I eagerly anticipate Smagghe and Villalobos!

fila brazilia have sunk into self-parody, dj heather and digweed were OK but nothing to get excited about, weatherall's mix = utterly meh, dj hype / freestylers / joe ransom / meat katie all incredibly clunky and boring next to grime / dancehall / "the whisper song".

but yeah, adam beyer's mix looks like the start of a good long run of hot shit from fabric.

While you're doing that, I'll be in the bathroom splashing cold water on my face.

but the real reason i am posting here is because of triple r's more friends??!! when does this come out. his mbf mix is so smooth...i am so happy that cologne discovered disco.

Yeah, several weeks! It looks like they've actually got some decent US distribution now, but the lag time is crazy. The disc shows up in the mail, it gets released in the UK a few weeks later, and then after a couple months I see it at some ridiculous price in a US bookstore.

philip, was that party the one next to the c/o pop beach hut? i went over there to get some drinks and it seemed pretty wicked, this girl was playing soem really good stuff.

last time i saw adam beyer it was pretty good, i didnt notice any sort of cologne thing going on tho.

# of regular Kompakt singles released 2004-today: just over 20 (many of which weren't exactly fluffy)

My suggestion: write in to Kompakt and ask for more frivolous chainsaws.

Er, ... because you like the music?

I'm liking this mix ... it doesn't get into the really heavy banging stuff until midway through, which is good because even I can't take 75 minutes of Cari Lekebush-esque techno these days.

you would have said the same thing about heavy 70s roots reggae rhythm dubs - if you were living in the 70s. except it turned out they were also supreme listening material. i like the eddie richards mix for the same reason - it's hypnotic, it's headnodding, when i listen to it late at night i almost forget it's there, except then suddenly i feel something like a mosquito buzzing round my head, i sense something moving, and i realize it's the sound of layers and layers and echo, flying cymbals and shit bouncing off the walls and floating around and filling up the room with shimmer and haze.

i apologize if "i like it because i forget it's on" doesn't sound like the most ringing endorsement ;)

but seriously, nothing kills my enjoyment of something like, say, mandy's "get physical" anniversary mix like those faux-rockit electro stabs they throw all over the place ... d00dz i am trying to concentrate on the drums and bass! why are you fucking it up with lame keyb action??

I also agree that when I've heard people like Mayer, Pantytec, Luciano play out, their sets really are banging minimal percussive techno once the crowd's warmed up.

But back to the mix: that DJ minx track (wink mix) is really beautiful. In fact, the first 5 tracks or so make an amazing first 20 minutes.

house isnt really banging in the same way that techno is, just the tempo for a start, and reduced melodic input, so looking for pure percussion in a house track doesnt makwe much sense to me. it seems to be like criticising apples for not tasting like oranges...

what i love about kompakt is the jarring contrast between sometimes extreme stomping nihilism of the beat, and a pretty pop/melodic sensibility. im thinking of that freiland track, the jens harke mix. speicher 12.

oh gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
