A thread too far?

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:16 (twenty years ago)

It probably seems foolish to start a 2006 thread with something from 2003, but I have finally go to hear the Narod Niki thing from Mutek and I love it! Any info, opinions, etc.?

Villalobos looks like he's having technical difficulties in those pics.

― Jena (JenaP), Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:20 (twenty years ago)

Is that Monolake in the top picture, to his left?

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:21 (twenty years ago)

those photos don't look like the mutek show. i think there was also a narod niki one-off in berlin (or maybe somewhere else in germany??), maybe that's where those are from. the mutek show was a lot smaller and smokier. it was great fun too! i had to drive about 16 hours the following day which was ummm interesting.

― breakfast pants (disco stu), Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:33 (twenty years ago)

yes, that's monolake.

― breakfast pants (disco stu), Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:38 (twenty years ago)

If anyone needs new mixes, this site has live and radio mixes from Michael Mayer, Herbert, Mathew Jonson, Wighnomy Bros, Trentemoller, Joris Voorn, Dahlbeck, etc...

hose photos don't look like the mutek show.

You're right -- in Montreal, they were arranged in a semicircle on a stage, not in a line on a scaffold.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:55 (twenty years ago)

hurrah, this is a great idea for a thread!

It probably seems foolish to start a 2006 thread with something from 2003, but I have finally go to hear the Narod Niki thing from Mutek and I love it! Any info, opinions, etc.?

narod niki = ?

luciano + villalobos live in october 05 is still my key set at the moment (can't remember the date/venue, will check my ipod later).

― toby (tsg20), Sunday, 15 January 2006 01:23 (twenty years ago)

Narod Niki - http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1192199

I hadn't heard of this before! Now I really want to go to Mutek :/

― fandango (fandango), Sunday, 15 January 2006 01:42 (twenty years ago)

let's talk about dapayk.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 15 January 2006 02:03 (twenty years ago)

Well, having people perform on a scaffolding is pretty cool too.

― Tokyo Ghost Stories (Tokyo Ghost Stories), Sunday, 15 January 2006 07:21 (twenty years ago)

The scaffold is awesome too, don't get me wrong. Like tricky said, it was a smaller venue and the second floor surrounded the perimeter of the club on all four sides (including behind the stage). The anticipation was huge, and over an hour before NN played, people were starting to pack in against (and even lean over) the railing to get the best possible view. The mood and mayhem in the room, together with the near-claustrophic density of people closing in on all four sides from the second floor, made the whole thing feel like those AC/DC videos where the fans were watching the band from multi-level scaffolds.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 15 January 2006 07:41 (twenty years ago)

yeah, that's the narod niki show from the volksbuhne in berlin, september 2004. it was pretty fucking stellar.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Sunday, 15 January 2006 15:43 (twenty years ago)

something from 2003:
Dapayk & Padberg: Deiner Liebe Tisch (Wighnomy-Brothers-Meiner-Einer-Deiner-RMX)
Got it now, recommended

― nocure, Sunday, 15 January 2006 16:43 (twenty years ago)

did you hear narod niki on mp3, adam? i see one can stream it at the mutek website.

― toby (tsg20), Sunday, 15 January 2006 17:35 (twenty years ago)

yes i did!

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Sunday, 15 January 2006 19:29 (twenty years ago)

maybe next mutek will look like this :

and did you find it on slsk? or somewhere else? i'm having no luck!

― toby (tsg20), Sunday, 15 January 2006 23:34 (twenty years ago)

on slsk - seek me out! ;)

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Sunday, 15 January 2006 23:38 (twenty years ago)

great minimal labels overlooked because of their boring names, part I: Einmaleins Musik! flawless roster so far, especially the Pan Pot releases suggest a less clunky Eulberg

― Yawn (Wintermute), Sunday, 22 January 2006 13:32 (twenty years ago)

the next sci fi hi fi mix is being done by none other than luciano!

― breakfast pants (disco stu), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 03:34 (twenty years ago)

So.

So far this year, the "big" minimal tune seems to be Paul Woolford's 'Erotic Discourse, I think I've heard everyone I've seen since November last year play it (I know, I know, technically 2005 bobbins but it was only a 500 copy one-sided release then)

I like it, but seeing as it is simply a basic rhythm track with a one-note riff being fucked about with by delay effects there only seems to be about 20 seconds which is really incredible and the rest seems to follow the law of diminishing returns.

What does eeryone else think?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 10:17 (twenty years ago)

I think it's crap UK house!

