commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

the ben klock mix is incredible, maybe even the best of 07

(best resident advisor mix i mean)

the carl craig siobhán donaghy track as the third tune or whatever really bugged me about the ben klock. but that's a kneejerk complaint I know.

The fact that he looks just like the techno version Henry Rollins bothers me; And while I'm getting eager to listen to it, an am a Klock fan, I've become skeptical as to how much I can actually enjoy it. Because of that, and the rather intimidating description RA wrote that makes it sound like the mix is full of harsh, aggressive, banging techno (which only makes him seem more like Henry Rollins)- although the bits I've skimmed through make it seem more easy going, and uhhh pretty good.

it's not harsh - it's more loopy and repetitive I think. if you're a fan of that downstairs Berghain style it will suit.

this week's samim mix is fantastic!

indeed!!! konono no. 1!!! such a don

yup this samim mix is really nice

I'm with ☪ and creme1 here, the Klock mix is fantastic.

I'm not quite sure... you need some bloody stamina to get right through it in one go!

hi hector

no this Klock mix is damn good, wish it was a bit more pacier (a lot of highs, but a lot of slack periods too) or something, it's SO nice to hear a mix that really sounds like it's trying to make every thump & echo & reverberation count though. it must be hard to do 'cos I don't get that feeling from enough mixes really...

yeah, what you said.

the ron trent mix this week is sublime.

sounds like bog-standard deep house fare to me :\

lol like you know about any fare of it -but thanks for ending the unbearable suspense, I'll bet people were willing to give an arm to hear your pov on that one! And I'll be sure to come here & post about every upcoming minimal mix on RA ("sounds like bog-standard dub&drugs-influenced nerdy sound design to me")

wow ron trent!!

hmmm i wonder what "altered states" was influenced by ;-)

why did I even bother, his comment actually reads like a straightforward admission of ignorance at the expense of something he has no interest in.

the ron trent is fucking sublime. definitely RA's best podcast of the summer.

just got to 50' and the ...B-52's song? some bog-standard deep house band they were. sheesh people be making fools of theyself w/out even listening.

give em enough rope

And I'll be sure to come here & post about every upcoming minimal mix on RA

yeah youve never unfairly lambasted minimal on ilm before. im sorry if i besmirched your favourite dance music style dude

all minimal lambasting is thoroughly fair

ron trent1!!!!!!!!!!

anyway -- fezaffe likes stephen bodzin not minimal, get your target right (pretty big target too, hard to miss)

"in the moog for love"

The Ron Trent is really nice. That Joris Voorn house / ambient mix a few RA's back really whetted my appetite for more house. And a few mixes (like the Jeremy Caulfield) really made me wonder where the quirkiness and fun that *can* inhabit minimal stuff (Marcus Nikolai style) had gone.

WOAH MINIMAL FITE.

stephan bodzin is not minimal-- but he has done some amazing stuff in the past year or two. sometimes his sound is so fucking huge and bombastic that i can't help but lose myself in it. HIS mix for RA is really good, even if a lot of it is his stuff. i remember not having heard 'liebe ist' before and shitting myself listening to its inclusion in that mix.

anyway, let's ignore the thread title here and talk about the stinkers. imo, tim sweeney (good tunes bad mixing), future loop (meh) and radioclit (perhaps the name turned me off enough, but i didn't like what i listened to).

Oh Ripperton mix, how could I have doubted you?

i thought the mixing on the sweeney one was pretty good, considering how it leapt around all over ths shop!

Tim Sweeney's mix was great! Holy Ghost! Colonel Abrams! Lee Douglas!

It's up there with Maurice Fulton and Efdemin (and Ron Trent, although I'm only on my first listen) as the best in the series for me.

My favourites are Dixon and Sebo K. I remember the Ewan Pearson one being awesome as well but I lost the CD I burnt of it.

My favourites are Redshape, Pearson and Dixon but I'm rather behind now.

I forgot Heidi!

Okay so POX:

Dixon
Sebo K
Heidi
Ewan Pearson (I think?)
My My
M.A.N.D.Y.
Redshape
Henrik Schwarz
Efdemin
Maurice Fulton

No Alex Smoke love?

The standout dissapointment for me so far is Ame. Totally boring and predictable mix.

The Alex Smoke is good yeah! I really like the early downtempo track with female vocals and the junglistic bass hits.

The Efdemin is the best by miles and miles...brilliant mix.

Deadbeat! My goodness, now you've done it resident advisor! I can't wait to listen to this.

btw, Mehlt, I've listened to your Frank Booth mix about 8 times at work, and it's terrific. That track with the pitched down voice talking about (erm, looking for Suzie or something - sorry, don't have it in front of me) is brilliant As is that Ewan Pearson remix towards the end. Thanks!

Wow, thanks a lot! (That track is "Lady Judy" by Fuckpony by the way)Glad you like it.

the deadbeat's great

prins thomas downloading right now. looks like it's a long one!

HA! Earlier today, bored in class or whatever I was thinking about Prins Thomas, and how I saw him like 3 and a half weeks ago, and how interesting it would be to get a recorded version of that set. Today, I check resident advisor, BAM! it's that very set.

It's a good one by the way.

yeah. i love how live it is, with the cheering and all

Oh God, you actually hear that asshole that was next to me yelling "Boh Boh Boh" Which is like the third time at that bar I've been forced to endure his Junglist hootings and hollerings which generally last the entire time.

fuck that guy

A bit of a quiet achiever podcast for me has been Dan Curtin's. His set and Luciano's Siloclub set really sum up the 2007 deep-house-from-minimal vibe for me.
