lol. what an edifying start to the year

New tracks from Trade (Blawan and Surgeon) sound rather spectacular - http://soundcloud.com/dynamic-tension/trade-sheworks005-preview

Poor Dope Jams ;_;

You realise we are going to have to look at that first post all year now? I propose switching it with a picture of something else entirely.

Dum techno beef! Dope Jams to shut anyway, apparently... Jus Ed to keep releasing average records...

Hope for house and techno in 2013!

― mmmm, Wednesday, 9 January 2013

ah great, thanks for that one - figured it shouldn't have been too difficult but i don't know the artist or label

tho i see the label also has releases by kink, which makes kind of a sense because the track reminds me a lil of what kink did in his changes of life cover

I've made a mix including several tunes I discovered through bobbins threads of the last couple of years. The sound quality is a bit odd in places on the first track (due to me not totally understanding Ableton warp mode stuff) but it gets better after that. I'm not posting it on the DJ mixes thread because I'm far from being a DJ. Link here

I tend more towards vinyl than ableton for mixes but if you're using ableton what warp mode are you using?

personally I think i would go for repitch mode wherever possible (presuming your tracks are all reasonably close in terms of BPM). With this mode obviously if there are loads of transient markers everywhere you want rid of those as itll change pitch, so just set 1.0.0 at the first sound (or first kick if it doesnt work), then do warp as straight from there. it should get rid of all the transients, then look at 5.0.0 and if the kick isnt dead on 5 just drag it to 5, then do a loop between 1-5 and see if it sounds ok, then 33-37, 97-101, 193-197 or so and see if its kept things right the whole way thru

repitch mode, to me, is messing with the track the least and therefore is the way to go

downloading your mix now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt3Oj-Dq-MM

should be thread opener imo

forthcoming on L.I.E.S

looking forward to this https://soundcloud.com/ammunitionpr/xxxy-got-me-so-clip

damn that's james from twin peaks

nothing can doom this groove is a heavy line, might have to sample it

what warp mode are you using?

Beats. My mate (who is hosting the mix for me) also suggested using repitch instead (but only aftered I'd made it). The thing is, the track where I notice oddness the most is the first track, which doesn't have any of those markers for irregular beats, and where the tempo was hardly shifted at all (from 123 down to 122) so I don't really understand why it sounds like that.

at work and cant play (and dont know the track) - feel free to send it with its .asd file tho - im curious now...

http://youtu.be/FZdocbsQLK0

Kinda dropped really late last year but might as well call it 2013. Love it.

epic jam

https://soundcloud.com/wild-oats-music/kyle-hall-untitled

feel free to send it with its .asd file tho
Have hopefully just managed to ilxmail you

ok i got it - but you'll need to do a save in this bit because its sent it me straight, not with how you have warped it

http://i47.tinypic.com/bjfrj5.jpg

also - its at 256K?

Oh wow! that kyle hall is great! and free wav dl.

This is beside the point but his "blaze (doo dah dub mix)" is great.

*do dah dab

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eihOwm1Z6I8

not my usual cuppa but i'm feeling it

i like the ricardo - heard that in fabric before, hadnt clocked what it was tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xtj6fM9O1g

I remember the original Envoy track - from the late 90's I guess. Wonder what he's up to these days.

looking fwd to get my hands on this one : http://soundcloud.com/argotmusic/sets/policy-hit-gone-bad-ep

^^ another great release for argot. 'hit gone bad' esp. has some great synth sounds.

To lyhqtu / suare (same person?) - I've remixed the whole thing now, using re-pitch where possible (and a few other bits of trickery I didn't previously know how to do), thanks for the tip. I won't derail this thread any further, but will post the new version on the dj mixes thread once it's online.

New Todd Terje and Lindstrom collaboration. Sounds like some good marathon training music. They must have a killer synthesizer collection between them.

tune of the year so far: https://soundcloud.com/hessleaudio/a-pev-kowton-raw-code-clip

boring. can't take the OTT sidechaining kick/bass anymore. nothing particularly 'raw' or 'code' like about it. if you'd told me it was 5 years old i wouldn't have been surprised. nice enough vibe, but it's not really doing anything for me.

haha, that reads a bit harsh. this is one of my fav things from this year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd9XQvSilFg

yea, one could mistake you for a hater, hahah.

well, I've only been following this partisan stuff again these past few weeks so that might explain why the track sounds exciting to me.

Its a big pool Durr, have fun.

I'm actually looking for tracks with specific sound, exactly like "raw code". Percussion-heavy, kinda techno leaning. Other artists that I can think of: Kowton, Joe, Pangaea. Anyone can direct me to the right places? Beside the obvious like Swamp81, Hessle, etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyZ6KrmbjJc

If you lean much farther techno its going to actually be

techno.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zexVEoBcU5U

Untold and Objekt would be a place to start, sorry if they're too obvious.

