There is some discussion here:
Electro-house bobbins 2006

and perhaps some other places, but I think the guy needs his own thread, since he is not electro-house bobbins by any means. Pom Pom 26 is, per usual, noisy and drugged. Quite astounding. The B-Side is a bit less 'dark' than the A with some high watery flourishes here and there, but I like them both. So: what's good what's not?
Anyone know if this guy is seriously into noise music? Sounds like it.

Pom Pom 19 is incredible - super creeped-out circus music. I think they're pretty much all great, and as much as i love the anonymity of it all, i wanna know more...
Is it one person, or like a collective type thing? Am i right in thinking it's from Berlin?

3, 5, 8, 24 are the best Pom Poms imo, and 14 has the sleaziest Windowlicker re-edit ever.

He is an anonymous one-guy operation from Kreuzberg-- never released anything on an 'official label.'

I, personally, am a fan of 10, 16, 19, and 22-26. 10 and 24 get a lot of play in particular.

Jergins, try 24 if you can get it. Even better than 23.

(Also, Miki, what are we going to do without you as electronic director? God, back into the primordial ooze of breakbeat and drum & bass.)

― trees (treesessplode), Saturday, 22 July 2006 17:52 (eighteen years ago)

thx trees

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 22 July 2006 17:54 (eighteen years ago)

Trees,
I would've stayed on as director, but there was some miscommunication between me and AC, so I ended up loosing my job. Besides, I never did much anyway.

Hi Leo.

― Miki (Miki), Sunday, 23 July 2006 06:44 (eighteen years ago)

the earlier crazy distorted 4/4 stuff like on 3 and 5 is all completely essential to me

the trip-hoppy direction they went off in afterwards is less so

the pom pom stuff from this year and last is great, though, on 24 especially they really nail the new aesthetic

pom pom 18 b2 is really the watershed to me for their current sound

― james brooks (j_brooks), Monday, 24 July 2006 13:52 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, 18 and 19 are the turning point it seems. I guess I do like 16, though.

(Miki, it's cool. I just hate the Fauss's taste, yknow?)

― trees (treesessplode), Monday, 24 July 2006 14:03 (eighteen years ago)

Where can I find more about this? Googling isn't turning anything up.

― like murderinging (modestmickey), Monday, 24 July 2006 14:09 (eighteen years ago)

not so much yet as never I'd imagine.

ordinarily I'd suggest downloading them and making your own CD but... :/ (really sorry)

― fandango (fandango), Monday, 24 July 2006 14:13 (eighteen years ago)

hey murdering, googling 'pom pom' is absurd. try putting a number (b/w 1 & 26) after it-- sometimes this can get more results.

also, if you want, i can send you some tracks.

― Dominique (dleone), Monday, 24 July 2006 20:03 (eighteen years ago)

I was listening to 24 today and it reminded me of early Orbital. Then suddenly, the clouds in the sky parted, the trees swayed in time with the beat, and a guy with blonde dreads tried to sell me some bad MDMA.

I'd like to meet the disgruntled staffer(s) who wrote those blurbs for FE.

― Miki (Miki), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:25 (eighteen years ago)

Me too, Miki.

I am glad the drugginess of it came through. Also, drug dealers with blond dreads must be stopped.

he ain't sellin any longer! (i am DJing an afterparty tonight at 100see's old apartment, which has been renamed 'white magic.' i need a mixer.)

also, should have qualified that statement with: drug dealers who sell bad drugs that happen to have blonde dreads must be stopped. this is a significant population as well. (plus j p34k is a sweetheart)

Pom Pom 27 is out, according to the Kompakt newsletter. Anyone heard it yet? I might have to order it.

― trees (treesessplode), Saturday, 5 August 2006 17:54 (eighteen years ago)

one month passes...

Unless there's some kind of confusion in translation (which is very possible), cisco records keeps saying that justus kohncke is behing pom pom...
wtf?

― Geoffrey Priory (big peach), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:16 (eighteen years ago)

seems like a reach, at least as far as the difference in sound between pom pom and kohncke, though it would make me smile

― Dominique (dleone), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:43 (eighteen years ago)

ps, the pom pom 27 samples = awesome rad

― Dominique (dleone), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:44 (eighteen years ago)

i don't know about that dominique. i've only heard a few pom pom records but they don't seem beyond kohncke, just different enough that they warrant different pseudonym.

