house/techno bobbins 2012

well this is actually from 2011 but i've only just discovered it and it's amazing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLRpIWrjc5s

The Mara Trax (vera & maayan nidam) ep Sensibilia finally coming out on Perlon next month

Preview of new Blaktroniks LP mad looking forward to this sounds great

http://soundcloud.com/blaktroniks/podcast111111blktrnks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueRVOTr1zbE last year but only just heard it (via Amanda Brown's fact mix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZBVBpCO_u8

any of u ilx ballers know this one?

yeah <3 that westbeech remix

@cashmere combabe, that's 'crayon box' by virgo 4. fucking ace.

this is from last year but i don't think i've seen it mentioned on ilx (maybe sandbox?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6Zz2mY8gR0

everything cottam does is good. the sounds just pop, spacious and dense at the same time, you just wanna drown in it (youtube doesn't do it justice.) kinda reminds me of terre thaemlitz at times.

that cottam tune is rad, i kinda like that new cliff richard mix too

can we talk about this here?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwS1hMqi4jk

cuz 2:50 is p O_O

nice, i hadn't heard the cliff richard mix

i'm kinda lukewarm on a lot of caribou's stuff from what i've heard, but that's pretty great.

@cashmere combabe, that's 'crayon box' by virgo 4. fucking ace.

― second only to popcorn (or something), Monday, January 9, 2012

Thanks, sorta surprised at that - wouldn't have guessed!

While we're on a roll what about this one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgfVJXFkb3M

that cottam track is realllly good

I know it's from last year but i only discovered Caribou's Virgo Four remix recently thanks to the RA poll and it's pretty brilliant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChKT_luDzBc

Massive!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKLDGNqVg1w

new Todd Terje:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqp4P0rT4VA

that harmonic modification of melody during bridge is just awesome, this is going to be a big grower for me, I'm sure!

i'm sure this was talked about on sandboxx during the downtime, but Kompakt has a recording of a live TWELVE HOUR SET by Michael Mayer up on soundcloud. It took me 2 days but i listened to the whole thing and it is fucking incredible. hearing a single DJ go 12 hours in one sitting is a rare treat.

http://soundcloud.com/kompakt/sets/michael-mayer-total-12-megaset/

Some of the individual pages for each segment have track lists in the comments.

nice.

i'm liking the new terje ep a lot so far. he's definitely catering to the same folk who ate up "snooze 4 love" but i'm not sure that's a bad thing

I heard about that then completely forgot about it. Much appreciated, gr80!

the terje is marvellous

Yeah Terje is on fire right now, the two tracks I've heard from the EP are both lovely.

I did reasonably well at keeping up with bobbins last year but this thread always runs away from me so bookmarking now.

Any interest in supplementing this thread with a collaborative Spotify playlist?

I think "Inspector Norse" is better than anything for last year's EP, so immediate and full sounding - it seems so unfair that it's came out on the first fortnight of the year because I think it's going to stand tall over a lot of 2012. I don't massively care for the rest of the It's The Arps though, it's kinda boring?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieqlM_VY2U0

Yeah Its the Arps is great, don't agree that its retreading the same ground as snooze 4 love. maybe in sort of a melodic/ harmonic way, buts its palette and feeling is totally different. while snooze 4 love had a 90s ambient house feeling, the Arps, i guess down to its minimally treated dry ARP synth sounds is all like popcorn/ Wendy Carlos novelty dicopop.

I posted another track from this on the sandbox thread right before we switched back over, but i have really been feeling the new Linkwood. Someone pointed out the melodic figure was very close to Pepe Braddock's Deep Burnt...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsG8oFn2jgc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv0OO1rGn_U

holy shit @ this kompakt mix! or at least the first 19 mins

that linkwood track is great

and this is otm:

best part is how you can occasionally hear crowd noise-- in the last half hour he even has a damaged record/dusty needle/both on a song that he stops and restarts three times

It's like a low key cocktail party for you and Michael Mayer recorded it

wait till you get to pts 3 and 4

pt 5 is probably my favorite-- def the "classics" segment and i'm guessing somewhere around 3 or 4am.

i don't think that "inspector norse" is necessarily a retread of "snooze" but i think using the palette of analog synths as opposed to endearingly goofy pianos or accordions or w/e is informed by its success. the new/original productions on 'remaster of the universe' sorta hinted that he might start doing the whole wacky live band thing a whole lot more... i'm glad he decided against that.

not sure if he used analog or digi synths for "eurodans" but i guess that's also got some novelty discopop appeal too

looks like both bradock and linkwood sampled freddie hubbard's "little sunflower". i feel like the same sample is used a lot in hip hop too... tribe called quest's "the love" for sure, probably others too

so i guess dilla is ultimately responsible for it

Nice, i actually know the milt Jackson version of that song, but had no idea it was from that. i'm starting on the Mayer Marathon as well.. so far so enjoying it, made me check wether Pop Ambient 2012 was out yet. (february)

helpful to think that 0:00 of that mix is likely somewhere between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM and do the math from there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BVuFhs2ngk

i want to know what this is!

Stuff from the end of 2011 that caught my attention ... Morphosis Morphosis Morphosis !!! Too Far EP with the Dettmann mixes is immense intense clanging dubby funkiness -

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

ARP 3 by Floating Points is best thing he has done so far and it's very house with some great cat noises buried deep in the mix which can make for a slightly confusing listen for cat owners such as myself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d38xbAFnCSQ

The Mike Huckaby SYNTH remixes of Sistol/Pole are absolutely wonderful too

Floating Points does a killer line in house/techno DJing, dig out his sets on Rinse with Kyle Hall and every time he appears on the Hessle Audio show and see for your self.