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 10:20 (twenty years ago)

Die 20/20 Vision die! the only reason for its contiuned existence is riding the coat-tails of the success of better artists

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 10:21 (twenty years ago)

actually that's probably a bit harsh, they have some good 12s, but they are a bit surpassed.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 10:29 (twenty years ago)

i assumed everyone liked and played out that erotic discourse tune because it's a good mixing tune, like brutalga square (which also doesn't really stand up on it's own imo, but can transform other tunes amazingly).

― nebbesh (nebbesh), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 12:22 (twenty years ago)

Erotic Discourse is so strange. There's absolutely nothing there, no hook, no bassline, no payoff or anything; in fact, it makes me feel quite ill. But I really like it! Is it definitely Paul Woolford?

― ewmy (ewmy), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 12:41 (twenty years ago)

brutalga square stand s up tall and proud on its own in its entirety, for this listener.

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 13:01 (twenty years ago)

Is it definitely Paul Woolford?

Yep! see:

http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.asp?ID=7499

And I'm with Ambrose, in fact Brutalga Square works best on its own IMO.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 16:57 (twenty years ago)

nobody makes a good mixing tune that vulgar

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 21:50 (twenty years ago)

I'm glad this thread is doing well

soon there will be a release on scsi-9's label 'pro-tez records' which is AMAZING

scsi-9 said it's "minimal POP" though, not house.

beautiful music

― nique (nique), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 22:05 (twenty years ago)

Paulo Alante-Suave Delirio

This is my favourite minimal bobbin so far this year, tho I guess it's not minimal in the Hawtin way, what a nice groove it is though.

http://c.decks.de/sound/sound_v/va_freshep_acx-hb+3.mp3

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 22:07 (twenty years ago)

Oooh! "Minimal pop" sounds like "Mini" and "Autumn Love" (actually I'm imagining stuff like the Antonelli Electr. remix of a Quarks track with a German name too long for me to remember).

x-post.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 22:10 (twenty years ago)

they'll kill me if i post tracks from pro-tez003, but i think some small snippets won't do much harm, will they?
i can't wait till ppl will hear them

― nique (nique), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 22:23 (twenty years ago)

"Walk to the Water" by Fairmont (aka Jake Fairley) is on the B-side of his new single "I Want to See the Sun Come Up" (Echocord). It starts with BoC chords and then after a minute some Chicago bass comes in and beautiful melancholy synths, a great track.

Another current minimal favourite is Dub Kult's "Twelve" (Traum), with ghostly vocal snippets and a nagging synth bassline. Proper spooky, love it.

― JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:38 (twenty years ago)

I'm feeling Lopazz - Lasergun at the moment, good dark pulsating stuff.

― Mil (Mil), Thursday, 26 January 2006 02:25 (twenty years ago)

"the next sci fi hi fi mix is being done by none other than luciano! "

Tracklist!?

― nocure, Thursday, 26 January 2006 16:00 (twenty years ago)

some link i got thru kelkoo says the luciano mix is out 27th march but theres no tracklisting there yet.

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 26 January 2006 16:45 (twenty years ago)

about a year and a half ago luciano was working on a fucking fantastic mix for mental groove, don't know why it's never seen the light of day... it was very lush and IDM, very much a "roots of my style" kinda thing. can't wait to hear the sci.fi.hi.fi.

Absolutely adoring the Bodzin/Huntemann remix of Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts", these two were born to remix Depeche Mode (and lord knows it now feels like everyone has tried). The remix can't decide if it wants to be a "Doppelwhipper" style sparkly random sound fest or dark techy stormer. Have to admit I don't like everything Bodzin and co do but when on form they are so good, I love how Bodzin strikes that balance between functionalism ("worker records" as per Ronan, and the implied Von Stroke resemblance is not totally off-base perhaps) and gothic melodrama, everything is designed to hit you right between your mascara'd eyes. I love it when they loop Martin Gore sighing "the grabbing hands grab all they can, all for themselves after all", and then Gahan announces "it's a competitive world!" and the tune drops.

Speaking of Von Stroke and goth, I suppose his remix of Freaks' "Ghouls" is relevant here, although that's good the expected quirky edge that makes it more funny than anything else. Still great, but "Chimps" is the scarier record perhaps.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 3 November 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

yes Ghouls is kind of funny, I don't think it descends into wackiness though, more funny in a sort of traditional Chicago house psycho way.....

I like a decent amount of Bodzin/Huntemann but they release so much that it's a bit annoying sometimes...the records sound amazing in clubs tho...

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 3 November 2006 18:45 (nineteen years ago)

when Bodzin is good, he's great, but I guess he does put out a lot of generic sounding stuff. none of it sounds bad to me -- perhaps those are "workers"

― Dominique (dleone), Friday, 3 November 2006 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

Does anyone know where/how to get that Martyr club promo that has the Bodzin/Huntemann and Villalobos mixes on it?

