So much hotness, when the guitar lead fades in as the synth sweep peaks.. oh man. Then the beat's back.

56. Akufen - Deck the House (207 points, 6 votes, 1 first place vote) Year: 2002Youtube: http://youtu.be/w7nNF0FJ3-I
what I love about 'Deck The House' is that I think he started off with an expert house chord sequence, then oriented the samples on top to compliment & harmonize with it to take it in more of a dissonant / Public Enemy direction, then subtracted the chord pads. The bass line points at the chords, the dozens of brief tonal stabs hint at the harmony & drive everything forward -- you can feel where the music should be, but the absence is disorienting, the only thing you can count on is the rhythm

It just needs some samples going "I CHALLENGE THEE" "TO" "A DANCING""CONTEST!""I'M GONNA EAT YOUR""UMBRELLA"Oh hahahahah, now hit me with a hilarious kung fu sample.― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, December 10, 2002 10:33 AM (9 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I don't think I know the original mix but that guitar lick in DJ Koze's mix of "minimal" is so funked up yet supple and mirage-like

Oh damn "deck the house" rocks. Just so fun. Akufen live was one of the funnest, sweatiest shows I've been to.

I love when akufen throws down those bluesy/honkytonk harmonica "micro"samples on his deck the house type stuff. Just adds this awesome bit of swing and character.

And I just realized that the 'emerge' version I have had on my ipod all this years isn't the actual single. Apparently I was only acquainted with the DFA remix after all.

I saw Akufen walk in to talk to people around the end of mutek this year! Fond memories of a dj set I saw him do at night, outside, near a lake years ago.

I love the original Emerge. Super sparse and perfect. Haven't listened to the album in forever but remember it being really good.

I liked the second album, too. Judge me.

second album was better than the first, even if it had no 'emerge' holding it up

I regret not voting but am happy to see so much stuff I would've voted for making the cut. I'm a little sad that "Transition" didn't make it higher; that's a really "big" song for me.

xp, dang I need to check the second one out I guess. Don't remember hearing much about it, at the time.

yeah i really feel like transition should be much higher. I don't remember seeing it in the submissions (i thought it was like 98 or something or i would have voted for it top 10) does anyone know if it was added later in the post voting period, or i just missed it?

I think I like Bitches Brew more than 'Fizheuer Zieheuer', it also has some horns on it.― Omar (Omar), Thursday, November 23, 2006
so, the promos of 'fizheuer zieheuer' have dropped and it's totally insane - i can't stop laughing whilst listening to it. it definitely lives up to the hype. a parping, dubbed out, industrial klanking balkan freak out. i've no idea how long it is but i felt it could have gone on a wee bit longer. :)― stirmonster (stirmonster), Friday, October 6, 2006
Fizheuer's context is firmly early hours; that's when Villalobos generally DJs (even in London he never starts before 5); the concept of dancefloor friendliness changes the later the hour, but at the same time it's not like you could ever rock a party with Duso.― a (rslvd), Tuesday, November 21, 2006

Brutalga Square I could never get that into. Koze Comes Around got a lot of love but I wasn't able to warm up to it so much.

52. Antena - Camino del Sol (Joakim remix) (217 points, 7 votes, 1 first place vote)Year: 2006Youtube: http://youtu.be/GQLnq3PsFZ8
Antena's "Camina Del Sol (Joakim Mix)" is just too big for words - it's like, trance revivalism meets Ame meets Carl Craig meets, I dunno, just skyscraping largesse. It's almost too big: the whole thing feels incredibly deliberate. But it would be pretty astonishing on the dancefloor.― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, October 1, 2006

Was the #1 vote you Tim?
I went to Las Vegas once and I swear one of the best moments I had there was hearing 'camino del sol' on a club. I don't know if that makes my Vegas trip lame or awesome.
― Moka, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 04:55 (9 months ago) Permalink
That said I prefer the original one since I knew it first and I have more memories attached to it but the Joakim mix is huge.

Despite adoring both "Life's a Beach" and "Losing My Edge", I didn't vote for either for fear that people would get angry with some interloper indie-ing up the proceedings.