Anyway 2012 house yay!

DJ SOTOFETT - Pulehouse

http://shitfuckyou.com/audio/wania97a.mp3

Vibes.

Think of should go to one of FP's nights at plastic people one of these months... (is it selfish/gauche/RONG! of me to want him to just pump out nothing but house bangers like arp3 and vacuum boogie?)

That Sotofett is great. Expecting good things from the Sex Tags crew this year. Not exactly house I guess but I'm keen to get my hands on one of Rush Hour's James Mason reissues. Discogs prices have been crazy in the last few years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvc1FWjIwsI

When I've heard him play it's nowt but house jams, he's smooth as hell. Classics, odd ball funk, detroit business, just party house all night long. He's a killer DJ. Go see him man.

Oh mmmmm that sounds sweet. If that aint house I don't know what is.

thx for the tip on the james mason, it does sound p rad so far. tho from what i've heard that is def the housiest track

I want someone I know to throw a party where everyone gets really fucked up and they attempt to play that 12hr Mayer mix in its entirety.

that person could be you!

Xposts: Having seen FP dj before I know that much, I was talking about his productions.

Come on somebody, make the Spotify playlist already.

Or is that kind of self-defeating as approx 10% of the songs mentioned here will have made it to Spotify?

I don't know if this is the right thread to post this in but Jim-E Stack's new EP is kind of amazing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVGkj_g_Zq4

He's pretty fuck'd, we just had a mix/interview from him n'all.

http://www.sonicrouter.com/2012/01/sr-mix-115-jim-e-stack-good-years/

You should prob be here tbh: Rolling Dance Partisans 2012

it's all good though.

Another belatedly discovery of 2011 but why didn't anyone tell me about the Margaret Dygas self-titled on Perlon? Very much a dry, skeletal affair, typical of the label I guess - I'm not the biggest expert but on at least a superficial level it's very much like Villalobos' "Alcachofa" texturally - but there's enough darkness to remind me of Chloe while moments such as the live drums on this remind me of Four Tet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIYXlDhb-hQ

I don't want to use the m-word but there's a reason that whole thing took off and stuff like this makes me kinda miss it.

i heard about that dygas record somewhere... thought it was ilx? maybe not tho

this has been growing on me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6uUiEuVHhU

sounds pretty hot creations-y but i guess it's on wolf + lamb

I like the danny daze track but can't really deal with the hot creations thing

that cottam track from way upthread is amazing, it's my sax automatic kneejerk love kicking in. the b-side "twang" is fantastic too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5990RGzzVqU

I like the danny daze track but can't really deal with the hot creations thing

― Cashmere Combabe, Tuesday, January 24, 2012 6:44 AM (6 hours ago)

what is the hot creations thing? i usually don't know what people mean when they say this. i believe there is a wolf + lamb thing that i also don't get

hot creations thing = lee foss "u got me", miguel campbell "something special", danny daze "your everything", hot natured "forward motion", clockwork "it's you again", etc.

it's not too crazily different than the wolf + lamb thing, but with (usually) more prominent vocals/pop hooks. it's lee foss and jamie jones' label idk

no, i mean, i get that its a label with songs, i like a lot of them, but the way people talk about it leads me to think that it is something extra-musical which they don't like about hot creations

I don't get it either. Maybe it sounds better at a rooftop party in LA or poolside in Miami? The plodding house beats, grating vocals and corny R&B samples. All I know is to AVOID Hot Creations/Hot Natured nights in London LIKE THE PLAGUE. Topless, sweaty 17 yr olds in sunglasses pushing on the dance floor.. no thanks.

Maybe it sounds better at a rooftop party in LA or poolside in Miami

i love it because it sounds exactly like a rooftop party in LA or poolside in miami

ah, okay, well, i live in FL so i'm more inclined to associate poolside miami with the hot creations sound than sweaty 17yo londoners

Topless, sweaty 17 yr olds in sunglasses pushing on the dance floor

this sounded awesome until it dawned on me that you were probably talking about guys

it makes me want to go to more hot creations nights in london, certainly

lol

xp

I just got the first Hinge Finger from Madteo: http://www.discogs.com/Madteo-Bugler-Gold-Pt1/release/3269305 it's a well nice slab of odd ball house.

Looking forward to this too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGVP5A36nsY

i would absolutely go to a hot creations night in london for reasons that have only partly to do with shirtless guys

My experience with sweaty 17y/o Londoners has been more tedious and gross than anything else. Makes sense, since Hot Creations, Wolf and Lamb, et al make tedious and awful music that's by and large to be avoided like the plague, shirtless guys or no.

But that's just me.

it makes me want to go to more hot creations nights in london, certainly

just....don't. i love all the music but seriously when people talk negatively about the 'hot creations thing' this is probably what they are talking about. so much aggro.

oh and dance music snobbery i guess

the lary crowds combined with the shit 'TBC' venues, promoters knowingly overselling said shit venues two, three times over capacity and getting old i imagine means in 2012 i will be choosing my london nights out p selectively

has anyone heard some of the wolf + lamb mixes where they get on the mic? in theory i'm all for a bit of innovation in the dj box but it is incredibly cringey, sounds like a bad teen disco in suburban dublin when he's roaring "when the beat drops, i wanna see how low y'all can go!!" - albeit with jesse pinkman accents.

Well I didn't mean to open a can of worms about this re:'the hot creations thing' - I should have said sound rather than thing, wasn't really referring to anything else. I find their sound a bit cold is all!

