liking that Mr Beatnik. Will seek.

New Moomin EP is really good, a nice follow-up to his full-length from last year (one of my favorite electronic full-lengths of the year for sure):

the todd terje remix of joakim in this beats in space mix is amazing. and it's one of tim's best mixes in a while as a whole, lots of great stuff in there.

midland's placement ep on aus music is so gorgeous. TEXTURES <3

one of those awesome techno releases that sounds just as good soothing your hangover as in a club

That todd terje remix of joakim's nothing gold is out today and it's great.

On the assumption that the board will figure out what I'm trying to do here...

Dj Pierre - ACiD (Pierre's ACiD FACE Mix)

its obvious, you are creating a new kind of personality test. sad indie types will click on the b/w photo while well-adjusted people will be drawn to the bold colors of the pierre album and click on that.

you know i'm not much one for boys noize or the whole post-oizo farty french scene but can i just say that BNR TRAX has just been consistently awesome since day 1?

ah, my previous post was slightly more ambiguous than I intended. I wasn't sure if I'd need to do anything more than paste the youtube links in.

I'm not familiar with the rest of bnr trax's output. Anything that you can recommend?

yep ... strip steve & das glow, bobmo, shadow dancer, audionite, etc

i'm all about bangers

there was one really good boys noize thing that was blatantly meant to be a roulé tribute, from the titles etc.

boys noize the artist?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PouGB9m0Gkc

can't remember for certain but think "puzique" is him...

this one isn't really daft punky but just remembered what a total banger it is...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_TSxLFm_D4&feature=related

oh yeah puzique is a team-up of boys noize and DIM

you're talking about the THOMAS (bangalter) EP?

the second one sounds like bangalter too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLYj1GXsKmU

alternately could have posted "outrage" or "de-rezzed" i guess

yeah it is a little like "outrage" i guess to be fair.

you know i'm not much one for boys noize

man me neither but I like this new one with Erol Alkan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOImjrZ0dTI

sometimes I think I really like Boys Noize but sometimes I think his stuff is just horrible distorted frankenhouse crap, guy is so inconsistent.

the whole scene is like that imo, and its a pain because that stuff sounds like crap mixed w. more trad bobbins so dudes end up playing like a straight hour of it

nice to see labels like BNR trax, marble players, sound pellegrino etc taking it back in a more bobbins-friendly direction

Yeah, the stuff Boys Noize does with Erol is a lot more Alkany than the usual BN schtick. I don't think it's that BN is inconsistent so much as he's really affected by who he's working with.

xpost i think one time you called that overdriven french synth sound "ear-raping nanobots" (w/ negative connotation), always thought it was a very appropriate turn of phrase

ha hahahahahha erm, that's not ~exactly~ how I put it, but hahahaha um, yeah.

o_O

I remember really liking all the singles in the run-up to the first BN album, and all the remixes, but just getting a headache trying to listen to the album. "Adonis" is a great single which piqued my interest again, but all the Alkan collabs have been so face-meltingly generic in the worst way that I'm not wanting to dive in again.

puzique is BN & DIM

suite 9 & don't go are both classics

repping hard for Don't Go

The new Shifted album Crossed Paths is really doing it for me.

If you dug Perc's album from last year I think you will like it.

anyone digs sex tags mania? checkin out the samples now and I'm liking it.

the kong oscar record is great - only 200 released tho, not easy to get hold of

frankfurt sessions is good too

Sex Tags is a great label. Check related labels like Wania and Acido too../

from end of 2011 - kinda pastichey but i can live with it

I've got the Maya Jane Coles DJ-Kicks on, bit too tasteful/polite for me.

i'm listening to it for the first time, was expecting to dislike it, based only on the sources and tone of the hype i'm hearing about her, but actually i really like it. is it polite? i have it on *really loud* since i'm home alone in the middle of the day and it kinda kicks actually, some of the beats are pretty tough despite the frippery on top

ok man you're totally nuts, this gerry read / t williams / marcel dettmann bit at the end is totally rugged

4.5 / 5

Love MJC, looking forward to hearing the mix.

it's really really really good

it does take awhile to warm up and there is some tubular bells type mellowness upfront but around the fifth track it starts to get jacking and gets more and more jacking until the end

this is probably my favorite commercial mix i've heard since the elijah and skiliam rinse thing and i keep up on that stuff

that's probably not a good comparison

was trying to think of what traditional house mix i've enjoyed this much and i had to go back kind of far, maybe motor city drum ensembles dj kicks, but that's not as housey. the middle of this is really jacking, reminds me of labels like classic but with a lot more space and swing in the beats

Folks, check out Ghilbi: http://ghibli.bandcamp.com/album/2011

I'd love to hear thoughts about this dude.

DL'ed the Ghilbi thing awhile back, dude really needs to take it easy with the harsh eq's and dynamics processing. There are some cool ideas on the album but it's impossible to listen to because it's brickwalled to shit.

what is brick-walled?
