear it.

great mix!

I think it's on the "Strangest Things" CDS.

i did that mix in the hour before my taxi arrived to whisk me off to the airport, and a lot of the tunes were things i'd just bought and hadn't really played, so honestly i don't know half of what's on there. i'll try to construct a setlist when i get home this week. if you give me time-markers, i might be able to i.d. whatever's in there.

btw, thanks for the nice words, barnaby! i've gotta admit that i'm pretty pleased w/ this one.

No doubt!

Soulwax - NY Excuse (DFA Remix)
http://s29.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=37OH6EJUERA3Y2QHPJ4CJTQO9I

ouch my head is hurting. I have 1) a 8-minute Interrupted Vocal Mix, which is sort of calm, classic electro. 2) a 6.14 minute version, which doesn't mention what version it is, so Í'm thinking original. It's far wilder, modern sounding, also has some cut-up vocals, a bunch of insane breakdowns and the bobbins testorone bass. Basically goes into Washing Up (Tiga rmx) territory.

Now which is the Einmusik version? :)

- Don't know about the vocals but... that groove!! It's like their remix of "Tessio" meets Black Strobe - total dancefloor destruction!!!

surprisingly great, sounds like he's actually got a decent studio engineer or bought some fancy new toys. almost like he finally manages to rip off early Black Strobe after MONTHS OF TRYING.

I mean that noise, it's just annoying! And people cheering it annoys me further, there's just nothing to Geht's Noch, how is it so huge, still?

Pet Shop Brilliance in 2005 pt.4: Silicone Soul - 'The Poisoner's Diary' Ewan Pearson mixes.

haha the co-opting of electrohouse by progressive tribal bods is in full swing!! and I LOVE IT. check guy gerber's "stoppage time" on bedrock! NASTY!

I like all of the above but a different time has come and why should those be mandatory.

It just seems pointless, (though there are plenty bongos in electrohouse), electrohouse is mainly European really. regardless of all the above, I just am unable to feel US type stuff or diva/bongo stuff, at the moment, it just fucking sucks. Like stuff off the Eskimo comps wipes the floor with current US stuff and it must be years old.

Vahid for the second time grab that Moonbootica mix, you will l-o-v-e love how cheesey mersh its vision of electro-house is.

also krikor's new thing on karat is very wighnomy, and quite like mathew jonson's new wagon repair single (with very nice art)

surely "our house" by international pony is the electrohouse summer anthem!

also i am having NO LUCK finding the get physical "body language" mix, US ilx0rs please help.

I like "Bad Acid" too.

Out of politeness, my slsk usernames is jedmond.

my username is mr_lamouche

i'm not too sure about the thomas/mayer remix of "maps" yet, but maybe it will grow on me.

also really feeling: the tiga hot in herre/plastikman (spastik?) bootleg. though i guess it's probably really old.

i haven't looked at this thread in awhile but it is MINDBLOWING how many of these tracks there are. i'm trying to get to all of them and am feeling terrifically overwhelmed in doing so but in a good way!

Also love the Reverso 68 mix of the Juan Maclean's "Tito's Way".

at last crosstown rebels deliver. bass alert!!!

the mayer mix of 'coheed' is indeed great. i'm really looking forward to see what old gems he'll re issue on his new label.

I think the Reverso 68 mix of "Tito's Way" is a nice example of the sort of balearic stuff that is coming out of the electrohouse stables at the moment, there's a lot of really lovely (and not overly polite) electronic disco coming out, sitting nicely with the Isolée record, I am dying to play tomorrow night and do a nice warm up set with this stuff, and then save the crazy stuff for later. Other good examples of this style are the Greenman record on Souljazz of all places, and Padded Cell's single on Suicide Records which is connected to Eskimo I think I was told.

Be interesting to hear how the remixes on the forthcoming Playhouse re-release of Lindstrom's "I Feel Space" fit into this.

xpost (dammit ran out of time to adjust my comment)

I bought an electrohouse (ish) bobbin by stirmonster today! you owe me 6 euro 50 ; )

what was the (ish) bobbin you bought? i didn't know i'd done one!

6 euro 50 seems awfully cheap. maybe i should do my record shopping in dublin. as for owing you the money, do you take paypal?

btw, do you know the downtownsounds guys as they are keen to get us over?

they have had mr fingers, darshan, glimmers a few times, in the last 2 years or so. they have morgan geist booked for next week.

maybe might cause inter-promoter tensions etc, you know yourself, but that's not for you guys to worry about really, they do goodshows.

