I understand what you're saying tho, like it has to be TIME for the percolator, and if it isn't.....

that;s right rev
I get angry when people play Percolator and it's clearly not yet time for the Percolator. By people, I mean my often DJ partner Mike.

similarly many people don't MAKE THE TRANSITION
if you're not MAKING YOUR TRANSITION when you play that song you're doing it wrong, it needs to be the EPIC OFFICIAL PEAK of your set no matter what
― the late great, Thursday, 23 August 2012 20:36 (8 months ago) Permalink
well, look at the relative DJ careers of Mike Simonetti and myself since 2004, then ask yourself how important it is to only play Percolater when it's actually time for the Percolator.

hmmm no berghain-ish techno so far...and probably there won't be one?
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Thursday, 23 August 2012 22:27 (8 months ago) Permalink
Seems like the whole Berghain sound is kind of opposed to the sort of anthemic song of the season type tracks that make it in these lists. Excepting stuff like Yours by Steffi, how many Dettman tracks stand out as individual works of mastery?
― formerly EDB (ed.b), Thursday, 23 August 2012 22:34 (8 months ago) Permalink
dettmann-type tracks, that is.
yeah, I get what you mean. but I thought something like EQD would place.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Thursday, 23 August 2012 22:40 (8 months ago) Permalink
all of them
and some of that EQD will place high i think
― the late great, Thursday, 23 August 2012 22:43 (8 months ago) Permalink
I think the only Shed I voted for, actually, was Well Done. That said, I would support seeing a handful of his stuff in the top 40.

Had these as my numbers 6/7/12/5, pretty surprised that none of them were top 20 or even higher. In fact 6 of my top 10 have now appeared, and I suspect 2 of the ones that remain won't place, but at least one will be top 10.

38. Röyksopp - What Else Is There? (Trentemoller remix) (264 points, 8 votes)Year: 2005Youtube: http://youtu.be/zzOny-VHg7A
I think, for me, this one actually has everything the original had and more, like even the quiet bit is more deftly produced, something about the way the strings well up in the breakdown is so much more affecting, and I did like the original alot but it was a bit of a used style I thought, the Trentemoller one has this really weird dramatic, almost cinematic feel to the breakdown, which I didn't get in the original so much, good and all as it was.(then it has a ridiculously ott pay off!) ― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, October 25, 2005
I was thinking a while back that Andre Kraml's "Safari" had this secret property which brought the best out in its remixers, maybe this track has it too.― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, November 26, 2005

37. Todd Terje - Snooze 4 Love (264 points, 8 votes)Year: 2011Youtube: http://youtu.be/rQx5EAfirhc
If any 12 this year deserves it's own thread it's this one. both 'ragysh' and 'snooze 4 love' almost clinical in their perfection. 'bonysh' popped up on my ipod the other day and sounded like a great club tool also.― second only to popcorn (or something), Friday, June 3, 2011
It's driving me crazy how the portamento only kicks in on the top 2 notes of the arpeggio. Or maybe he's just put the two notes really close together and not quantized them. But it's a sound that is both jarring and yet slightly exciting, like, I listen out for it every time to see if I can work it out. Manages to be both expected and unexpected. Clever.― Karen D. Tregaskin, Monday, June 6, 2011
i only REALLY understood it when i danced to it at a party. and only when i couldn't put my finger on what it 'is' (trainspotting as self defense etc), i realized this is a proper unclassic dance anthem (of 'knights of the jaguar' proportions), but in EXTREME slow motion. it's totally fucking with temporality, i think. it's almost like it has managed to exist only through creating a loophole through time, escaping a nanosecond before the canon of the dance has completely closed.― cuteforce, Monday, June 6, 2011

36. Daft Punk - Face to Face (275 points, 9 votes)Year: 2001Youtube: http://youtu.be/dKJfJMMsqX4
I think Face to Face by the dafties and Godd Edwards is the best pop song of the new millenium....any thoughts????― geeg, Saturday, July 13, 2002
The line in "Face to Face" on Daft Punk's 'Discovery' that goes "...when you finally get involved, face to face" makes the song seem for a second like some 80s after-school special about confronting a friend about his worsening drug habit.― Clarke B., Thursday, January 3, 2002
I also heard this yesterday. Sometimes, my revulsion at the tastes of the general population has detrimental consequences as, in this instance, it resulted in me missing this awesomeness.― hmmm (hmmm), Saturday, March 12, 2005

I don't know what this track is but it sounds like The Spice Girls being mashed-up with a generic garage song. Must be a British thing.

They do get positive points for using Satie in the remix in a somewhat subtle way.