― jeffery (jeffery), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:07 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, the Huntemann and Bodzin Depeche Mode remix is a fucking beast.

― struttin' with some barbecue (jimnaseum), Friday, 3 November 2006 22:55 (nineteen years ago)

another good Bodzin & Huntemann that's flying under the radar is their remix of Sono - Blame. DEEP BASS

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Friday, 3 November 2006 23:43 (nineteen years ago)

yeah that one's ace as well.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 3 November 2006 23:48 (nineteen years ago)

I think I heard that Dapayk one on the weekend. It was really well produced, like standing right there in front of you instead of produced at second remove. impressive, and like Jena says, sharp.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Friday, 3 November 2006 23:52 (nineteen years ago)

I tried to work out the stylistic breakdown of Bodzin vs Bodzin/Romboy vs Bodzin/Schumacher vs Bodzin/Huntemann, but it's kind of hard. It seems like, most of the time, when Bodzin works with any of his collaborators they tend to create these dark brooding epics, but Bodzin's own stuff by comparison usually tends towards the overblown - closer to some mid-point between Huntemann and Schumacher's solo work than any of his collaborations. Maybe I've just heard the wrong tracks.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 3 November 2006 23:55 (nineteen years ago)

I just tend to assume everything is produced by Bodzin and the other guy just makes the tea :) Maybe my favourite recent one was Kerosene. A bit Border Community in vibe for some, but I heard it as the closer out the other night and it just worked, like Ronan says. The crowd went bonkers.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Saturday, 4 November 2006 00:07 (nineteen years ago)

I think my favourite in that style is probably "Miranda" with Romboy. Overall my favourites are probably still "SL Mirage" and "Atlas" because I am a Get Physical disco slut.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 4 November 2006 00:09 (nineteen years ago)

Now you've made me play Atlas, Tim! Yeah, definite GF vibe there. Do you think Get Physical have moved away a bit from that sound now? I dunno too much about it, but they seem about to ditch the electro for more of a house vibe (Jay Haze esp). I haven't heard the MANDY mix.

I like the Williams remix of Marc Romboy's Impact Disco, the bass is in a Get Physical vein.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Saturday, 4 November 2006 00:28 (nineteen years ago)

I dunno, have there been enough GP releases since the Fuckpony album to judge? "Night Falls" was basically in the same vein as "Atlas" and "SL Mirage" - and DJ T's current sound is in a similar vein as well.

The MANDY mix is generally more typically minimal than Haze-house per se.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 4 November 2006 04:27 (nineteen years ago)

Ok, I've just heard this in th elatest Pigon set on Betalounge, what is the song that has the male vocals "All around us lovers, all around us people everywhere". It's so good.

― Jena (JenaP), Saturday, 4 November 2006 07:44 (nineteen years ago)

Sounds like it might be Superpitcher, but I don't think it is.

― Jena (JenaP), Saturday, 4 November 2006 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

Oops, and the set is by Efdemin & Carsten Klemann, not Pigon.

― Jena (JenaP), Saturday, 4 November 2006 16:31 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone heard the M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade or the Tiefschwarz mixes of Roxy Music?

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 4 November 2006 22:00 (nineteen years ago)

yup. they're ok.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 5 November 2006 06:28 (nineteen years ago)

Damning with faint praise there!

― struttin' with some barbecue (jimnaseum), Sunday, 5 November 2006 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

the Kaos extended mix is by far my favorite on the ep, followed by the Tiefschwarz. now if you'll excuse me i have to drop off a rent check...

― yours fondly, harshaw. (mrgn), Sunday, 5 November 2006 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

anyone heard the new Mobilee comp (not sure if it techniqually mini house, but whatevs) mixed by Anja methinks?

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Monday, 6 November 2006 06:51 (nineteen years ago)

Yup. Disc 1 is an ace comp of the label's best recent 12-inches, and 2 is all remixes, mixed together by Schneider. It's great.

― braveclub (braveclub), Monday, 6 November 2006 11:32 (nineteen years ago)

I felt much like Ambrose and Tokyo Ghost Stories upthread, so I created a minimal house bobbins 2006 station on last.fm to hear some of what's being talked about here.
Those with players or those who want to dl a player (it's free and fun for all the family) can listen at this page", presuming i am linking successfully, which is by no means certain.

There's almost a hundred tracks streamed at 128 whatchamacallems. If it was from late 2005, and talked about here, I tried to include it. I even included Brutalga Square, just for kicks. There are limits to what is available at last.fm, for instance in the Freunde am Tanzen/Vakant/einmaleins/Mobilee departments. Those with the ability must continue to lean on Philip Sherburne for a mix.