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Friday, 8 September 2006 01:28 (eighteen years ago)

well, if it's kohncke, he's apparently using one set of drum sounds for pom pom and one for jk -- so i guess I have to hand it to him for thoroughness. also, hypothetical note to jk: forget your real name, do pom pom full time

― Dominique (dleone), Friday, 8 September 2006 02:56 (eighteen years ago)

let's start a rumor that it's jk to force the real pp out of hiding!

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Friday, 8 September 2006 03:07 (eighteen years ago)

I like Pom Pom's sound better than Kohncke's...or shall I say I like that pseudonym better? Anyway, I think PP stuff is a bit more unexpectedly wild.

― trees (treesessplode), Friday, 8 September 2006 04:07 (eighteen years ago)

No way it's Justus.

― jergins (jergins), Friday, 8 September 2006 06:25 (eighteen years ago)

Pom Pom is probably a TokTok side project. both are pretty similar in their love of brutalism and outlandish samples, also TokTok were charting in 2001 and needed an outlet for their more 'underground' stuff. maybe some techie can tell if theyre using the same gear?

― chaki (chaki), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:14 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think it sounds generic and boring in the context of other techno or house -- but then I probably wouldn't have gotten as in to it before I started listening to a lot of that music

― Dominique (dleone), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:18 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe I'm biased... I'm in the middle of a huge acid house kick right now and this is just boring me. I'd so much rather Pump Up the Jam.

― less-than three's Christiane F. (drowned in milk), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:19 (eighteen years ago)

well, i mean, maybe in *spirit* but not so much in sound.

to me, pom pom sounds like a straight-ahead version of what bpitch is up to. not sure why i think that, for some reason when i first heard it, i was like, this is what ellen would do if she wanted to do straight-ahead techno.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:19 (eighteen years ago)

this is xposted way back to dominique's "perhaps" comment.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:20 (eighteen years ago)

what are you missing? nothing. some of it is hard-er more rigid tech-house w/ a dollop of the ooozy-wooozy filter affectations of maurizio and the rest of the BC crew plopped on top. some of it is grindy subhead-ish crank techno for people who are into that. some people can't get enough of that sort of thing, and the layer of mystery is something else, too.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:24 (eighteen years ago)

comparing this to "pump up the jam" is sort of wrong, though.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:25 (eighteen years ago)

like, if you are on a huge acid house kick, you are probably not in the best mindset to appreciate the subtle charms of the pom pom label. i don't think they have what you are looking for, and i don't think you want what they are offering.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:26 (eighteen years ago)

pom pom seem less glitzy (and detailed in general) sounding than ellen allien to me, though i guess both are pretty good at milking a drone -- which is defintely one of the things I like most about pom pom. however, they also seem a lot more willing to just drift off into the cosmic ether, so hardly seem more "straight ahead". to my ears, atom heart and bunker records share that (spaciness?)

― Dominique (dleone), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:27 (eighteen years ago)

pom pom = speicher w/ added faceless techno bollocks.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:27 (eighteen years ago)

which releases do you think of as particularly spacy? 14 + 23?

pom pom also reminds me a lot of guido schneider and

brothomstates and traum

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:29 (eighteen years ago)

sometimes i wonder if they're actually like some completely next-level shit like a secret re-edit label for techno heads. lots of the sounds + rhythms + melodies sound totally jacked from something that's familiar and on the tip of my tongue.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:30 (eighteen years ago)

ha, I can't agree w/speicher, unless pom pom is the ice witch speicher compared to the sky breeze normal ones

I think *most* pom poms, certainly all the recent ones, sound spacey. 24 b1 and b2 are like lullabies for moon babies

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 21:34 (eighteen years ago)

I must be missing something. What are you guys hearing that I am not?

I don't hate it, but it just isn't very funky or clever. The percussion on B2 kinda reminds me of a bizzaro world version of Mike Grant's It's A Detroit Thing on Moods and Grooves mixed with La Rock synth noises.

I am not trying to be snarky, I don't get the love for this. Explain this record to me. If I were to randomly hear this record at the store, I would put it back without thinking too much about it. There isn't anything there that makes me feel like I cannot live without it.

― Display Name, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 22:09 (eighteen years ago)

I should also mention that a friend of mine played an older pom pom record at a gig awhile back and it was mind blowing when you heard it played loud. It these really subtle reverbed hi hats with a light flange and a big ass kick drum. It was good enough that I still remember it clearly. It was it in teens, it might have been 13 or 16, but I cannot remember for sure.

I am not a pom pom hater, it is just this record in particular I don't get.

