P Diddy and Friends-Lets Get Ill
Bangalter and Falcon-Call On Me, at least I think that's what it's called.
Can't think of too many more but I will.

Paul Woolford-Out of my Life
Jon Carter-Go Down
X-Press 2-Strobelight Serenade
some song by tim deluxe using an alias
Those are big Miami tunes I've heard of Steve, the only one I've actually heard is Carter's one which samples that tune from O Brother Where Art Thou "oh sinners lets go down" etc.

Anyway, I'll chip in with the stuff I liked in the last month:
Puretone Stuck In A Groove (Tomcraft Remix)Düse Nackig (Tomcraft Remix) (he does it again! everything Tomcraft touches turns to gold at the moment...how long can this last?)Alan Braxe & Fred Falke Love Lost (this NEEDS a bigger remix though, where's Galleon when you need him?)Huntemann DiscoTech (more electro! irresistable!)Legowelt Disco Rout (Johannes Heil Remix) (OK not that new, but still...)Taksi Rohrbruch (the techno tune everyone is spinning at the moment)Planet Funk Who Said (Moguai Remix) (banging breaks, punk vocals, this is how Audio Bullys should sound)Shakedown ft Terra Deva Drowsy With Hope (Shadow Company Remix) (this is definitely growing on me!)Infusion Legacy (Junkie XL Remix) (fantastic nu-skool breaks tune. same carefully sculpted sound as last year's Cloud Cuckoo)Sean Paul Gimme The Light (Heartless Crew Mix) (madness...)DJ Energy Excelsis (S.H.O.K.K. Mix) (OK, this is as simple, blunt and germanic as it gets, but it's MASSIVE)Björk Pagan Poetry (Infusion Mix) (gorgeous, a soft electro bassline with subtle breaks on top)Sasha Cloud Cuckoo (Luke Chable Remix) (OK it doesn't top the original, but I loooove this 4/4 version)Coldplay Clocks (Marco V Remix) (the unlikely combination of that piano melody and 160 bpm earbleeding Schranz techno really works!)Scott Bond vs Solar Stone 3rd Earth (trance at its finest)Marco V c:\del *.mp3 (sinister tech trance/techno banger)Syntax Pray (what the hell is this? something between synthpop, progressive and electro...fascinating stuff)Anne Clark Sleeper In Metropolis (Sleeper In Berlin Remix) (what's with all the Anne Clark worshipping in Germany all of a sudden? Anyway, I'm not complaining!)Bart van Wissen Illuminate (on their own, a few of those dreaded progressive tunes are actually quite amazing!)
And M.I.K.E. has about a dozen new tunes coming up once the Lightning/Bonzai bankruptcy problems are sorted out. Until then, Ice Cream is still the one to beat...

The carter one is pretty good, better than his last two anyway. Have you heard Bucci Bag Siegbran? It's bound to be huge, and pretty hard to resist, obvious and all as it is.

My brother tells me David Guetta Vs David Bowie is something to be downloaded and listened to.
― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 April 2003 12:48 (twenty-two years ago)
I finally managed to get my hands on a set rip of the Beyer track, and oooooohhhh....all the hype is true, the original Ignition Key is just plain insignificant in comparison. With tracks like this, the techno revival is far from over. I can even imagine it crossing over to non-techno DJs, like La Rock 01 and Gatex did.
― Siegbran (eofor), Friday, 11 April 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)
The Guetta/Bowie track is called "Just For One Day" so I presume Heroes is there somewhere. I'll clarify later.
I also forgot to mention Justin Robertson's Ruckus Juice record. Re:the techno revival, it strikes me just now that the significant problem in my understanding of it is that the DJs coming here are old skool techno types who aren't playing these sort of tracks. Am I right in guessing the techno revival is techno becoming a single scene moreso than before? In Europe is it new young DJs who are part of this revival as opposed to the old guard?

Also hearing that new Braxe track again; it is so like a bangalter/falcon record!
Speaking of the latter I also heard Bangalter's new single off the Irreversible soundtrack, "Outrage", it's pretty mental in a great Roule 1995 Trax On The Rocks techno style.

