HI DERE. I got in first.

I don't own any minimal from 2007 yet. So tell me.

― jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 4 January 2007 01:23 (eighteen years ago)

you are the most minimal of us all!

i was sorely disappointed with the new for disco only. luciano has really been sucking the past couple releases.

yeah FDU is lame. A is like a crap version of CC's Angola remix. B is... well, let's just not go there. his use of the Mercedes Sosa song in live sets is *much* more effective than tossing it over a D-grade cutting room floor backing track.

on the plus side, his new production Keridos was hammered throughout 2006, and it's fantastic. full samples htm">here

people need to start talking about Leonel Castillo. his release on Sushitech is superb. a fresh twist on the Cadenza sound. the one on Hometown is pretty good too, if a little drier.

only 07 i have so far is marcin czubala's new one on mobilee....maybe a few other promos once I begin you know...doing stuff...again

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 4 January 2007 16:24 (eighteen years ago)

can someone tell me more about Force of Nature? i got the Traderoute/Straight Ahead 12" and it is really making my morning. is this shit really that hard to get in the US? the dude at halcyon made it seem that way.

hey a, can you put those samples up? where to go.

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Thursday, 4 January 2007 16:26 (eighteen years ago)

admittedly, FoN aren't strictly minimal house.... but fuck it, such rules is stupid.

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Thursday, 4 January 2007 16:28 (eighteen years ago)

xposts. Agh, new mobilee, I was doing such a good job on catching them all until about 10. I'm now way behind.

― jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 4 January 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

the samples are on the link I posted? I can't really be bothered linking all 8 of them but here's Keridos - http://www.cadenzarecords.com/mp3/csc001-a1.m3u

― a (rslvd), Thursday, 4 January 2007 16:41 (eighteen years ago)

xposts re:FoN
New LP "III" is where those are from, it's good, esp. the last track "Liberate" which is a beautiful piece of pacific ocean music.
Met them this summer on their first foray out of Japan and I can testify KZA plays a mean midtempo straight-up acid techno DJ set.

― blunt (blunt), Thursday, 4 January 2007 16:42 (eighteen years ago)

"Liberate" > "Digital Love"

― blunt (blunt), Thursday, 4 January 2007 16:43 (eighteen years ago)

thx blunt, that is sort of the idea that i got from listening to a few of their 12s. i am really into 'traderoute.'

anyway, what about this: the Sabu Martinez 'Body to Body' 12" on Mellotronen? a-side sounds like what 'Africolaps' could have been if executed better. i don't know shit about this guy, just picked it randomly and am sooo enamored.

I think this question falls under this thread, but if not, my apologies. I'm finally getting around to all the stuff I bought at Tower in mid-December (managed to catch the "all dance for $1" part of the sale before the good stuff had been cleaned out), and am wondering if a couple of things are worth keeping, or should I trade them in locally for $4-5 and get something else. When everything only cost a dollar, I basically grabbed anything that was slightly familiar. The two things I'm wondering about are Tiefschwarz - Eat Books and Losoul - Getting Even. It looks like from the previous house thread that people don't like the Tiefschwarz. Losoul appears to be decent. I haven't opened either one yet.

― Stingy (stingy), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

i like losoul's stuff on the playhouse comps, really soulful house, even some beatless tracks with just synth and voice

― friday on the porch (lfam), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

agreed bout the losoul. tiefschwarz, imo, can suck it.

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:40 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe I'll trade in Tiefschwarz and get Immer 2 then.

― Stingy (stingy), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:52 (eighteen years ago)

"damage" on the tiefschwarz album is worth keeping it for.

― dh (djh), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:19 (eighteen years ago)

haha i'm listening to the song ricardo remixed for fizheuer... it's actually better untouched

let's just go back to bashing tiefschwarz then

― friday on the porch (lfam), Thursday, 4 January 2007 20:07 (eighteen years ago)

that Losoul album is no Belong. maybe worth $1 though.

lf, I read your comment on discogs re FZ w/ interest: "okay in the right hands on the dancefloor as the sun comes up". so which dancefloor was that on, exactly?

snide, yes, sorry. obviously it's not your fault you live in America. but if you'd experienced FZ in such a setting (and unknowingly), I doubt you'd be be so offended by it. it's obviously tossed off, but that doesn't stop it from being an effective idea. would you have such a problem with it if it hadn't been officially released/critically reamed by boutique stores?

― a (rslvd), Thursday, 4 January 2007 20:44 (eighteen years ago)

so, if i had actually heard the song in the hypothetical situation i said it would be good in, then i wouldn't think it sucked? wow.

― friday on the porch (lfam), Thursday, 4 January 2007 20:56 (eighteen years ago)

"okay" -- such generous praise. phrasing so obviously hypothetical. but if that's the way you want to play, let's forget it.

― a (rslvd), Thursday, 4 January 2007 20:58 (eighteen years ago)

it's not really hard to conceptualize the element of surprise and imagine how refreshing FZ would sound on a late-night / early morning dancefloor especially if you've done that and felt super worn out and been revitalized by a song... doesn't mean it's much of a song. erotic discourse was like that for me. i absolutely loved it when i heard it out but when i listened at home it was pretty boring.

i'm glad you're "interested" though

― friday on the porch (lfam), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:05 (eighteen years ago)

like, i would never recommend erotic discourse to anyone but a dj, same goes for FZ

― friday on the porch (lfam), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:08 (eighteen years ago)

point being that it doesn't need to be "much of a song". I don't think it necessarily should have been released, but I've had enough unforgettable moments with it to love it to pieces.

that's better than "otherwise it sucks".

xpost -- think we're on the same page, only my page is more drug damaged

― a (rslvd), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:14 (eighteen years ago)

speaking of Erotic Discourse (which i HATE), does anyone else like Audiojack's Robot? it basically sounds like a chopped up remix of ED so I know I probably shouldn't, but I can't help myself. maybe cos I've heard it out (never have with ED).

― a (rslvd), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:15 (eighteen years ago)

maybe he (and Playhouse) just felt like making some cash... I'm sure his reputation will survive this controversial move :P

the question is would pobjenicki cocek work at 5am on the dancefloor for a techno crowd?

― standing in the way of control-alt-delete (fandango), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:24 (eighteen years ago)

if you stuck Sensational Beats underneath it, sure

― a (rslvd), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:26 (eighteen years ago)

5am's a bit early though ;)

4 days into 2007 there aren't exactly mountains of new tracks to discuss... I think the unearthing of the original track (thanks discogs) is interesting but yes, perhaps the wrong thread for it.

― a (rslvd), Thursday, 4 January 2007 22:42 (eighteen years ago)

xpost - p.s. redundant post ;)

Being back on real ILM for barely a day is probably discouraging the bumping of older threads so far (I looked anyway, and can't find the '06 version)

― standing in the way of control-alt-delete (fandango), Thursday, 4 January 2007 22:44 (eighteen years ago)

not trying to drag out the FZ debate but that 'pobjednicki cocek' is absolutely mega. love it!

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 4 January 2007 23:37 (eighteen years ago)

the 06/07 issue: as it is very early in the year, i think it's worth talking about stuff that came out in the last month or two of last year. except fizheuer, which i am sick of talking about.

Prins Thomas's remix of Lee Jones' "There Comes A Time" on Aus Music is amazing....

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 6 January 2007 01:14 (eighteen years ago)

Just noticed this from the end of AMG's review of Magda's "Dancing Machine" mix":

"This is a disciplined, focused mix (one of the best of 2006 to be sure) from a DJ whose time in the shadows making tea is now a mere memory."

Quite a far reaching meme.

I'm sure the new Claude Von Stroke material is going to be nice nice nice. Saw him again last night and he killed it. Really, his style is a bit more house, a bit more funky than I like. But his sets are always fun and do more to remind me that I do ACTUALLY like some house rather than write it off all together.

― Cameron Octigan (Cameron Octigan), Sunday, 7 January 2007 00:00 (eighteen years ago)

the villalobos shackleton is great, if a tad on the long side but is an edit rather than a remix.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 7 January 2007 02:00 (eighteen years ago)

A tad on the long side: the Ricardo Villalobos story.

― jimn (jimnaseum), Sunday, 7 January 2007 02:11 (eighteen years ago)

what's marcel dettmann's story? i really dig "quicksand" on ostgut ton, and just picked up an interesting release on his own MDR -- another of those records in the hardwax-aesthetic, rubber-stamped labels, minimal info, etc. (it's probably P+D'd by hardwax, actually) -- that's a little synthier & more detroitish. good stuff, on first listen.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Sunday, 7 January 2007 02:35 (eighteen years ago)

what can people tell me about Equip? might be more electro-house bobbins, but i got the re-release of 'XXXO' and it has been on constant rotation on the turntable.

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Sunday, 7 January 2007 02:37 (eighteen years ago)

also really feeling ripperton's narrow minded EP on connaisseur, one of the best things on that label in a while, to my mind.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Sunday, 7 January 2007 02:43 (eighteen years ago)

Marcel Dettmann + Ben Klock are the Berghain residents, no?

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Sunday, 7 January 2007 03:02 (eighteen years ago)

really really liked that dettmann on ostgut-ton

I like that Ripperton on Connaisseur, tho I like the Plasmik mix a lot more than the Ripperton tracks. I was starting to think Ripperton had stretched himself too thin lately and got a bit boring...but his new Liebe Detail is really good...

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 7 January 2007 03:14 (eighteen years ago)

ripperton on L*D? how did i miss that? i'm not sure which mix i prefer on the connaisseur 12", might be the plasmik - will check when i get home.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Sunday, 7 January 2007 03:39 (eighteen years ago)

it's just out on promo this week, flipped with a lars behrenroth which was a bit orgasmatronic us house for me on first listen....

minilogue's forthcoming wagon repair release is pretty incredible too...

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 7 January 2007 03:44 (eighteen years ago)

oh yeah, that new minilogue is fantastic. nice live set up at www.minilogue.com as well, if i didn't mention it here before.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Sunday, 7 January 2007 03:50 (eighteen years ago)

i really wasn't into their crosstown rebels release, found it very boring, but that one is amazing...loving all this dubby humid chicagoey style stuff that's around in "minimal" now....

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 7 January 2007 03:58 (eighteen years ago)

xpost. That's a good live set. Got it knocking about my hardrive somewhere.

Looking at their website, which has a link to their myspace, I'm reminded that I don't have nearly enough of my favourite minimal types added as friends. Then again it would probably take a good afternoon of clicking!

― jimn (jimnaseum), Sunday, 7 January 2007 03:59 (eighteen years ago)

Minilogue, I don't approve of your Mathew Jonson mimicking!

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Sunday, 7 January 2007 04:01 (eighteen years ago)

i think the first dettmann release on his own imprint is fantastic industrial hippie minimal. it was one of my faves of 06. not sure about "quicksand" yet, but mdr 02 looks very very promising.

last connaisseur i really liked was one of the sides of the jochen trappe single. it was kinda like claro intelecto, but more irreverent. agree that the new ripperton is good.

― josh. (disco stu), Sunday, 7 January 2007 04:20 (eighteen years ago)

no seriously it is v good...I haven't really been big into anything of theirs since "ahck" but this is really nice on both sides...definitely a matthew jonson style on one side but I prefer the flip, far less pristine sound than they've been doing...

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 7 January 2007 05:24 (eighteen years ago)

the new MDR is basically a T++ record. good, very spaced/Chain Reaction, but on first listen the only difference from the Erosion label 12"s is more technoid rhythms.

― a (rslvd), Sunday, 7 January 2007 07:33 (eighteen years ago)

I just picked up this Antonelli Electr. record on Minuendo (which I guess is a spanish label, distr by Kompakt) which I'm seriously digging (hey we get things later than everybody else here in California)

http://www.discogs.com/release/780486

It's got that Basic Channel 'woooosh' but not quite that washed out. Makes a pretty good bridge between that kind of stuff and your more traditional stuff.

― tylero (tylero), Sunday, 7 January 2007 08:30 (eighteen years ago)

Late 2006 Bobbins but the breakdown in Exercise One - Debaya (Daniel Stefanik Remix) is seriously mighty. A hollowed out scrape over pots n pans boogie - wonderful stuff. Big Mobilee party on 27th Jan at Watergate - and I'm going.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Monday, 8 January 2007 05:19 (eighteen years ago)

okay, ignoring my previous plea for no more talk about FZ for one post: the original is definitely better untouched. let's go eastern european jazz.

yes this track is amazing. Those sudden bursts of noise!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 8 January 2007 07:44 (eighteen years ago)

Jeff Samuel's "I Think They Are Trying To Say Something" sounds just right to these ears. Also, I was just taking stock of Wagon Repair's releases from last year into this year with the new Minilogue and it certainly receives a rating of "JUST WOW!" A near flawless stretch since "Dump Truck" at least. The last thing I heard before that was "7.19 FM David" so maybe the stretch goes further back (and I didn't hear the Hrdvsion release), but what a stretch.

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

And what about this new Pantha Du Prince album (I assume to be released on Dial)? I've only heard "Saturn Strobe" but it is perfectly lush and gorgeous.

― matt2 (matt2), Friday, 12 January 2007 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

Some of you may already have found this but for those who haven't, I have a new website here

Lots of minimal bobbins and stuff...

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 12 January 2007 16:15 (eighteen years ago)

the pantha du prince album is all very much in the vein of 'saturn strobe' - it is really nice stuff, kind of limited in terms of the sounds he uses but if you don't mind that there are some terrific melodic touches throughout.

ronan u r a star. have you heard the tracey thorn/ewan pearson album yet? keep meaning to start a thread - there are some awesome songs on it, esp when pearson breaks out some properly soaring disco production.

― lex pretend (lex pretend), Friday, 12 January 2007 16:30 (eighteen years ago)

Details re the album please!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 12 January 2007 16:37 (eighteen years ago)

i've only listened to it a couple of times. thorn apparently went off to the countryside to write & record all the songs acoustically, then sent them off to pearson* to work magic on. about half are very uptempo disco numbers, some really great disco string action which complements thorn's songs surprisingly well (SEARCH 'get around to it', where thorn totally gets into this amazing dancefloor groove).

thorn's vocals are as mannered as ever - even in the most danceable moments you never feel as if she's breaking sweat. not decided whether this is a positive or negative yet.

*and someone else - pearson does seven tracks but i've lost the press release so i don't know who does the rest

― lex pretend (lex pretend), Friday, 12 January 2007 16:41 (eighteen years ago)

I still haven't heard it.

This Cortney Tidwell remix is absolutey amazing tho. Check it out, it's right at the end of the radio show I just posted up.

2006 Bobbins, but the track that I really slept on (in the sense that I liked it but didn't realise it was one of my absolute favourite things of last year) was Sleeper Thief's "Chasing You". So intricate and surprising and surprisingly, intricately hooky! Such a "yes, this is the sound of '06" track.

My favourite context for it is Heidi's Resident Advisor mix - fitting because that's such a Sound of '06 mix - that perfect mixture of housiness and deepness and clickiness, and just so very anthemic. It feels like a "Now That's What I Call Minimal!" mix, even if I only know the names of just over half the tracks. I keep going back.

i haven't heard that EAT split but i definitely don't think luciano has been sucking. i mean, the superloooongevity cut was worthless for dancing, but it's still a good listen nonetheless.

also, the new for disco only was tobi neumann, not luciano, so that doesn't count.

― friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 02:14 (eighteen years ago)

the short tracks are all very much dj tools. some of them scream possibility at me. the last final (15 min. long) is very ambient... i don't have much use for it. maybe if this was a single 12" with the two drum tracks and afghan birds, the siren tool, and tonerres. that would kill.

― friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 02:21 (eighteen years ago)

New Sleeparchive is better than his last two singles but really short on song length, perhaps mercifully.

Echo Club is also a snore, possibly expected from those two, don't know the scene well enough.

Probably not minimal but still wonderful, Gaiser & Heartthrob, "Nasty Girl."

This thread is my new home.

so when did the tobi neumann one come out?

― friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 03:27 (eighteen years ago)

i dunno? but the split with EAT is...well, let's just say that pfork got it right on the dot:

Quietly poking along since 2003, Berlin's Diamonds & Pearls label increased its profile earlier this year with a split single from Ricardo Villalobos and Henrik Schwarz; it follows up with a split from Luciano, of Cadenza/Perlon/Playhouse fame, and EAT (aka Morten Cargo & At Ease, who under one alias or another have contributed to five of DNP's six singles so far).

Luciano's side is unsurprisingly long (11 minutes) and loopy, easygoing but somehow set on pins and needles. The hard reverb that hangs over insistent clap patterns suggests a sense of confinement that runs counter to his customary expansiveness, and dark vocodings temper any runaway tropical inclinations Luciano's endlessly twitching syncopations might otherwise indulge. With little variation, aside from an ever-growing buzz of presumably field-recorded voices, traffic and crying children, this free-flowing, slightly paranoid prelude is the kind of thing Luciano can turn out in his sleep, and given the track's blasé title, he probably did. Only difference between him and us: His nightmares are worth putting on tape.

the problem is that it isn't really that worth putting to tape. they gave it 3 stars, i'd give it 2, maybe 2.5, if i were going to evaluate it in that way, which i isn't.

i listened to the luciano 'for disco only' three times the last time i was at halcyon, just to make sure that i did, in fact, think it sucked. and it does, imo.

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 05:28 (eighteen years ago)

that description could fit his superloooongevity cut. not bad overall, totally subpar for luciano. no model no tool is good though, although it's still pretty incomplete sounding. that's the point i guess.

― friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 05:54 (eighteen years ago)

i feel like he must have gone through a rough period emotionally with all the anxiety and claustrophobia in those tracks. i think he's regaining his focus.

― friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 05:55 (eighteen years ago)

i mean, most of his other tracks floor me again and again, so it might just be my expectations for him. do you have him and pier bucci? that 12" is so fucking good.

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 06:12 (eighteen years ago)

Just found out Beatport have given me $5.99 worth of free track downloads (ie like 3 tracks) - check for this in your junk mail or whatever if you bought any tracks off them in '06. Tomorrow morning will be chiefly comprised of picking these tracks (or adding a few dollars in myself and getting an album/compilation) while drinking a few gourds of mate. I think I'm going to make it something '07, any suggestions welcome, contents of this thread have already given me some food for thought.

No, to be fair I actually quite like him. Just feel he can't touch some of the other Cadenza releases.

― jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 18 January 2007 19:29 (eighteen years ago)

Some of the stuff on Cadenza is pretty boring though. I like "A Chico A Rhythmico" a lot more than anything else on there since Achso, "Yamore (Remix)" or the Luciano/Melchior split 12.

Obv. it's not in the same class as, say, the lifechanging Bomberos/Octagonal 12.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 18 January 2007 20:44 (eighteen years ago)

"Achso, "Yamore (Remix)" or the Luciano/Melchior split 12"

? but this is a list of 3 out of 4 of Cadenza's latest 12"s.

I like it all apart from Digitaline and Cadenza 03.

On that note, anyone else like the Bodycode album? It's hit or miss for me, but mostly the former..

Mouth to mouth remixes should be interesting. Easily in the top 5 tracks of last year for me, perhaps with the No fit state remix by Audion also in there.

― jimn (jimnaseum), Thursday, 18 January 2007 21:59 (eighteen years ago)

'octagonal' is.. so good. i like a good amount of cadenza stuff. loco dice is sort of down there on my list (he's *okay*), but eh. Yamore is sick shit.

Ah, for some reason I thought that Digitaline and the NSI singles came out after "Yamore (Remix)". Ha ha mainly because vinyl stores over here only caught on to Cadenza in 2006 so they got all the releases in at once.

I'm also not so into the Pepe Bombilla track on the flip of "Yamore".