I just bought a marcus mixx record! although it wasn't that one

jesse pinkman accents!!

the talking on the mic is 100% them trolling listeners like ronan imo

i haven't heard the mixes where they talk over it, when i saw soul clap there was no mic action and it was a pretty chill crowd

this hot creations/crosstown rebels sound was pretty refreshing when it first came out. "l word", "forward motion", "without you" are aces. but then they keep retreading the formula to the point that it became boring and predictable. I can't stand Maceo Plex.

I can't wait for the inevitable curation of Hot Creations because it will be one disc of great post-minimal vocal house and it will be all I need.

from this scene I mean, not by itself alone.

im very tempted to start a separate s/d thread but i really really love everything ive heard on the life + death label partic the pillowtalk ep from late last year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESHsqWl4A_c&feature=related

anyone have suggestions/thoughts??

i like both pillowtalk eps, probably like the one on w+l even more than that ^ one tho. what else is on that label?

i think what hot creations is doing has a lot more in common with azari & iii style vocal house revivalism than anything else, and i love it - even tho yes it can be somewhat formulaic

theres a dOP 12" 'after party' that i really vibe and a bunch of remixes by ppl that i vaguely recognize. they arent updating their website which is p lol but they only have four 'official' releases

the talking on the mic is 100% them trolling listeners like ronan imo

listeners like who? what's a listener like me? might want to update your ilm filofax.

also love this, it's like "you've fallen completely into their trap"...OR maybe there's no problem with speaking on the mic, they just say really stupid cringey shit.

lol trolled

haha

;-)

honestly i only ever heard them do it on their BiS broadcast, where they openly stated "people keep calling in asking for us to stop talking... so we're gonna talk more!"

i think we talked abt this before tho

'jesse pinkman accents'

worst one is actually soul clap

http://soundcloud.com/r_co/soul-clap-la-boum-de-luxe-22-1

39.30...it's just fucking awful. i had no prob with the BIS set.

doesn't help that the song is dire too.

x-post he actually does sound like jesse pinkman here imo.

The original mix of "Soft" is a good pop song. But that Life & Death remix sounds just like every other Tale of Us remix.

dunno what year these two tracks are from but really like both, no idea what they are tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmPEL0Vb7VU

The original mix of "Soft" is a good pop song. But that Life & Death remix sounds just like every other Tale of Us remix.

wellll you say that like its a bad thing!!

well too much of a good thing is not good, bro. I mean, I enjoy all of tale of us previous remixes but when I heard this track, I thought, oh not this bass sound again.

I've been trying to find out some ID's from this mix. Maybe someone could help me here? This is one of my favorite mixes in 2011.

http://mnmlssg.blogspot.com/2011/08/ssg-special-john-osborn-panorama-bar.html

The tracks that need ID-ing:
@ 06:00

@ 25:00
@ 30:00
@ 32:00 (wow!)
@ 36:00
@ 43:00
@ 48:00
@ 89:00

whoa that's a lot.

The original mix of "Soft" is a good pop song. But that Life & Death remix sounds just like every other Tale of Us remix.

wellll you say that like its a bad thing!!

yea... was going to say, i dig most of what i've heard from tale of us. i get the impression that i value aesthetic consistency more than other ppl itt based on this and other comments re: hot creations

didn't really pay this one much attention until the ra eoy poll but it's excellent (also turns out it's on life and death. i will now pay attention to this label)

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

^ benefits from using a similar vocal style to art department but not falling prey to using the same damn cadence over and over again like that dude tends to do

the seth troxler edit of that track is sick

maybe you guys heard this already but this is sick:

YES... New Omar-S = always a cause for celebration:

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

I like that Oskar Offermann track. I have a weakness for that sort of steel-drum percussive sound.

wow, that omar-s track might be the best 2012 track I've heard after Inspector Norse

anyone can ID these 2 amazing tracks played by nina kraviz?

http://soundcloud.com/user8679552/played-by-nina-kraviz

yep. new omar-s thing is p great

New Omar-s reminds me a bit of this Avondale Music Society joint

http://www.discogs.com/Avondale-Music-Society-Hakim-Murphy-Two-Takes-EP/master/277566

can anyone tell me if maya jane coles is worth seeing?

In other completely non-shocking news, this new Theo Parrish "Translation" on Running Back is great as well:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVz0rkZUFRQ

I posted Translation 2 upthread, but yeah they're both great.

re: Todd Terje

the new/original productions on 'remaster of the universe' sorta hinted that he might start doing the whole wacky live band thing a whole lot more

His remix of Bjorn Torske's Langt Fra Afrika is more along these lines - I hear a real bossa nova influence in it, it's fun enough but kinda disappointing in the context of his current run of original material.

http://soundcloud.com/perfruor/shawn-osullivan-free-flight

MASSIVE!

The new Mano le Tough mix on the XLR8R podcast is fantastic.

The Sand Dealer is too good.

anyone has links to some good warm-up sets?

this is really great-- kind of more earnest, more r+b hot creations vibe?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMi36hG3wOE

anyone knows anything about the untitled track by Soundso (whoever he is) on Panorama Bar 03? has it been released?

my understanding is that soundso, soundstore and TSOS are all aliases of soundhack, maybe better known around these parts as the dude behind the sound stream records?

the soundstore track came out on the panoramabar 03 sampler

the TSOS track came out on the sound stream 2011 sampler

not sure when soundso is coming out ... could be untitled for a reason?

i like that grown folk track. probably less appropriate for partisans and more akin to the more polished and 'legit' side of what we talk about on the h****** house thread (beautiful swimmers, john talabot, L.I.E.S.)

http://soundcloud.com/r_co/me-live-club-silo-closing

go to 1:40:00 and just listen to that track (Ragysh) until the transition. it gave me the chills.

