Noooooooooo!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Whew!

Let me know if it's still not working right, we're having teething troubles, but it should be functioning.
You might be interested to know that of all the tracks I single out relatively few tracks actually make it on the AMP - they're not worth bringing to people's attention cause they've already heard them (in a non-buy-this-now context) or the artist wouldn't benefit from the attention or there's some connection between us and the artist and I'll get grief. Or it's more hip-hop and 'jk' will give me grief (he will do now...) Or it's a track I love, for it's faults (and you'll give me grief)

I should list some of those that 'could' have gone up recently

DM + Jemini - Drugs / Bush Boys

Juan MacLean - Give Me Every Little Thing

Isolee - It's About

Robag Wruhme - Fragma

Elephant Man - Making Money

Mu - Let's Get Sick

DK7 - The Difference

Blintz - At a Glance

That unreleased Si Begg track

Buck65 - The Centaur (live)

Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body

Jay-Z and Pharell - Frontin

Mocky - Mickey Mouse M*th*rf*cker

Sean Paul - Get Busy remix

something by Fleetwood Mac

Husker Du - Celebrated Summer

Ben Klock - Tag Dert Arbiet

Lacquer - X

Alan Braxe - Funk Bitch on the Bass (watch out for Rubicon when it drops)

Rechenzentrum - Nelson Reprise

all the Luomo stuff

anything by 'The Wedding Present'
Diego - Mind detergent

Hagedorn - Funk Infection

Audio Bullys - Turned Away

Richard X and Liberty X

Non-prophets (Sage Francis)

and er.... the.. er Junior Boys. You know this list could go on forever..

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

excellent, gabba is an international treasure and we must never forget its wonderfulness.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I just tried, the server's not having any of it..... I'll try later

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 18:43 (twenty-two years ago)

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 18:44 (twenty-two years ago)

meanwhile - Here's Juan

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, that's on AMP now. So don't use that link..... cheers

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Sir, you most certainly do rock.

A photographer pal of mine spent the afternoon last friday shooting and hanging at the DFA studio. Said the DFA guys are very great gentlemen and the sight of watching Juan McLean record was sumthin' else.
Lucky bastid.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

PLEEEEEEEEEZE put up the Mocky track!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey -

Just went back to check it out and I still get a "Microsoft error" page.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to hear any song called "Funk Bitch On The Bass".

― Nick H, Wednesday, 21 May 2003 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Still not there.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 22 May 2003 10:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Technical issues, it seems to work for 50% of people.. i'll have it fixed soon..

― jk)), Thursday, 22 May 2003 11:48 (twenty-two years ago)

The Mu and Isolee tracks are both utterly fantastic.

― JoB (JoB), Thursday, 22 May 2003 12:40 (twenty-two years ago)

One more vote for Mocky!

― Mind Taker, Thursday, 22 May 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

And for Alan Braxe, Isolee and Junior Boys.

― Mind Taker, Thursday, 22 May 2003 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

ok..... GABBA's back!
Should be functioning as it was before. But I'd invite more people to send us feedback on technical probs or tracks they like, erk... losin abilty to typ.. fadin ou ..

― nick.K (nick.K), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

It seems to be fucking quick at moment. This is the new server at work I take it?

― Nick H, Friday, 23 May 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

three weeks pass...

What's up with Gabba.net right now? It seems to have reverted to last week's (a fortnight ago's?) listings.

Also, nick.K, Justus Kohncke's "Wichita Lineman" - any chance of putting this up?

― Cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 19 June 2003 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I would but we're already had several Kohncke tracks, and I already stuck the original up, but it's a great track.

Ok, as you may have noticed the Gabba downtime has gone up again. We seem to be in the position where we're switching servers every other week so in an effort to keep themn off our backs I'm just going to keep the left-hand side running and sack the archive for a bit. Of course, if there's something you really NEED (and I understand NEEDs) drop me a mail I'll point you in the right direction. Remember kids these are purely for evalutation purposes and we know you erase them after you've finished. Good...

― nick.K (nick.K), Saturday, 28 June 2003 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

hold tight

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 28 June 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

You people have all missed the point of the thread. Jay Vee wanted to know, not where gabba.net had gone, but why it was called gabba.net in the first place. Hence, the use of the word 'wherefore'.

My guess is because they started as a gabba site?

Alright, I'm being a smartarse.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Saturday, 28 June 2003 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

skiffle.net had already gone i guess

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 28 June 2003 22:02 (twenty-two years ago)

'Gabba' describes the intensity for which we love music, or at least that's what it means this morning.

― nick.K (nick.K), Sunday, 29 June 2003 09:29 (twenty-two years ago)

one year passes...

Please please please say this somehow isn't true.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I am totally in shock. fuck.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, I was actually afraid/unsure of starting a thread about this.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:03 (twenty-one years ago)

What? He posted on the Fabric Kompakt thread yesterday. Errr...shit, I don't know what to say.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

omg.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

horrible, horrible news.

RIP

― stevo (stevo), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i found out this morning from a friend in the uk, and have been sat here in shock ever since. rip nick.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Damn.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

now that this is out, maybe a proper thread is in order? i am thinking a lot of people have memories they would like to share...

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

really terrible, Nick was always such a positive presence around these parts, never met him IRL. Just don't know what to say it's fucking awful.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Fuck. I just checked on this thread to see what Gabba.net was up to..... I agree that a proper thread is in order.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

im going to start one now. apologies in advance if anyone feels that's out of order.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

three months pass...

i'm not sure if this an appropriate thread to revive (and perhaps this has been mentioned elsewhere) but http://www.gabba.cc has been relaunched and redesigned, with a new community-minded spirit.

― jermaine (jnoble), Saturday, 21 May 2005 09:22 (twenty years ago)

― Sean M (Sean M), Saturday, 21 May 2005 11:41 (twenty years ago)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 21 May 2005 17:49 (twenty years ago)

This IS great!!!

― David R. (popshots75`), Saturday, 21 May 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

(the way i put that announcement maybe made it sound like i had something to do with it, which i most certaintly didn't, so i'm taking this opportunity to clarify)

― jermaine (jnoble), Sunday, 22 May 2005 06:32 (twenty years ago)

: )

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 22 May 2005 07:14 (twenty years ago)