If there was a hypothetical "Seeing Through Shadows"/"Orchidee" 12 inch it would be just about unimpeachable.

that pepe bombilla b-side is great! i didn't think the harmonica would work but it totally does. the only problem is the overeager mastering that causes lots of outwards skips near the inside, although i guess they make allright loops. good for screwing with a crowd's heads for a few measures.

Eyerer & Chopstick Haunting. Christopher Just remix is fucking horrendous Ed Banger style offal. Didn't make it past the first minute.

That’s right our kid, iO Music continues its drive to become one of the UK's leading purveyors of all that's electronic and house (hey, just don't call it Electro House!). With this stunning fresh new single from one of the hottest production teams in electronic house Martin Eyerer and Chi-Thien Nguyen, better known as Chopstick and Eyerer. If you know the difference between house (as in where you live) and house (the music) chances are you'll have heard of these guys. Both hugely influential producers in their own right: Martin with releases on labels such as Ministry Of Sound, Above The Sky, and Unsubmissive, alongside numerous collaborations and side projects, whilst Chopstick has released music through Hooj, Silly Spider and his own Criminal Records. Both sides of the team have a huge amount of support from such deck luminaries as Digitalism, Chloe, Moguai, Funk D'void and Tom Neville, whilst the list of artists this duo have remixed include Kosheen, Snap, Simply Red, Deelite, Cassius, Deep Dish, LL Cool J, XZibit, Britney 'single again' Spears and Madonna. It's fair to say we could actually run out space for famous people, DJ's and labels that this duo have either remixed, been supported by or had records released by and that, our friends, is no mean feat!

i can't get enough of the kalabrese, can't wait to get it on vinyl. don't know if there are any tracks i'd play out much (perhaps "deep") but certainly for an early/late set there's stuff that could work. i'm loving crowdpleaser's remix of "auf dem hof" too.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 8 February 2007 19:04 (eighteen years ago)

mike, i've just heard some trash thrown at bodzin in the past. i will say that there are a few moments where the RA mix gets a bit much, but i'd say the first 30 minutes and the last 30 minutes are pretty good.

Anybody else notice the convergence between minimal and dubstep right now - Mala's last two records (albeit at -8) go perfectly with stuff like 'flatfunk'...

― natedey (ndeyoung), Friday, 9 February 2007 04:41 (eighteen years ago)

late 06 bobbines, i just found the exercise one/memo ep on the itunes music store (which struck me as weird). anyway, this is pretty minimall...i think i dig luciano's remix of Silverspoon better than the original. metalplate is pretty nice though. i think i've heard it played out a lot?

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Friday, 9 February 2007 05:15 (eighteen years ago)

The new Vakant 12" by Onur Ozer is excellent, really dark and disturbing. The "Allegro Energico" track is particularly incredible, an obsessive and dry groove complete with a saxo hook coming right from the grave of nineties US hard house. I think I love it.

"Der Graf (Kiki remix)" by Stereo & Flatner could be a huge track this year, both moody and agressive, complete with cold, gray vapours of bass and fx. Extremely good stuff.

The "Heroin" 12" on Grand Petrol is screaming "Green Velvet's vocal tunes", but it's actually much more than just a stupid remake: it carries a slow and heavy depressive vibe, but, er, kind of strong and stimulant at the same time . I could say much more about it if I wrote better English, but just remind it's a exceptional record.

Sorry if these last two are not so minimal, but I don't know where else I can talk about it, since the electrohouse thread is kind of locked.

― Etienne Menu (Etienne), Friday, 9 February 2007 19:09 (eighteen years ago)

Siah, I'm listening to Bodycode right now, actually. I was thinking about buying that new track on prerelease at Beatport since I need to use up my free credits there. Anyone listened to that, yet?

― mh. (mike h.), Friday, 9 February 2007 19:26 (eighteen years ago)

Konrad Black's remix of Mouth to Mouth really sounds like a goose.

Not that good though.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Friday, 9 February 2007 21:13 (eighteen years ago)

― mh. (mike h.), Friday, 9 February 2007 21:49 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, the promos are out.

wrong thread probably, but 'Everyday' by The Field of his new album is just brilliant. If this was what prog-trance had evolved into, the world would have been a better place.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Friday, 9 February 2007 21:53 (eighteen years ago)

I think a lot of trance could be more tolerable if everyone didn't grab on to the same slightly detuned, sawtooth-ish synth preset.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 9 February 2007 22:48 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, maybe the field is more prog than trance, and I've always into the latter more than the former. But this 'Everyday' just sound plain exciting, you know, so much more so than anything in prog, which seems to have died on its arse five years ago. All those guys should be spinning this and not bad "filthy" electrohouse or whatever they're doing.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Friday, 9 February 2007 22:58 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe there's just not enough records being produced. But I feel there should be a place for good ethereal e-moment stuff. A good idea badly executed?

That Tracey Thorn thing is really... quite nice, actually. Ms. Tidwell too. Neither of them blow my socks off on their own but can totally imagine them becoming ubiquitous this year as '07 "state of grace" type anthems.

― about:coffee (fandango), Saturday, 10 February 2007 01:30 (eighteen years ago)

Listening to "Everyday" right now and I gotta agree it sounds brilliant. It's like each successive release by the Field is a slight, but noticeably improved, variation of the last (a whole three releases in, but the point stands). I'm anxious to hear the full album.

Holy Ghost Inc-Mad Monks On Zinc-Martin Buttrich Mix

This is absolutely blinding...will probably do a blog post about it, and with it, in the next few days. Buttrich going a little bit Henrik Schwarz and keeping just the right side of intricate, ie not descending into boring lounge house a la that Loco Dice Ovum release...

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 10 February 2007 22:57 (eighteen years ago)

has anyone seen Buttrich's live act?

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Saturday, 10 February 2007 23:50 (eighteen years ago)

the kalabrese album is quite superb. the field a little too...monotone? kind of feels like all you actually need is sun & ice plus 'everyday' (admittedly all awesome).

Actually, there was a thread about how Carl Craig blew him off the stage at a recent gig and quite a few people agreed. By few I think I mean like 3.

― The Macallan 18 Year, Thursday, 22 February 2007 22:22 (eighteen years ago)

I think they were probably refering to the recent SF gig. I was at that show, and I'll agree too. It was the kind of set that would have been fun to stream in my bedroom whilst getting ready for the party, but didn't quite do anything for me when I was actually at the party. The boredom was actually pretty hard to endure, the only thing keeping me there was the promise of CC.

new Water Lilly "Invisible Ink" is really nice, kind of mysterious sounding -- I can imagine a fun time very late, dark, just about ready to buy that total stranger a drink after song is over...

also Pom Pom 28 a1 is still not really going to blow any club roofs off, but is nevertheless good, kind of 80s gothy, still spacey, big, tinny snare drum

― Dominique, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:19 (eighteen years ago)

also, b-side of new Bodzin Daytona Beach 12-inch is good; kind of a more active, but tightly compressed (as in the quality of the audio) version of something Jesse Somfay would have done totally gray and ominous -- plus I *love* the sound of the drums on this

Claude von Stroke plays here in San Francisco all the time, given that he lives here. he can be a fun DJ sometimes. most of the tracks he picks are really, really house-y. like ... funky, bouncey house. not my thing.

His best stuff is "Beware of the Bird" "Who's Afraid of Detroit?" and his remix of Luke Solomon's "Ghouls" ... other than that, i'm only half on board.

― Cameron Octigan, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 21:21 (eighteen years ago)

I've never seen him dj, but CVS's album from last year (containing all of his big singles) receives my highest recommendation. And "Chimps" is definitely one of my favorites.

― matt2, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 21:56 (eighteen years ago)

Could you guys recommend some songs/artists/labels that are more in the deep synthy spacy vein than the click-click-click vein? Songs like these:

Carsten Jost - Love
Will Saul - Pause
Estroe - Driven
Guy Gerber - Sea of Sand

I don't know if their's a partciular term for it...

― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 22:04 (eighteen years ago)

I really want to hear that CVS album (more like compilation apparently, which is fine...). "Chimps" is RAD! Fun, commercial all-caps house that doesn't set your bloody teeth on edge and sound completely recycled like 90% of current unbearable cheesy-electro-house. I mean, it's cheesy, but in a dopey, disarming, refreshing way, probably unsuitable to be pushed as the "radical new electro sound of now" by hatefully lazy & unimaginative UK dj's whose local vinyl dealer is er... HMV.

― fandango, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 22:08 (eighteen years ago)

and it'll be new again! this from the dirtybird site:

DB010 - Chimps
Check out that grill, fool!!! Chimps has been a huge crowd favorite all across the world on Claude VonStroke's album tour, chock full of influences from drum n bass and hip-hop while rocking a hard acid line and jungle congos. 2 very heavy remixes by Jochen Trappe (Connoisseur) and Alland Byallo (Liebe Detail) make for a hardcore release not for the faint of heart.
release: March 15

this alland byallo remix certainly, uh, squiggles.

― andrew m., Wednesday, 7 March 2007 22:11 (eighteen years ago)

actually, Ronan, I think you're pretty wrong. CVS isn't just a house dude. i'd have to say that part of his appeal is the crossover, and ... house is a fairly broad term anyway, don't you think?

but i do appreciate the unrequested snark.

― Cameron Octigan, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 22:15 (eighteen years ago)

ha! love that press release. more jungle boogie less "dirty sleazy (rock-y)" electro plz

― fandango, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 22:33 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry Cameron I was just yanking your chain....I meant that I think CVS, while he has kinda dipped into electrohouse/minimal (or those DJs have dipped into his style) a lot of his production work seems to be for labels which are firmly in the US house end of things, eg Utensil etc. Plus I still sort of imagine he would play that style, since that's where he's from too.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 22:34 (eighteen years ago)

ronan, i see what you mean. it's true.

pshrbrn, my mp3 of "lohn & brot" sounds a bit flat. the recording i mean, not the songwriting. just wondering if it's that way on purpose, or if i just need it on vinyl. great track though.

― Cameron Octigan, Thursday, 8 March 2007 00:25 (eighteen years ago)

this song is currently destroying my brain. it's so good. dark as hell, but totally fun. kinda reminds me of a M_nus-ier version of what I like about Misc.

I think I actually prefer Tensnake's remix of Junior Boys to the Carl Craig one, although the letter is great. It's a bit of throwback to the "Tides" remix isn't it.

The Tensnake remix is like a more epic version of the M.A.N.D.Y. remix of Chelonis R Jones's "Le Bateau Ivre": crashing italemohouse!

― Tim F, Thursday, 8 March 2007 06:40 (eighteen years ago)

Oh there's a Tensnake mix...sweet. YSI?

― Ronan, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:53 (eighteen years ago)

jed introduced me to this one - efdemin - 'just a track'. minimal house with the emphasis on the HOUSE. awesome.

bruno pronsato - 'there's galxies better'. bruno can usually be a little dry for me but this is sounding super groovy on my new hi fi.

also sounding great on the new hi-fi (so maybe these are crap and it's actually the hi-fi that is blowing my mind) is 'tre' by ebbro, though i'm not sure how minimal it actually is. sounds like daevid allen gone house.

XLR8R News Blurb: http://www.xlr8r.com/topstories/2007/02/junior_boys_remixed_tour.php

― lucas pine, Friday, 9 March 2007 01:36 (eighteen years ago)

new Anders Ilar 'ABC' 12-inch is (as usual) completely underrated and good. More than a little acid, but interesting and has enough beat to work at some (late) point in a set.

Much as I love Radioslave and even share the name Matt Edwards with him, I have to say that it seems all of his remixes (that I've heard) have sounded "exactly like (they) ought to" since "Deer In the Headlights." The all seem to gradually build and build and build and build and build and then...just end. He certainly seems to have developed a signature remix sound and they all certainly sound great, but I feel like I know exactly what I'm going to hear going in and not in a good way.

I agree 100 percent. I seriously think the only people hyping him are ones who never checked the previous chugfest. I think I got the Agoria one he did and then every single one since has been the exact same, that was ages ago. The only slight variation was his remix of "I'm A Seahorse" by Kissogram.

Definitely boring by now.

― Ronan, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:18 (eighteen years ago)

i love the carl craig 'like a child', not heard tensnake one yet though

last month i was digging around in old cds because i had a hunch, and my hunch proved correct: there is a tori amos cd single ('god') i've had since 1994 (way before i'd heard of c craig or known anything about dance music at all), which had some epic 10-minute remixes of the single on it called the thinking mix and the rainforest resort mix (which i hadn't listened to since '94!).

looking more closely at the credits it turns out these were by carl craig!!!! and they are mind-blowingly good esp when the slabs of detroit synths come in halfway through.

― lex pretend, Friday, 9 March 2007 11:28 (eighteen years ago)

i definitely think radio slave's remixes have a distinct style, and sure, "deer in the headlights" was really his (remix) peak so far, but i'm not mad at that. you could say the same of carl craig, by and large. i love that kissogram mix, close as it may come to the chelonis mix. i agree that the knife mix is sort of auto-derivative, but whatevs.

just ordered his kate bush rmx, very eager to hear what that's like.

finally listening to this villalobos beck rmx right now... holy fucking fuck. i do wish he could have scrapped the "rap" though, i hate beck's spoken word shit.

I really disagree, the Carl Craig mixes are all kinda different, at least radically different to Radioslave who has at least 4 and at most about 8 remixes that go for a sort of techier Basic Channel vibe or something, just ultra repetition.

The Kissogram one is, in my opinion, the only good thing he's done in a long time. If you're going to be as prolific as he is then you are putting yourself up for criticism if you can't change the style.

Cameron Octigan on Friday, 9 March 2007 10:03 (10 hours ago)

That was definitely just my knee-jerk response, no harm meant. Had I known it was you I would have probably done some self-editing to my comment.

That Villalobos Beck remix... I think I had some preconceived notion that there'd be next to no vocals and he'd use it as the basis for something new, but that's really not what Villalobos does with remixes at all, is it? By the time he works up to where the vocals drop in, they end up being just another churning texture and phase out fairly quickly. It's like a little sideshow in the middle of the looping rhythm.

― mh, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:26 (eighteen years ago)

haha. oh. nice.

well, i really slept on that one.

― Cameron Octigan, Friday, 9 March 2007 20:28 (eighteen years ago)

The Kate Bush remix is quite different to Radio Slave's usual style. It works really well but I wouldn't have assumed it was Radio Slave if I didn't know.

I bought Loco Dice's Harissa the other day and had this vague notion that ILM would disapprove of me. But... I like "A Chico A Ritmico" as much as just about anything by Villalobos. Which is not a diss on Villalobos!

― Tim F, Saturday, 10 March 2007 01:41 (eighteen years ago)

yeah the beck villalobos remix is fantastic. i actually like the lyrics but that's probably just my teenage odelay/mellow gold lust talking

Ananda's "Bambusbeats" is pretty good. i love the live percussion. but there are moments when i feel like i'm just listening to 10 variations of Dopplewhipper. probably needs more listens

― dave808au, Saturday, 10 March 2007 23:54 (eighteen years ago)

also, i quite like the Mouth To Mouth remixes, especially the Heartthrob ones. i was disappointed with the Baby Kate and Who's Afraid Of Detroit remixes though...

― tricky, Sunday, 11 March 2007 02:24 (eighteen years ago)

oh yeah Klockworks is great too!

Czeslawa is my fave tune of 2007 so far. i can't get enough of that wobbly frequency he has running underneath.

i guess saying the Baby Kate mixes is dissapointing is a little harsh but i was expecting more out of a minus release featuring 7 mixes. so it's probably got more to do with my high expectations than the quality of the release itself. i thought the Magda mix was the best of the bunch.

― dave808au, Sunday, 11 March 2007 02:31 (eighteen years ago)

I actually quite like the Sascha Funke remix of Baby Kate.

― matt2, Sunday, 11 March 2007 03:59 (eighteen years ago)

the thing with the beck villalobos rmx, which didn't bother me in the context of the fabric mix (though i haven't gone back to this in a while because i don't know where it is), is there's SO MUCH BECK in it. that awful awful rap! total downer.

― lex pretend, Sunday, 11 March 2007 11:41 (eighteen years ago)

think I like the robotman one the most...of the babykate mixes...just to further confuse things. konrad black starting to freewheel.

― Ronan, Sunday, 11 March 2007 12:14 (eighteen years ago)

my only quibble with the remixes of "baby kate" is that it's hard to find where the vibe ends and the record begins; they're so hermetic. i would love to hear remixes that are more inclined to play with the hook rather scramble it even more (which is why i like the plastikman one the best (plus the snare sound and bass hook in that one are ace, totally squelch-tastic. it reminds me of "low blow" a bit)).

― tricky, Sunday, 11 March 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

"low blow" is a fucking classic, i'm amazed you don't hear that out more. which reminds me i really should buy another copy, mine is scratched to hell and back, and that's a record that needs to be pristine, given that it's all bass wobble and ride cymbal and empty space.

― pshrbrn, Sunday, 11 March 2007 20:26 (eighteen years ago)

and it's also a tune you could play around with in a set for a good 10 minutes before letting the full-on spooky transition take effect. so good.

it's the same thing with radioslave, i love using his remixes as tools. (except for the real anthemic ones like kissogram and chelonis)

― tricky, Sunday, 11 March 2007 20:57 (eighteen years ago)

speaking of tools, what's the word on no model no tool?

i almost picked up that loco dice single the other day. well i put it back in favor of some liebe*detail and ostgut ton goodness. (ld 14 and 15 are amazingly good)

― tricky, Sunday, 11 March 2007 21:03 (eighteen years ago)

"speaking of tools, what's the word on no model no tool?"

---> i need to listen to it more. there are lots of soundscape/ambient/compositional type pieces, and only two "techno" tracks. having only listened to it a couple times so far, and not too actively, i'd say that it's less a full-length than a 12" with lots of other stuff strapped on.

the two dance tracks? they're okay. certainly nothing that really outshines and of his previous work. i really dig the bass on "Saulitude." it sounds like someone trying to tune a bass to syncopated rhythm. but i'd probably not play it out. just sounds good through headphones.

― Cameron Octigan, Sunday, 11 March 2007 21:16 (eighteen years ago)

efdemin's 'just a track' made me realize i've sorely neglected keeping up on dial the last couple years - what else should i seek out?

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 00:29 (eighteen years ago)

Marco Resmann - "Gouache"

Thoughts?

― Cameron Octigan, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 22:26 (eighteen years ago)

Bleepbot - the new Pantha Du Prince LP on Dial is incredible although sonically it's quite far from "just a track" (to say the least).

― jed_, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 22:46 (eighteen years ago)

the Pantha du Prince LP is my favorite full-length of the year so far.

― Cameron Octigan, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 22:52 (eighteen years ago)

carsten jost's "atlantis I/II" on dial is very nice, like a detroit version of "just a track"'s classicisms

― rio natsume, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 00:02 (eighteen years ago)

hey lex, how would you feel about maybe uploading those tori amos cc tracks? slsk has not been fruitful.

that's such a strange lineup, esp considering that ed banger tour is the following saturday.
also, is SF totally gaga for electro~~clash~~-whatever and nu-rave? presets, crystal castles, ed banger, para one, boyz noise, datarock. just a coincidence? btw this is genuine curiosity, not a gripe. even though it's not really my bag.

the resman has probably grabbed me less than most recent mobilees. new gummihz is killer, though.
re: luciano -- he never called it an album, it's definitely a doublepack and, no matter what the title says, tool.

― pshrbrn, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 07:11 (eighteen years ago)

I think the Resmann is pretty cool actually. Both sides.

