Steve, what did you think of that Cut Copy remix?

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Thursday, 21 October 2004 13:18 (8 years ago) Permalink

can't seem to find that :( but that Naivepop Or Petitfool thing is fantastic :D

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 13:23 (8 years ago) Permalink

it's a bit bludgeoning, but it's not that bad I guess. maybe without Braxe he's nothing. that label's kind of crap but the Patrick Alavi Power/Glory 12 inch is really good.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 21 October 2004 13:24 (8 years ago) Permalink

oh i've found it now, will listen and respond

I was slightly taking the piss when I sent you that Plus-Tech Squeeze Box thing (because I really couldn't picture you getting into hyperactive Japanese tech-blender-pop), but glad you like it. Let me know about the Cornelius too.

While I'm still waiting for Steve's response, I gotta wonder if there's more out than just that Fred Falke thing. Again on the Cut Copy tip, 'Saturdays' is out as an AUS single and is easily one of the best things ever in 2004. The tragedy is that his remixers aren't French house or filterdisco producers.

the Cut Copy remix is alright but it hasn't grabbed me i must confess.

did anyone hear that Cassius track 'Losing North' that i mentioned upthread - love their basslines - they must have a new album out soon

i still need to hear the other Hystereo tracks

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 22 October 2004 11:27 (8 years ago) Permalink

I need to hear them full stop.

I love that remix so because it's 'Glittering Clouds' gone rock. You MUST hear 'Saturdays'.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 22 October 2004 11:38 (8 years ago) Permalink

And you must also play both at a fuck-off volume to really appreciate them.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 22 October 2004 11:38 (8 years ago) Permalink

i love Saturdays, it was a bit of a grower. Glittering Clouds best thing evah obv.

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 22 October 2004 11:44 (8 years ago) Permalink

Did you hear 'Live'?

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 22 October 2004 11:51 (8 years ago) Permalink

yeh - my intro to Cut Copy was via Flo-Motion on XFM a couple of years back. Luscombe only had to mention 'same stable as The Avalanches' and i was trying to find what i could. as it turned out then 'Glittering Clouds' and 'Live' were all i did find and i liked them both a lot.

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 22 October 2004 12:05 (8 years ago) Permalink

I listened to the Rex Records EP/I Thought Of Numbers yet again last night. His 80s influences were better when he was more camp and wider-ranging. I'll send you the rest of the EP when I move back/if you need.

there were a couple of good Sonic Animation tracks floating around back then as well weren't there? not very French tho - u have?

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 22 October 2004 12:35 (8 years ago) Permalink

ARGH NO NOT SONIC ANIMATION NO! FLEE STEVE FLEE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 22 October 2004 12:42 (8 years ago) Permalink

ha, a friend of mine said the same after initally championing one track of theirs. i've not heard enough to know. 'I'm The DJ' amused me tho.

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 22 October 2004 12:49 (8 years ago) Permalink

Sonic Animation are a fine example of everything that is wrong with Australian dance music.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 22 October 2004 13:00 (8 years ago) Permalink

that just makes me want to hear them even more...

search out Alyoa - It's Been Too Long, a wonderful feel-good anthem for the summer.

it reminds me of a pet shop boys track. "always on my mind", maybe

Vahid! Jess & Crabbe's "In Your Eer" is the awesomeness!

'Discopolis' is omnipresent these days. It's great of course.

― Omar (Omar), Saturday, 6 August 2005 07:57 (7 years ago) Permalink

'Discopolis' may be the finest dance track I've heard in a while, omnipresent or not....

I too love "Discopolis".

Its not really filterdisco is it? Oh well. In spirit.

anyone heard the new kris menace track, "Voyage"?

― grady (grady), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:25 (7 years ago) Permalink

Does anyone remember the name of french house song with a video clip that had a guy entering a club with a vinyl album in one hand and then he enters a club and tosses it to the dj that plays it and the guy then starts dancing off against other people. He eventually wins all the battles and walks out of the club.

Any help naming the song would be appreciated.

i know that video but i cant remember the title either :\

the new Alan Braxe & Fred Falke, "Defender", is a pretty awful Human After All ripoff. the b-side is v nice though!

― fez, Saturday, 29 April 2006 17:24 (7 years ago) Permalink

And although not French, the new Full Intention, "I Believe In You", fully qualifies for this thread.

Joachim Garraud - Rock The Choice is kinda cool

where are the filterhouse dj sets??

― W i l l (common_person), Sunday, 30 April 2006 18:33 (7 years ago) Permalink

I'm in love with "High On" by Lifelike and desperately need more trance-house like it!!

― gaseous (gaseous), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 07:00 (7 years ago) Permalink

I too love "Discopolis".

but i cant find it anywhere for sale any more, apparently being a full year too late.

also, didnt know siegbran was still around?

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 13:43 (7 years ago) Permalink

I've seen this record around quite a lot in stores, so maybe that helps. And mixed it's on tons of compilations.

I'm still around.

― Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 18:15 (7 years ago) Permalink

I'm such a cheeseball I still can't get enough of this stuff. Especially Lifelike (the comp I made of his best singles/remixes is so hot I can't imagine what it would do to someone who never heard him before..)

I've even started making my own filterhouse cause I need more! That heavy compression + big kick(when it's done RIGHT) is like a hot injection of some interstellar space dust drug...

But yeah, I've said it so much it's almost spam but "HIGH ON" is the summer in outer space jam for all time

― gaseous (gaseous), Sunday, 30 July 2006 23:45 (6 years ago) Permalink

ah, 'discopolis'. were those other remixes any good? my copy has alan braxe (pretty good reshape of the original) and chris lake (bog-standard electrohouse, not my thing really).

actually, did anyone hear that kris menace "stars on 33" thing that came out last year? that was mega-filtered.

― slackety yax (H2-H4), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 13:12 (6 years ago) Permalink