I got your remix of Kaos, it may be out a while it only came in to the shop this week, 6.50 was my price with 25 percent discount so not too cheap, usually Dublin is expensive, 7.99 is about as low as prices go, K7 is always good value.

It's very good, only very loosely electrohouse as I say, hope to play it tomorrow night though.

7.99 is pretty much the same as here.

i will email tayor about the gig. i know all about inter-promoter tensions and don't really want to add to any.

I just played the record and I think they have actually missed the first beat yeah, I got it mixing eventually!

Yes! The first word that popped into my head when I heard the Reverso 68 mix of Manhead's "Doop" was "balearic", and the "Tito's Way" mix is similarly stunning - all those spangly trebly sounds. It really enthuses me because usually "spangly" sounds in dance music are either detroit techno flavoured or trance flavoured, whereas this stuff really harks back to UK balearic "acid" house and the like. Sort of reminds me of early 808 State or something.

Is dance music dead?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/music_week/debate_dancemusic.shtml

in my experience, more people are going out clubbing now than at any time i can remember. i would also put money on babyshambles playing to around 50 people in ibiza while the dance room next door will have several thousand.

An overgrown "Indie kid" [his self identified terminology] with the must dullard trad songs rock music interests.

It's hard to believe that a 37? year old man can be such a simple minded clown. Basically his music interests match that of the 2005 NME/ Q.

The only dance/ electronic music he knows at most is probably of the Dave Pearce/ Judge Jules ilk.

please dare

is there a matthew jonson thread? When will dude release an album?

also: the tune i'm DYING to find on vinyl having heard it out, then heard a bit of a sample online, is this motiivi:tuntematon on freundinnen (brought to my attention by its inclusion in several charts on the next earplug). i checked some samples on an online store, recall hearing it out, and it's a MONSTER..... can someone YSI it? i'm going to buy the vinyl as soon as i can find it, promise! :)

nice site at freundinnen, btw. love the sonar riffing.

it is indeed a monster. 110 bpm finnish grinding rocks my world!

ambrose - yes, i was at the polaroid club last night. it was good and they are good guys but i think it suffered a little as the venue it was meant to be in wasn't ready in time and they had to move it to the faversham at the last minute. i have to say though (and i would love to be proved wrong) that club wise i find most of england, especially the north, very conservative when it comes to dance music and particularly the kind described in this thread. i almost never do gigs in england (outside london) because i am liable to strangle the next person who comes up and asks me to play some 'funky house'. i'm still not entirely sure what 'funky house' is but i know that it is just wrong.

anyway, yes, i do play a lot of the music mentioned in this thread, although for some reason i've never really hit it off with get physical.

i have happy news: it is confirmed, isolee WILL be remixing "i feel space" alongside M.A.N.D.Y.

finally, not exactly electrohouse but i don't have anywhere else to talk about it: the forthcoming CD by benzo on franz pomassl's laton label is an absolute monster - made by a russian fellow on, i'm led to believe, all vintage russian hardware; it sounds at times like a cross between pan sonic, alter ego and plastikman. or something. actually, there are substantial traces of that amazing vibert/simmonds album that rephlex put out back in the day, still one of my favorites ever. (with snatches of russian (?) folk music folded in.) track four is an eight-minute grinder that lays down a perky, bizarrely swung machine rhythm, and then proceeds to slather all manner of hand-cranked analog squelchery over the top. someone needs to license that shit, put it on vinyl, and commission remixes from alter ego, metope, wighnomys, eulberg, luciano and smith & hack for good measure.

"1939" is fucking terrifying. i know i've heard it out before but no idea where. i must have been sober, because i think hearing this fucked up would probably cause instant brain meltdown.

the motiivi:tuntematon is also made on vintage russian hardware. who'd have thought the russkies made so many synths?

which 5 or 6 you get is a matter of opinion I suppose, he's just so prolific but I don't feel he's really doing anything new with alot of the releases, I still think "Ball of Light" and "Folding Space" are far and away his best.

Current favourite Einmusik track (though don't know when it's from) is "Eiskalt". Brisk and trancey!

"ALEX KIDD COMES UP WITH AMAZING TRANCE FUNK (THIS TERM IS HOT! TRANCE FUNK!!)"

....sources say.

-- stirmonster

I heard "Washing Up" in Top Man yesterday! Even weirder, I only realise this now because Zane Lowe played it on the evening session earlier... I didn't know it at the time, but assumed it was that "Gehts Noch" track (which I don't think I've heard, but is apparently "big" as these things get).

Umm.. Nathan Fake "Dinamo" is v.nice at the moment (off a magazine CD I have ended up listening to again out of boredom) is this electro-house or a bit too refined and subtle for that?