I do also like the new Gummihz.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 09:24 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry I know I sound like Mobilee fan #1...I didn't think the Marcin Czubala was great.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 09:30 (eighteen years ago)

i'm another big fan of the Pantha Du Prince album. best of the year so far

i'm loving parts 1 & 2 of the Kalabrese's Rumpelzirkus. really looking forward to the release of that album along with Digitaline's Anticlockwise

i'm a little late on it but the Half Hawaii on Perlon is absolutely amazing. and the samples of their next EP sound very promising to say the least:

― stirmonster, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 11:21 (eighteen years ago)

the first two songs and i think the last two on the kalabrese album are incredible but what's in between is so bad. less comedy voices and boring dry beats, more jazzy wig-outs and pretty pop tunes please!

yeah i'll upload the tori/carl c if i get the time tonight...

quite like the efdemin album.

― lex pretend, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 11:33 (eighteen years ago)

i don't think part 2 has been released but i grabbed it off slsk.

Efdemin has an album??

― dave808au, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 12:24 (eighteen years ago)

So, has that Villalobos remix of Shackleton actually been released anywhere, or is it just for talking about? I've been reading about it for months and might have heard some in a downloaded set, but it still seems kind of like an urban legend.

― mh, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 15:28 (eighteen years ago)

Kalabrese's album is definitely uneven, but somehow that fact endears it to me more. More splatter on the wall, less pruning, please.

Staffan Linzatti's The Timber Owls is great - I'm not sure whether I like the Efdemin Remix or the original of Quibble better.

Daze Maxim's Pull Absurde is also the making my head swirl.

Same goes for Shonky's Olympia EP & the mini-mix of Michal Ho's new album (http://www.myspace.com/michalho)

When's Efdemin's album going to be released, eh?

I am due to get the Michal Ho album this week and am so psyched to hear it. Amazing producer.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 16:50 (eighteen years ago)

does excepter have, like, kick drums and grooves?

the only thing that bugs me about the half hawaii is that the congas sound maddeningly unquantized, it's a bearcat to mix. or maybe i am just sucking today.

efdemin out late april -- release party at watergate on 25/4.

i like the czubala more than the ressman!

villalobos remix of shackleton set to be skull disco 006, i do believe. SD 005 (appleblim/shackleton) is brilliant, almost not dubstep any more.... more like half hawaii.

― pshrbrn, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

(granted i have only heard their first record. or maybe not their first. but, like, one from a year or so ago. perhaps they have gotten more dancy dancy revolutionary?) can you point me to a properly housey tune?

i don't know when skulldisco 06 is coming out. i don't have a test pressing of that one. i sure as shit hope i get one!

― pshrbrn, Thursday, 15 March 2007 04:50 (eighteen years ago)

this carl craig mix is reminding me that i actually don't hate tori amos. i always thought i did, even though i did listen to "under the pink" quite a bit in 1994. i can't believe i'm admitting this. thanks for upping these mixes, had never heard them... fucking carl craig, man.

Jacek Siencewicz's "Good Luck" on Cocoon is really amazing..

― Ronan, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:02 (eighteen years ago)

Jacek's quietly been on a roll for the last two years I'd say.

I really can't wait to hear the new MIA on Substatic. I think "Schwarzweiss" is one of the best recent minimal full lengths that never made it to CD.

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:49 (eighteen years ago)

you know, i keep reading about excepter's great debt to house

I think the thing to keep in mind is a "debt to house", but I wouldn't really expect any of their tracks to go over in a "house intensive" environment -- however, you should listen to their last LP Alternation. It's probably the most overtly "dancy" sounding thing they've done, and I can totally see someone remixing an Excepter song and making it work for actual house people. I remember posting something about a Yellow Crystal Seed track once here, about how I'd slowed it down in a mix once, and it blended w/Black Dice -- I think the same kind of thing works for Excepter comparisons; just druggy, vaguely minimal, house-ish sounding stuff.

Can someone tell me how Ben Klock is doing stuff better than, say, Lee Van Dowski? Justin Maxwell? There is a lot of bleepy, clicky, minimal house happening now, and though I like the Klock I've heard, I don't really hear how it's a ton better than a lot of other stuff.

― Dominique, Thursday, 15 March 2007 16:25 (eighteen years ago)

That's a good question, Dom. I can't quite put my finger on it; I think Klock has a certain intensity and focus that, say, Maxwell (who I like, but don't find nearly as interesting either structurally or timbrally) simply doesn't. Klock's stuff is dark, white-knuckled, kind of obsessive. It's druggy, but not Villalobos druggy, if that makes any sense.

Lee Van Dowski's stuff is genius (esp on Num... i thought the Soma LP w/ Quenum was only so-so) but he's generally concentrating more on polyrhythms and pretty experimental structures. I don't hear any real similarity between him and Klock.

With Klock what I like is how he hones in on a single tone, and tunes all his drums around them, so you have this sort of beam of light extending all the way through the cut. Makes his tracks fun to mix together, too, as they often end up harmonizing with each other. DJ tools in the best sense.

― pshrbrn, Thursday, 15 March 2007 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

i don't think that any of excepter's songs have a straight house beat, but they do use drum machines to make danceable beats and they repeat things over and over again like house music. half hawaii reminded me of them more because of the mumbling and the textures and the pace, not the beats.

― lfam, Thursday, 15 March 2007 17:18 (eighteen years ago)

I don't hear any real similarity between him and Klock.

Actually, there is a VanDowski & Quenum remix by Jeremy Caulfield from last year that almost sounds like a clicky dub of Klock's Czeslawa. Maybe I just wish Klock had more going on rhythmically, though the idea of harmonizing Klock tracks together sounds awesome.

i thought the Soma LP w/ Quenum was only so-so

yeah, this was really disappointing

oh, and re: excepter, something that almost does sound like excepter to me is the fuckponydelic single from last year that samples funkadelic

― Dominique, Thursday, 15 March 2007 17:39 (eighteen years ago)

I think I played that Caulfield remix last year but I can't remember it for the life of me.

I don't think Klock is amazing, he is good though.

The new Butane on Roman Photo is really good, also I got the Michal Ho album today, first impression is that it's very good, and quite different.

Also really like Nick Hoppner's new Ostgut-Ton.

― Ronan, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:10 (eighteen years ago)

crsh ep, extrawelt's new split with themselves as midimiliz is rolling, thumping goodness.

― andrew m., Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:23 (eighteen years ago)

why do people like butane so much? i just don't hear it.

― pshrbrn, Thursday, 15 March 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

To be honest I normally don't like him at all! In fact that's the first 12 of his I have liked, so maybe worth a look. Normally does absolutely nothing for me.

― Ronan, Thursday, 15 March 2007 19:41 (eighteen years ago)

hey phil, have you ever heard 'cone toaster' by black dice? that is a proper noise/house jam, guaranteed to kill

― lfam, Thursday, 15 March 2007 19:47 (eighteen years ago)

Re Kalabrese: Lex is undoubtedly right in that the first two tracks are "stronger" than the rest - sharper, more focused, more viable dancefloor propositions. But I love the rest anyway, because rather than in spite of its dreamy ramshackle vibe. It's like a hitherto unimaginable collaboration between Markus Nikolai and the Beta Band circa the third EP.

Okay, so "hitherto unimaginable" is a bit much, but sounds fitting in this context!

― Tim F, Thursday, 15 March 2007 21:36 (eighteen years ago)

also ... does anyone have Bodzin's RA podcast? i'd love to even see a tracklisting.

more info on Herzblut?

― Cameron Octigan, Monday, 26 March 2007 23:57 (eighteen years ago)

Okay so the Popnoname album is basically the Kompakt Pop album Michael Mayer never made - hence the Underworld link i guess, though you could also describe it as Einmusik meets The Aloof circa Sinking minus the dub influences. Really, the Mayer resemblance is a bit uncanny - the same mildly trancey electro-house synth strobes, the same ultra-thick snares and hi-hats, the same emotive basslines. Probably the closest single reference point would be the Mayer remix of Baxendale, but also "Touch", "Pensum", "Falling Hands" and his remix of Pet Shop Boys. Popnoname has pretty awful vocals most of the time though! It doesn't ruin the album but he really should have sub-contracted that shit.

It's pretty great on first listen but I have no idea whether I'm going to end up loving it or being indifferent.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 00:14 (eighteen years ago)

I saw Popnoname live recently (guitar + vocals + laptop setup) and he comes off a bit more dancey/droney rock than you'd expect.

― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 00:24 (eighteen years ago)

i posted the bodzin podcast on the RA podcast thread a while back, but i'm sure the file is now inactive...

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 00:24 (eighteen years ago)

Re Popnoname - I didn't notice much if any guitar on the album, oddly. If there is it's heavily backgrounded. Maybe it is there though and that's what is making me think of Underworld/The Aloof.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 00:26 (eighteen years ago)

the second half of popnoname's 'no doubt' really takes off. wow

― jergincito, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:52 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry for the sidestep here folks, but this is killing me. What comes in at about 58 minutes of this mix: http://downloads.mixtura.org/mp3/2006-01-01-meshkov_inner_waiting.mp3

It was rather ubiquitous for a while (at least in my listening realm and I believe further) ,and I promise to punch myself in the face when you reveal the obviousness to me but sitting at work right now, it's not coming to me.

Gui Boratto - Arquipélago

― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 17:54 (eighteen years ago)

Yup, thanks. It's only my favorite Gui Boratto track. Oops!

― matt2, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 18:14 (eighteen years ago)

Great track but "Sozinho" really blew it out of the water for me. I want an entire genre of tracks like "Sozinho". You'd think given how prolific Boratto is he could provide this for me, but nooooo...

Re Popnoname, I think he put out a 12" on Firm a while back that I listened to and loved, but then didn't buy and naturally never saw again. Anyway, I remember it being totally different in sound? Of course if the Popnoname album was released on Firm I would be SHOCKED as it sounds nothing like Firm stuff. It's 100% Italic though.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 23:43 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I remember the Popnoname Firm EP being somewhat similar to the acoustic/lofi-ness of the Heiko Voss EP, although a bit more electronic.

― Cameron Octigan, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 01:38 (eighteen years ago)

Bodzin is fine-- he has his 'signature' down really well, it's just that it isn't the most interesting signature after a few listens.

― the table is the table, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:13 (eighteen years ago)

Bodzin had about 10 records out last year, and while I wouldn't call them interchangeable, it certainly felt like it.

― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 06:36 (eighteen years ago)

my favourite boratto tracks are 'like you' (yes yes i know indie trance but it is gorgeous) and 'xilo' (depeche mode influence writ large)...

for all the talk of certain other minimal full lengths this year, my favourite is by far mia's bittersüss.

what mix cds does everyone recommend? there's a distinct paucity of non-disappointing ones for me, i'm sure i've just missed the real gems. i love dixon's body language but it's totally soured by dumping radiohead smack bang in the middle of the running order...

― lex pretend, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 08:30 (eighteen years ago)

Bodzin's "Daytona Beach" is one of his better releases....some of the other ones were kinda boring recently, and not even that effective in clubs.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 09:10 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah "Daytona Beach", while sounding exactly like nearly any other Bodzin track, was perfectly executed to these ears. But so much of his stuff (especially with Marc Romboy, excluding "IO" from earlier this year) fails to move me at all. They're gorgeously ominous but go nowhere.

― matt2, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 15:50 (eighteen years ago)

― nocure, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 19:27 (eighteen years ago)

Yep...that's the key with "Daytona Beach", all the dramatic swooshing is accompanied by some drums that actually make people want to move...and well placed introduction of the same...

― Ronan, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 22:29 (eighteen years ago)

Pantha Du Prince - This Bliss is one of the best albums I've heard this year of any genre.

Exciting! I was finally able to pick up the Mungolian Jet Set remix of LHB's 'Original Highway Delight" recently and was supa-thrilled.

Ost & Kjex have some precedent in this vein as well - the Maurice Fulton remix of "Have You Seen The Moon in Dallas" is like amazing lifechanging ambient disco.

Ost and Kjex's "Thru With Being Bad" is cool, in a sort of garish nordic bigroom trance GusGus style.

Also a little catchup

From that Bpitch comp, Larsson's 12 inch version of his track, and Fairmont's AMAZING "Pavilion", please someone tell me a longer version of this is planned.

Plus Kollektiv Turmstrasse's remix of David Keno and Francesco Passantino's "Monosynth" on Keno Records is also really good.

― Ronan, Friday, 30 March 2007 09:13 (eighteen years ago)

i really like the how not to be a biscuit ep from last year, the clips of the remixes i've heard sound very nice, they are a bit wacky maybe but in a cool yello + marcus nikolai stylee

― rio natsume, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:31 (eighteen years ago)

oh and the zip show is in london, does anybody know the secret location?

― rio natsume, Friday, 30 March 2007 13:32 (eighteen years ago)

"The exact location of the party is on Tooley Street in SE1, basically walk right out of the main underground exit (London Bridge station) and it's 2 minutes down the road, if you get lost, call the hotline on 07932 869 705. "

― Kaliova, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:33 (eighteen years ago)

Fairmont's AMAZING "Pavilion", please someone tell me a longer version of this is planned.

Seconded, the comp version is way too short!

I stepped away from "minimal" in a big way last winter, primarily due to necessity (I started playing a new night that required a bit more, uh, *obvious* programming). I'm just now starting to dip my toe back in the waters and find things that move me again. I'm especially feeling this recent surge of very Detroit-sounding records like the recent Convextion compilation, Vince Watson, Will Saul, Pantha Du Prince's album, D5 on Delsin, Redshape and so forth.

haha Tim, you mean Gouache/Tempera? weirdly I like it a lot more than most of his Luna City Express stuff, though they did a great remix of Simon Flower recently. (whoever he is)

"haha Tim, you mean Gouache/Tempera? weirdly I like it a lot more than most of his Luna City Express stuff, though they did a great remix of Simon Flower recently. (whoever he is)"

Hasn't left my turntable for a week. It strikes me as quite strange that Resmann is also Pan-Pot, and co-produces Anja Schneider's tunes, and also can pull out gorgeous melodic epics like these (well, not strange w/r/t Anja's tunes, but impressive). They're both so delicate and exquisite yet massive, like minimal dialectically responding to "Full Clip".

Not sure if I've knowingly heard any Luna City Express except for "Met Harvey In A Bar", which i loved. Although it sounds totally different again! More Tuning Spork.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 15:02 (eighteen years ago)

Meant to say Resmann is also in Pan-Pot.

EVERYBODY. GO AND GET AME'S "FIORI" NOW. IT IS THE GREATEST PIECE OF MUSIC OF THE 21ST CENTURY (maybe). I DON'T WANT TO LEAK IT COS IT IS A PROMO BUT SURELY SOMEONE ELSE HAS.

(alternatively I'll play it on my radio show tonight, and put that up for download tomorrow)

― Ronan, Thursday, 5 April 2007 17:23 (eighteen years ago)

Is that up on Beatport yet Ronan? (not that I couldn't go check, but y'know)

Nothing found!

well, i give up.

― The Macallan 18 Year, Thursday, 5 April 2007 17:26 (eighteen years ago)

me! i totally dug the 12". i bought the digitaline album, it is very very good and druggy and precise and perfectly crafted with all those mercury drip percussion sounds and amorphous basslines and jacking 808 claps but as much as i love this sound i fear it is starting to get maybe a bit played out by now xxxxxxposts

― rio natsume, Thursday, 5 April 2007 17:28 (eighteen years ago)

especially the whole 10 minute intro/2 minute "hook" at the end of the track theme

― rio natsume, Thursday, 5 April 2007 17:31 (eighteen years ago)

Are you talking about the JPLS rio natsume? If so, I agree with the played out part. Sometime around the end of last year I totally lost the ability to sit through this kinda stuff.

As for the Ame thing, I found this: http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=8579 (I promise I have no affiliation with RA)

― matt2, Thursday, 5 April 2007 17:38 (eighteen years ago)

no it's not on beatport yet, I will put it up on my blog next week I guess, if it's still elusive. it is 16 mins long, I'll play it as the last track at around 22.15GMT on my show tonight, click here then if you are really keen to hear it!

― Ronan, Thursday, 5 April 2007 17:38 (eighteen years ago)

no the played out is in reference to the new digitaline album on cadenza, i always have a soft spot for boring m_nus techno!

― rio natsume, Thursday, 5 April 2007 17:47 (eighteen years ago)

hey ronan, is it track 4 on the sonar kollektiv 2007 sampler? or, alternately, 9:13 long?

― pshrbrn, Thursday, 5 April 2007 19:50 (eighteen years ago)

is there a version that's 9.13 long on the SK sampler?

The one I have is from the Berghain Staatballet project, where they got techno artists to make tracks for some performance ballet, or something like that. It's 16 mins of morose pulsing Basic Channel style stuff, can't remember being wowed by a track this much in a long time, so long that I forget the last time!

Hopefully this won't cause it to be an anticlimax for others.

― Ronan, Thursday, 5 April 2007 22:11 (eighteen years ago)

how's the luciano on the comp (not to take anything away from the single greatest song ever, but...)?

― BleepBot, Thursday, 5 April 2007 22:37 (eighteen years ago)

aww luciano likes him some edgar froese. thats nice

surely carl craig has already done fiori with better drum programming? still sounds really nice, just like landcruising.

― lfam, Thursday, 5 April 2007 23:39 (eighteen years ago)

omg the luciano track is incredible!

― lfam, Thursday, 5 April 2007 23:49 (eighteen years ago)

doesn't sound much like either basic channel or landcruising to me...

― fandango, Thursday, 5 April 2007 23:49 (eighteen years ago)

it goes more than 4 minutes just teasing you with wierd compressed kicks and vocal pads and then he brings in the serious beat and it sounds insane! omg

― lfam, Thursday, 5 April 2007 23:50 (eighteen years ago)

weetamix level density and craziness

― lfam, Thursday, 5 April 2007 23:51 (eighteen years ago)

I like the Luciano but like the Ame a lot more. I only downloaded the CD today, must give the Luciano another listen. The Sleeparchive sounded interesting too, skimmed that earlier.

― Ronan, Thursday, 5 April 2007 23:56 (eighteen years ago)

The Luciano is amazing!

― jim, Friday, 6 April 2007 00:12 (eighteen years ago)

Ooh aah, ooh aah ooooh aah.

― jim, Friday, 6 April 2007 00:13 (eighteen years ago)

― lfam, Friday, 6 April 2007 00:20 (eighteen years ago)

this Ame sound zip-all like basic channel.

― jed_, Friday, 6 April 2007 02:31 (eighteen years ago)

bah

― Ronan, Friday, 6 April 2007 09:02 (eighteen years ago)

i like it but like, ifam & jim, i prefer the Luciano.

― jed_, Friday, 6 April 2007 11:01 (eighteen years ago)

ugh rogue comma.

― jed_, Friday, 6 April 2007 11:02 (eighteen years ago)

wow, again, the Luciano doesn't sound all that to me, certainly not up to weetamix comparisons...

that Ame track did sound close to amazing last night, only skimmed thread, didn't notice the 16 MINUTES LONG part which threw me a touch(!) but it held my attention right through.

― fandango, Friday, 6 April 2007 11:20 (eighteen years ago)

yeah I dunno, maybe it is the mood I'm in, but I only billed it as so amazing because that is how it struck me, and still strikes me! I really do think it's brilliant.

― Ronan, Friday, 6 April 2007 12:10 (eighteen years ago)

it is pretty awesome... i don't suppose berghain would settle for less!

― lfam, Friday, 6 April 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

it's the first time in a while I've heard a record and felt "well, this is the best thing that's happened me for a few months" feeling. used to happen all the time...

― Ronan, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:12 (eighteen years ago)

holy fuck, ronan, you're totally right. the sleeparchive is the only one i'm a little "meh" on. the âme is HUGE as is the NSI... if this is what clubbers will actually dance to these days, this will be a very good summer indeed. i think luciano's track is brilliant -- fandango, he's never gonna do another weetamix, he's really left that IDM-my style behind, and i think all the better for it... anyway, wow. yeah.