Is this the general house thread?

more than any other thread, yes.

OK I made the playlist. Anything mentioned in this thread goes on it, except for stuff that's not on Spotify obv.

bobbins 2012 spotify playlist

I think I've done that right....

Nice one

So, my fav 2012 track so far and it's ticking boxes for me, Miguel Migs with Meshell Ndegeochello with Deetron on remix. It really comes in at 3 mins. Absolutely stunning. Such detail. I need to here this on the floor now!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKg7jiRwlCY&ob=av2e

WOAH

this is so lovely

i really love the way the music makes me feel

New Andres 12'' debut on his own label La Vida. Andres is one that really needs no introduction, but for those unfamiliar here it is: Andres, aka DJ Dez, is one of Detroit's unsung heros of underground music. Since the late 90's Andres has built up an extremely respectable catalog of that blurs the boundaries between genres, most notably his records on KDJ and Mahogani Music. Not to forget, DJ Dez is also Slum Village's DJ, has recorded many hip hop instrumental on Hipnotech Records, and his hand is on countless other Detroit records. Definitely one of the most consistent producers we've got here whose music can be summed up in one word: Quality!

weird! was just considering posting that here. that title track on that one is beautiful.

*downloads meshell n on sight*

this, i think is from last year, but it's such a nice blend of pretty and tuff

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

btw what is going on in the 939493344-new-answers hipster house thread? i have little use for that music myself and once a thread goes over x new answers i can't click on it, but is it...interesting?

mainly just whether it 'counts' as house music or not

so, not interesting then

the miguel migs/meshell n/deetron track is amazing btw

and this thread is already getting too youtube-heavy for me :(

might be better to post discogs links rather than youtubes (they tend to have the youtube in the discogs page anyway)

Woah at the Me'Shell tune.

I know it's the Deetron remix but quite separately Miguel Migs seems to be moving into more interesting territory of late it seems?

^^^ Late 2011 bobbin but it might have been overlooked given it came out in mid-December. Most Maceo Plex singles are pretty great but this one is amazing.

hmmm I wonder why maceo plex bores me to death

i LOVE that gesloten cirkel track, not sure i'm the right person to dissect everything that goes on in that one but i also love the interplay between a sort of ebm/industrial influence and more euphoric vibes. i need more tracks like this in my life

and re the h-house thread: if you sift through the tired arguments about whether it's 'proper' dance music or not you will find strong recommendations for the new ital full length, and some talk about the blondes full length (which is also p good imo). also people seem to like those new peaking lights remixes on 100% silk.

seriously tho, if you follow this thread i strongly suggest checking out that ital lp. good stuff.

Currently enjoying this: http://www.discogs.com/Huxley-Let-It-Go/release/3407427 - though with Huxley, I always like his tracks significantly more on the first few listens.

I suppose this goes in the hipster house thread, but damnit I like this better than pretty much anything Ital has done on his own and seems to fit here just fine:

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/13177-time-of-love/

hey what do you guys think of RESTORATION records?

lucretio, marieu, analogue cops, etc ... is this going to be their year?

I heard 'why you love me' by analogue cops a lot last year. I only know that one and the captain power ep, i should check out some of the other stuff

like for a while it seemed everyone was playing why you love me

that's cause it was included on a four-track sampler for a dettmann mix (distributed by music man) ... it's really hard to find this stuff, even on slsk or whatever ...

is there a name for this type of stuff? in my mind it's strongly linked to the same sort of mentality as labels like SEX TAGS though in practice the sound is kinda different.

on hardwax i think they usually call it TRUE DISCO HOUSE BANGERS or DJ TOOL DISCO HOUSE or PROPER HOUSE DJ TOOL TRACKS but i bet i can come up with a catchier name than that

you've revealed your identity tonight, the late great! (unless this was obv to everyone else already)

Didn't know about that dettmann mix cd! I bought the 12 after hearing Zip play it.

the sex tags stuff seems hardest to get hold of, daren't look at discogs prices for the ones i want

some of the big-name ones (skatebard) run for like $100 but others go for $10

I'd like to hear your guys' thoughts on this guy's album, 2011. Ghibli is a local dude, but I think this is quite good. Especially "Kristina." Disco samples and even a Dirty Money edit!

Reworked by "The Reclusive" DJ Sotofett ... i'm calling it JUST HOUSE

i was thinking RAW HOUSE but that sounds kind of weird

so gorgeous

(pachanga boys = rebolledo + superpitcher)

the first two tracks on that ep are very odd and unpleasant, kind of relentless and gabbaey, and i was so sceptical, and then this track happened and i melted

btw is anyone going to marcellus pittman in london tonight? i am

rebolledo + superpitcher

The Pachanga Boys first formed when recording a track for KOMPAKT 10 two years ago.

It has a similar beat to the one you posted in here lex.

the new Morning Factory is good

http://soundcloud.com/morningfactory/looking-morning-factory-mix

and not clear when this will see a release but love this Benjamin Brunn joint, his sound definitely fits right now so hopefully he'll do well out of 2012

re Pachanga Boys, I like the tune "Legs" Ivan Smagghe played on Beats in Space a coupla weeks back. Says also on Hippie Dance but can't tell what release. Or maybe not out yet?

pachanga boys - time is amazing

I guess this is the lolconcept behind the weird contrast between the first two tracks and "time": It´s "Girlcatcher", which consists of three charming tracks specially made to seduce your catch (girl or boy), and a special handmade tool to trap her (or him).

listening to this right now, it's indeed the shit.