If you try to give it a listen, tell me about any problems or criticisms you may have. Cheers.

Yep

― deekew (deekew), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 13:56 (nineteen years ago)

― deekew (deekew), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 13:59 (nineteen years ago)

Loco Dice - 'Raindrops on my Window'. Pretty amazing.

Just discovered this entry in the teardrop house list: Bodzin & Romboy's 'Phobos'

― Omar (Omar), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

wtf, anyone know Africans With Mainframes? listening to their two 12-inches from this year, and are really cool, leftfield house, maybe in the pom pom/STL mode, but with more going on rhythmically

― Dominique (dleone), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 23:55 (nineteen years ago)

Can't search for the Get Physical thread at the moment, but i feel it's important to stress just how brilliant the Fuckpony album is, probably my second favourite album of the year. "It's Only Music" in particular is just amazing - this music is so rich and yet so hooky!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 00:01 (nineteen years ago)

Also "Get Pony" - basically everytime things get hyper-riffy.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 00:12 (nineteen years ago)

I'm also super-pumped for this Jay Haze double mix-cd coming out in December - looks like an excellent overview of the Tuning Spork sound.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 00:42 (nineteen years ago)

looking good, his new 12 on TS is nice too. Plus he has 2 or 3 other decent releases at the moment.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 00:52 (nineteen years ago)

i like "make money hoes" from the fuckpony album which instead of being riffier is trackier or the riffs are simply the changing drum patterns every x number of bars. it's a cool track because it seems to have as many parts as it does minutes making it very different from some of the hyperextended releases this year.

― josh. (disco stu), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 01:06 (nineteen years ago)

cannot wait to hear the dapayk album. i am waiting to get the double cd and i have high hopes for goodness. what's amazing is that he must've released ten or more singles this year and the lp is all new material.

― josh. (disco stu), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 01:14 (nineteen years ago)

I also love whichever one it is that goes "I gotta shake my ass/you gotta move that ass/I can't let that pass/fuck a pony" - can't remember if that's "Make Money Hoes" or "Bongo Porn" off the top of my head. It's so druggy though!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 01:18 (nineteen years ago)

that's "bongo porn". it also has the great lyric, "artificial happiness makes me numb."

― josh. (disco stu), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 01:24 (nineteen years ago)

anyone heard jeff samuel's step yet? looking forward to that one too.

― josh. (disco stu), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 01:31 (nineteen years ago)

Only heard "You Will Never Know" but that's great - a bit bouncy and restless in that Samuel manner but also lots of pretty synth patterns and piano chords, then hippy shoegazer guitar whine towards the end to make everything anthemic.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 01:40 (nineteen years ago)

wtf, anyone know Africans With Mainframes? listening to their two 12-inches from this year, and are really cool, leftfield house, maybe in the pom pom/STL mode, but with more going on rhythmically

I think I have roughly half the stuff that involves Jamal Moss in some form. Most of it is nasty, nasty, off-the-wall (i.e., great) shit.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 02:22 (nineteen years ago)

Hieroglyphic Being, the Sun God, I.B.M. all that stuff is great. I was listening to I.B.M.'s My Life As A Skinny Puppy 12" the other day where all the tracks come to a boiling point only to suddenly cut off. Weird.

― Jena (JenaP), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 02:26 (nineteen years ago)

OK so I spent the evening listening to a whole lot of this stuff on last.fm. I'm going to tell you for some reason how it was. as far as i can remember. and with the caveat that i don't know about this stuff.

First track up was 2005 bobbins Pier Bucci - Pipostrack. I was amazed. So beautiful. I'd heard people be rather sniffy about Trentemoller and couldn't understand it, based on the one track i had had for a long time, Take Me Under Your Skin, which i love, and whose big washes of sound appeal to the shoegazer in me. And that moment when the drums come clicking, what could compare? Well, maybe lots of things, if the first song that comes on mb2006 radio is as pretty as this. Quick realization: there's a whole year of beautiful music going on that I know nothing about.

Next up was Mikkel Metal - Align. Very nice. Then came Troy Pierce - Smack the Black Off Ya, a less than charming title but a decent tough dirty tune which went really well into Ellen Alien - Down (Dinky Remix), also tough and dirty but a lot more playful and bouncy. I accidently played the Paul Anka "the guys get shirts" rant thing over the top of them, so i thought i was a superstar dj and everything was going swimmingly. Trentemoller- Serenetti (Hemman + Kaden Remix), SCSI-9 - Ne Contson a Coltsom (2005?), SChatrax - Mispent Years...oh my: the dreamy gorgeousness! I am Dr. Cuddlestein! Hear what I have wrought!