― pshrbrn, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:22 (eighteen years ago)

yeah the nsi is astonishing, they really have struck upon such a strange niche style with all those piano pieces they sample

― rio natsume, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

the promo for the Ame was like "not very dancefloor" or something...I don't know if I'm a good barometer for what people dance to these days but I definitely would like to test this out. reckon in countries where clubs open later than 3, it'd slay...

― Ronan, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:48 (eighteen years ago)

hey, I don't mind what he (Luciano) does :D

I just wasn't hearing that in it when other people seemed to be is all, not a diss. Although yeah, it kind of sounded like it.

I don't really think of weetamix as idm anyway! just a little more on the tech(no)-y side?

― fandango, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:56 (eighteen years ago)

that Ame track is SO gonna be the next Fizheur Ziehuer of course...

― fandango, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:58 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i think the ame will kill dancefloors, the way it seems to be constantly building up to a massive drop but instead just ever so subtly shifts up a notch. talk about restraint!

― rio natsume, Friday, 6 April 2007 20:14 (eighteen years ago)

wait, can someone plz to tell me WHERE to find staatballet luciano track? is it beatportable?

― fandango, Friday, 6 April 2007 22:45 (eighteen years ago)

having been pretty much "off" electronic music for the last six months, i've been surprised by how into this staalballet album and the redshape podcast i've been today (i.e. listening to both on repeat, and indeed wasting 40 minutes learning how to extract mp3s from myspace pages). it's good to be back!

― toby, Friday, 6 April 2007 22:59 (eighteen years ago)

thanks fandango... upthread it only mentioned the ame cut being on myspace, and quite honestly, i avoid myspace at all costs.

but alas, i went.

the luciano: pretty fucking awesome. i've been really getting into the background vocal workings/clippings he lets murmur.

the ame: i think i'll stick with my tangerine dream records, though it isn't bad.

― the table is the table, Friday, 6 April 2007 23:07 (eighteen years ago)

in fact, it is quite good. i just like more bang.

luciano track on Shut Up and Dance ain't no good. very Manhattan Transfer. I like the Ame though.

Sebbo - Beirut Boogie on Liebe*Detail is a better candidate for Fitzuer status. Orchestra flourishes + boogie.

― good dog, Saturday, 7 April 2007 01:27 (eighteen years ago)

actually the b-side to the new liebe detail is great too. Lars Wickinger - Villa Incognito. It's got that same beautifully wobbly synth as Don Williams - Orderly Kaos in it.

that's a nice little collection

― lfam, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 14:23 (eighteen years ago)

"Fiori" sounds to me like TD/Mother Mallard/Delia & Gavin/Mike Oldfield. (also it reminds me of some of the incidental music in the Squid and the Whale, which I think was also going for TD or Oldfield.) I guess I just wish it either had more beat, or more going on with the arpeggios.

― Dominique, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 14:27 (eighteen years ago)

Ame are totally into that stuff. They had a streaming mix on the innervisions website that was all Tangerine Dream and the like.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 14:28 (eighteen years ago)

it has a pretty good beat I think. it just sounds like house to me, albe

oops, albeit a bit dubby

― Ronan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 14:45 (eighteen years ago)

TD/Oldfield is spot on. I hear there's a new Jean-Michel Jarre TECHNO 12".

― blunt, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:16 (eighteen years ago)

New JMJ is really, really bad. Laughably so.

New one on Conassieur Recordings is...not. Both sides are very different but both excellent.

Pele - Childhood's End
Pele - Childhood's End (Kollektiv Turmstrasse remix)

― good dog, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:48 (eighteen years ago)

Let's talk about Sasse and Naughty. I feel like these guys get sidelined a bit because they're like hangovers from electro-house who never quite fit the electro-house template anyway, and now they're among the few examples that still sound really fresh. Naughty in particular has such a great aesthetic, sort of "Voodoo Ray" meets "French Kiss" if you well, heavy and slow and psychedelic and fertile.

Anyway I picked up his Red Hot/Rojo Caliente 12 inch from 2005 and even though the two sides are basically the same I love it, so dense and verdant and teeming with sexual energy. He also has an amazing remix of Sasse's "Up To You" from late last year that is like a midpoint between the above sound and his great epic acid take on Jean Winner's "Alive & Kicking".

But I want someone to report back on Sasse and Naughty's joint 12 inch together - "All Devices On".

― Tim F, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:06 (eighteen years ago)

has anyone mentioned 'barcelona' by misstress barbara, or the deetron mix of 'open the gates' by gregor tresher and guy gerber? they are both fantastic...

i have been eagerly anticipating the radioslave misch masch.

― tricky, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:05 (eighteen years ago)

yep "Barcelona" is cool. think it was discussed on the BC thread.

I really love the Mugwump remix of "Alive and Kicking", far more than the DJ Naughty one.

Sasse seems like a good dude, and he does release deeper stuff aswell. Mood Music really boomed briefly for a while.

― Ronan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:28 (eighteen years ago)

'loosing touch' was ace but the spelling mistake always bugged me

― lex pretend, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:33 (eighteen years ago)

perhaps it's a play on words with the verb 'to loose' "he loosed the dogs"

― braveclub, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

haven't heard the sasse/naughty collab, but i rate the remixes of sasse's "gravity" and his "loosing touch" from last year. the "gravity" remixes are very different, but they are both good minimal house. one side sounds like a hidden house-y trapez cut and the peter dildo mix sounds like no one else and slays as usual. it has a killer endless break. the idjut's/rune lindbaek on bear funk from last year has a sasse remix, but the kalabrese remix is the super-delicious one.

I like "Flow" quite a bit-- pulse pulse pulse-- but keep being left like, "Wait, that was 11 minutes? Holy wow." Then I listen to it again, feel the same way, and etc. It sounds like a more lush take on a good Fluxion track.

― the table is the table, Sunday, 29 April 2007 03:15 (eighteen years ago)

I caught Bodycode live in LA on friday and he was pretty incredible. A lot of stuff sounded like the stabby chords from phylyps trak + some percussion from old chi-house trax + some heavily effected tribal sounding stuff + real tearjearking melodic pads in the background, and he cranked the bpm up a little bit so it was really pumping at times. What a great show! Plus his haircut was amazing too, like a updated kid-n-play fade.

it comes up as 'roman's bbq' when i put it in itunes :( i changed it back obv

(yeah really feeling this mix too)

― lex pretend, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:11 (eighteen years ago)

just checked, it's an Irish producer who made that tune. Donal Tierney.

― Ronan, Saturday, 5 May 2007 15:01 (eighteen years ago)

i cant tell the time warp mix apart from all the other minimal mixes. sorry for being all lex-y here etc.

― ☪, Saturday, 5 May 2007 23:23 (eighteen years ago)

sorry i didn't mean to be all hyperbolic about it. i realise it's not cool to actually enjoy music on ilm.

superpitcher played a remix of doppelwhipper last night, i assume it was by him as it was being played from a cd. was kind of introverted with a big new wave bass line

― creme1, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 04:52 (eighteen years ago)

not proeminently minimal, but there's a great mix that zdar did on our WRCP radio show last week

http://www.radiocampusparis.org/?cat=77

last track's the new mr oizo single

― Alexis Neel, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 12:54 (eighteen years ago)

Solomun's "Feuervogel" and the Guido Schneider remix of the same are both pretty great. Can't decide which is better. Richard over at Test reckons "Feuervogel" will be this year's "Body Language" or "Rej", am starting to agree with repeated listens.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:18 (eighteen years ago)

It's on Diynamic btw, go Diynamic go!

― Ronan, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:20 (eighteen years ago)

diynamic is really picking up the pace lately, aren't they? that H.O.S.H. track from a few releases ago is really out there.

― pshrbrn, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:20 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, they have had that "next big label" feel about them since day one. I still reckon the Jackmate remix of "Taggeschau" from last year is amazing. And I also played Solomun's "Hanseknaller" quite a lot last year.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

the other day i was in the car with my friend, and we were listening to a CD i made her at the end of january, with "over the ice" on it. and half-way through that track, she skipped to the next song, and said, "god, that shit gets so tired." and then i laughed.

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:34 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I love that Jackmate remix of "Taggeschau". I played it on my little local radio show a couple weeks back and a 60-something somewhat recent retiree from Capitol Records called in to ask what it was. Now that's "next big label" appeal. I need to listen to more of this stuff because I really liked the H.O.S.H. track Ronan put on his blog a while back (not on Diynamic I realize).

― matt2, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:35 (eighteen years ago)

Does anyone know who designs the Op Art covers for Audion releases?

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 19:29 (eighteen years ago)

Dunno, but woo boy, "Noiser" may *may* be my favorite of his trifecta of massiveness starting with "Mouth to Mouth." But it looks like he's moving away from his original design scheme. I thought it was just the cover of the Mouth to Mouth remixes that was maybe just a deviation, but "Noiser" also breaks the trend. Of course it looks similar to the remixes 12". You can see it here: http://www.ghostly.com/1.0/spectral/spc044.shtml

BleepBot, I suspect the Audion covers were done by Will Calcutt. He did the Suckfish album art and the website.

― augustus28, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 20:56 (eighteen years ago)

definitely agree that 'feuervogel' has anthem potential - it's got that cute melody and astounding builds which usually get the floating voters in, and is that fizheuer style brass i hear in the background?

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:04 (eighteen years ago)

and the bit where the beat drops out will make crowds go MENTAL: i am anticipating many many awesome moments to this!

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:06 (eighteen years ago)

I don't like any of the stuff I've heard from Diynamic. ILM hivemind disassemble!

― jim, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:28 (eighteen years ago)

actually i am not v good at predicting anthems. i was sure 'tizia' was going to be one, and the joakim dub of 'budapest' the other year :(

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:29 (eighteen years ago)

I listened to the Dinyamic "Feuervogel" it's got definite earworm potential but i can't say it really moves me. seems like too many bassoons or weird brass instruments?

this one is really surprisingly good so far: James Mowbray's 'Music 02' mix on Four Twenty. Starts Stefanik & Sven Tasnadi 'Doch Nich', which is a tune...

― good dog, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 22:06 (eighteen years ago)

but that was his own production. Next up is 'Steppenwolf' on Diynamic - def. bassoon house. (okay, I'll stop. must remember not to post to ILM until after ejecting the mix)

Harada's Remix of 'Debbie Does Dishes' by Oliver Molden has been rockin my socks lately

― NousSommesFaux, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 03:21 (eighteen years ago)

Feuervogel is okay, but compared to the other anthems of the year so far, it doesn't really hold that much weight. It is exquisite-- the moment at 6:35 when everything drops out is divine. But an anthem? It is much too much of a blue-baller to be an anthem-- there's no big 'woooeee' point, just a few smaller ones that don't add up to much, in the end.

That said, CC's 'in the trees' is an anthem because that loop is so incredibly big and slaying. With something like Feuervogel, there's a great amount of drama, but no denouement.

If tracks were plays, In the Trees would be Sam Shepard or Suzan Lori-Parks. Feuervogel would be a six hour long production of 'Long Day's Journey into Night.' Personally, I think jackhammer-over-the-head style is much more effective dance music than something that slowly unfolds, then dissolves.

(much more effective dance music and drama)

― lex pretend, Thursday, 10 May 2007 06:32 (eighteen years ago)

James Mowbray is the editor of Mixmag! No I'm pretty sure he's not.

Anyway the new Cobblestone Jazz is ace. Reminds me of 'Fiori' in that it's constantly bubbling up and up without ever climaxing. Very powerful.

― braveclub, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:23 (eighteen years ago)

Efdemin album any good then?

― jim, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:26 (eighteen years ago)

can someone explain the Cobblestone Jazz love to me? 'India in Me' was a snore-fest, imho, and though I like 'Dump Truck,' I can't help but wonder how so many can like them. They're great to mix with, admittedly, but the tracks don't stand on their own, for the most part.

― the table is the table, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:40 (eighteen years ago)

I can't explain it table because I agree with you on all counts.

― matt2, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:07 (eighteen years ago)

Why do you want me to explain why I like something you've already dismissed as boring?

― braveclub, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:28 (eighteen years ago)

Well, I haven't dismissed them as TOTALLY boring. Just hoping that maybe someone can offer a perspective that could change my mind toward a 'yeah, awesome,' from where i am now: 'eeh, aight then.' I like to like music.

― the table is the table, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, it's not bad to ask people to explain stuff!

the efdemin album seems good yeah, I bought a few tracks from it earlier this week, but it wasn't a case of cherry-picking the best ones really, it all sounded pretty good (apart from the ones that tried to be more technoey)

― Ronan, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:34 (eighteen years ago)

James Mowbray is the editor of Mixmag!

[ No I'm pretty sure he's not.

I am 100 percent certain that at the very least he was the editor, he was prog editor there when I did work experience back in 2002 as a young lad of 19.

― Ronan, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:36 (eighteen years ago)

(and I know he was editor at some point recently)

― Ronan, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:36 (eighteen years ago)

James Mowbray - Managing Editor

I've been making sure Mixmag comes out on time every month for four years. Before that I worked on all kinds of different magazines and newspapers, in London and overseas.

I write the house reviews pages for Mixmag and am a resident DJ at Turnmills in London.

My favourite dancefloor tunes are Mory Kante 'Yeke Yeke', DJ Zinc 'Supersharpshooter' and Joey Beltram 'Energy Flash'.

My favourite club is DC10.

oops sorry, could someone delete the email address there, if those question marks aren't enough.

― Ronan, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:50 (eighteen years ago)

dude "managing editor" and "editor" are two different things.

― braveclub, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:51 (eighteen years ago)

I think when people call him editor of Mixmag they mean managing editor, but I could be wrong.

― Ronan, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:54 (eighteen years ago)

okay, mr. sherburne, because of your pfork column, i actually *bought* an mp3 of 'mekong delta.' and uh, wow.

― the table is the table, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

I think when people call him editor of Mixmag they mean managing editor

It's still wrong! They're totally different jobs

― braveclub, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

right, how come you didn't say "no he's managing editor" then?

― Ronan, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:09 (eighteen years ago)

um because i didn't know he was? this is ridic

― braveclub, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:16 (eighteen years ago)

nice one! i finally give back to the industry, or something. heh.

James Mowbray puts together Mixmag!

― good dog, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:27 (eighteen years ago)

what's the new cobblestone jazz track?

― BleepBot, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:30 (eighteen years ago)

yes because you didn't know he was and refuted the fact that he was editor! I mean isn't that obviously why I asked? And obviously why people think he's editor because he's the ed on the creative side of things? jesus this IS ridiculous because you obviously only saw that publishing company's page and ignored the fact that Mowbray has written for Mixmag and done editorial work at various levels for years and years. (and for some reason acted adamantly about this even after it transpires he is editor in the sense that anyone even meant here, HE DECIDES WHAT GOES IN THE MAG)

the new Cobblestone Jazz is a one track release, very ethereal and deeper than the previous tracks. if you didn't like the toolish aspect of the other tracks you prob won't like this.

― Ronan, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:42 (eighteen years ago)

Not sure why you're so worked up about this, it's still wrong!

― braveclub, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:02 (eighteen years ago)

I just think it's incredibly childish on your behalf to correct people, rudely, based on one assumption and then fall back on such a desperate defence.

― Ronan, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)

The fact that something is clearly wrong is not a desperate defence, and anyway this is getting boring.

― braveclub, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:11 (eighteen years ago)

And what's so rude about correcting something anyway? I didn't mean for you to take it the wrong way.

― braveclub, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:13 (eighteen years ago)

zzz

surprised no-one has talked up this Ion Ludwig single yet. easily one of my favourites of the year so far.

― resolved, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:20 (eighteen years ago)

hey thanks for that, i heard the first track on monday and have been trying to find out what it is all week

― creme1, Thursday, 10 May 2007 17:25 (eighteen years ago)

i'm gonna talk about feuervogel a bit more.

revising what i wrote yesterday a bit, there is something about this track that is absolutely infectious, earwormy even. however, it doesn't strike me as anthemic in the 'omg it's 5 in the morning and this song holy shiiiiiitttttt orgasm' way. rather, it strikes me as anthemic in an especially melancholic way. it doesn't have enough bang to be a party minder, but enough immediacy and beauty to be one of the better tracks of the year. it is just so damn regal.

okay, done revising now.

― the table is the table, Friday, 11 May 2007 02:44 (eighteen years ago)

think that this Mekong Delta track could fucking melt a dancefloor. this is some scary good shit.

thanks again phil.

― the table is the table, Friday, 11 May 2007 02:51 (eighteen years ago)

Catching up on some archival obscurantist shit:

- The Tobi Neumann mix on Coccoon from last year is the awesomeness - which I expected, I was just waiting to find it cheap. Can I admit that this is what I wanted the Cassy mix to sound like?

- Tobias Becker's Trallafitti mix from this year is also great - so crunchy! Basically like a Sami Koivikko mix, lots of cumin and ginger and coriander flavoured sounds if that makes sense

― Tim F, Friday, 11 May 2007 08:31 (eighteen years ago)

poor Cassy mix :(

the Tobi Neumann (http://www.discogs.com/release/751900) looks a bit I dunno, more languorous? It looks good but not quite the same thing somehow...

― fandango, Friday, 11 May 2007 09:17 (eighteen years ago)

Ame - Balandine's good, huh

― micarl, Friday, 11 May 2007 13:37 (eighteen years ago)

Um, so "feuervogel" is kinda amazing... I wasn't expecting it to be so bouncy! When the horns come in, it's like a Bond film.

― Tim F, Friday, 11 May 2007 15:04 (eighteen years ago)

it gets better every time

― Ronan, Friday, 11 May 2007 15:12 (eighteen years ago)

These sorts of longform melodic epics are like the sound of 2007 for minimal aren't they - I'd class "Feuervogel" alongside Stefan Goldmann's (fantastic) remix of It's "Women In Toilet" in that regard.

― Tim F, Friday, 11 May 2007 15:16 (eighteen years ago)

Also Lee Jones' remix of Jacopo Carreras' "Olanto"!

― Tim F, Friday, 11 May 2007 15:24 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, i love the jones remx

― the table is the table, Friday, 11 May 2007 15:30 (eighteen years ago)

No words yet on Andomat & Jan's new one on Cadenza? I'll say I'm smitten...

Also, who's heard the new Le Duster Sucker LP?

― BleepBot, Friday, 11 May 2007 16:30 (eighteen years ago)

a few strong tracks in the first half of the LDF -- really strong, and quite disco -- but i think the 2nd half falls off a bit.

i'm loving the andi & jan, really nice (and housey!) release.

― pshrbrn, Friday, 11 May 2007 19:36 (eighteen years ago)

Feuervogel is so fun. I hear 'anthem' and 'this year's Rej' and think it's going to be all portentous and dark but it's bouncy and fun yet still has depth. thanks for the tip.

― jergïns, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 08:33 (eighteen years ago)

It's more this year's "Body Language" than this year's "Rej".

The groove reminds me a bit of Jeff Samuel at his best.

I just picked up "Tagesschau" on vinyl, having only heard the Jackmate remix - the original is nearly as good! I love Solomum + friends' sound.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 12:26 (eighteen years ago)

Is it me, or does anyone find the last two or so minutes of Fuervogel sound just a bit close to the beginning (around a minute in) of Mandarine Girl?

that being said, apparently there's free promotional minus tracks up on beatport, supposedly including a Villalobos edit of a Platikman track. . .

― mehlt, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 23:28 (eighteen years ago)

love the jackmate rmx of 'tagesschau'...

also i appear to have this thing called 'torch (rainer weichhold remix' by margot meets the melody maker on my computer and it's FANTASTIC - fierce, insistent melodic tech with an amazing whispered hook - "see my eyes they are bright tonight, see the stars coming out tonight" and an incredible build halfway through.

