house/techno bobbins 2012

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.

http://soundcloud.com/kompakt/sets/michael-mayer-total-12-megaset/

Some of the individual pages for each segment have track lists in the comments.

nice.

i'm liking the new terje ep a lot so far. he's definitely catering to the same folk who ate up "snooze 4 love" but i'm not sure that's a bad thing

I heard about that then completely forgot about it. Much appreciated, gr80!

the terje is marvellous

Yeah Terje is on fire right now, the two tracks I've heard from the EP are both lovely.

I did reasonably well at keeping up with bobbins last year but this thread always runs away from me so bookmarking now.

Any interest in supplementing this thread with a collaborative Spotify playlist?

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.

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...

holy shit @ this kompakt mix! or at least the first 19 mins

that linkwood track is great

and this is otm:

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

It's like a low key cocktail party for you and Michael Mayer recorded it

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.

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

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

so i guess dilla is ultimately responsible for it

Nice, i actually know the milt Jackson version of that song, but had no idea it was from that. i'm starting on the Mayer Marathon as well.. so far so enjoying it, made me check wether Pop Ambient 2012 was out yet. (february)

helpful to think that 0:00 of that mix is likely somewhere between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM and do the math from there.

i want to know what this is!

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 -

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

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d38xbAFnCSQ

The Mike Huckaby SYNTH remixes of Sistol/Pole are absolutely wonderful too

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.

Anyway 2012 house yay!

DJ SOTOFETT - Pulehouse

http://shitfuckyou.com/audio/wania97a.mp3

Vibes.

Think of should go to one of FP's nights at plastic people one of these months... (is it selfish/gauche/RONG! of me to want him to just pump out nothing but house bangers like arp3 and vacuum boogie?)

That Sotofett is great. Expecting good things from the Sex Tags crew this year. Not exactly house I guess but I'm keen to get my hands on one of Rush Hour's James Mason reissues. Discogs prices have been crazy in the last few years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvc1FWjIwsI

When I've heard him play it's nowt but house jams, he's smooth as hell. Classics, odd ball funk, detroit business, just party house all night long. He's a killer DJ. Go see him man.

Oh mmmmm that sounds sweet. If that aint house I don't know what is.

thx for the tip on the james mason, it does sound p rad so far. tho from what i've heard that is def the housiest track

I want someone I know to throw a party where everyone gets really fucked up and they attempt to play that 12hr Mayer mix in its entirety.

that person could be you!

Xposts: Having seen FP dj before I know that much, I was talking about his productions.

Come on somebody, make the Spotify playlist already.

Or is that kind of self-defeating as approx 10% of the songs mentioned here will have made it to Spotify?

I don't know if this is the right thread to post this in but Jim-E Stack's new EP is kind of amazing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVGkj_g_Zq4

He's pretty fuck'd, we just had a mix/interview from him n'all.

http://www.sonicrouter.com/2012/01/sr-mix-115-jim-e-stack-good-years/

You should prob be here tbh: Rolling Dance Partisans 2012

it's all good though.

Another belatedly discovery of 2011 but why didn't anyone tell me about the Margaret Dygas self-titled on Perlon? Very much a dry, skeletal affair, typical of the label I guess - I'm not the biggest expert but on at least a superficial level it's very much like Villalobos' "Alcachofa" texturally - but there's enough darkness to remind me of Chloe while moments such as the live drums on this remind me of Four Tet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIYXlDhb-hQ

I don't want to use the m-word but there's a reason that whole thing took off and stuff like this makes me kinda miss it.

i heard about that dygas record somewhere... thought it was ilx? maybe not tho

this has been growing on me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6uUiEuVHhU

sounds pretty hot creations-y but i guess it's on wolf + lamb

I like the danny daze track but can't really deal with the hot creations thing

that cottam track from way upthread is amazing, it's my sax automatic kneejerk love kicking in. the b-side "twang" is fantastic too

― Cashmere Combabe, Tuesday, January 24, 2012 6:44 AM (6 hours ago)

what is the hot creations thing? i usually don't know what people mean when they say this. i believe there is a wolf + lamb thing that i also don't get

hot creations thing = lee foss "u got me", miguel campbell "something special", danny daze "your everything", hot natured "forward motion", clockwork "it's you again", etc.

it's not too crazily different than the wolf + lamb thing, but with (usually) more prominent vocals/pop hooks. it's lee foss and jamie jones' label idk

no, i mean, i get that its a label with songs, i like a lot of them, but the way people talk about it leads me to think that it is something extra-musical which they don't like about hot creations

I don't get it either. Maybe it sounds better at a rooftop party in LA or poolside in Miami? The plodding house beats, grating vocals and corny R&B samples. All I know is to AVOID Hot Creations/Hot Natured nights in London LIKE THE PLAGUE. Topless, sweaty 17 yr olds in sunglasses pushing on the dance floor.. no thanks.