Efdemin - Jean was almost as nice. The superpitcher remix of the MFA - the difference it makes was good, but didn't really fit (if that doesn't make people roffle; for all i know much of this stuff doesn't fit). At some stage Dapayk & Padberg's 2005 Use Your Arms came on, which I found rather silly. Bretter D D Welt Bereute by them came on later and was much much better, rocked a good deal, if i recall. Their Close Up struck me as wussy at first, but about half way through suddenly it was an excellent clicky, bright, intriguing groove, it seemed to me. Dunno what changed, I think the track eventually calls time on the trip-hop-y vocal.

Vladishav Delay Remix of Rhythm and Sound's Truly is easilythe best one, i think. I knew this really well, must be on some mix i've got.

So you get the idea, really beautiful stuff. But then came Paul Woodward - Erotic Discourse, Tomsan+Daniel De la Curtis - Synthic, Sascha Funke-In Between Days, one of the worst runs of music i've sat through lately. What was I thinking putting Erotic Discourse on this thing? Curse whoever mentioned it. I can see how if the crowd's up for it and and you know what you are doing, you can play something into this and out of it and they'll go bananas, but really, it's so graceless and blunt and as subtle, drawn-out and painful as the charge of the light brigade. I don't know anything about anything, but surely something like say a Booka Shade track can do this and be a little set in miniature and, yanno, be good, so begone Mr. Woodward. Synthic is too synthetic (i'm a genius, i know). It's the sound of lino. IBD is a bit better, but still really dull.

Carst Jost - Uccellini came next so i perked up, because Last.fm had once played me something from a messed up version of kompaktCD15 that it said was Don't Need A Weatherman but discogs sez different, but anyway was really really beautiful. Uccellini was good, but not that good, not after that run anyhow.

GummiHz - Feedback is interesting. Boy is it minimal. And actually goes plip plop quite a bit. Bonus points. Not sure it would wander within a few miles of a dancefloor though. Like to be there if it did.

Paul Kalkbrenner: Atzpeng > freunde blase > keule.

Mikkel Metal - Memories. Unlike Align - a laid-back pretty melodic thing with beats just menacing beneath it, i thiiiiink - this is atmospheric dubby (?) synthpoppy and rather Junior Boys-y. It's lovely. I think Merek Bois is here coz he's the 2006 incarnation of dpayk? Anyway he's on the dirty, almost banging side, not mad about it. Shane Berry Fillertet2 Rmx = very good. RAdio Slave - my bleep and SCSI-9 - Eclair de Lune = Great. Very very pretty. My favourites seem to bee these kind of murderous beasts who are just too happy to do anything but lollop along dreaming, clicking here, shuffling there, synths whistling cheerfully.

So i think i'll prune this station, get rid of what strikes me as the obvious duds at least, add as many of the big tunes from the other thread as are available, add Alex Under's' 2005 Dispositivos de Mi Granja maybe? And maybe refine it further after further listens.

So anyway, what's like Pier Bucci - Pipostrack, hmmmm?

two months pass...

what do we think of resident advisor's 2006 top 30 then?

I still like "In White Rooms" way less than I think I'm supposed too, I even prefer that 'dull' Sascha Funke track, being a touch sharper on the trance, the long melody engaging right throughout the breakdown(& up) grindings. Sorta reminds me of a less 'big' Gazebo.

that Tobias. track (Street Knowledge) is great too, "Below Houston" on the Cassy mix ended up being one of my favourite things on it weirdly. I know not everyone wants to hear minimal so completely stripped down & bare (& stiff/funky) that it's heading towards Robert Hood as much as it is PROPAH house all night long, but if there's going to be less & less pure rhythmic interest (microhouse...) or pychedelicishness going on inbetween the serial monogamy of more & more 10 minute 'subtle' building tracks ala "Full Clip" in 2007 as minimal crosses over even more... I'd like to hope the simple appeal of a bit of good, tough banging won't become completely passe.

^horrible post, I'm not sure what I'm trying to reach at exactly. Just a bit tired of this trend of long house/techno tracks that sound utterly complete & functional within themselves but are equally flimsy as hell and a bit hookless?

hmmm. try here:Minimal house bobbins 2007. this thread is too unwieldy.

I wasn't going to post about a list of 2006 tracks in a 2007 thread :/

This thread starts with someone posting about something from 2003 :)

sixteen years pass...

Listening to a lot of Audio Werner today, never really clocked him before (hearing 'Trust' on a playlist is what did it). Perfect work (not business) techno.