― Jena, Thursday, 17 May 2007 00:00 (eighteen years ago)

Joris Voorn has a new/unreleased track on his myspace called 'dirty thoughts' that is totally slaying me. In a way, it's kind of a more floor oriented take on the lindstrom style space disco. Really amazing and anthemic!

his Rejected stuff with...another Dutch guy...has been really good

― Ronan, Monday, 21 May 2007 02:12 (eighteen years ago)

disagreed, jena! i think it's a nice mixture of chunky sample cutting and jacking drum programming -- nothing incredibly radical, but i think shaped very nicely, and lovely to play/dance to.

― pshrbrn, Monday, 21 May 2007 03:46 (eighteen years ago)

Kind of disappointed in the Senor Coconut version of "Body Language"

― Michael F Gill, Monday, 21 May 2007 13:27 (eighteen years ago)

yeah it's a bit...messy. dunno whether it's because the riff is so overfamiliar but it never gels satisfactorily.

not feeling nu cobblestone jazz either :(

moonbeam's 'eclipse' from earlier this year - did anyone else hear it? on...traum or one of its subsidiaries. epic rushing prog-trance - really amazing.

― lex pretend, Monday, 21 May 2007 13:38 (eighteen years ago)

I must say that Mr G on Rekids is really really good. Argy's 1985 is great too, I think I prefer the original to the Sydenham, though I bought both. On a similar tip, Loco Dice's remix of Dennis Ferrer's "Son of Raw" is pretty cool, for those who can stand another long, deep Martin B epic!

― Ronan, Monday, 21 May 2007 13:48 (eighteen years ago)

"On a similar tip, Loco Dice's remix of Dennis Ferrer's "Son of Raw" is pretty cool, for those who can stand another long, deep Martin B epic!"

I can! looking forward to this. I only found out recently that "The Porcupine" was a Loco/Buttrich number. I think I pretty much love everything the two do together.

Also adoring Jacek Sienkiewicz's "Good Luck", which is an amazing post-Achso track, endless and dynamic and emotional and always just on the right side of messy.

― Tim F, Monday, 21 May 2007 14:11 (eighteen years ago)

Sienkiewicz is kind of a genius, yet seldom praised.

― Ronan, Monday, 21 May 2007 14:12 (eighteen years ago)

I am consistently surprised by just how much I do like all the Buttrich stuff. I wait for it to get boring but it doesn't really!

― Ronan, Monday, 21 May 2007 14:13 (eighteen years ago)

I think the stuff as Buttrich and the stuff as Loco Dice form quite distinct projects though. Buttrich stuff seems to be about finding a groove and really plugging its depths, while Loco Dice seems to me about marshalling all of these complex, polysonic elements into these very pretty and logically unfolding grooves, there's an inevitability to the succession of layers which I'm sure some will complain about from a pro-Villalobos standpoint but I love it (people who are kneejerk anti-structuralists in dance are generally a bit skewed I reckon!).

Versus "Good Luck" which is anti-structuralism done right.

― Tim F, Monday, 21 May 2007 14:17 (eighteen years ago)

moonbeam's 'eclipse' from earlier this year - did anyone else hear it?

i did, and thanks for reminding me! i listened to it a bunch for a few days and promptly forgot about it (downside of a good year, i guess). like you said, epic and rushing...

― jergïns, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 09:38 (eighteen years ago)

― jergïns, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 22:54 (eighteen years ago)

That's weird, about twenty minutes ago I just noticed that you're in my top neighbours on last.fm and I looked at your page and was wondering who Kramer was.

― jim, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 22:58 (eighteen years ago)

Ame's "Balandine"......oh no they've done it again! Amazing.

― Ronan, Thursday, 31 May 2007 14:19 (eighteen years ago)

It's a very prog single innit.

Both tracks sound like galaxies moving or something.

― Tim F, Thursday, 31 May 2007 14:32 (eighteen years ago)

yeah they seem to be going for this deep space techno thing.

I actually like the vocal in "Balandine" surprisingly enough.

Also not minimal as such, but very good, is Brendon Moeller's recent single on 3rd Ear. Found this through Sebo K's Mobilee Chart and all 4 tracks are really cool spaced out house as you'd expect him to play.

― Ronan, Thursday, 31 May 2007 14:35 (eighteen years ago)

Ronan have you heard the Ink & Needle remix of Amox & Atle's "A Witch's Kiss"? It's hyper-melodramatic techno in the Redshape vein. Which almost makes it more trancey for me than, like, Border Community trance. It's all very Eye Q. I keep expecting to hear a whispered "An accident in paradise..." Great stuff though!

― Tim F, Thursday, 31 May 2007 14:43 (eighteen years ago)

We should do a top ten of the SPACE BATTLE TECHNO TUNES of 2007 - Carl Craig on Faze Action, both sides of the new Ame single, Redshape remixing Zander VT, Ink & Needle stuff...

― Tim F, Thursday, 31 May 2007 14:45 (eighteen years ago)

Misstress Barbara's "Come Back" is another good one in that vein.

― Ronan, Thursday, 31 May 2007 14:47 (eighteen years ago)

Picked up Tupperwear's Kleen/Gas USA single the other day-- fantastic minimal with spaceship feel! definitely recommended.

― the table is the table, Thursday, 31 May 2007 20:48 (eighteen years ago)

other than the redshape resident advisor podcast, are there any other space battle techno mixes?

― creme1, Friday, 1 June 2007 00:07 (eighteen years ago)

the a1 of the new pom pom is also in this vein, all gottsching brain-massage arpeggiators and thoughtful sparkly chord plucks, though it is less battle and more star gaze

― creme1, Friday, 1 June 2007 00:10 (eighteen years ago)

Re Space Battle:

I was thinking that this stuff really falls in the borders of four of the biggest anthems of last year, namely:
- "Full Clip"
- "Rej" (to the extent that it really blew up last year)
- "Mouth to Mouth"
- "Revelee (Carl Craig Remix)"

... And yet none of these by themselves quite fit the emergent style. I like the idea that they kind of unwittingly gave birth to a new direction b/w them.

Not aware of any sraight space opera DJ mixes bar Redshape's live set, although developments in this area are inevitable surely.

― Tim F, Friday, 1 June 2007 02:42 (eighteen years ago)

I guess it's a couple months old, but is anybody else loving "Mood" by El Carlitto? I picked it up on some blog and it's kinda stuck around in the playlist and every time it comes on I have to stop and check who it is.

― matt2, Thursday, 7 June 2007 15:17 (eighteen years ago)

Also, I somehow missed the little Theo P interlude upthread. I say the new 3xLP is totally worth your time and money, and I agree with Michael that it's much less convoluted than the Rotating Assembly stuff. As I said in the Theo P thread, I actually find it to be as tight as anything he's every released. I love it.

And I just received my first shipment of $5 12"s directly from the hands of Omar-S. I'm thinking he needs a thread of his own now. I'll give to the fact that it could be the handwritten labels/order directly from the artist/I AM DETROIT mystique that I am totally a screaming teeny-bopper for, but much of his stuff just sounds massive. This new one with Theo P on percussion may be my track of the year so far. It's right in the vein of the T.O.M. Project release but even better.

― matt2, Thursday, 7 June 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

hmmm.. what SOUND of detroit is it, matt? my ears pricked up...

― the table is the table, Thursday, 7 June 2007 17:42 (eighteen years ago)

Well he's pretty diverse. This one definitely has more of a looping sample Moodymann flavor to it, but stuff like the new one 008 and Inside My Head and the T.O.M. stuff and even the one he "engineered" on Theo's new one called "Synthetic Flemm" have this sort of menacing thump with gurgling distorted builds that is addictive. I'm not really great at describing this stuff but it's definitely more on the Deep Demented Detroit sound than the gorgeous synth washes Detroit sound. Plus, for the geeks, periodically he pressed his vinyl running inside out.

Boomkat has a fairly representative sound clip of the new one here.

― matt2, Thursday, 7 June 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

thx. this is a great sound!

― the table is the table, Thursday, 7 June 2007 19:08 (eighteen years ago)

Agreed. I'm glad you like it. I'm not sure where you are table, but you can order his stuff directly from him for, as I said, $5 a 12", $10 for 2x12"s, and $10 for cds. Shipping is free in the US for orders over $20. It's all here: http://www.omarsdetroit.us/

carl craig has done it again with his siobhan donaghy mix. it's kind of like a compilation of bits from previous remixes - the dubbed out granulized vocal samples of his r&s mix, the burbling 808 toms of his junior boys mix, the widescreen space blanket synths of revelee, the epic drama bass of his faze action mix. it's so tense and sexy, like the nervous excitement of touching a girls clitoris for the first time

about 'feuervogel': after playing it for a few different groups of people, i rescind my comments that it does not have enough bang to be a summer smash. people fucking love that track... even this one friend of mine who always says, 'must you DJ house music right now?'

― the table is the table, Monday, 11 June 2007 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

― creme1, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 17:28 (eighteen years ago)

I'm a bit late to this one, but I'm really not feeling 'Feuervogel'. Not sure which version I heard out, but I suspect it's the Guido Schneider mix.

It feels like every 2006/2007 minimal cliche packed in to a single track to me. You have the plip-plop Guido Schneider percussion, the Rej-style synth chord stabs, and the Buttrich influenced string samples and build-build-build structure. I can't deny that it's very well executed, but the whole thing feels like a pretty cynical genre exercise to me. Maybe I just fell off the minimal wagon.

― jng, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:41 (eighteen years ago)

...or maybe you just listened to the guido schneider mix. i think the reason people (not ilm people) like it so much because it is such an infctious melody. those plucked strings stay in your head for days. also, everbody loves a bit of drama on the dancefloor.

― creme1, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:51 (eighteen years ago)

the new Cobblestone Jazz is nice, especially "Saturday Night"

― Ronan, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 22:47 (eighteen years ago)

If I may say something (as one who thinks feuervogel overrated), the strings, I find, are very difficult to take seriously. In Rej, Full Clip etc. the strings being more serious work really well, whereas in feuervogel, they remind me of well, scores to disney movies, and that infectious, poppy melody kind of kills it for me, that and the aspect jng mentioned about it sounding like an anthology of popular minimal themes of 06/07

Otherwise, I'm eager to hear new cobblestone jazz, their live act blew me away.

― mehlt, Thursday, 14 June 2007 02:44 (eighteen years ago)

ditch the strings and the bassline, add some more high-hats, and feuervogel is groove la chord.

― sous les paves, Thursday, 14 June 2007 03:01 (eighteen years ago)

okay, there is a BIT of similarity there, but not too much. also, you forgot feuervogel's horns.

Feuervogel - a record I have actually heard!

OMG 'WALK MUSIC' BY HENRIK SCHWARZ!!!!!!!

― lex pretend, Thursday, 14 June 2007 19:46 (eighteen years ago)

it's so sumptuously moody - the strings are fucking luxuriant, and underneath them you've got this purring bass and unsettling screwed vocals. it's chocolate cake decadent.

― lex pretend, Thursday, 14 June 2007 19:47 (eighteen years ago)

(as one who thinks feuervogel overrated), the strings, I find, are very difficult to take seriously.

i think that's why i like it so much. they are ridiculously bombastic and unserious. i'm not sure if this was intentional but i love the comedy element.

― stirmonster, Thursday, 14 June 2007 20:12 (eighteen years ago)

YES! to Walk Music. Love it.

― matt2, Thursday, 14 June 2007 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

The slight knowing daftness of Feuervogel's strings is offset by the great drum track, the stripped down last two minutes with bleeping bass is almost the best bit. I checked out Solomun's 'Danny from the block' it has these brilliant melody-into-noise bits, but the jazzy mid section is a bit disappointing, I wish it went ravey.

Shonky's Olympia EP from January maybe has a bit of deep space travel in it, or am I getting it wrong?

it is like if you made Basic Channel more funky. dubby, minimal, spacey, lush, rhythmically complex. just totally excellent all around, four tracks and they're all perfect.

― Ronan, Sunday, 1 July 2007 20:19 (eighteen years ago)

I notice nobody mentioned Move D - Got Thing. which I think is one of the best tracks released recently ...

-- nocure, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 19:19 (3 months ago) Link

Better late than never, but yes, I agree.

and to make this post somewhat redundant, W by Cobblestone Jazz (on the cocoon comp.) is probably my favourite thing I've ever heard by them, to all cobblestone naysayers, give this a chance. And, the Brendon Moeller Ep (well, the two tracks I've heard) is also really excellent. These, but especially the former, are getting serious playtime for me.

― mehlt, Tuesday, 3 July 2007 17:04 (eighteen years ago)

is everyone excited about the Tuss? the one track i've heard (courtesy of littlewhiteearbuds) is pretty excellent, reminds me a bit of UR.

― the table is the table, Saturday, 7 July 2007 22:06 (eighteen years ago)

It's aight. Doesn't really belong in this thread and doesn't sound like UR.

― jim, Saturday, 7 July 2007 22:12 (eighteen years ago)

There's a lot of speculation that The Tuss is Aphex Twin. It's a great imitation regardless.

― Michael F Gill, Saturday, 7 July 2007 22:17 (eighteen years ago)

It might as well belong in this thread as there are no other rolling dance threads for this year.

― Michael F Gill, Saturday, 7 July 2007 22:19 (eighteen years ago)

None that are really active that is. Even the Kompakt thread has slowed considerably.

Discussion about it on this thread New Aphex Twin Record

― jim, Saturday, 7 July 2007 22:20 (eighteen years ago)

jim i'm sorry but 'last rushup 10' sounds, at times, like a UR track. so stop being a dick.

― the table is the table, Sunday, 8 July 2007 00:25 (eighteen years ago)

in fact, i'd venture to say that a lot of this EP sounds like UR-style detroit, updated a bit.

― the table is the table, Sunday, 8 July 2007 00:27 (eighteen years ago)

I wish it sounded like Underground Resistance. Stop having cloth-ears.

― jim, Sunday, 8 July 2007 00:28 (eighteen years ago)

I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU

― the table is the table, Sunday, 8 July 2007 00:34 (eighteen years ago)

the first minute of 'last rushup 10' could easily be a UR track. the rest of it not so much. it's not like i've listened to it a billion times, it was just a passing observation.

― the table is the table, Sunday, 8 July 2007 00:36 (eighteen years ago)

also sorry about that killing you comment. cloth-ears is not a term i like being attributed to me.

― the table is the table, Sunday, 8 July 2007 02:40 (eighteen years ago)

Just watched Chile getting beaten 6-1 by Brazil so some sort of kosmisch vengeance has been exercised on me for doubting the UR link.

― jim, Sunday, 8 July 2007 02:41 (eighteen years ago)

anyway, got some new tunes today. Dusty Kid's "Psika" is pretty nice Bodzin-esque techno but with more shine and less foreboding, and the newish Bodzin/Romboy track "Callisto" is also really excellent-- regal and catchy per usual.

― the table is the table, Sunday, 8 July 2007 02:43 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, after listening a bit more, jim, i realize that you're right, for the most part. it's just that a lot of the bass parts and a few of the beats (esp. at the tracks' beginnings) are very UR. otherwise, the Tuss stuff is pretty much different.

― the table is the table, Sunday, 8 July 2007 02:46 (eighteen years ago)

have a listen to the new Bodzin/Romboy 'Calisto' - sounds fab

― pshrbrn, Tuesday, 10 July 2007 11:34 (eighteen years ago)

I believe I've actually heard Phil's track at his DJ gig in Chicago, but I couldn't pick it out of the bunch despite shameless trainspotting. Now we wait to see if anyone has the gumption to leak it (though I rather hope no one does).

I've really been liking Sydenham's remix of 'Rainbow Delta', the Fauna Flash remix of Stereotyp Ronan posted the other day, and that Tuss EP.

― littlewhiteearbuds, Tuesday, 10 July 2007 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

yeah that sydenham mix beats the original in my opinion. it is also PERFECT for driving on the highway under overcast skies, as i found out today.

hmm, i'm just now hearing that haze/villalobos 'free your mind' tune. good! anyone else notice that the 'zu fruh' sample? it's that weird bouncy synth noise. i've always wanted to use that song as a base for something more but i guess ricardo beat me to it.

― lfam, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 03:51 (eighteen years ago)

oh i guess it stops after 3 minutes

― lfam, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 03:52 (eighteen years ago)

Der Geist In Der Muschel, now thats a great sample

― ☪, Thursday, 19 July 2007 12:47 (eighteen years ago)

more new ricardo goodness: his remix of Innersphere's Phunk is genius, in many ways the most straightforward thing he's done in a long while, super functional. i need to start paying attention to intacto because the last few things i've heard have been great. 2000 and One has a ton of really strong remixes out right now as well (eulberg and lazy fat people in particular).

also, it's a bit early to mention, but cadenza 20 -- double EP from that romanian dude petre (partner of raresh and rhadoo, whose names seem to be everywhere these days) is going to flip your freaking lids. at least it did mine.

and creme1, thanks!

― pshrbrn, Thursday, 19 July 2007 14:46 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, time for some recommendations (from you to me). Most of the year (although I really just compiled the list to see something of a sound trend) I've really been feeling the following tracks and I guess neo-deep kinda sounds, but I need to know what I'm missing.

Oracy - Mind Dance/Life Source 12" (Mojuba) (this one is just WOW)
John Daly - Sky Dive (Plak) (thanks Ronan)
The Mole - Jingover (Wagon Repair)
Scott Grooves - The Journey Collection 2x12" re-press (Scott Grooves)
Mountain People - Mountain 003 12" (Mountain People) (thanks again Ronan)
Henrik Schwarz - Walk Music 12" (Moodmusic)

I know there are more. I've liked nearly everything related to Solomun and Diynamic. I just recently stumbled up Sven Weisemann and Brendon Moeller and am really liking what I'm hearing. Naturally I've loved the new Theo P, Omar-S, and Moodymann releases. The Soulphiction album from last year has grown on me a good bit too. I've also really liked some more tech-y tracks like El Carlitto's "Mood", Sian's "Stegosaurus", and a handful of Bodzin tracks, particularly "Daytona Beach". But I'm really interested in hearing more of the new "deep" stuff that has a similar feel to the list above (assuming your ears hear the same feel mine do). Take my hand now and guide me.

― matt2, Thursday, 19 July 2007 15:38 (eighteen years ago)

the new John Daly, Mesa, is INCREDIBLE. A side of Cabanna Fever by Sven Weiesemann (on Mojuba, like the Oracy) possibly his best yet. more people need to get wise to Oracy, his 12" from last year was amazing too. Mojuba's profile does seem to be slowly rising...

quick list (none of these are minimal in the slightest):

Bovill - Differential 12" (Meanwhile) for more Sven Weissemann type stuff -- really solid productions
Jus-Ed - Some Shit 12" (Underground Quality)
Patrice Scott - Beyond Deep 12" (Sistrum)
Scott Ferguson - Walden Park EP 12" (Deep Vibes)
DJ Qu & David S. - To Eaches Own EP 12" (Strength Music)
R.aH - Fall Of Justice 12" (Morphine Doser)

that's off the top of my head so more later maybe.

― resolved, Thursday, 19 July 2007 17:01 (eighteen years ago)

Aardvarck - Well, Well, Well 12" (Rush Hour). not typical a'varck style at all -- disco re-edits, huge tip of the hat to Theo on side A, B like a sunnier Soundstream.

also on Rush Hour, I've really enjoyed parts of their massive Proper's A'dam Family Series... this one Amersterdam DJ I'd never heard of before (San Proper) collaborating with a different person who I've never heard of on each 12" (are they all just him?)

