Pretty boring list, actually, but nevertheless it's a pretty spot on representation of me (also take into account that I didn't start listening to dance music until 2006).

cozen that motor track is brutal

it is ridic

Oh god, Easy Woman is properly sexy.

This is worth looking into:

god, just wanted to say that the post about Kompakt above reminded me that i have been listening to A LOT of early Jurgen Paape recently. in fact, its mostly been UR, Jurgen Paape, and Ian loveday tracks in these parts as of recent. nothing new.

also, hey, it just occurred to me: whatever happened to Jichael Mackson?

yeah i agree, new music is shit

sike, just kidding

i'm thoroughly enjoying the new "alex o smith" record. was kinda lukewarm on here with me, the new one is a bit more upbeat, star-gazing ashra style arpeggios

the drums on "kosmos 1402" are so... crispy

afaik jichael mackson hasn't put anything out since the same but different ep last year. unless he has a new pseudonym

forgot about the polmo polpo cover version - nice inclusion!

Should be picking up Frictionalism sometime in the next few days...

new gui boratto mix thing sounds great to me

UR - Somewhere In Japan - 12EP
Code: WPA-4UR-079
COMING SOON.......LATE FEBRUARY / EARLY MARCH 2010!!!
W.P.A. Mail Order ONLY release.

can you elaborate on that sir ilx-a-lot? been hammering No Turning Back (and the Whignomy Bros mix) recently.

ha, you can call me cutty

it's called "renaissance - the mix collection"

http://www.recordstore.co.uk/images/covers10/01.2010/renaissance_mix_collection_gui_boratto-300.jpg

i always am wary of people who started DJing after successful production career ie green velvet, james holden(for the first few years), half the kitsune roster. smacks of rank opportunism

what about the other way around?

more like smacks of rank wanting to eat

Dj's are now taking time off to produce tracks so they can get more DJ bookings. Don't hate the player (of records), hate the game (of booking).

SELLOUTS

I know sod all about techno/house bobbins but I do know that James Holden had a local DJing residency years before he produced a track successful enough for me to go "damn, I wish I'd turned up to that" so perhaps that is unfair (or perhaps I should fuck back off the bobbins thread)

though yes, production famous before DJing, point taken, just questioning "started"

Hmmm, the tracklisting for the Gui Borrato mix looks interesting enough but the proliferation of podcasts (I usually grab ones on FACT, RA, LWE regularly) has kinda given me mix fatigue. Maybe I should just stop downloading them....

^ Completely! To be honest, I've always been a mix junky so I find it very hard to resist. Having said that, the most exciting recent mixes have come from the UK / dubstep camp e.g. Scuba Substance, Shed FACT, Appleblim Fabric, Oneman's Winter Mix. Finding little to get excited about on the 4 to the floor side (with the exception of the mnml ssgs series).

the gui boratto mix is eh. most mixes are kind of eh, have no patience with them any longer.

also, pretty much any mix a la Renaissance or Cocoon or Mobilee or Get Physical = total garbage toss-off bullshit.

they proliferate like mushrooms, and though mushrooms can be tasty, they also grow in shit.

Dixon's Body Language mix on Get Physical is great!

Dixon's Body Language mix on Get Physical is great!

you mean the one from years ago or he has a new one?

ah, nevermind. i realize that you were replying to table's post.

didn't see any talk of that Afrobutt LP from last year on ILM at all via search except for one Matos post. how come people slept on this (not that i didn't myself)?

villalobos remix of mirko loko's "tahktok" is so gorgeous

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aZwmjwy9ag

it's been a while since i've been this impressed by either villalobos or cadenza. so beautiful

Was ambivalent about asking the record store to order it for me, thanks for tipping me off. The carl craig mix sounded good from the samples I heard, also.

this bahaus track is made by chris liebing, if somebody cares. https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/225800/bauhaus

yes, just dropping in to confirm: carl craig mix of "love harmonic" is epic. best cadenza release for a long while

Been liking some of Mendo + Danny Serano's beats lately.

A friend of mine is in Spain at the moment, hoping he'll report back on the state of things over there soon.

Any thoughts on the Barraca label's recent ouput?

Loved this:

big fan of milton bradley at the moment

Proper release should be in stores shortly.

Should anyone happen to be interested in what the top 10 of that best of the 00's list I posted upthread sounds like, then please: DJs post your mixes for download

only really listening to Motor City Drum Ensemble, is pretty awesome.

anyone has recommendation of mixes (either commercial or free) that's similar to Tama Sumo's Panorama Bar 02? Thanks.

"La Cantada" by Simone Burrini my fave bobbins of 2010 so far. Very in the Luciano/Villalobos vibe, but prettier than either, and w/a GORGEOUS female spanish vocal

what does everyone think of the miracles club? read about on p sh3rbs blog. i dig "light of love" more than "chango". maybe this belongs on a balearic beardo thread or something tho... also second his love for
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3qsMGGJULk

now that i think about that, maybe it's because i tend to hear one track, learn about a new label, and then sort of relentlessly track down their whole back catalogue if i like it enough

otm, I do this with artists or related artists

Honestly, fuck staying current. Not that I don't follow new stuff with very much enjoyment, to have the question "did it come out in the last year" define your listening tastes is myopic, counterproductive, and just silly. (This is why, for instance, I would welcome '10 or even '09 stuff in the 2011 thread. Better it be spoken there than have nowhere to go).

the nuum only moves forward iirc

sometimes doesn't bother to even look backward, or sideways