One of the most bizarre (and probably worst, but I don't know whether to laugh or cry) tunes I've heard recently is the Master Blaster remix of Anjali "Im Nin Alu". The original is some popular arabic (?) tune, and apparently someone came up with the rediculous idea to hire some no-brainer Germans to do a by-the-numbers charttrance version.

Tony Senghore-The System-Scuzzy house with greasy trombone sample and a great dual purpose sample from some political speech which goes "IS THE SYSTEM WORRRKING?"
Harry Romero featuring Robert Owens-I Go Back-Intro dead similar to Mr Fingers-Can You Feel It, it's quite a builder, eventually culminating in usual Subliminal style funk work out, no problems there. The vocal is all "when music had a meaning" etc etc etc, but who cares.
There seems to be a massive massive trend this year for pure funk records, almost like the techy and proggy elements have been chucked out the window and we're destined for one massive beach party. So many of the Miami records are latin tinged, it's strange.
The other one is Junior Jack's new single-E Samba, it's got that massive Thrill Me style bassline and the squeaky guitar cuts but once again it's got a big latin vocal over it. It's hard to see where this has all come from, I suppose Tim Deluxe last year maybe.
If you can manage it, it's worth listening to the Buzz Chart part of Lottie's Essential Selection from last week, all the tracks so far have been getting played out.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml/?essselection#
The only M Factor track I'm familiar with is that Mother one from last year, that was pretty cool, I never heard any DJ play it though, strangely.

The Junior Jack record is so so similar to Thrill Me, but it's too good a formula not to work again, people love basslines so much it can't fail.
― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)
There's about ten producers in various genres that I actively follow and try to hear everything from, and for the rest I follow DJ playlists and recommendations from trainspotters in a more or less random fashion. And even with the best 'reliable' sources, less than half of what they recommend/play is actually good...

M.I.K.E. Turn The Lights OffPlastic Boy Live Another LifeThe Gift Love Angel (three new M.I.K.E. productions, heard these on his radio set a weeks ago. God exists, and he's twiddling knobs in Antwerp)High Voltage Bombs Away (sick, stomach churning hardstyle, bordering on gabber. Nobody on this board will like it.)Fast Floor Sirens Of Time (Überdruck Remix) (another fat, filthy hardstyle monster. Only sounds good on soundsystems with BASS)Benny Benassi Satisfaction (dirty electro with robot vocals)Master Blaster Hypnotic Tango (Original House Mix) (this is sooooo disco. Why they let some silly MC shout over the track is a mystery, but the 70s disco vocals and the groove are irresistable)Nightcrawlers Push The Feeling On 2003 (JCA Club Mix) (a radical rework, and it works all the way.)Bangkok Impact Junge Dame Mit Freundlicher Telefonstimme (technically 2002, but it is getting a rerelease with remixes soon. Quite simply the horniest electrodisco groove since Billie Jean, complete with a hideously infectious 'double clap' every 4 bars. Also includes: the best one-finger-synth-line ever - I can't hype this enough!)Soul Rebels The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (Plastic Music Mix) (never mind the cool speech, listen to that looped house groove!!!)Soulsearcher ft Donna Allen Feelin' Love (Axwell Vocal Mix) (1991-style diva house is back!)

No, I'm sorry. But they're on yours, right?
At the moment, I'm a fanatical admirer of M.I.K.E. (producing/collaborating under more than 80 aliases and releasing about 30 originals and remixes a year, grrrr), Überdruck, Vitalic, Danny Wolfers/Legowelt, Alphazone, Tomcraft, Filterheadz, Thomas Bangalter, Felix Da Housecat, Gabriel & Dresden and Westbam. Everything these guys touched in the past year seems to be amazing. No doubt half of these wil disappoint me in the near future, and I'll shift focus in a ruthless manner, but that's the way it goes.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)
Ok obviously the entire point of it which I hadn't thought of before hearing it is that you use the big famous riff from Heroes and loop it so you have a 4/4 house beat with that MASSIVE wwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, and the bassline. And then you let Bowie sing "we can be heroes just for one day" a few times, lather rinse repeat!