― resolved, Thursday, 19 July 2007 17:05 (eighteen years ago)

oh, and finally Move D - Got Thing 12" (Philpot) and his Workshop 12" (Workshop) are both ESSENTIAL. Got Thing more unique, the Workshop one him doing Detroit house style tracks... super fat A side

― resolved, Thursday, 19 July 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)

move d has been great this year. is anyone feeling modern love records at all? i really like the move d & claro intellecto releases, and the echospace releases, although a different kind of deepness are pretty cool.

― creme1, Thursday, 19 July 2007 17:14 (eighteen years ago)

the Echospaces are nice ambient. if we're going there, the CV313 Dimensional Space 12" (on Echospace) is really good.

― resolved, Thursday, 19 July 2007 17:15 (eighteen years ago)

Yes we can certainly go there. I've quite liked the recent Deepchord-related stuff. Thanks for all the recommendations resolved. I think I may have some of the Move D stuff floating around on the hard drive at home. I'll have to give it a listen if so.

― matt2, Thursday, 19 July 2007 17:38 (eighteen years ago)

listen to "acid" by move d immediately

― creme1, Thursday, 19 July 2007 17:56 (eighteen years ago)

oh and the break sl release "trombone" on philpot that ronan tips way upthread is essential

― creme1, Thursday, 19 July 2007 18:06 (eighteen years ago)

Oh yes, that Break SL should've been in my original list above. It's a great one. If I've got acid at home, I'll give it a listen. Thanks creme1.

― matt2, Thursday, 19 July 2007 18:11 (eighteen years ago)

I love Trombone, kind of bleak but earthy in the Cassy fashion. Half Hawaii's Mir Nichts is one of my favourtites this year. I would like to hear some neo-deep records using that kind of acoustic sound and tricksiness.

― Alex xy, Thursday, 19 July 2007 18:49 (eighteen years ago)

yeah "mir nichts" is awesome. the breakdown is so industrial!

― creme1, Thursday, 19 July 2007 19:10 (eighteen years ago)

and the soul capsule on perlon is absolutely sublime (& deep obviously). ford & melchior smacks it once again!

― creme1, Thursday, 19 July 2007 19:14 (eighteen years ago)

(speaking of baby ford, my friend found a copy of his cover of "children of the revolution" by t rex. it is fucking funny, and the sleeve art made me nauseous: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=53773)

Sten's new isht on Dial is pretty nice. dunno how i feel about the lawrence remix on it yet, but the two originals...a +, if not on the dancefloor, at least in the bedroom.

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 01:10 (eighteen years ago)

I have descended so far into nerd-ery that I buy every Dial release that comes out now. The Lawrence remix of Sten doesn't do much for me, but the originals are choice head-nodding material.

A few things I'm *really* feeling right now: Mark August "Old Joy", Ripperton's re-work of Beanfield's "Tides", Brendon Moeller "Jazz Space" and a bunch of Delsin things that I overlooked for a long time.

― JefferyMac, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:24 (eighteen years ago)

yup, i've started buying every dial, too, but haven't picked up the sten release yet. hurray for nerd-ery!

― tricky, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 22:42 (eighteen years ago)

right now i'm very down with all that, tho i must admit after a few months of constant play, i occasionally 'skip' over my 'Tides' remixes.

also, i won't front and say that i like ripperton's better. CC's gets my vote.

― the table is the table, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 05:08 (eighteen years ago)

the "version" in ewan pearson's fabric is my favorite for sure.

― tricky, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 05:14 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah that's one of the best bits of that mix, perhaps the best.

I also love Damian Lazarus's "Tides"/"Nia" mash-up.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 05:23 (eighteen years ago)

the 'version' that luciano played during his live set at cielo was the most brilliant i've ever heard it... i sort of want THAT version.

― the table is the table, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 05:29 (eighteen years ago)

i bet that was good.

i did the exact same overlay thing with the cc remix of "tides" and "clonk" by sweet exorcist in a mix about 2 years ago. i love how flexible the "tides" remix is.

― tricky, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 05:34 (eighteen years ago)

truly one of those tracks that has taken on a life of its own.

― tricky, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 05:35 (eighteen years ago)

the somfay remix of differnet's "caring arms" uses the field's stutter/skip, though to far more genuinely sublime effect.

― jermainetwo, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 17:18 (eighteen years ago)

Jona's "Acid & Dust" is massive. It's like Jerome Sydenham's recent remixes, only with a really pronounced UK garage feel to the percussion.

I'm hoping to see him play next week.

― Tim F, Thursday, 26 July 2007 12:21 (eighteen years ago)

can we talk about 'canopolis' by krause duo? it's all stumbling oom-cha beat and nonchalant sideways lounge sax, they kind of sound like they're happening in two entirely different worlds and yet they fit perfectly. is anything else they've done this good?

(can't allow the minimal thread to fall off new answers!)

― c sharp major, Sunday, 5 August 2007 11:20 (eighteen years ago)

A bit more minimal techno than minimal house, but Tadeo's "Reflection Nebula 056n," off his Cosmos EP for Apnea, is a sublime slice of post-Plastikman creeping beats. A bit like Sleeparchive, but somehow richer and fuller. It may sound quiet on your stereo but I played it out this weekend and it sounds absolutely massive on a club system.

― pshrbrn, Sunday, 5 August 2007 11:55 (eighteen years ago)

Tadeo is awesome - his Granate/Granada 12" from last year was amazing but slept on i thought, or at least i never heard it mentioned or played anywhere. and his track on Luciano's SciFiHiFi was a standout for me too.

― jabba hands, Sunday, 5 August 2007 12:14 (eighteen years ago)

That Tadeo track is wonderful! Has to be one of the most hypnotic pieces of music I've heard lately. Tadeo is truly amazing, easily one of my favorite producers. Granate/Granada 12" from last year was amazing oh yeah. . .

To return to slightly older news, I happened to download a Sweet Decay by Gabriel Ananda, as I just chose something fairly arbitrarily to download, and yeah, is the rest of Bambusbeats like this? I've only heard Lamakova, but this is really making me understand the attention given to him.

― mehlt, Monday, 6 August 2007 17:43 (eighteen years ago)

I recently bought this Damian Lazarus / DJ T mix on a whim, and I really like it.

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/276146-01.htm

Lazarus seems to have come out of his "Get Lost" dirgy / dark period, and the whole thing just feels quite fresh. Since I don't keep up with vinyl releases, I was wondering: is this a "hit" packed selection, or is some of the stuff here unexpected?

― paulhw, Monday, 6 August 2007 17:53 (eighteen years ago)

his Granate/Granada 12" from last year was amazing but slept on i thought, or at least i never heard it mentioned or played anywhere.

Hawtin used it to good effect on the DE9 mix he did for Mixmag last year.

― smn, Monday, 6 August 2007 20:01 (eighteen years ago)

mehlt, if you like 'sweet decay' then you are bound to like the rest of bambusbeats - it'd be well worth your money. also, don't say no to stream of consciousness/shake ready either. ananda is one of my absolute favourites at the moment - i love that jungle vibe!

I must say, with quite an appetite created by Vocalcity which has constantly been more than underwhelmed (well, at least for me) by post-Vocalcity Luomo, it's good to see Sasu Ripatti is making really good dance music, as judged by the Uusitalo track posted on resident advisor.

Also, Ed Davenport - Eyespeak, I find to be quite good, it just further proves Liebe Detail really doesn't kid around. The day I hear something that isn't really good. . .

incidently, today i received word re Transitions 3, at the end of the PR for the new John Digweed set, there is the following added :

The finished version of T3 will also feature a second disc containing a brand new exclusive 25-minute track from the minds of John and Nick Muir

so, is this the death of the extended minimal track, or a piece groundbreaking music.
anyone heard it yet ?

― mark e, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 20:18 (eighteen years ago)

huh, kinda funny-- the clips of Magic M that I'd heard before made it sound much more massive, but of course, that was *live*, so i'm sure the bass was kicked up a million notches. anyway, great tune, thanks for pointing out that youtube bit.

― tricky, Saturday, 18 August 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

yeah when I was looking for a digital download store that had it (thank you Kompakt) I found lots of blog posts whinging about his Mutek performance, most of which also jizzed about Gui Boratto (and spoke of how flammable their straw bodies were)

― Ronan, Saturday, 18 August 2007 19:49 (eighteen years ago)

well, boratto also tore it up that night and there was a very large pill-taking contingent in the place which pretty much defined the vibe feeding right into his sound. i think jichael mackson was just out of place in the line-up. he would've fit right in with the mole and cobblestone who played the previous night. still he was one of the highlights of the evening for me.

"the grass is always greener" is definitely incredible. i'm surprised that no one has said a thing about the pitched-down bob ross innit.

http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/pc/image/article/699/699819/bob-ross-the-joy-of-painting-20060403115238486.jpg
he's minimalicious!

― BleepBot, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:57 (eighteen years ago)

Does anyone know what the backwards guitar at the end is sampled from? At first I thought it was Chris Isaak, ha, but probably not, and yes, it does sound like he directly samples Maurizio.

I love how his tracks are all over the place, and still can work so well, be it constantly fluctuating filters throughout, or that in under 10 minutes he can put together what sounds like a few different tracks. His Ahck remix for instance: always in flux, but still keeping the tension that - rather that aiming at reaching a peak - creates something new.

and I for one disagree with all those gui boratto set naysayers.

― mehlt, Monday, 20 August 2007 22:07 (eighteen years ago)

i'm virtually certain it's wicked game.

his EP on Phictiv is one of my favourites of the decade

i hadn't heard this before, but... wow.

― toby, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 04:26 (eighteen years ago)

that backwards guitar sample in "the grass is always greener" is definitely from "wicked games," it becomes clear towards the very end.

― later arpeggiator, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 04:58 (eighteen years ago)

'Grass Is Greener' reminds me a little of some tracks by the Field in the way that the sample is made clear for a brief moment towards the end.

Bob Ross IS minimalicious! Rene Breitbarth actually has a track called 'Bob Ross' which also samples him at great length.

― Bee En Juan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 06:52 (eighteen years ago)

Anyone round here partial to Kollektiv Turmstrasse?

New one on Connaisseur is pretty deep.

Tristesse.

― Siah Alan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 09:58 (eighteen years ago)

yeah I like them. I like the b-side on that one a little more maybe.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 09:58 (eighteen years ago)

I love "Bob Ross"! The best thing Rene Breitbarth has done I reckon.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 09:59 (eighteen years ago)

The bass on the B-side is pretty intense, I could see that one going down well as a early on, pick up the pace kind of tune.

― Siah Alan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 10:04 (eighteen years ago)

I'm almost to the point where I'll check out anything on Connaisseur, sight unseen.

The other thing been getting my attention is an unsigned producer, Busy Face.

I think you know him too Ronan.

Have you heard his track, the Pianist?

― Siah Alan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 10:10 (eighteen years ago)

Ah yes Jacob, yes he is doing good stuff, especially considering he's only just started at it.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 10:16 (eighteen years ago)

Growing at pretty steady rate, I'd say.

I think he just put one of the new ones on his Myspace.

http://www.myspace.com/busyface

He got Ableton like a month ago, wonder what would happen if he had a copy of Logic to learn.

― Siah Alan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 10:18 (eighteen years ago)

yep 'the grass is always greener' is definitely him fucking around with M5...

― resolved, Sunday, 26 August 2007 12:07 (eighteen years ago)

I got this maybe 2 years ago on a CDR- there were 4 tracks, including one that was 22 minutes long, has that also come out? It sounded too much like live&improvised electronic jamming but in retrospect it's kinda Villalobosily neverending.

― blunt, Sunday, 26 August 2007 12:16 (eighteen years ago)

sounds like the Phictiv one, the A of that is about 22 mins.

― resolved, Sunday, 26 August 2007 12:29 (eighteen years ago)

No I'm not talking about Breitling Orbiter 8. It does the same kind of thing, only in a weaker or more diffuse way.

― blunt, Sunday, 26 August 2007 12:31 (eighteen years ago)

i danced my ass off to samim - heater this weekend...anyone else keen on the synth accordian? ha

― emma cleveland, Sunday, 26 August 2007 17:03 (eighteen years ago)

slightly overplayed, that one

― ☪, Sunday, 26 August 2007 17:32 (eighteen years ago)

even before its released...overplayed.
cant win with you guys.

― emma cleveland, Sunday, 26 August 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

it's been released
that's not a synth accordion, it's a swiped sample
also, it's awful. sounds like something they'd play at the nightclub in butlins.

― resolved, Sunday, 26 August 2007 21:13 (eighteen years ago)

"also, it's awful. sounds like something they'd play at the nightclub in butlins."

These two sentences do not necessarily correspond. I've managed to only hear it once and it does sound great - partly because it could be played in a dodgy nightclub. I hear the spirt of "Hot Hot Hot" and "Get Get Down" in it.

― Tim F, Sunday, 26 August 2007 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

doop

― resolved, Sunday, 26 August 2007 22:47 (eighteen years ago)

blunt, i think that is the Breitling Orbiter 8 record you're talking about there. really good, just bought it myself on beatport.

anyway, "heater" is very irritating. can't do it.

― the table is the table, Monday, 27 August 2007 00:10 (eighteen years ago)

Yes Doop! Doop was such a great record.

― Tim F, Monday, 27 August 2007 03:09 (eighteen years ago)

I must repeat myself.. I have had the Orbiter vinyl before distro, which was done from an office just below mine. This is a CDR I got from Crowdpleaser, who got it from JM presumably at a party, a while ago. The new tracks mentioned here are on it, plus that looong ass one which is a bouncy, multiple kickdrum industrial Villalobos-like affair noticeably different from Tee Trinken Im Braunen Salon.

― blunt, Monday, 27 August 2007 06:48 (eighteen years ago)

"Heater" might win (lose?) for my least favorite track of the year.

On the other hand, I'm quite into Raz Ohara's "Whitmey Na" and um... Jeff Mills compilations.

― littlewhiteearbuds, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 05:39 (eighteen years ago)

heater is way cool

― The Macallan 18 Year, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 06:17 (eighteen years ago)

I like Heater a lot, it's fun

probably old news on this thread (I haven't kept up 100%) but Kaos - Panopeeps is killing me lately

― dmr, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 18:50 (eighteen years ago)

i would like to say that Adam Beyer's "China Girl" and "Ask Yourself" are excellent!

― the table is the table, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 01:13 (eighteen years ago)

'panopeeps' = jam. the remix is good too!

hahaha 'doop', omg.

― haitch, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 01:56 (eighteen years ago)

oh, wow, sorry blunt i wasn't reading carefully before.

― the table is the table, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 03:49 (eighteen years ago)

In other news, Lady Judy by Fuckpony has proven to be an interesting listen.

Kind of like fun-house (or at least hall of mirrors) house, what with it's supposed borrowing of parts of Flash by Green Velvet (the entire thing is really Green Velvety now that I think of it) and the filtered vocals, which I find a bit annoying - as they kind of cut through rather than blend into the track. Could this, after R U OK start a trend in altered-state-of-mind-at-a-party story depicted by means of filtered vocal tracks? Either way, its a very good track, kind of always changing, interesting use of effects, and seriously jacking rhythms etc.

― mehlt, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 15:28 (eighteen years ago)

the remix is good too!

hmm I'll have to listen again. both that one and the Von Stroke remix of Heater seemed to strip off a lot of what I liked about the original tracks.

― dmr, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

Saw Jamie Jones at TDK on Sunday and he was fantastic! I've got the RA podcast and the track on Cocoon G and love both - what else by him should I check out?

― tpp, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 17:19 (eighteen years ago)

The Freak N Chic releases are his best imo. And "Panama City" on Crosstown Rebels to a slightly lesser extent.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 19:03 (eighteen years ago)

Justin Martin's "Nightowl" is sounding pretty damn good (it's got sounds like Jean Jacque Perry's "Popcorn").

― Romeo Jones, Friday, 14 September 2007 03:50 (eighteen years ago)

great new stuff, almost all discovered through modyfier:

solomun - keep control (panthu du prince remix)
lawrence - pond
stewart walker - fernbank '91 (robag wruhme remix)(this is luvverly orbital-esque ambient house)
touane - chamber
davk dk - sweet yellow
luciano - fourges et sabres (have we talked about this elsewhere?)
pan pot - crank

― jermainetwo, Monday, 17 September 2007 03:07 (eighteen years ago)

recent mini faves:

duoteque - logo
exercise one - dark star
g.ananda - doppelwhipper (supermayer mix)
pascal feos - ausklang (yapacc & good groove mix)
minilogue - inca
bermuda - galaxy race (future beat investigators mix)

― Dominique, Monday, 17 September 2007 04:21 (eighteen years ago)

Tadeo, "Fractal" is quite a tune.

― littlewhiteearbuds, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 16:28 (eighteen years ago)

I like Fractal too.

however, wtf is the choral piece in Stefan Goldmann's "Lunatic Fringe", because THAT IS AWESOME

― Dominique, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 22:49 (eighteen years ago)

still can't get my head around the appeal of Goldmann's productions...apart from "Sleepy Hollow".

― Ronan, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 23:00 (eighteen years ago)

this one is pretty haunting and magic sounding -- most of which is done via the choral music, but he does do some cool synthy effects (esp at the end) that nudge it into cosmic dance areas.

― Dominique, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 23:06 (eighteen years ago)

Ronan don't you like his remix of IT's "Women in Toilet" - that one is a mega favourite tune for me.

I liked your HIAF post about the current chunky psychedelic house sound - a la Matt John's "Soulkaramba" and Ed Davenport's "Eyespeak" (these two go together really well actually).

I was thinking that these tracks in particular doesn't really remind me of Villalobos that much (not his productions anyway, yes for his DJ sets - same applies for Luciano) but perhaps more closely the trippier sections of the Fuckpony album?

Also both remind me of Ewan Pearson's recent comment that the unifying factor in German dance for the last year has been Wild Pitch.

Anyways, loving this sound at the moment.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 02:49 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah actually perhaps Fuckpony is a good reference point, especially cos Samim, when not in slightly wearing thin bumping mode, has also done some stuff that fits this bracket, like "Blackdeath" off his album, and his remix of David K's Three Arches Part 2 on Tsuba.

Also the Petre Inspirescu 12 on Cadenza, forthcoming, and the new Arpiar, from Romania, are the greatest music in the world right now. I mean, really mindblowing. There are a clutch of Romanian guys that are going to be really huge.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 17:51 (eighteen years ago)

the raresh mix on the cocoon ibiza comp is really nice.

― tricky, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 18:43 (eighteen years ago)

this one

― tricky, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 18:44 (eighteen years ago)

I love Rhadoo's "Going Like You".

― Ronan, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 18:50 (eighteen years ago)

I'm quite like Matthias Heilbronn's 'The Jungle Dub EP' on Poker Flat as well - I pretty much bought it just 'cos of its name! "Do It Right (PFR Mix)" kinda fits in this trend we're talking about.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 23:19 (eighteen years ago)

Also I keep forgetting to mention Tolga Fidan's absolutely insane "Venice"! One of my favourites of the year. There's your chunky psychedelic house right there.

― Tim F, Thursday, 20 September 2007 00:03 (eighteen years ago)

Ooh, Venice is a really good one! Him and Onur Ozur are doing wonders, especially Onur's Red Cabaret EP from early in the year which is brilliant. The way they take in what I assume to be more traditional Turkish sounds and music and make all over the place bangers is amazing.

That being said, noticing Paul Ritch hasn't had mention here I will do so: paul ritch, paul ritch, paul ritch. I only learned of him through Luciano's siloclub set from not long ago, but that short time has proved really fruitful.

― mehlt, Thursday, 20 September 2007 01:48 (eighteen years ago)

little late, but recent ewan pearson remix comp has me hearing how incredible the cortney tidwell remix is

― Dominique, Thursday, 20 September 2007 02:00 (eighteen years ago)

oh yeah: paul ritch! i'm pretty much buying him on sight right now, and playing the hell out of all those records.

