I was looking for maybe a bit more... is it really, really good?

― cºzen (Cozen), Monday, 22 November 2004 13:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I thought I gave it to you on that CDR? Maybe not. I'm not that mad about it, but then I'm not that mad on the original, either. I probably need to listen to it more.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 22 November 2004 13:24 (nineteen years ago) link

The Superpitcher MFA mix is on Gabba Amp right now. It is very good, yes.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 22 November 2004 15:26 (nineteen years ago) link

It's one of the remixes of the year!

― adam... (nordicskilla), Monday, 22 November 2004 16:00 (nineteen years ago) link

it's great

when i asked superpitcher who did the remix he just smiled beatifically and said 'a good friend, a really nice guy'

"jesus christ himself"

"'Happiness', the most splendid track of the currently released Superpitcher album Here Comes Love, was indispensable to get remixed. To increase or reinterpret the dramatic beauty of the original, was a difficult job. Difficult but also tempting. It was not necessary to ask Michael Mayer twice and Lawrence was quasi finished before he was in demand. The result is two excellent affirmations to the hope, that a remix can be much more than just recycling. The mix by Mayer rebundels the energy of the original and couples 'Happiness' with a lot of craziness. Without losing the primal warmth, he drives your feelings by roller coaster and hits you in the middle of your heart and soul. It got a modern noble rave-tune. Please wack out to it with a big smile on your face. Hamburgs´ expert for poetic techno is called Lawrence. His albums on his own label Dial are a class of its own and certainly belong to the most emotional moments of the newer club-history. You can hear that for Superpitchers' 'Happiness' he invested a lot of heart´s blood. His mix sounds as if angels would sing, so wonderfully lost in reverie. You would like to put yourself inside this track. If you don´t feel anything there, you´re as cold as a Siberian lamp pole. The cover artwork is from Petra Hollenbachs´ amazing 'Happiness' videoclip." This record only exists because of one thing: "...to cause you happiness."

is that the same dude who writes the record summary things on the Kompakt, he is hilarious and a genius whoever he is! He simultaneously mocks things and praises them, describing them perfectly.

"CRYPTIC DEEP TECH HOUSE. LISTEN TO THIS ONE IN YOUR OWN TIME!

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 14:41 (nineteen years ago) link

ha! that's brilliant.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah the Kompakt summaries also cheer me up. On Sweet Light's "Abusator" this week: "SWEET LIGHT IS STROLLING ON BLACK STROBES WAYS GETTING AHEAD OF THEM ON THE GRASS STRIP. MY DARLING, THIS IS A SEQUENCER HIT."

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 00:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I've just discovered another Superpitcher mashup. 'Dry Heroin' = Heroin + the PSBs' 'Home & Dry'. It kind of works, if you think of it as a remix of 'Home & Dry'. I don't think I'll be listening to it again, though.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 01:29 (nineteen years ago) link

one month passes...

'the whole world just gets smaller.' man what a downer!

― cºzen (Cozen), Friday, 14 January 2005 19:06 (nineteen years ago) link

"Superpitcher" always makes me think of the Kool-Aid man.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 14 January 2005 19:38 (nineteen years ago) link

three months pass...

the more i listen to the new mix cd, the more i think it's the best thing kompakt has released in a dog's age

― strng hlkngtn, Wednesday, 27 April 2005 18:18 (nineteen years ago) link

i am excited to hear it!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 18:28 (nineteen years ago) link

this is what superpitchers warm-up sets usually sound like. i always thought they were boring on purpose, so people wouldnt get disturbed while talking and digesting their e. nice to see some people actually like to listen to this stuff at home

― fe zaffe (fezaffe), Thursday, 28 April 2005 00:07 (nineteen years ago) link

It looks great, "Today". It seems to me to be quite similar to the Live@Switch mix that's going around Slsk, and I love that so no complaints here.

I guess we could now add the MFA, M83, and DJ Hell remixes to Andy's compilation above.

Anyone agree that that might be enough to make the remix disc of a Superpitcher "album" better than the other two? I think the remixes are amazing, stuff like the Contriva and the Carsten Jost one, there just isn't really other music that sounds like that.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 28 April 2005 12:47 (nineteen years ago) link

The list above also misses his awesome mix of Glove's "Drogkentrolle" (sp?)

