I think a Superpitcher Remix compilation would be fairly unbeatable.

especially if it included the first two singles as a bonus disc.

SUPERPITCHER VS. THE CONGOSOUND SAY I AM YOUR NUMBER ONE GREAT COLLABORATION BETWEEN SUPERPITCHER WHO COMES UP WITH A REMIX, AND CARLES CONGOST AND HIS COLLEAGUE VINCENT FIBLA. TIP.
Why isn't this available in the Kompakt MP3 store??
― Alba, Thursday, 10 April 2008 20:31 (sixteen years ago) link
'Today' really is wonderful. Pretty much every track gets a full work out yet it still feels like a cohesive DJ mix. Best mix comp on Kompakt for me.

Haven't seen anything around from him in a long while, minus the supermayer thing. Not that I've been looking hard for anything. Any news of a future release or anything? What's he been up to
― van smack, Friday, 7 August 2009 03:29 (fourteen years ago) link
Supermayer was a disappointment for me. I was expecting the album to be more like their remixes, which it wasn't. Tonite was the last thing he did that I really loved.

He has a remix of Charlotte Gainsbourg's "The Operation" on Immer 3 which is very nice - doesn't look like it's been released. "Rabbits in a Hurry" got a weird limited release. And Discogs suggests that there's a newish remix by him & Tobias Thomas of Tocotronic - haven't heard anything about that.
― with hidden noise, Friday, 25 June 2010 02:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Currently listening to Rabbits In a Hurry. Quite funky, less angsty than the old stuff. Beat is a bit I Zimbra and the vocals are a bit like a German Matthew Dear. Interesting although wonder how this will work across a whole album.
Having said that personally I've always felt that Superpitcher was more of a singles/remix artist who suffered from the curse of the patchy dance music album.

can we just talk about how "heroin" is like, perhaps the finest example of this particular genre
― faust LARP (s1ocki), Monday, 18 October 2010 13:56 (thirteen years ago) link
It is so amazing. There are sadly v few records like it IMO...especially these days...
― I see what this is (Local Garda), Monday, 18 October 2010 23:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Ok I've never listened to Heroin but I generally enjoy his aesthetics. Will have to come back with my verdict.
― Moka, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 02:10 (thirteen years ago) link
It is amazing. How come noone played this song for me before? It does sound eerily familiar...I'm pretty sure I've overheard it somewhere in the past, or maybe it's just its pop appeal, only one listen and I'm sold. It is already amongst my favorite songs in his catalogue.
― Moka, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 02:15 (thirteen years ago) link
i love it so much. it is absolutely entrancing.
― george pimpton (s1ocki), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 02:56 (thirteen years ago) link
feel like i should make a spitcher 'best of' playlist including remixes he's done. what would u guys put on it?
― george pimpton (s1ocki), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 02:57 (thirteen years ago) link

more heroin / tomorrow?
what else
― george pimpton (s1ocki), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 02:58 (thirteen years ago) link
mine would probably tip in the direction of his remix work. definitely definitely put his rmx of 'the difference it makes' by the mfa, and i'd say also his m83 remix whose title i don't remember offhand
― womack and bolio's (donna rouge), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 02:59 (thirteen years ago) link
oh ha this thread started with that very idea
― george pimpton (s1ocki), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 02:59 (thirteen years ago) link
o ya mfa remix for sure
oh, it is "don't save us from the flames" that i was thinking of
― womack and bolio's (donna rouge), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 03:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Already mentioned several times throughout thread but these are among his best:
Charlotte Gainsbourg - The Operation (Superpitcher remix)Dntel - Evan and Chan (Superpitcher kompakt remix)Quarks - I Walk (Superpitcher schaffel mix)MFA - The Difference It Makes (Superpitcher remix)M83 - Don't Save Us From The Flames (Superpitcher Remix)
― Moka, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 03:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Not mentioned here for whatever reason but really good:
Lawrence, "Along the Wire (Superpitcher remix)"Sasch Funke, "Mango (Tobias Thomas & Superpitcher's como mango version)"
― with hidden noise, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 04:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Mango remix is good but falls short in comparison to Dj Koze's.
― Moka, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 04:18 (thirteen years ago) link
These are the other essential ones IMO:
Hell - "Je Regrette Everything" (Superpitcher Remix)Ghost Cauldron – See What I’ve Become (Superpitcher Smallville Mix)Carsten Jost – Krokus (Superpitcher Remix)Phantom Ghost – Perfect Lovers (Unperfect Love Mix)
― Tim F, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 05:03 (thirteen years ago) link
The moment the bass comes in on that Hell remix: insane. The manager of the place I held a party once ran towards my DJ friend to demand the master volume to be lowered. lolz
― willem, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 07:39 (thirteen years ago) link
another essential remix:Tocotronic - "Hi Freaks" (Superpitcher's Beautiful Freak Remix)
― willem, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 07:52 (thirteen years ago) link
lullabies in the dark - iridium (superpitcher remix)superpitcher - happiness (m.mayer remix) <= this is the godhead for mesuperpitcher - the long waysuperpitcher - mushroom

andy k made a huge comp called "non album tracks" a few years back and believe me, every single song on it was pretty great. he did such a weird and wide range of techno, one of the most original producers.
― I see what this is (Local Garda), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 11:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Amazing how lonely sounding so much of his music is, even when it's doing hands-in-the-air communality at the same time. No idea how he continues to pull it off.
That Lullabies In The Dark remix from a couple of years ago is one of my favourite pieces of music ever.

the only tracks on my best of superpitcher playlist that haven't already been mentioned were Irre and Tell Me About It.
but Mushroom was always my favourite, such a unique mood to it.

Yeah it's very easy to just assume that there's a single "superpitcher sound" (especially based on the first album) but his remixes in particular cover a lot of ground, very inventively most of the time I think.
Not sure whether I'd listen to it an awful lot on its own but "Irre" works so so well as the opening track on the first Spiecher mix.

Tell Me About It is my jam at the moment, my housemates are SICK of me listening to it on repeat...but it's just so good. Haunting, melancholy, sounds like every Kompakt record should doesn't it?
― Darren Huckerby (Dwight Yorke), Sunday, 24 October 2010 00:59 (thirteen years ago) link
I imagine I'd pay good money for a Double Disc Superpitcher remix comp.
And I must note that I think his/T. Thomas' remix of Mango is indeed better than the already really good Koze remix.
Anyways,
Copies of Kilimanjaro were unusually cheap at a local record store, so I picked one up. Enjoyed it a good deal, especially Country Boy, Joanna, and Friday Night (which is just so wonderfully glorious). Regarding the vocals: I think with Superpitcher you kind of have to take the whole package, the whole persona, I guess, that's behind his music (well, his own productions), which indeed does have a lot of personality. I don't know, but looking in the cd case (e.g. at the portraits of him) I get a kind of debonair playboy vibe from him which I find kind of charming. I think this album is at heart an artist-album, and it just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't his voice, even if it, and the lyrics, can sound (wonderfully) cheesy ("sugar girl don't give me pain, don't leave me standing in the rain" got a big smile from me). Though there are some weaker tracks on it, who can deny a good Superpitcher fix, no?

I almost struggled over to you somewhere in the last half hour to note that he had now dropped a marble into the washing machine. "tonk! ....tonk! ....tonk!...."