― pshrbrn, Thursday, 20 September 2007 02:07 (eighteen years ago)

Vakant has really sidestepped minimal with aplomb. Also really like the recent Mathias Kaden.

― Ronan, Thursday, 20 September 2007 08:01 (eighteen years ago)

And yeah, Paul Ritch's Fumakilla is one of my favourites at the moment. Also he did a really nice remix on a label called Paradigma, I think.

― Ronan, Thursday, 20 September 2007 08:02 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah the recent Kaden on Vakant is great! Also liking the sound of his remix of Pheek 'En Legere Suspension'. Good drums.

Put me down for Goldmann's 'lunatic fringe' as well, I'm yet to hear the whole thing but really enjoyed his first release on Macro..

― Bee En Juan, Thursday, 20 September 2007 10:01 (eighteen years ago)

― resolved, Friday, 21 September 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

i feel like i'm drowning in a sea of good minimal lately.
more new faves:

stimming - funkworm (!!!)
adam freeland - silverlake pills (gui boratto rmx)
arto mwambe - noh ngamebo
echologist - faith (tokyo mix)
touane - the action painter (this guy seems to be one to watch, has a real knack for dynamics, groove and texture in perfect balance)
choenyi - submucosal (aptly titled.)
pig & dan - cured (i might tire of this rather soon, but c'mon, minimal with cure samples..)
solomun - danny from the block (remute rmx) - this is almost as shamelessly stirring as the freeland track above)
estroe - living apart together (i'd previously only heard 'driven', this is equally moody and expansive)
laudert - freies gelaeut (here's yr oppressive psychedelic vortex stuff again)
pan pot - dog's dinner (they keep cranking 'em out, yet each one with somehow yet deeper sub bass, sparklier fx, and reliable 3 note hooks)
sian - zelda (yet another one that starts off with some dark atmospherics and micro-textures and then builds to an emotional climax. i guess i'm just a sucker for this. kompakt ruined me.)

speaking of kompakt, someone should have told me about
thomas mayer - sweet harmony
from total 7, and
dj koze - mariposa
from total 8. both beauts.

― jermainetwo, Monday, 24 September 2007 04:11 (eighteen years ago)

wow those melchior samples are sounding great!! they're so expansive and evolved sounding, but with his trademark beats-n-bass.

the dj koze that's been doing it for me is "all the time" on philpot.

i am a touane fan, too.

― tricky, Monday, 24 September 2007 04:25 (eighteen years ago)

also just catching up on the mountain people releases which are very nice and make me think "post-minimal" rather than "minimal". it definitely sounds like change is in the air. like those melchior samples, a lot of tracks are sounding more expansive and more modern than retro-styled which is a very good thing.

― tricky, Monday, 24 September 2007 04:34 (eighteen years ago)

speaking of the mountain people, this mix by them is just fantastic...

― resolved, Monday, 24 September 2007 10:05 (eighteen years ago)

maybe more techy, but Len Faki 'oddyssee I' has kind of been doing it for me as of recent.

and wow, this might be my first post in almost a month!

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 07:32 (eighteen years ago)

also the ink & needle remix of tropical heights

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 07:32 (eighteen years ago)

and the new digitaline.

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:02 (eighteen years ago)

yes. the new digitaline is my favourite cadenza release for a while. and the original is actually superior to the luciano remix!

― r1o natsume, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 00:07 (eighteen years ago)

probably should go on the kompakt thread, but the Sog releases are something of a landmark for minimal... perhaps some of the only records that truly deserve the 'minimal' tag.

― Jack Savidge, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 00:40 (eighteen years ago)

the sog records are in a long and glorious tradition of reinhard voigt turning on his sequencer and going to lunch.

― ☪, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 01:03 (eighteen years ago)

i agree about the superiority of the original Digitaline mix, but i think that Luciano's take is really insanely interesting...all of those out-of-phase handclaps and buried synths!

― the table is the table, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 01:29 (eighteen years ago)

swimmingly deep minimal slo-mo fever-dream track of the year: mattias aguayo's "argento"!

yeah, everyone should go to pedro's myspace and listen to the samples from his new cadenza ep ASAP. i was a little disappointed by his track on the recent a:rpi:ar release compared to like "de bou" (the rhadoo track however is great) but this shit is just amazing. speaking of rhadoo, i'm loving his remix of michal ho "takeaway". there's something charmingly lo-fi about these tracks, like they were made on amiga's or something

― r1o natsume, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:04 (eighteen years ago)

Mitch is that one of the tracks on the Allez Allez mix? I love both of them so much - up there with the last three tracks on Are You Really Lost for me.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:06 (eighteen years ago)

Also Ronan I finally heard your mix for Modifyer - it's brilliant! Nice to finally hear "Dark Soldier" too. So very Kompakt though ("Dark Soldier", not your mix)!

― Tim F, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:11 (eighteen years ago)

ditto Tim F's question? that mix is so sweet, but is there something else new by him floating around out there?

― vmcjr, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:19 (eighteen years ago)

tim - yeah, it is, though i got it from his 'night at the tilehouse' ep (the rest of which sounds pretty great too)

― jermainetwo, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:23 (eighteen years ago)

So very Kompakt though ("Dark Soldier"

It does kinda fit in with "Privat"/"Wurz + Blosse"/"Kisskisskiss"/"Rising Sun," doesn't it?

Recent Audision 12" also very good. They still have the most perplexing excellence-to-chatter ratio.

Also loving all things Cadenza and Aguayo.

― Andy K, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:37 (eighteen years ago)

yeah true of Audision, and Tensnake too. Some woeful crap amidst a few amazing tracks.

Cadenza is on fire lately.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:46 (eighteen years ago)

I really liked the b-side on the Alejandro Vivanco 12" on Cadenza as well.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:48 (eighteen years ago)

btw thanks a lot Tim about the Modyfier. It was done in a real hurry in the end but glad you like it!

― Ronan, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:49 (eighteen years ago)

Just lots of great tracks and there's a double transition near the start (i.e. the mix in and the mix out of the same song) which is one of my favourite transitions in ages. I'll have to work out which tracks I'm talking about.

So, the Matt O'Brien Remix of Acid Bells is a real banger. As the original functions much on the tense, dark moodiness this hits it back with homerun ,kind of Robert Hood-ish strength.

The Mole's remix of Stephen Beaupre that came out earlier in the year is great too.

I got overexcited about the Petre Inspirescu Cadenza and consequently haven't been able to focus on any other releases in the past week or two. Frustratingly it is still not out!

― resolved, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 13:23 (eighteen years ago)

http://media-logik.de/something/STL_Something_PromoMix2007.mp3

this mix has pretty much every laubner house track ever in it...

― resolved, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 14:21 (eighteen years ago)

Bruno Pronsato's got a new album coming out in December (not sure which label), and it's definitely going to be amongst my top 10 albums of the year. Ricardoriffic, but still very much his own thing. By far Bruno's best work yet...

― pshrbrn, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 17:30 (eighteen years ago)

thanks for the linkage to the STL mix.

that is good to hear about pronsato. yet another american who defected to berlin.

have you heard the new melchior philip?

― tricky, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 17:36 (eighteen years ago)

Onur Ozer's/Onur Oezer's/Oum Kalsoum's Kasmir, tracks 1-8.

― Andy K, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 23:28 (eighteen years ago)

I saw Bruno Pronsato back in the summer (twice actually) and I'm kind of certain he was coming on to me. . .

Would people here say that his stuff requires breaking in to let it grow on you, because I've found his stuff to be a bit on the bone-dry blip techno side of things for a melody enthusiast like myself, but just recently "there's galaxies better" suddenly made sense.
Did he do any collaborations with Ricardo? I know he was supposed to do some with Jeff Milligan which I personally would be eager to hear.

Oh yeah, and all of the Concentricity Remixes (of Stewart Walker) are worth a listen, the Touane and Jeff Samuel ones are pretty great.

― mehlt, Thursday, 11 October 2007 02:40 (eighteen years ago)

hello? repeat has been generally pretty great so far. can't wait for the buno pronsato record. the last half hawaii release was the bomb. i think someone on this very thread helpfully described his sound as "11am berlin music" or something to that effect

― r1o natsume, Friday, 12 October 2007 15:24 (eighteen years ago)

the new cassy release on perlon is amazing and totally 808-tastic as ever

― r1o natsume, Sunday, 14 October 2007 07:01 (eighteen years ago)

I think Bruno's new stuff is really leaps beyond anything he's done yet - I've found a lot of it smart and intriguing but sometimes too bone-dry and blippy, exactly. But this new one is suprisingly lush, almost psychedelic in places. He was supposed to do some collabs with Ricardo and Zip but they didn't come about -- there is a one-sided, like 14-minute long 12" coming out, though, that's a collab w/ Bruno, Sammy Dee and Fumiya Tanaka, a name that keeps popping up more and more.

this year for house & techno just keeps getting more and more ridiculously good. this is my hardwax order i placed yesterday, and it could have been a LOT longer:

Non Standard Productions 003 / D 12"
Odd Machine: We Brought Our Friends --> a collab between Tobias Freund & Ricardo

Planet E 65293 / US 12"
Attias: Analysis

Bootsound America +8 / Euro 12"
Various Artists: Richie Hawtin Remixes

Sähkö 22 / Euro CD
NSI: Plays Non Standards

Deep Vibes 003 / D 12"
Sascha Dive: The Basic Collective EP (Part 2 Of 3)

Workshop 003 / D 12"
Kassem Mosse: EP

Rekids RKDS 001 / UK 12"
Radio Slave: No Sleep (Part Three) --> bonkers!~ like a heavier cobblestone jazz

Circus Company 022 / Euro 12"
Dop: Between The Blues EP --> unbelievably good, nôze guests on B-side

Adjunct 016 / D 12"
Various Artists: I Left My Heart In San Francisco --> kit clatyon & sutekh, plus dilo remix

Mental Groove Ltd. 018 / Euro 12"
Crowdpleaser & St. Plomb: 2006 Remixes II --> quenum killing it

Sunplay 007 / Euro 12"
The Selph: Fraerox EP

― pshrbrn, Sunday, 14 October 2007 14:20 (eighteen years ago)

love that Dop record!

― jabba hands, Sunday, 14 October 2007 14:26 (eighteen years ago)

Oooh, I'm excited for that Kit Clayton/Sutekh, and I like adjunct. I listened to a track of kit's last ep, which I think is the first thing he's release in ages, and it sounded, really, uhhh, electro in parts. Either way, I'm a fan of his and an enormous Sutekh fan so I can't wait.

― mehlt, Sunday, 14 October 2007 15:29 (eighteen years ago)

that new radio slave sounds like moodymann or something. i am a fan.

― haitch, Sunday, 14 October 2007 15:50 (eighteen years ago)

yeah it's really good.

― Ronan, Sunday, 14 October 2007 16:52 (eighteen years ago)

i think some of pronsato's early stuff is a bit too willfully complex. the grooves are there, but they are kind of sealed up. "my little pony" is a classic in my book though and i like some of the singles on hello? repeat (probably my favorite minimal label name) like "wade in the water, children". his more recent stuff seems to have really found a groove/balance.

i really liked your de:bug piece, philip. i almost bought that nsi album from hardwax yesterday, too. here's what i bought instead (not from hw)

A Mountain Of One : Collected Works
Matias Aguayo : A Night At The Tilehouse EP
Tony Allen : Kilode - Carl Craig Remixes
Kraftwerk : Aerodynamik / La Forme - Hot Chip Remixes
Murcof : Cosmos
Kevin Saunderson : History Elevate 1 - Inc Carl Craig Remix

that last one has the (great IMO) loco dice remix of bassline on the flip.

― tricky, Sunday, 14 October 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

i was thinking earlier today that it's about time for superlongevity 5.

― tricky, Sunday, 14 October 2007 19:00 (eighteen years ago)

kraftwerk's mix of "aerodynamik" is amazing, probably the best thing they've done yet.
can someone explain me the appeal of loco dice's "bassline" remix? it's not doing anything for me.

― pshrbrn, Monday, 15 October 2007 12:02 (eighteen years ago)

Tricky are you in Berlin at the moment?? We could catch up.

― Tim F, Monday, 15 October 2007 16:10 (eighteen years ago)

anyone in berlin for the watergate 5th bday in a week?

― resolved, Monday, 15 October 2007 16:43 (eighteen years ago)

I wanna hear this Radio Slave now. Is it available for download yet? Radio Slave has always been just on the verge of being exactly what I like, but still hasn't quite crossed over. But this new one sounds promising. I can't find it on Beatport or WhatPeoplePlay.

― matt2, Monday, 15 October 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

Just a random though (if you all will allow it). I was listening to this glorious collection...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5195BFJV9ML._SS500_.jpg

...this weekend and so much of it seems to fit right with what has been, to my ears, the sounds of 2007 from the production to the weird vocal stuff that has been popping up. I didn't have this thought before listening, but it struck me as very right now. Thanks for reading.

― matt2, Monday, 15 October 2007 18:49 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, and what ever happened with that Lucio Aquilina track "Magic M"? I downloaded some pretty rough rip of it from somewhere and it sounded great, but any clue what's going on with this?

― matt2, Monday, 15 October 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

norman nodge's release on dettmann's label (mdr003) is a beast. ominous builders just begging for the snare drop from the next track to set things off. 7.4 is just plain filthy.

― faso, Monday, 15 October 2007 19:03 (eighteen years ago)

i wanna hear the dettmann rmx of ellen allien.

i like the ld rmx of "bassline" because it's vernacular techno and because it has this woozy woozy momentum to it (like a lot his tracks do).

i'm about as far away from berlin as you can get, tim. i can only imagine the trouble i would get into there.

― tricky, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 05:04 (eighteen years ago)

i'll be there for the watergate 5th anniv party... just booked my ticket. (and then that friday i play w/ the modernist, uusitalo, magnum 38 and i think strobocop at maria... come out!)

― pshrbrn, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 15:05 (eighteen years ago)

ahem tho it's a bit old the newish Marcel Fengler on Ostgut is quite nice, esp. 'Playground.'

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 18:29 (eighteen years ago)

Is there another, non-Berlin Hardwax store Tricky? Or is it an internet thing?

The Loco Dice remix of Dennis Ferrer is probably my signature tune of 2007 - that perfect mix of deepness and wooziness.

OMG by the way just got back from amazing Ame/Dixon set, it was the business. They played the Fauna Flash remix of Stereotyp's "Keeping Me", the Maurice Fulton remix of "Love Endeavour", "Voodoo Ray", "You Used To Hold Me", a zillion Ame remixes... So anthemic.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 03:07 (eighteen years ago)

M.A.N.D.Y played the Son of Raw remix in Sydney last week and it blew my mind - first time i've heard it out and i never wanted it to end. amazing, amazing record.

― jabba hands, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 03:18 (eighteen years ago)

Oh my, that does sound like a perfect night out for me too Tim.

I am listening to "Border Times" off the new Mole release on Musique Risquee and good god if it isn't perfect. Thanks for the mention upthread r1o. It kind of reinforces my feeling that over his past three or four releases (counting Speicher 26) the Mole has very quietly become one of my favorite producers. I guess he doesn't immediately spring to mind (perhaps it's the very gradual release schedule), but looking back, I've really liked pretty much everything he's been doing.

Also, I'm listening to a couple Stephen Beaupre tracks I've got on the hard drive and really feeling them. Looks like I need to be paying closer attention to Musique Risquee. Any other recommendations?

― matt2, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 03:29 (eighteen years ago)

Kimono by Chic Miniature (on Musique Risquee) is one of my favourite tracks of this year, haven't heard the A side of that record though. Also not actually Musique Risquee but close enough, the recent Mossa track, Caraconcara is also really quite good.

And yes! The Mole is in fact really excellent.

― mehlt, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 03:52 (eighteen years ago)

yup, hardwax.com tim.

what is the lineup for the watergate anniversary thing? (not that i am going) i heard dixon play in san francisco and his set just reached this kind of stasis.

the mole won me over with his live sets at mutek.

― tricky, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 04:46 (eighteen years ago)

i'll come say hi on friday!

here's the line up:

Mainfloor: André Galluzzi (Taksi, Ostgut Ton), Zip (Perlon), Sammy Dee (Perlon) ,Matt John (Perlon)

Waterfloor (no idea how this will work): Sebo K. (Mobilee, Get Physical), Tom Clark (Highgrade), Jens Bond (Highgrade, Sender), Phage (Mobilee, Upon You), Daniel Dreier (Highgrade, Klang), Marcus Meinhardt (Upon You), Ruede Hagelstein (Upon You), Carsten Klemann (My My), Nick Höppner (My My), Lee Jones (My My), Fraenzen Texas (MTC), Mitja Prinz (Yes!), Dave Turov (CSM), Sebastian Wilck (Just, Watergate), Fortsch (Watergate), Robin Drimalski (Watergate)

A next step into history, an evening inspired on music, performances, visuals and dancers from the 20’s combined with electronical influences from this era. Club der visionaere will present this evening in cooperation with the Admirals palast, it became famous as a variety theater in the roaring 20’s for cabaret, variety acts and show theater.

Berlin in the 20’s, was a vibrant period, the centre piece of europe where film, music, art, performance and other art-forms flourished. Night life was blooming in the 20’s, radical ideas floated through the wild and exciting streets of Berlin.

The evening will be musically guided by live performances from Narod niki & his orchestra. With jitterbug dancers & visuals from the 20’s, the jitterbug ballroom will be taken to a next step. A journey from the past to the present and looking into the future. This evening will bring you back in time with new interpretations of the golden era. The time where people dressed up, where swing was king & the dancers jitterbug’d all night long.

wow, that watergate lineup is killer. i wonder who will be playing when the sun comes up.

and then narod niki though that description is not very enticing tbh. it is good to see "formal" dance involved as the latest twist (heh). they should fly merce cunningham over. hopefully someone will report back to RA or this thread or blogs or whatever!

― tricky, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 15:30 (eighteen years ago)

ame's remix of 'repeat' by etienne jaumet. wow!

the capricornesque snares on gabriel ananda's 'sync'.

ronan, we're playing panorama bar the week before you get there. a shame we'll miss each other.

― the table is the table, Saturday, 20 October 2007 23:22 (eighteen years ago)

Martin Buttrich's new single, "Hunter," is a bit lackluster IMO. It could easily blend in with a million faceless tech house tunes, even if the sound design is great.

― littlewhiteearbuds, Monday, 22 October 2007 16:37 (eighteen years ago)

Buttrich's lackluster stuff as of late hasn't really surprised me...

― the table is the table, Monday, 22 October 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

What you mean table? That you just don't expect much from him? I have to say that after being completely swept away by "Full Clip" last year, nothing much else he's done has stuck.

― matt2, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 15:30 (seventeen years ago)

that's what i mean. the b-side to full clip is pretty good, but otherwise, everything else i've heard from the dude is sort of...boring.

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 15:46 (seventeen years ago)

Vocal remix of "It's All True" 4 Ever.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 22:04 (seventeen years ago)

i love love love the odd machine record, thanks for the tip off philip. can't wait to hear the nsi album. what do people think of andomat 3000 & jan? they seem to be the most prolific producers in minimal at present, their new record continues this recent trend of theo parrish/moodyman style chunky minimal deepness as also heard in the mole and radioslave's recent releases.

― r1o natsume, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 22:24 (seventeen years ago)

and dinky's "horizontal". tell me more minimal bobbins in this style!

― r1o natsume, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago)

Try some Guillaime and the Coutu-Dumont's maybe?

I agree with the general consenus about Buttrich here, but one question. On Loco Dice tracks, around what percentage of what work is done by Martin himself? I've also been curious as to what the details of that were. Not that I really like Loco Dice all that much either, but the Son of Raw remix, as mentioned above is pretty mind-bending.