Okay I really like that raw code track now. That simple polyrhthmic figure is pretty damn infectious. Bit like this Durr?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoc8lSmatmU

boring. can't take the OTT sidechaining kick/bass anymore

i don't hear that track as particularly sidechain-heavy? boring, yeah.

so is this where i'm supposed to post my random beat scene and outsider/deconstructionist 'dance music' links this year?

i'm feeling that mick finesse track, esp. the analog-sounding dubs.

i really like that raw code track, the percussion riff is hypnotic

maybe I shouldn't have said techno leaning. i meant something like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK3Xy5LnlxY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUeHn9mpMf0 (and almost all kowton, including raw code)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-n2fn0TrRQ

ah, just remembered, it'd be nice if you make youtube links unembeded to prevent browser crash

digging this latest villalobos joint, hansup: http://youtu.be/45N_KDlW1gs

Luv hansup, real grower too

Especially Oneiroi.

anyone has some recommendations of this year's "indie-friendly"/accessible songs for the dancefloor? something like john talabot, osborne, todd terje, or maybe a remix of a well known indie song. thanks in advance.

this is massive:

never mind the video title, just listen.

xp thanks karl I just got Axel Boman's record last night. I love this song!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMXR3wBh7nQ

nice, that's a good one. it's an odd little album, grown on me a lot.

new lauer on running back is blissful
https://soundcloud.com/runningback/lauer-tyler-running-back-rb045

i reeeally dug the recent release on running back by mark e, 'black country roots,' not sure if it's been mentioned here or not.

Really like that Mark E. "Midland Nights" is such a bomb, SIRENS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlAyli5dMeM

love mark e

This blows my mind.

finally, Surgeon remix of Beeeee Mask http://www.juno.co.uk/products/bee-mask-pear-growers-series-1/513957-01/

This is cool. Numbers reissue Glasgow electro tunes from years ago, with Villalobos remix - https://soundcloud.com/nmbrs/sets/sparky-portland-nmbrs27

I've been living in Glasgow for years and I never heard of this dude.

new neville watson ep on don't be afraid is sounding hot

https://soundcloud.com/dontbeafraid/spe002-neville-watson-crossing

mark e is dope

Kinda fell off the Mark E train a while back. It was pretty easy to jump off, moving so slow and all. Maybe this'll get me back on.

'we could love' from last year was really good

Cheeky spam time, but Neville Watson was mentioned and we have him DJing at our party, Square Root, on December 14th. Olive Cafe: N16 7PL 9-3, and it is FREE.

RA DJ poll dominated by usual suspects - http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1968

Hieroglyphic Being was the best DJ I saw this year

now that's a boring list

it is, as expected. at least #10 is ben ufo.

now that's every DJ list that ever was and ever will be is a boring list.

I don't see why anyone at all even bothers opening the page?

Anyhow, I never post new things here 'cause every new thing I hear is usually from here or RA anyways, but damn if I'm not already excited by the samples for Ten Walls - Requiem.

dj sprikles is prob the best dj i've seen this year. saw dixon in a small club either early this year or late last year and he was legit amazing, then i saw him at a bigger outdoor thing and it was just okay.

Hieroglyphic Being was definitely one of my favourite times out dancing this year, but it’s been a great year for me. Intergalactic Gary and Traxx probably both better sets. On that list Surgeon still does it for me, loved his 'Ambient' set at Freerotation this year, and Ben UFO good if not great when I’ve seen him - the clubs and crowd were mediocre, so I’m sure he can play much better. Leah Floyeurs my discovery of the year easily. I missed DJ Sprinkles; seriously, on first at a night in Berlin and finished by 2am - who would expect that?

joey anderson -- above the cherry moon (vakula remix)

― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, September 11, 2013

cosign. this is twisted, dark, and great.

all the joey anderson releases this year are fantastic. i'm partial to 'come behind the tree'. album coming out on dekmantel, can't wait.

also gotta say seeing the youtube vids of him dancing were an *important moment* for me this year.

lol, link pls

are his other songs like above the cherry moon? cuz that song is wicked.

so good

juno's 2013 staff lists are very interesting. also reminds me of just how many interesting labels and artists aren't available on itunes. that's a shame, cuz -- after my wife and i have had our credit-card info stolen, repeatedly, over the past few years -- i'm very gunshy about using my card online anywhere but in the most mainstream, conventional locations (e.g., itunes and emusic).

levon vincent submission contest follow-up:

Friends: Thats enough music submissions, today will be the final day. This has a been very interesting exchange with people, and a truly modern experience.

There is some really great music here. I have gained this secret window of what is coming. If you wonder wether there is a future for our movement, if you sometimes think "is this frivolous?" or "I can't make it" I can tell you now you have a very bright future and there is some very deep thought happening with the next musical generation. Things are incredibly optimistic for our community.

I want to state that I am astounded by these demos. You shine bright with new life and energy. I am deeply impressed by your style, your skills and especially your technical prowess. So many of these demos just SOUND great. It is not physically possible to respond by hand to every submission so I hope you see these words here and know that I am grateful and very proud of our movement. READ MY WORDS: We are unstoppable! I am newly inspired for what I am doing with my own career and in my own life. Thank you.

In the words of the late, great Johann Sebastian Bach: hell motherfuckin yes!

iirc he hid those words in one of his compositions

wrong thread

did anyone buy shit robot - we got a love paul woolford remix? I bought the mp3 from DFA and it sounds like crap. I'm just wondering if it's intended to be that way or just shitty mastering.

Well apparently on YouTube n soundcloud it also sound muddy.

On first listen (on the link on Pitchforl) it sounds like analogue-style overdriven compression, like it has been recorded to tape, and also uses very grainy-sounding pitched down samples on the ride cymbals. Possibly L.I.E.S. inspired?

If that's true, I think that doesn't fit the song's style.

i'll admit joey anderson is a little out there for me

LOL @ the new shed alias

tre strickland is the truth