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

This is one of them timeless albums I will still love in a decade, like Monolake's Cinemascope. Its seamless, you become so immersed in it you don't even notice what track you are listening to.

really like this italopiano style b-side on a recent kompakt speicher

holy shit that voices from the lake album is mind-blowingly good O_O

Noticed the voices from lake got a 5/5 on ResidentAdvisor which is a score I haven't seen in a while. Really nice album. Sort of reminds me of GAS. Is this another of Voigt's many projects?

no, it's two italians named donato dozzy and neel

Feeling that Pachanga Boys track!

Feeling this new Tusk Wax release (at least the samples), Ejeca with a remix from Bicep: http://soundcloud.com/justtusk/tusk-wax-five-low-bitrate

This Xhin album is just what I need to start the morning after a night of disappointing news.

ok so this voices from the lake record is working for me as well. solid.

For some reason, I can't really get into Voices from the Lake (yet). This track Manuvex made me need to use the bathroom.

this is pretty great:

http://soundcloud.com/adam-hodgins/attention-seeker

gr80 yes that is awesome thanks

i'm curious, would people call the Voices From The Lake album dub techno?

I wouldn't, personally, but I like the way that it mines some of the same territory.

think that album might be too subtle for me. Like it's cool when some chords come in or whatever but it's also just kind of a relief from the tedium

I haven't heard the full album, but the couple of tracks I've heard I've liked a lot. More than dub techno, they remind me of the "ambient acid" stuff that was coming out of Cologne in the mid-90s, like Khan & Walker's Empire State Building, or Air Liquide's early space epics. (And I think Mike Ink came from that scene too, so the Gas comparison is not out of place.)

Yes, 'Der Alte' by Kolsch as posted upthread is fantastic. Loving the Pachanga Boys as well.

Dunno if anyone here botheres checking the Emeralds thread, but the new Daphni mixes are seriously great

great track, such a great release when the horns drop-- wish it played out longer after that

so many bad boys in this mix. anyone care to ID?

speaking of Andres, I have his new one on his label La Vida on the way to me and I cannot wait. Maybe it'll come today!

anyone knows what to expect from henrik schwarz's dj set?

Something like his DJ Kicks mix right? Basically, amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6036G0BzLQ

When I saw him a year ago it was more like his live albums, only with more recent material obv. Hearing him play live versions of his remix of The Detroit Experiment's "Think Twice" and his edit of "Wanna Be Starting Something" = O_O

vibing out to voices from the lake right now d-_-b

Da Sampla EP is fuck'd: http://www.rubadub.co.uk/music/techno/west-side-sessions

i've only heard "with a piece of ice" and "digital system" but those tracks are amazing, rush hour should reissue those old sampla EPs too

I saw Anthony 'Shake' Shakir in Bristol the other month before Peverelist, it was so good.

He's still got it, when he goes in, he really goes in.

Pev said he was pinching himself that he was on the same bill as Shake that night.

The KMFH 808 dub is heavy on the 7".

Everyone should reissues those old Shake bits haha.

The new Monolake album Ghosts has a lot of moments of cold-ass brilliance.

not from 2012 but i am ~obsessed~ with this agnès mix:

http://soundcloud.com/r_co/agnes-lwe-podcast-29-03-2010

really nice loopy house!

also from demantel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLRTNDlpLjk

man, this label is good.

Recent house purchases for me; Telefon Tel Aviv - The Birds (check the Ellen Allien mix, sweet bass line and nice acid touch) and Cabinet Records - Cabinet Classics vol. 2. Solid label.

i'm enjoying the claro intelecto album more than i thought i would

It'd be cool if the Voices from the Lake album was a new Plastikman album. Hawtin would get his street cred back.

^ nick!

the whole sun goddess ep is brilliant. so smooth, i love that it doesn't sound like much else around

Hi. i've been lurking around here for a while now and have a techno related question. Not sure where best to put it so I thought I'd start here.

I’m planning a trip to Berlin in April, specifically to see/hear Dettmann at Berghain. Frustrtingly, I can’t get any information from Berghain about when he is likely to be playing. The listing for the day in question (14th April) says the running order is Orphx LIVE, Mike Parker, Adam X, Fiedel, Marcel Dettmann. Presumably, Orphyx will kick off at 23:59 on the Friday. Do any of you know what time Dettmann is likely to play, based on this listing?

you need to get in the berlin mindset

Yeah I'm a lurker on this thread and not some major league techno head by any account but o_O at someone going to Berghain wanting to know exactly what time a specific DJ is coming on.

you might not even get in :0

you might not even get in :0

Good point.