Maybe it sounds better at a rooftop party in LA or poolside in Miami

i love it because it sounds exactly like a rooftop party in LA or poolside in miami

ah, okay, well, i live in FL so i'm more inclined to associate poolside miami with the hot creations sound than sweaty 17yo londoners

Topless, sweaty 17 yr olds in sunglasses pushing on the dance floor

this sounded awesome until it dawned on me that you were probably talking about guys

it makes me want to go to more hot creations nights in london, certainly

lol

xp

I just got the first Hinge Finger from Madteo: http://www.discogs.com/Madteo-Bugler-Gold-Pt1/release/3269305 it's a well nice slab of odd ball house.

Looking forward to this too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGVP5A36nsY

Really enjoyed that album, it was a good substitute for a new Pantha Du Prince record.

Nicholas Desamory, "Move Your Assets": http://soundcloud.com/nicholas-bussmann/sets/nicholas-desamory-like-you-1. Lush house w/ great vocals.

I'm rather behind but the new Legowelt album is start-to-finish fantastic.

that would put me pretty far behind as well, but it really is quite solid. it may actually be his best release to date? not sure yet tbh

i'm just now catching up with the (surprisingly deep) 2012 l.i.e.s. catalog, 010.5 is an initial favorite:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijv9hQMUm_8

this wolfers project turned out pretty well too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTyZm9qr37A

oh nice was unaware of lafonte&bonquiqui

f'n finally: listen to the third track and thank me later http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/view/111157

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCHVQ75xjOc

phillipp boston - night chime

kind of on obvious one but its not been mentioned

Yeah, l.i.e.s is pretty ok ; )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y54_cBl9hqw

The question remains, how can I tolerate/enjoy Benoit and Sergio and loathe Hot Creations. I'm feeling inconsistent.

Benoit & Sergio have a much better sense of songcraft than a lot of their contemporaries.

Yeah, l.i.e.s is pretty ok ; )

ha, yea i feel weird talking about it on ilm cause there seems to be a lot of (in some cases very direct!) connections.hassan has some amazing cosmic vibes, btw, good work. you had to have a full band setup on those tracks, right?

does anyone know if delroy edwards is a real artist or a pseudonym? 4 club use only kills it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G18E-KhH37Q

delroy edwards is not his real name, he's a young guy and this is (i'm pretty sure) his first record.

new maya jane coles ep is SO GORGEOUS

https://soundcloud.com/mayajanecoles/sets/easier-to-hide-ep-i-am-me

The question remains, how can I tolerate/enjoy Benoit and Sergio and loathe Hot Creations

lol, this is the other way round for me. i still don't get why so many people really viscerally hate hot creations, they hit my sweet spot so often

Well first of all they took one of my favorite electro producers and turned him into Maceo Plex, which is not a slight I'll forgive easily.

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

I suppose they share some responsibility with Crosstown Rebels, but still, what happened?

When your nice polite IDM producer starts to hang out with Jamie Jones and Damian Lazarus: watch out kids.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCiDi3eSEYM

Been a long time since I've been excited by a new liebe detail release but hey, this is catchy enough for me.

Xxxpost thanks psychgawsple! Nope - HASSAN is just myself
and some synths / drum machines.

When your nice polite IDM producer starts to hang out with Jamie Jones and Damian Lazarus: watch out kids.

i think he got a big initial chunk of his fanbase recording under the maetrik moniker, seems like semi-generic if still technically impressive tech-house was definitely a gateway drug

What is the word on L.I.E.S.?

Shit I can't read.

The Forward Strategy Group is really good, all clanging, metallic textures against industrial dones - makes me think of Andy Stott's recent material but played at 45 instead of 33.

how did I just now notice this via a year-end list today? Sounds up my alley, going to listen when I get home

Somehow or other I accidentally posted this in the Gay thread (!), but, as I said there:

This is some sounds like B12 in 2012 absolutely WOW type shit right here (thanking u LWE end of year tracks list):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Q2sPleFtU

Whoops, I meant this mix:

1999! That's Persuader's Vasastaden.

of course! was supposed to go on the ID thread but no one looks at that, and this thread isn't long for this world so why not

and then this going back to my roots / changes of life sounding thin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igEulc4K90I

Damn, how have I missed that Paranoid London track for so long? Been telling everyone about it only for them all to say they know it already.

So is it just me or are these incredibly similar?
They are quite similar. (Just in case you've been waiting for somebody to respond)

is there any reason for the lack of lil louis digital/cd releases? it sucks when I want to listen the conversation and all i have is this low volume vinyl rip with nonexistent bass.
