everything cottam does is good. the sounds just pop, spacious and dense at the same time, you just wanna drown in it (youtube doesn't do it justice.) kinda reminds me of terre thaemlitz at times.

i'm sure this was talked about on sandboxx during the downtime, but Kompakt has a recording of a live TWELVE HOUR SET by Michael Mayer up on soundcloud. It took me 2 days but i listened to the whole thing and it is fucking incredible. hearing a single DJ go 12 hours in one sitting is a rare treat.

I think "Inspector Norse" is better than anything for last year's EP, so immediate and full sounding - it seems so unfair that it's came out on the first fortnight of the year because I think it's going to stand tall over a lot of 2012. I don't massively care for the rest of the It's The Arps though, it's kinda boring?

Yeah Its the Arps is great, don't agree that its retreading the same ground as snooze 4 love. maybe in sort of a melodic/ harmonic way, buts its palette and feeling is totally different. while snooze 4 love had a 90s ambient house feeling, the Arps, i guess down to its minimally treated dry ARP synth sounds is all like popcorn/ Wendy Carlos novelty dicopop.
― dsb, Friday, 13 January 2012 17:53 (1 year ago) Permalink
I posted another track from this on the sandbox thread right before we switched back over, but i have really been feeling the new Linkwood. Someone pointed out the melodic figure was very close to Pepe Braddock's Deep Burnt...

best part is how you can occasionally hear crowd noise-- in the last half hour he even has a damaged record/dusty needle/both on a song that he stops and restarts three times

wait till you get to pts 3 and 4
pt 5 is probably my favorite-- def the "classics" segment and i'm guessing somewhere around 3 or 4am.
― ⚓ (gr8080), Friday, 13 January 2012 23:57 (1 year ago) Permalink
i don't think that "inspector norse" is necessarily a retread of "snooze" but i think using the palette of analog synths as opposed to endearingly goofy pianos or accordions or w/e is informed by its success. the new/original productions on 'remaster of the universe' sorta hinted that he might start doing the whole wacky live band thing a whole lot more... i'm glad he decided against that.
not sure if he used analog or digi synths for "eurodans" but i guess that's also got some novelty discopop appeal too
― psychgawsple, Saturday, 14 January 2012 00:01 (1 year ago) Permalink
looks like both bradock and linkwood sampled freddie hubbard's "little sunflower". i feel like the same sample is used a lot in hip hop too... tribe called quest's "the love" for sure, probably others too

Stuff from the end of 2011 that caught my attention ... Morphosis Morphosis Morphosis !!! Too Far EP with the Dettmann mixes is immense intense clanging dubby funkiness -
ARP 3 by Floating Points is best thing he has done so far and it's very house with some great cat noises buried deep in the mix which can make for a slightly confusing listen for cat owners such as myself
The Mike Huckaby SYNTH remixes of Sistol/Pole are absolutely wonderful too
― out comes stanley, Sunday, 15 January 2012 21:42 (1 year ago) Permalink
Floating Points does a killer line in house/techno DJing, dig out his sets on Rinse with Kyle Hall and every time he appears on the Hessle Audio show and see for your self.

xpost yeah it does sound a bit country and western to me. it's in that gerd panorama bar mix, pretty cool but given "it's you" is one of my all-time favourites it doesn't really do it. i can't get why people would pay so much as that's a record that you'll play once or twice and then never again, to me.

Prosumer really is the best, i nearly had a wee fit the other week when he dropped an m-series tune with a diva house tune on top for its entirity making an otherwise dreary night in hackney wick a bit magic (as long as i kept my eyes closed).
Whats the end of year feelings then? Ive not been DJing much this year so the compulsions to keep up has faded a bit. I do love a good december list frenzy, Ive been working in parties every weekend but theyve been of the tech house variety so pretty low on stand outs.