― Display Name, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 22:14 (eighteen years ago)

he's gotten much smoother over the last half-dozen or so, much more cosmic techno and less of the grungy, distorted 4/4 stuff he was doing at the beginning that felt like a breath of fresh air (or a punch in the face) in the midst of all that microhouse. now it feels much more in line with what else is going on at the moment. still like it though.

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 22:27 (eighteen years ago)

I don't hate it, but it just isn't very funky or clever.

def not funky, but I don't really care about that. I mean, funky is good, but it is not all, even for "dance" music. Clever, hmm. I like a lot of Pom Pom because they are very stripped down, almost bedroomy, but also really mysterious sounding, sometimes mystical, sometimes gothy. They're also kind of cold in a different way than, say, workaday minimal house guy isn't -- this stuff actually sounds like it's coming from a cold environment, isolated, but always moving, churning away on these little build-a-track models. Maybe the anonymity has caused me to invent a backstory, but I like the tunes, so I don't mind.

how's # 30?

― jergïns, Thursday, 12 July 2007 02:50 (seventeen years ago)

First off, I've been thinking about why I like Pom Pom's sound so much, and while I think Dominique is OTM in her comments, I also think that there's a primitive element to a lot of Pom Pom releases that is very attractive. The sounds aren't new sounds, and the arrangements aren't particularly breathtaking most of the time, but there's a rawness and simplicity in Pom Pom records that is...dare I say: old school? Original, old-seeming.

― the table is the table, Saturday, 14 July 2007 01:59 (seventeen years ago)

i would happily buy 30 off of kompakt.mp3 but they are only offering the vinyl

(which is cool and all but still)

― jergïns, Saturday, 14 July 2007 02:06 (seventeen years ago)

i'd never looked at pom pom's discography before. there are a bunch of tracks from splits, and the tracks actually have names. most (all?) came out on Nursing Home. here's my first find, from May 2006:

― futuristic vacuum cleaner adaptor (later arpeggiator), Sunday, 12 October 2008 16:58 (sixteen years ago)

listening to 32 samples .... sounds incredible. Building on the 31 double pack which in itself is such beautifully moody epic-ness. I need this but I'm skint argghh!! Anyone know who makes this stuff? To these ears it sounds like a cross between STL and Porter Ricks, well kinda.

anyone heard this?!

Info:
One may barely believe it... The bestgehütete secret of the Technogeschichte comes for the first time on CD. Nevertheless, except the cash code nothing changes and this is good in such a way as Klaus Wowereit would say. The Pom Pom sound is timeless modern and totally> out there <, it is, so to speak, the Working Class version of BASIC channel, passionate Techno with punk manner. Do advise sometimes how the Artwork looks ...? Is right: Black!

― craig sager (eman), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 15:11 (sixteen years ago)

the Working Class version of BASIC channel

It sounds sorta generic and boring... could someone fill me in as to what I'm missing?

lmao @ 19yo me not "getting" techno

― the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 4 March 2018 22:20 (seven years ago)

I thought the massive Prince of Denmark album from 2016 had Pom Pom vibes

― Dominique, Monday, 5 March 2018 19:07 (seven years ago)

oh I will check this out. I get the feeling that Pom Pom's stuff is great but prob not like incredibly unique or groundbreaking and there's prob tons more more-common acts that sound like this but I just don't know them bcz most of my knowledge of 00's electronic music is outside the realm of German techno

should I just listen to a bunch of Kompact Total comps or???

― the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 5 March 2018 19:42 (seven years ago)

yes

― the late great, Monday, 5 March 2018 19:49 (seven years ago)

ultimately i don't fuck with these because they are a bit dry for my taste but respect for managing 30-odd releases over 17 (?) years

― the late great, Monday, 5 March 2018 19:51 (seven years ago)

Pom Pom are darker, and with a hint of industrial texture than I've never heard on anything from Kompakt. Beyond the record I mentioned above, you might fare better checking out stuff like Pan Sonic, Ø, Felix Kubin, and all the old techno dudes like Robert Hood, Basic Channel, Porter Ricks. Pom Pom is (seemingly?) a lot more lo-fi and homemade sounding than that, but seems to come from the same broken-mechanics-of-grey-urban life place.

― Dominique, Monday, 5 March 2018 20:42 (seven years ago)

yeah maybe the kompakt extra / speicher releases would be closer to pom pom

― the late great, Monday, 5 March 2018 20:44 (seven years ago)

guess kompakt has a pop element that is missing from pom pom

― the late great, Monday, 5 March 2018 20:44 (seven years ago)

oh yeah Basic Channel is close! That's the road I need to go down
