Why is that, are you talking about sex, too sexy for you? That's What I love about Closer Musik/Matias Aguayo, He's not afraid of returning dance music to bare sexually. Unlike the sometimes sterile Intelligent dance music. Is it sometimes camp, yeah but A lot more fun dancing to.

Discuss.
(A great review [i.e. in style, substance and sustaining interest] -- regardless of the gas, the requisite P'Fork "...Re-Animator lab mistake of Factory-style gothic indie and chugging house" insider reference, and the "Konpakt." First time in a long time I've read a P'Fork review from start to finish. Maybe since the M.A.N.D.Y. review?)

That is so you can easily get closer! A vocoder would've ruined it for me (same goes for the Aguayo album, which is sounding excellent thus far).
CM were like my Beatles or Associates.

i am glad to read about "simplicity of rhythms" on the album. i could listen to that "lovefood" rmx all day.

I want to say the same thing, but Kompakt/Areal realizes that the dancefloor in LA would consist of exactly 12 indie-rocker-but-really-likes-Kompakt guys, and, despite the fact that these guys actually WILL dance, it's too depressing to note that this is because the space will actually be comfortable enough to shake some ass, because there will be plenty of room, because there will be no women nor club-goer types, because LA is a terible city for dancing, because no one wants to mess up their hair or risk looking uncool. So why bother...

Also, that Matias/Alex Turner track "De Papal" sounds a lot like "Risingson" by Massive Atttack!

but yeah, packed is not good. i could imagine it being rammed. do you kompakt could get arena style events in cologne? why not a 1000-2000 capacity kompakt rave?!??!!
pdf - you should buy the superpitcher "today" mix, the herbert "letsallmakemistakes" mix, the daniel bell "return of the button down mind", my best friend "flashback" cd, michael mayer "immer". i think they are all danceable but soothing, or something. the first of those is awesome.

I recently put it back up for someone, and a couple others got it around the same time, so it must be floating around more than ever.

i'm your biggest fan. i listened to all the albums that you had on your best-of page last year and agreed with all but three choices. could you please tell me how to get some of the mixes you had on your old doubt beat pages as well as "stranger in town or back in '72 or something"?
sincerely,nate
ps. is the dj koze album kicking your ass too?
― natedey, Friday, 26 August 2005 16:49 (eighteen years ago) link
Thank you for the kind words. Every now and then -- that is, whenever I'm able to update (okay, every one-three weeks) -- I'll be putting up an old mix. One is currently up now.
Jury's out on Koze as I haven't spent much time with it.
― Andy_K (Andy_K), Friday, 26 August 2005 17:04 (eighteen years ago) link
i hadn't noticed that you'd put up the fourth edition. I'll definitely check that out when I get back home. Thanks for the mix and the words...you should really put up links to your writing on allmusic - although I can usually guess what you'll write about, it's nonetheless annoying to try to find yr reviews!
For me, the jury's definitely leaning in Koze's favor...