Yeah a remix album rightaboutnow would be very sweet indeed.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 28 April 2005 23:44 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, "ambient skit (rmx.)" > "drogkentrolle" > MFA remix.

I still need to hear the last one out, but yeah alba agrees.

what is the DJ hell rmx.?

there were more superpitcher remixes / tracks played post-mayer at RJG's than any other artists'.

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 28 April 2005 23:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm so psyched to here today though.

and yeah, like mayer, he is a god.

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 28 April 2005 23:51 (nineteen years ago) link

2005 is so great so far!

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 28 April 2005 23:54 (nineteen years ago) link

ranking drogkentrolle over the mfa remix is nuts, just nuts. i'll grant you the ambient skit for sentimental reasons. so has 'today' leaked?

― jermaine (jnoble), Friday, 29 April 2005 00:04 (nineteen years ago) link

I am nuts! ok ok I just don't get the MFA rmx. just yet but as I say I need to hear it out.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 29 April 2005 00:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Cozen when I saw Tobias Thomas in Berlin he mixed Drogkentrolle into the MFA mix! Both were great but the latter really does make dancefloors explode. You need to be totally bathed in the amniotic warmth of those sun-through-the-clouds synths to really get them I think.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 29 April 2005 01:22 (nineteen years ago) link

So, who's going to see Superpitcher at the Dedbeat event at Koko in Camden on Saturday?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 29 April 2005 10:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Have a look at the Annie (From Norway) thread - she's not appearing anymore, but still.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 29 April 2005 11:04 (nineteen years ago) link

A Superpitcher remix of "Come Together" would be ace...

― willem (willem), Friday, 29 April 2005 19:28 (nineteen years ago) link

The remix of the MFA song is indeed a dancefloor monster. For anyone interesting in what taking E feels like, get in a great mood and bring some friends out to a DJ who's going to play this and dance around in the middle of the dancefloor. Oh yeah you should also imagine that world peace has been declared amongst all nations.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 29 April 2005 19:54 (nineteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

Where can I find Today? I'm not on Slsk but I am on DirectConnect (although not right now) -- anyone wanna help me?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:11 (eighteen years ago) link

buy it. </snarky>

i have only heard it twice, but based on those listenings i don't thinkg today does deserves all of the accolades it's getting (and i say that as a huge fan).

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:27 (eighteen years ago) link

wow i really need to proofread my posts

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:27 (eighteen years ago) link

buy it? where? you're in chicago, right? i have no idea where to find stuff like superpitcher mixes around here.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:33 (eighteen years ago) link

i guess i could order it online.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Do you need it right now? I've got in my shares and can get to the ILX DC room after work (like 5:30pm central).

― adam (adam), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Nah, I can't get on DC right now, either. But nor will I be around much tonight. Thanks, though, Adam. Maybe I'll try to find you in there some other time.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Hard Boiled Records on Roscoe near Damen carries pretty much all the Kompakt stuff- the owner (mark) can order it for you, if neede. prices are decent, too.

― scott pl. (scott pl.), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:50 (eighteen years ago) link

ha, I need to proofread my posts, too!

― scott pl. (scott pl.), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:51 (eighteen years ago) link

oh, i like hard boiled. mark is nice. i guess i haven't looked for kompakt stuff there, though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i would try gramaphone, reckless, virgin, and tower in that order....and phone first of course. i don't know hard boiled....

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:35 (eighteen years ago) link

i just tried tower. but no such luck.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:43 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't know gramophone, tho?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:43 (eighteen years ago) link

clikk!

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 19 May 2005 17:21 (eighteen years ago) link

This is a great mix.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 May 2005 17:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks Winslow.

If you are in New England, Newbury Comics has "Today" for $9.99

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 19 May 2005 22:03 (eighteen years ago) link

It is a good mix, but for "this kind of thing", more people need to talk about James Holden's "Balance" mix.

― mope, Thursday, 19 May 2005 22:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Balance is 2 years old already, not to mention being more on the prog-house tip. An updated 2005 Holden mix would be pretty sweet, although I doubt he'd be as gloomy as 'Pitcher.