The division between electrohouse and micro stuff is very hazy at the moment so it hardly matters I think. The Dominik Eulberg remix is very good too! Although it doesn't top Mayer's peerless reworking of "Coheed" on the flipside of the 12 inch.

Anyway from the couple of times I've heard it I think it's much better than any of those. But all i can remember about it is this chorus of slightly multitracked male vocals going "dum dum dum dum da da da da dum dum dum" over the stomping beat in a slightly syncopated fashion.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Also:

Jeremey P Caulfield: Scar City
Ziggy Kinder: Viel Bass, Wenig Hund
Ada Blondix: 2 (w/the M. Mayer remix)

Sharon Phillips: Want 2 / Need 2 (Trentemoller Mix) == ElectroHipHouse? I can't wait to hear this thing loud.

I love the latter's Polar Shift, not crazy about the Audiomatique ones, that is to say I didn't buy them when we had them in, but they were pretty good I suppose.

lots of Playhouse though which you can never get here (and we aren't always sure about ordering cos of sales etc)

Jimi Tenor ft. Tom Of Finland: Helliä Tunteita

Way intense, almost acid-esque bassline follwed by strange vocals and orchestral interludes. Very cool.

Really feeling this right now. If MBV ever teamed up with Vitalic to make a house record I'd like to think it sounded something like this. James Holden I kiss you.

Also: "KONTROL! KONTROL!"

The remix of that Yoshi track has been getting played at least three times a night for the past 8 months or so at the club I (unfortunately) do the lighting at...

Will check out the mixes tomorrow. Cheers.

Love that track!

Also, I spot no mention of Coburn's excellent 'We Interrupt This Programme" on this thread. I even heard that on some TV advert for a cheesy quaver compilation the other day (does this mean it's actually 2004 bobbins?)

i do

Ronan you should listen to "Physical Fraction" again, it's ace. Very Alex Smoke-ish, and like the best Smoke stuff it rather ostentatiously interrupts its own dub pit micro-minimalism and goes JACK - in this case with that devastating little electro synth riff, and then the cymbals, and then the hand-claps, then the boiling kettle in the background and ARGH! We're back in the dub pit...

BUT they have all grown on me amazingly. Warning siren is one of the best songs i've heard in the last couple of years - last night elsewhere played it all sped up and it totally blew my mind. Then they played the tiefschwarz remix of electromagnetic which sealed the deal.

When will Chelonis R Jones release a crossover record a la these ones?

Also there is a fucking amazing balearic Reverso 68 style version of "Confide In Me" by Kylie, going around on a white label called "Optimus Vs Kylie", it sounds like it'd be awful, but it's really well done and has this kicking bassline plus the original vocal. Brilliant.

"...18. ????? 55.36 - 58.00 19. oooh i know this one...wait....er...is it a villalobos tune?!?! ooh shit 58.01 - 60.55..."

WHAT is track 18 before Villalobos??? ??? I need to know!

Is this the same guy/guys that remixed Playgroup as Optimo, then changed their name to Optimus? Or someone else altogether?

Ach! Der tanzmusik, so confusing!

That said contrast/compare with the last Jake Fairley album, where individual tracks stand-out precisely because the album is a bit inconsistent, and the prominent use of vocals and schaffel is rather ill-advised.

Its a bit of a conundrum for this nasty grind electro-grrbins.

how old-fashioned of you ^_^

I have a scratchpad file on my computer where I have a ton of ILM posts I thought were particularly poignant and there are a disproportionate amount labeled "Tim Finney." Hopefully I won't scare him away from bobbins of any sort with this admission!

(silence)

"I have a scratchpad file on my computer where I have a ton of ILM posts I thought were particularly poignant"

This is a very good idea! And not just in cases where it benefits me in particular. I should do this.

NO, but the first Misc album was great, so great. more please.

When I listen to their stuff (and similar stuff like the best Jake Fairley tracks and some analogous Speicher 12"s) they sound like the biggest, most monolithic grooves in the world, huge bulldozers driving into my cranium.

i still buy vinyl. i know i should be manipulating ableton live from my own hand-built MIDI controller/audio interface attached to a computer filled with mp3s of records that might come out in a limited press 7 months from now but... nope. also i dont own a computer.

now quite electro-house, but the best records i bought over the last few months:

argy "love dose" (pfr 60)
will saul "mbira" (simple 13)
will saul "tic toc (swayzak remix)" (simple 14)

there is a new simple out with a dj t remix that i havent heard yet.