Heh, I'm going to Berlin for the first time in about a month, was sort of wondering about that. How late into the afternoon do things run; i.e. does it make sense to just get up early and make it there for 10 AM?

i thought the whole point of berlin was that linear clock time didn't exist

Heh, I'm going to Berlin for the first time in about a month, was sort of wondering about that. How late into the afternoon do things run; i.e. does it make sense to just get up early and make it there for 10 AM?

for sure. (from what I've read)

Hey neilasimpson-

This was some time ago (2006) but I was able to get the schedule for the performers at Berghain from the Hardwax record store earlier that day. I remember there were flyers available for the night in question. I also asked one of the people behind the counter and he seemed to know all about it.

maybe if you go to hardwax you can ask dettmann in person

^^ pro tip

If you want to visit record stores in Berlin, I'd totally recommend Spacehall, they have tons of cool stuff, especially if you want dig into older house/techno/trance/ambient. It's absolutely the best electronic music record store I've ever seen (Hardwax was a disappointment compared to it), everytime I've been to Berlin I've spent like 100-200 euros just there.

voices from the lake is a trip ... it's like four bars of acid house stretched out to six or eight minutes in a way that sometimes sounds like kompakt (prologue is german, right?) and sometimes sounds like pacou

at the same time it also has this really awful world music / hippie drum circle thing happening on some tracks and it doesn't help that the background drones sound like digital didgeridoo after awhile

i get the same gross feeling i get when i listen to shackleton's vocal tracks (gregorian chant dubstep)

talking of shackleton, is his fabric mix worth listening to? I found it on the floor outside shoreditch high street overground station last year, nevery put it on yet.

you should put it on next time you are "vibing out" "d-_-b"

Berghain posts the lineup (and start times) on their website, but maybe only closer to the date in question? And you're definitely better off trying to get in on Sunday morning (although I haven't tried it personally).

Cosign on Tuomas' Spacehall recommendation, if you're looking for two hundred 90's techno compilations you've never heard of before, that's the place.

big deal that's what my closet looks like

ok, thanks! for all of your advice re berghain (and berlin).

"o_O at someone going to Berghain wanting to know exactly what time a specific DJ is coming on."

Basically, I'm well fussy about my techno, plus, I've seen Dettmann a few times now in Glasgow and am keen to see him specifically at Berghain, hence my hunt for specific info. I've heard his sets can be pretty legendary.

I had thought about trying hardwax so will do so if the info doesn't appear on the berghain page.

"Heh, I'm going to Berlin for the first time in about a month, was sort of wondering about that. How late into the afternoon do things run; i.e. does it make sense to just get up early and make it there for 10 AM?"

My understanding is that it runs from 23.59 on the Friday right through to some point on Sunday night. The main room was relatively empty on the Sunday morning but the panorama bar was pretty rammed. Advice from locals when I was there in October last year was that 6am is the time to go.

my fav from the voices from the lake album is meikyu

wait a second ... five DJs play for almost 48 hrs? even given it's berghain that can't be right, can it?

That's just the Saturday line-up above. They have another line-up for the Sunday. Not sure when the transition is, however. Doubtful it's midnight.

oh that makes a lot more sense

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t3qMRwn-Ag

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?

i am assuming it means the waveform is one huge solid rectangle because its what it sounds like, and i agree, the idea seems pretty good if basic (its just bangalter-style filter house?) but i just want to turn it off

brickwalled usually means compressed so that everything is max volume and/or clipping all over the place

btw audible clipping... well, I am sure it has been used as snd or Mark Fell solo or someone else as a cool effect, but it is bullllshiiiit

That's a fair point about the Ghibli. All of it is sampled from YouTubes, which is probably a big reason for its shitty mastering.

even so, just turning down the gain when mastering the track would probably help matters

Yeah, it's partially a gain issue, and partially the fact that there's a filter people for some reason select that maximizes

In his defense, 2011 is "just a bunch of demos and beats that weren't mastered or anything," in his own words. Any mastering issues thus make sense. I think the songs that can be streamed from his upcoming album, Rare Pleasures, are a better indication of what he can do with a proper mix and master: http://ghibli.bandcamp.com/ I think "Sixteen Moons" is quite good.

Magic Mountain High is Move D + Juju and Jordash.

Liked that one!

Thanks for the Trax stuff upthread. Liking the Shadow Dancer track a lot (and the magic mountain + puzique tracks above).

So, my trip to Berlin didn't come off this weekend. Although Berghain did eventually publish set times on its website. Dettmann was on 8am-11am on the Saturday morning which is about the worst time imaginable, for me anyway.

that tom trago album is an ENDLESS GOLDMINE of dope mixes ... actually, that album is an endless goldmine of dope original tracks ... in retrospect and as more people hear it i think it will def go down as one of the all-time great house albums, up there in the ranks with PANSOUL and MAHOGANY BROWN

Big praise! Love Tom Trago sounds.

big up tom trago

i was actually very disappointed w/ iris compared to voyage direct, but that's almost certainly down to the fact that i am really into house and not much into neo-soul at all

Had a gig with huxley last week, he played a really annoying song near the end which spoiled the set, booze has erased what it was

Just listening to that Ewan Pearson mix. There's something about his mixes which I love, despite a lot of the tracks in isolation being ones I would probably avoid like the plague if I heard them, he's very talented weaving together a unified sound.

his dj set a few years ago was probably the best clubbing experience I've ever experienced.

Having said that the Carl Craig Remix of 'Use Me Again' is pointless to begin with, and is made even worse by the mixing with the bleeps.

listening to levon's fabric now. some transitions could be a little more seamless don't you think? http://soundcloud.com/fabric/fabric-63-levon-vincent

not sure about the flow either..

Which transitions in particular? I've only had it on a couple of times when I've been working and can remember there being some sudden shifts in mood, but I can't remember hearing anything I would call a trainwreck.

http://www.discogs.com/Seuil-Fluctuat-Nec-Mergitur/release/3500675

Hawt

I'm not saying there's a trainwreck but some transitions are just too fast and sudden, like track 1 to track 2. And the flow isn't so hot either. Maybe this is what happens when you plan to make a mix with your and your friends' tracks only.

To be fair, I think that's just how he mixes records, at least that's how he DJed when I saw him, although I wasn't so hot on it then either.

