Techno/House Bobbins 2010

I am more succesful than i ever imagined but i still find time to write a paragraph about how well i'm doing to a dude who couldn't give a shit about me or my tracks on a message board.

Pretty sure Bill Gates isn't on yahoo chat right now saying how cool windows 7 is, mang.

Just find your negativity and housier than though attitude tiresome. Made a few cheap jokes at your music, which hasn't really made any impact on me either way, and you come out with that extremely laughable screed. Glad to know wisdom doesn't come with age and that achievement is not its own award, you really need to show other people you've achieved and tell them how much worse their taste is on the internet.

Wait a second, Display Name = Disco Nihilist?

Huh, that'd be the first time I was mocked by an artist whose music I like.

Hmmm, new artist gets a bit of success and it goes to their head non-shocker.

Well I just find this intercontinental pissing contest deeply boring.

We're a bunch of music nerds squabbling on a public forum, you'd think we could find things in common to talk about.

But no, its got to be about who's more "real". Who uses Ableton, who uses hardware.

Who grew up in Michigan, who grew up in Europe. Who gives a shit? Really?

I work 7 days a week in a factory in Wisconsin, my room is a fucking shrine to disco. Is that "real" enough for the asshole contingent?

Can I just geek out about the music I love and not tread on anyone's toes now?

All spot on. Less bitchin' more bobbins.

Good music that I've been liking in the last couple weeks, all politics and ego aside.

I like the denseness of that SH101 Acid track I must say.

i liked that snowdrift track

don't really hear whats so authentically boogie about it, could be on eskimo

Who needs zings when the people who stick up for you say shit like this? This pretty much sums it up more than any insult could.

he was talking about vahid! glad things are going well for you, shame you feel the need to make dour comments about music people like though, maybe you need more success to be happy enough that you don't need to hate other people. mostly the whole net/music fusion is fairly negative imo, others may disagree, but personally, and this is part coincidence, i have never loved what i do as much as i do now, amazingly there is life beyond blogging, who'd have thunk such a mad thing.

The funny thing is that I wasn't even being dour, I was being silly. It is great that you are taking the high road considering you are the one who started the whole thing.

Honestly, I don't hate you. To me you represent what was bad about the last decade and every day I see that stuff getting swept away more and more. It is like being mad at Hawtin for bad mnml in 2006, it is so discredited that there really isn't any point in getting worked up about it. It is good to hear that you have moved on to something that you are better suited for.

This is the last I will post on this thread for awhile. I don't have time between a new job, family, and music.

I work 7 days a week in a factory in Wisconsin, my room is a fucking shrine to disco. Is that "real" enough for the asshole contingent?

It depends, it is only real enough if you work for a union in something hardcore like a foundry or a stamping plant. Light industrial assembly doesn't count. (joking)

I am sorry if I got you worked up, I was not trying to zing you.

you should prolly start proofreading your posts if you don't want them all to sound like hateful snark btw

XP No worries.

And its silicone rubber molding, I get blisters, but not on a regular basis.

I honestly think that this whole argument could be avoided if you just think of mnml and techno as being completely separate musical entities with occasional similarities. I like minimal, but mostly the high end Perlon in 2003-05 variety. I just think of it as an extension of minimal composers like Reich and the whole New York school mixed with the last bits and pieces of Euro rave.

Do I think that makes it superior to good techno? No, its just different. Different set of tools and different aesthetics.

No one is really making bank off it anymore so I don't really know if there's anything left to hate on.

But I do really love the kind of tech funk that comes out on Wolf and Lamb for instance. Lee Curtiss, that kind of thing.