Ooooh, Superpitcher is playing here tonight, which is a pretty big name to throw onto a Tuesday night, and for $5, well, in Canada at least.

― mehlt, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:13 (seventeen years ago)

r1o, if you like Dinky check out Jambi, esp. his 12inch on her label (which I stupidly didn't buy) and his "Laws of Physics" 12inch.

Also the following:

2Raumwohnung - Melancholisch Schoen (Tobi Neumann Remix)
Dennis Ferrer - Son of Raw (Loco Dice Remix)
Dennis Ferrer - Transitions (Sasse Edit)
Mambotur - Vamos Viendo (Jay Haze Remix)
Michael Ho - Take Away
Daniel Stefanik - The Bells (Anja Schneider Remix)
Einzelkind - Maferefumeco

― Tim F, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:18 (seventeen years ago)

Also Mathias Kaden's "Myal" 12inch on Vakant, esp. the title track.

Speaking of Vakant, really looking forward to Onur Oezer's album!

― Tim F, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:40 (seventeen years ago)

Dennis Ferrer - Transitions (Sasse Edit)

so good.

― haitch, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 00:54 (seventeen years ago)

Really liking DOP's "Between The Blues" 12-inch.

I also picked up such a hoard of great and long-desired old records in Europe, including:
Dettinger - Tottentanz
V/A - Tombo (Schaeben/Voss/Kraml/Privat ep on Firm)
Jeff Bennett - Dub This!
Ada - Lovelace/And More
Monne Automne - Introducing Light & Sound
Ricardo Villalobos - 808 the BassQueen

― Tim F, Sunday, 28 October 2007 14:21 (seventeen years ago)

Does Cobblestone Jazz qualify as "minimal house" music? In any event, their debut disc, 23 Seconds, is really good on first listen. I already knew that some of their songs from the prior 12" -- e.g., India and Me, Dump Truck -- were great. The new songs (at least new to me) are almost as good, and the live tracks included on the disc are sometimes better than the studio versions, e.g., Hired Touch.

― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 28 October 2007 14:42 (seventeen years ago)

new Cio D'Or (some may remember her collab w/Gabriel Ananda "Lauschgoldengel") is *really* nice, and *ultra* minimal. I will use it to hypnotize downstairs neighbors.

― Dominique, Monday, 29 October 2007 22:10 (seventeen years ago)

it's funny, those were exactly my feelings about the cio d'or until i played it out... turns out it's a frigging monster! the long side, at least -- really big and bruising. one hell of a record.

― pshrbrn, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 13:14 (seventeen years ago)

new Dapayk Solo EP on Orac is great - creepy, deep & hypnotic

― jabba hands, Friday, 2 November 2007 02:46 (seventeen years ago)

One of many thank yous to Random Circuits for posting that Brendon Moeller mix, of which I've listened to about half of. Deep, dubby really relaxing, and all other redundant things I can thinks, not to mention it's mixed incredibly well.

After reading the Bruno Pronsato interview on Resident Advisor I'm really eager to hear his new album and also Thomas Melchior's. Jesus, too many fucking full lengths to keep track of.

― mehlt, Friday, 2 November 2007 02:53 (seventeen years ago)

<i>One of many thank yous to Random Circuits for posting that Brendon Moeller mix... </i>

And the same to you for putting me on to this. His track selection is superb and it's such a refreshing change to download a set today and hear someone who can actually mix.

Ta.

― smn, Friday, 2 November 2007 13:21 (seventeen years ago)

On another note, Will Saul is absolutely destroying me right now. I never really gave too much thought about him (even in spite of the fact that "Pause" from last January absolutely blew me away when I heard it, and it remains a definite top 5 of the year for me), I listened to Mbira (from 2005) a moment ago, and am now listening to the samples of his new album on the simple website, and my goodness, I am drowning in sound here, honestly some of the finest quality house I've heard these days.

― mehlt, Sunday, 4 November 2007 03:52 (seventeen years ago)

Martin Buttrich's new single, "Hunter," is a bit lackluster

Hunted, on the flip, is pretty fun though. But then I'm a sucker for any minimal track that drops in the breathy female vocals (see Brett Johnson/DJ Heather 'Everything's Electric Mike Shannon dub for another example).

― jergïns, Monday, 5 November 2007 01:37 (seventeen years ago)

<i>I agree with the general consenus about Buttrich here, but one question. On Loco Dice tracks, around what percentage of what work is done by Martin himself? I've also been curious as to what the details of that were.</i>

I have no real evidence to back this up, but if I had to guess, I would say Buttrich is responsible for about 95% with the rest making up Loco Dice's approval. Same with DJ-T and Booka Shade. Their personalities are far more important than their production skills, so why bother have any?

Another cheer for the Brendon Moeller mix, which is getting me through this morning.

Surprised no one has mentioned Roland Appel's remix of that Yellow Sox track. It's like someone grabbed the bag of tricks and dumped the majority into a tune... and yet it's still great. Decidedly unminimal but still rocking my world is Radio Slaves' remix of Len Faki's "My Black Sheep." Pounds dancers a few inches into the floor.

― littlewhiteearbuds, Monday, 5 November 2007 16:22 (seventeen years ago)

just a heads up that the dOP track featuring Noze, 'dopamen,' is up on my blog, deepmovements.blogspot.com .

agree with tim about the EP as a whole: really loving it.

― the table is the table, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 23:41 (seventeen years ago)

HOLY CRAP! Just look at this fucking paragraph from the Mutek Newsletter i just recieved:

MORE GREAT MUSIC ON THE WAY
Of course, the quality product won't stop there. In the coming year, the reinvigorated Musique Risquée will issue a series of exciting 12-inches. First up is the lead single off Guillaume's "Face à L'Est", "Les Gans", featuring a stellar Audio Werner remix on the B-side. Always eager to break new ground, the label will then drop a single by up-and-coming Toronto producer Knowing Looks (Jason Hopfner). Next, the reissue of Akufen's rare 2005 remix of Les Georges Leningrad's "Supa Doopa", remastered and repressed with the DJ's needs in mind. Musique Risquée will also release a series of singles under the "Roots and Wires" moniker, an undertaking spearheaded by world-class dub-techno wunderkind Deadbeat. Each edition in this series will feature one side for the techno-heads and one side for the dubsteppers. The label's album output will continue with a new collaborative effort by San Francisco glitch-dubbists Sutekh and Kit Clayton under the name of Pigeon Funk. And, of course, once it's finished we'll be releasing the Akufen album, the long-awaited follow-up to the highly acclaimed 2002 full-length "My Way".

It's like everything I like about music is exploding all at once.
Untill then I must attend to both M.A.N.D.Y. AND Thomas Brinkmann this weekend. Whew.

― mehlt, Friday, 9 November 2007 01:29 (seventeen years ago)

My, my, my that DOP track is great table.

agreed.

just got the tiger stripes remixes of ferrer's 'P 2 da J', quite into it. in fact, i've pretty much been into most of tiger stripes' work this year, esp. 'hooked'

― the table is the table, Friday, 9 November 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago)

I don't think i've liked anything of his I've heard so much as "Hooked" TBH. Liebe*Detail has a knack for drawing the best out of people.

― Tim F, Saturday, 10 November 2007 04:07 (seventeen years ago)

man that guillames album on musique risquee sounded great in the shop but i didn't buy it in the end. i'd like to add to the chorus of praise for the dop 12". also really enjoying the redshape remix of markus enochson's "red coffee", so anthemic!

― r1o natsume, Saturday, 10 November 2007 14:32 (seventeen years ago)

did we discuss "plastik" on this thread at all? i am listening to it right now and i love that it is this massive banger, but it is also one the hallmark sounds of 2007 where dance records could not decide if they wanted to be techno or house or 'minimal' or electro with all of the associated danger of sounding middlebrow or just kind of obvious and not exciting that entails. except "plastik" is so well-constructed and canonical/chameleonic-sounding that it sidesteps all of that.

― tricky, Saturday, 10 November 2007 19:43 (seventeen years ago)

okay, so...

here is a link to ferrer's p 2 da j remixed by tiger stripes.

is "drunken ballet" out on vinyl yet? it was slated for a sept release w/ a moritz von oswald remix, but that doesn't seem to have come to pass. interestingly, âme's "fiori" (also off the shut up & dance comp) IS out on vinyl, with a (slightly) more "playable" "club mix" on the flip.

― pshrbrn, Thursday, 15 November 2007 12:50 (seventeen years ago)

oops, sorry. I didn't see the skipped messages. by the way, i can't see why people bash "Techno Vocals". it's good clean fun if you ask me. and you guys must check out Chymera's Satura/Arabesque single. The b-side is a bomb! I'm not too big on proggish stuff, but this is super.

― Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr, Thursday, 15 November 2007 13:47 (seventeen years ago)

Thanks for the heads-up on "Fiori" Philip. I remember some mention of it being released on vinyl earlier in the year but pretty much assumed it just didn't happen. I will definitely be getting that one.

― matt2, Thursday, 15 November 2007 14:30 (seventeen years ago)

actually i didn't ever hear that it was gonna come out on vinyll, i was shocked to see it in the shop! i kind of love ostgut ton for their total lack of advance press...

― pshrbrn, Thursday, 15 November 2007 17:35 (seventeen years ago)

I only assumed it was from this post way upthread:

Hey Ronan, maybe you have a bit of influence - Ostgut have now decided to release the Ame track on vinyl...

i for one cannot understand the Techno Vocals hype. i find the track incredibly dull, tho the b-side is a bit better, admittedly.

i'm going through a big hardfloor phase right now, tho, so my ear might be kind of skewed.

― the table is the table, Thursday, 15 November 2007 20:57 (seventeen years ago)

Am I the only one on earth who doesn't think the whole dynamic/tigerstripes/solomun etc. faction isn't the best thing in the world? I've never found their stuff to ever be bad, but never really that good. I guess I can appreciate it carving out their own sound and avoiding being a faceless label/group of producers etc. but It still just doesn't sound good to me. I mean some of the stuff I have heard is in fact good, but nothing that has really excited me or made me want to further investigate them.

― mehlt, Thursday, 15 November 2007 21:17 (seventeen years ago)

except for Tiger Stripes, i tend to agree, mehlt. solomun is highly overrated, imho.

that ziggy kinder is really funny - i played it in a big room in barcelona a few weeks back and i was afraid the spanish vox would be too cheesy, but it went over well.

mountain people = serafin and... someone, not sure who. the new one is really fucking lovely.

― pshrbrn, Monday, 19 November 2007 22:15 (seventeen years ago)

not exactly minimal, but kalabrese's new 12" on phictiv is amazing, much in the vein of the LP but perhaps a bit deeper. still slow and groovy as fuck. he's also got two remixes coming out, still not sure whom they're for, but i've heard both and both are fantastic.

anyone else have jichael mackson's phictiv 12" from a year or two ago? now that is a fucking record.

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 03:09 (seventeen years ago)

Re: techno vocals. I didn't bother listening to it, as I think Marc HOule is probably the most overrated producer there is. Nothing he does has made me the least interested, just seems to use all the formulaic elements of minus that I think are bad about it.(Okay, bay of figs was a pretty good track, and items and things (the track) is absolutely incredible).

In less negative news: My God, I've been in such a full on techno discovery mode that I really don't know where to start. The wonderful world of Phage and Daniel Dreier is a good point to though, very colourful precise stuff. The Guillaume record on Oslo too, ooooh! some of the best house I've heard this year (being a sucker for end of the year list-dom, explains why I'm in full on techno mode, for better or for worse)I would love to get his album, it's too bad Chic Miniature never achieved the same success, but what can you do. New Sutekh on Orac I will buy this week; it has an pretty raucous acid track on it and a dubstep track too, interesting stuff, well, at least for hardcore Sutekh fanboys like myself. He seems to be really getting back into things, as he does have that pigeon funk album soon, and 3 eps released over 2007. What else? Christian Burkhardt, Peter Grummich, Pigon. Thanks r1o for the white elephant suggestion, I kind of passed upon h.o.s.h. after coming to adore Suesstof earlier this year, only to get very bored of it and its relentless booka shade apedom, I can imagine getting bored of this (in the same way I did with the similar beirut boogie - horns are a very fickle thing) but until I do, I will be enjoying this very much.

The Luca Bacchetti mix on the Modyfier blog is a real killer and has been improving my pitiful existence at work immeasurably! Not sure about the accuracy of the supplied tracklisting though. It looks a bit short for a 1hr 20min mix. Anyone familiar with this guy?

Oh jeez, I think I might really like that too. I think Jesse Somfay is utterly wonderful, shame he's a name not mentioned too often.

Tim i know you're a Mungolian fan - their Ronny & Renzo remix reminds me of that Jesse Somfay track, if a bit moister, more vivid. Both have that same haunted pagan forest vibe. would love to hear anything else along these lines.

― jabba hands, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 08:09 (seventeen years ago)

"haunted pagan forest vibe" - Yeah that's precisely what I want!! Something that actually approximates this vibe from a totally different starting point is Invisible Conga People's "Weird Pains".

― Tim F, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 09:20 (seventeen years ago)

Not minimal (should stop saying that and can we please just have a unified electronical dancing music thread in 08?), but I've been loving Mike Huckaby's "My Life With The Wave" and Claro Intelecto's "Dependent". But please everyone making these new lovely dubby sounds, making every single release a limited release gets really, really annoying after a while. If I don't have the $12+shipping for a limited 12" at the very moment I find out about most of these releases, all hope is lost for getting the vinyl at a reasonable price. Not nice. And why has that become the status quo for seemingly every good new dubby release?

― matt2, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 20:08 (seventeen years ago)

i really like the huckaby but the mr fingers aping side beats the dub techno one i reckon.

i actually think a lot of this limited business is quite overstated. i doubt the huckaby is ltd 500, for example. and 'limited' to one thousand copies is actually quite meaningless, especially in such an increasingly saturated marketplace. there are a few cases where you have to grab the release the first couple of weeks it's out or it's gone, but i find they're the exception rather than the rule.

Agreed. And Dope Jams gives the impression that they can't get stuff like that Mike Huckaby and the cv313 on echospace back in stock. In fact I asked about the cv313 specifically. And I can't imagine the Claro Intelecto and a few of the Deep Chord ones on Modern Love aren't sold out since even boomkat is out of stock.

― matt2, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 20:41 (seventeen years ago)

the deepchord ones on modern love will get repressed... the CI is a different matter since it did have a very limited run (350 or something right? and not lying like mr huckaby) so that's one of the exceptions. (as is that new one sided echospace thing on modern love out this week)

Tipped off by Test Industries, I am listened to The centre of time by Bodycode, from his new record on Yore, and yes so far it's really good. Bodycode has such a unique sound, I loved he track he did on the first Death is Nothing to Fear record on Spectral. Rich sounds, jarring rhythms, and like I said, a really unique sounds. He's not too unlike Oner Ozur or Tolga Fidan, in that they synthesize traditional music styles (in their case of Turkey, rather than South Africa for Bodycode) into really really interesting techno.

― mehlt, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 06:22 (seventeen years ago)

God, I have to proofread my posts.
Either way, I suppose I have like 4 days or so to finalize my top 40-or-so tracks of the year list, and then make a subsequent megamix of them all. I suppose this is telling of the fallacy of year end lists, in that it tends to be 'fuck all' until one week in, like, mid-November, leaving everything between then and January to fall into the abyss. Well, maybe for armchair techno fans like myself.

P.S. anyone have anything to say about Please Please Please by Tobias Thomas, because I read a description of it today and it sounded really interesting ( 12 minutes of ambience, half of V. Delay's Huone - one of my absolute favourite tracks! - this could be terrible or amazing).

Echospace has been really killing it for me recently.

Also, about the Dinky Get Lost 3....at least from what I know, this is not going to be officially released for a while. Crosstown Rebels lost their distributor? I was supposed to interview Dinky about it, but because of the delay, it couldn't fit in the issue.

I sincerely hope that this doesn't mean that he put in orgasm samples!

Speaking of Audion remixes, along with his Olga Dancekowski remix, which is sounding really really great after some initial ambivalence, his remix of Electrostatic by Terece Fixmer is really excellent, probably one of the best remixes of him I've heard. Is it just me, or does Audion kind of make you think of Phuture. I can tell things like Acid Trax very much inform his productions.
Also, re: the 27 minute Jesse Somfay track. Haven't listened to it in full, but it's not unlike the Field on a rather aggressive day. It probably should be listened to in full though.

― mehlt, Thursday, 13 December 2007 18:11 (seventeen years ago)

no it just slows down. another great track i have been enjoying this week is dan ghenacia & chris carrier "tumble blur". speaking of phuture, it kinda reminds me of "rise from your grave" with those chord stabs. this is exactly the kind of "deep" direction i'd like minimal to go in, percussive, hypnotic and sensual (much like the arpiar, mountain people and recent liebe detail stuff, and also oslo who i have just discovered (thanks for the tip ronan!)), as opposed to the bigger more explicit deepness of say innervisions. see also the excellent tobias remix of "lohn & brot"

― r1o natsume, Thursday, 13 December 2007 18:27 (seventeen years ago)

the new bruno pronsato, seems to be a slightly more emotionally direct version of the restless, twitchy, brooding, slightly mysterious 'vibe' of harem-era villalobos (think 'hireklon' and 'miami'). this verdict is delivered after hearing 3 tracks, mind you.

Heh, to return to Please Please Please again, it's apparently finished off by a Thomas/Geiger remix of a cover of "Dreams".

and Re: B. Pronsato, I wanted to compare "At Home I'm a Tourist" to Villalobos, but was scared off by the prospect of it sounding like one of many thoughtless everything-exists-in-relation-to-villalobos statement, so I'm glad it's not just me. It sounds like Villalobos with a sense of humour in a way, the same wild unrepetitive rhythmic patterns, strokes of melody which sound out of place, but fit in perfectly, but he doesn't take it too seriously. Not to say anything about either one's approach to production, but their principles are very similar, but B.P. are much more whimsical and childlike. verdict, really quite good, but you have to be in a certain mood for it.

Listened to the whole thing and it's consistently amazing! Sorry to make that quick, kind of vulgar really, Melchior comparison, but he takes a lot of stylistic and production tips from him, but with a touch of dub-techno aesthetics. Like Melchior playing in Berghain maybe? Either way, beautiful.

And, errr, not that anyone cares I,m sure but my end of the year tracks list avec megamix has now been committed to ilm

Is this Pronsato album available on CD or MP3?! I'm having trouble finding it on Boomkat etc...

Heh, to return to Please Please Please again, it's apparently finished off by a Thomas/Geiger remix of a cover of "Dreams".

Unfortunately, it's almost unlistenable.

Agreed.

In fact the last 20 minutes or so of that mix is very disappointing.

I don't believe the Pronsato will be out til January. It'll be CD and 2LP, and I can't imagine it won't be MP3 as well.

hello? repeat = no digital releases. the first few things were but they decided to go back on it. (they may well flip flop back again, i supppose)

Thanks! I was wondering why I couldn't find it anywhere.

well, yeah, i didn't actually go out and buy the pronsato record.

tho i put in a request for a review copy.

Since I imagine not many people are checking the other thread I posted this in, I was wondering if anyone here could possibly identify this just beautiful track, which I've been trying to identify since the summer. I thought it might be Joel Mull, but I've checked a lot of his tracks and haven't found it. Theres a minute long sample you can stream here

P.S. Daniel Bell is an entirely remarkable DJ! (although I'm sure you all know this already) He played for free for 5 hours in a 200 or so person capacity bar here, w/out guestlist or anything of the sort (this might be the most admirable thing any promoter in Toronto has done since I've started going to events)