When I've seen him DJ in clubs I haven't got into him, but I've been liking this mix a lot. As someone who almost always goes for a long blend by default when mixing myself - and sometimes wishes I had the guts to just slam them next tune in, I always like to hear people mixing the other way and going for those 80s style quick transitions, they're what I found most interesting in people like Mala or Michael Mayer.

http://soundcloud.com/r_co/cassy-artist-of-the-week-sl

two unknown beauties at 36:00 and 43:00. This is why I'm afraid of listening to mixes with no tracklisting.

Really want Levon Vincent's Rainstorm II to get a release, what a track.

God, I've listened to that xxxy track like 30 times now. It's like eating pure sugar, and I can't stop.

cassy's sets produce some serious grooves but damn if she isn't static. it's like watching a robot or statue.

Not sure that she's always static. She climbed up on the outer ledge of the DJ booth in the terrace in DC10 and started dancing twice last year! Not a distance you'd want to fall from.

Here is probably not the right place to put reissues but Rush Hour are on form with Dream 2 Science... Heard this 20 years ago and didn't find out what it was till recently.... stunning..

there's a thread called "house and techno bobbins of the past"

I know, I had considered it, I'll put reissue stuff in that thread then. Mentally I think of that thread as crate digging or youtube discoveries rather than records that have repackaged and back on the shelves.

well whatever thread its on that is an incredible track.

petar dundov's album is really good despite "distant shores" being a MASSIVE ANTHEM for the likes of sven vath and digweed

so do you guys hate this kind of thing? i posted it on the prog house thread but nobody goes there. i like it. is this kid's music? i have no idea. do you roll your eyes and kiss your teeth when you hear stuff like this? just curious. i've never heard of sander van doorn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8iacryQGt4&ob=av2e

hi scott, I don't think it's "kids music" per se. It's nice sounding, kind of a prog house version of the some of gui borrato's stuff? But also kinda generic sounding imo, in the same way, say, coldplay is generic sounding

I love a big slice of OTT trance. I'd rather die than go to a club playing it but go for a run with some on your iPod, reach the top of a big hill and you feel like you own the world.

even the contrarian in me can't get it up for anything but maybe commander tom's "are am eye"

finally got around to abdulla rashim's asayita ep. shit done my head in.

Scott, to me it sounds like something I'd imagine Katy Perry singing over as an album filler.

yeah, i wonder why i like it so much. i think its really just that opening. and honestly its probably just cuz it reminds me a little of the alan parsons project at the beginning. and i kinda gravitate toward progressive house (or trance) that reminds me of prog rock. i can see that guy providing good backing tracks for a pop singer. and making that work.

its definitely something i would never listen to on my own. i just happened to be obsessed with pop trance tracks the other night and this song was on a prog house mix on youtube. there are some really cheesy prog house mixes on youtube. in case you didn't know.

guys

unknown artist - rave [Shed/EQD, surely]

Spotted this on hardwax a few weeks ago. No sign of it since, other than this youtube file with both (awesome) tracks and a discogs page.

TIP!!

indeed.

shit. that is good.

so is this

love alex d££mnds' "credentials". no nonsense at all

http://soundcloud.com/switchedonrecords/sor001-credentials-alex-d-mnds

that ajello track is great but where the f can i acquire it? doesn't seem to be on the actual release with the other 2 hannulelauri remixes

Omg I am going to berlin today :D

I've allotted myself like 300 euro for records, and that may just be for hardwax.

Make sure you go to Spacehall.

really diggin the snippet of Praslesh's "Blitz Bitz." but damn I can't even find any stream of the full track.

put this in the other thread wondering if anyone can ID it (no one could, no surprise, but i'll try it here)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EwMNf6RRE4&f

the ricardo joint is of course this

http://www.discogs.com/WeltZwei-vs-Thomas-Schaeben-On-Standby/release/21653

no ideas about the alexandra/miss i

at 3:52 there's sort of a vocal ("i'm so in love with you"?), difficult to make out tho - cant make the rest out tho, could help

need this record!

kinda balearic techno with male-diva vocals and big organ stabs, I'm really into this after hearing it out a few times recently

John Heckle shifting things up a gear from his usual 707 sound:

Not usualy a fan of sample heavy/disco edit type stuff bar the odd Soundstream bit or somthing but this made my ears prick up for some reason.

feeling the flip even more tho

Like that Deamonds bit above, really into that Deep Teknologi vibe.

^ nice

Can I take back what I said about the Maya Jane Coles mix? Heard it on better speakers yesterday and DAAAAAAMN its good.

this is what I'd call ROLLING

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nREHmF3TLY

Och has done some good stuff... My fab of his is Bombay Bedbath, but that stops in stops out record is good too

what I've heard off the Justin Martin album is shaping up really nicely, the sound palette definitely fits into the last couple years of dirtybird's Metalheadz homages.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae-LSQjjwuc

dammit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae-LSQjjwuc

not even really house music anymore, is it?

Not at all. Dirtybird and CVS have been going that way. I used to really like CvS but it depends where he plays now. Down with the Bristol/Bass scene...

that ajello track is great but where the f can i acquire it? doesn't seem to be on the actual release with the other 2 hannulelauri remixes

it's on a different vinyl-only EP called Smells Like a Remix

thoughts on Ame's Live?

enthusiastic!