Anyone hear that track up on Little White Earbuds by Gadi Mizrahi and Soul Clap? About a month ago?

yeah, i dig that track. saw soul clap dj a week or so ago and it was really fun.

the new horizontal ground (005) is very nice

still dour...oh well. carry on all.

i dunno, if you imagine it all being read by like rupaul or something its kinda fun.

haven't heard this new horizontal ground, but i've been pretty intrigued since their RA podcast

disco nihilist i like your music and respect your hardline

anybody hear the art bleek record?

i never heard jichael mackson before but i like his new single a snake in da system a lot

Also I guess its 2009 but I finally managed to track down a copy of San Soda's purple ep on We Play House and found someone to digitize it for me because i have no record player these days and I like to listen to music when I go for a walk or get the bus. Its very good, really feeling his stuff at the moment theres another good one on a podcast he did but i dont think its released:/

thanks for the horizontal ground info. 1-4 are all awesome.

yeah horizontal ground is excellent. seems like there's a slight resurgence of good uk techno recently -- the last few releases on perc trax have been outstanding and completely essential, frozen border which is affiliated with horizontal ground has also been great, and the two new sandwell district records that just came out are some truly "dope" "shit" as they say in the us of a

enjoying forward strategy group also. this is one of my favourite tracks this year

what are the new sandwell district records?

http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=7505

am enjoying the new raudive ep on wires. soulless minimal techno with a touch of early 80s darkwave. sounds as if ike yard made a house track

loving the new dvs1 record as well

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

the forward strategy group remix of perc is great! and whoever said 'dour', can't agree. this style of music is very emotional - ina strange way

loving the new art bleek record

i am digging the art bleek.

anyone heard the Mathew Jonson album? pretty awesome imo.

haven't listened to the album yet but his fact mix/live set is great. i pretty much love everything he does though

sounds as if ike yard made a house track

oooh i hope this is as good it sounds in my head!

any thoughts on the recent mole eps? they sounded kinda samey to me and didn't leave much impression on first listen, but for the lost/there's hope took a little while to sink in and ended up being on of my favorite things last year.

loving this record

As mentioned on today's post on ISM, TR One with some Serious heat:

Is anyone else enjoying the elektro guzzi stuff? Not heard the full LP yet but what I have heard so far has been excellent.

i like the idea of elektro guzzi but the end result kinda left me cold....

That's interesting as I don't really like the idea of EG ('band plays minimal/berghain(ish)/etc techno on guitar bass drums') but am finding the end result really worthwhile. I wouldn't say it was warm exactly but it really works for me, maybe not as danceable music but certainly as listenable techno related stuff.

ah, interesting, i've seen EG mentioned but never really knew what they did. i've messed around on instruments attempting similar stuff with friends who are into techno, but didn't really have the ambition to get that tight. its tough to be so restrained on guitar/bass/drums. funny that they don't even use a synth; i guess that might take away from the novelty a bit. i'm curious to hear the album.

another al3x: thanks for mentioning that Mathew Jonson FACT mix, (((d-_-b)))<--me right now

strictly should be in the 2009 thread

this remix of Rick Wilhite - Dreams Of Yesterday (Rick's Never Will Forget mix) samples Princes 'Computer Blue'.

Is there another track from recent years that also sampled that section of Computer Blue?

On the new/forthcoming Planet E tip, this new Urban Tribe is niiiiiice:

"niiiiiice" is a bit of an understatement here -- three pristine and gorgeous high-tempo techno trax and one incredible melancholy electro track that sounds like prime black dog -- maybe a few more "i's" are required. stunning ep

maybe the black dog reference put you all off slightly; but there's definitely a balil style of melody in "insolitology"

bet ilx user vahid loves this record

references to prime black dog are some of the least off-putting things I can think of!

not a patch on the mo'wax album, sadly

:-(

liked mystic tribe ai a whole lot better

Elektro Guzzi podcast at RA - http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=212

I haven't heard EG's podcast yet. I am only judging the project on the first 10" which was OKish. the main reason why i am disappointed is because patrick pulsinger is involved and he did some really amazing music on his own for cheap, r&s etc during the 90s. in EG he is only one of three people, so maybe his voice isn't as loud!

ok i've listened to this elektro guzzi album twice today and damn. it is excellent. i guess i'm the type of person who thinks that conceptually this type of thing is a good idea to begin with (no offense to minimal/berghain-style techno) but usually bands like this make records that are a lot less interesting than this one