The beatless version of Gui Boratto's "This Is Not The End" is so good and so effective that it's made me go back and explore his own catalogue which, brief romance with Chromophobia aside, I've never felt strongly about one way or another, but is in fact actually pretty consistent and impressive.

i know this is dec 2011 ... and i was not particularly expecting to be that impressed by this because hissing thumping greyscale post-berghain serious techno yadda yadda yadda ... mainly just bought it because i still have a boner for DELTA (the artist who did the cover, not the dj) and what the hell, i kind of have a boner for delta funktionen too

but damn ... this is THEE SHIT if you're still looking for something to match dettmann's immense berghain 02 mix

whoops, well, click through to the pic if you like

i'm not sure what to say about it, i mean it's basically just straightforward contemporary techno and neither the tracks themselves nor the mixing are next-level in any obvious way you can point to but it's like, perfectly-formed or whatever, i just listened to it on repeat like three times in a row and did the same last night too (grabbed it on tuesday iirc) and it's been awhile since i've had that reaction to a straight-ahead techno mix

not sure what to say about that mix. listened to it once and never have the urge to pick it up again. I just feel it's like a bunch of tracks mixed together without any real flow.

well it depends what you mean by "flow", i mean it is called "inertia" and it has that endless cycling vibe of alot of my favorite machinic techno (things like mid-to-late period tresor recs that just sort of pound away like a well-tuned car engine doing a steady 100 mph on the freeway)

i have to admit i'm not necessarily a huge fan of 80-minute long build-ups and breakdowns and i suppose that's why i can listen to it three times in a row, it's much more about creating and maintaining a (steely-gray, polished but murky) atmosphere rather than masturbating the listener

"i'm not necessarily a huge fan of 80-minute long build-ups and breakdowns"

hmmm maybe that's the key to our difference in appreciating this mix. I'm a fan of 20-minute buildups and then that "we're on" moment comes at the 25th minute or so.

while this mix starts with a BANG from the first second. I wondered, seriously? where's the buildup?

i understand what you're saying but personally i think that sort of things tends to work better IRL than in a recorded context, and certainly i wouldn't want to listen to stuff like that all of the time

Claro Intelecto LP on Delsin is best thing he's done in ages and another great Album length from Delsin after Conforce / Morphosis recent efforts ... I also picked up the Soul 223 EP which is absolutely lovely

^^ vibes

I heard that Soul 223 when skipping through some new releases the other day and thought I sounded good.

It's Steve Pickton! I can hear it in the programming now... Will have to get this.

xpost

what I've heard off the Justin Martin album is shaping up really nicely, the sound palette definitely fits into the last couple years of dirtybird's Metalheadz homages.

That is impressive to my ears. I had passed on checking it out til now because the Dirtybird sound had become so stale from what I heard. I should give them another shot. Did they explicitly say they were paying homage to Metalheadz? Kind of funny because I'm pretty sure the club where they got their start was formerly my home for many a boisterous evening of d&b supplied by various visitors from London, etc.

those steve pickton tracks on soul jazz are amazing. i keep planning to pick up his paul w teebroke album as well as "past movements" but never get around to it. really love "fromtheoldtothenew" and his mo'wax stuff is all-time. on the other hand i'm still not sold on the b12, a.r.t. or peacefrog material.

The new album by Lauer (one half of Arto Mwambe) is hitting the spot for me right now. The last track, 'Trainman' is particularly great.

I notice that Tensnake has done two remixes, one substitled 'Franceman' the other 'Tranceman'. Stoked for those.

yeah, the Lauer album is awesome, and the Tensnake remixes do not disappoint.

Not totally convinced that this should be posted here, but it's a Todd Terje mix so is not totally irrelevant. It's also a little hipsterish. Still, it's good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbFquia185g

<3 arto mwambe so big thx for cluing me into that lauer album. good stuff

For all the Running Back love around here, I am surprised no one has mentioned the B.D.I. record. It is the most interesting and adventurous music Gerd has released in awhile:

B.D.I. - Paper Tears (Same Victories Same Mistakes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DuqC5ljtaw

On related note, the new Citizen's Band record on Live at the Robert Johnson is worth looking into. Unfortunately, Broken Rome is not posted on youtube in it's entirety. It is a nice slice of claustrophobic house. It is a bit out of place from the usual "deep" sounds they release. I'd like to hear more of it.

Yeah I'd be interested in that citizens band thing, haven't heard it tho...

Love that B.D.I. didn't know it was Gerd... also loving the Vakula album as Vedomir on Dekmantel. its quite all over the place vibe and style wise which is no surprise if you follow his productions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lgw6fkjz-Bc&feature=related

thanks for pointing out the new BDI - Its really is something special ... their city & industry on Rush Hour a few years ago is a hardy perrenial of mine but not seen anything by them for a hot minute so ta for that

Love that B.D.I. didn't know it was Gerd

Sorry, I meant Gerd Janson, the guy who runs Running Back.

yeah that one is great, heard it on BIS a while back.

Hoooo Lawd!

That bigfish0802 channel seems pretty good in general.

Is that a sample in Vamp? That has been bugging me for a while.

it sounds like a sample - actually a couple parts of it sound like samples. its ok

http://soundcloud.com/claponthebeat/dj-niff-clap-on-the-beat

love the tracks at 35 and 40 mins in this mix no idea what they are though, the latter one seems to then have fragments of music for 18 musicians coming in right at the end but that could be another track, it gets a little woozy around there

this new un on Sprinkles Comatonse arrived today - so very very good

http://boomkat.com/vinyl/532188-dj-sprinkles-mark-fell-complete-spiral-ep

Very excited about the forthcoming album on Philpot.

I wanna know the kind of music donato dozzy played in his latest mnml ssgs mix. Maniacal is the word I'd relate it too.
