Techno/House Bobbins 2010

new mr g album has gotten better for me on repeated listens, love that bass.

love how the vocals on the first track are spaced out so perfectly to compliment the rhythm

not feeling: milky disco 3, mr g, abe duque,

sort of feeling, not really though: rob hood, prologue in general

feeling: berghain 04, milton bradley, samuli kemmpi

really feeling: giorgio gigli, r1o's post upthread about techno resurgence

really really feeling: actress, gerd janson live @ robert johnson

can we talk about those last two now?

FEELING TO DEATH: URBAN TRIBE ON MAHOGANI!

not feeling, sadly: new shake track on astrolab or osborn remix

consolation feeling: photonz remix

not feeling: most detroit house (esp theo parrish, moodymann somewhat less) going the way of carl craig circa innerzone orchestra

really feeling with trepidation: slow motion house a la 6th borough project, but worried if it pitches up it'll turn into underachieving tech house a la soma quality recordings, if it pitches down it'll turn into tosca

OTM re: slow motion house

I should probably check out the Urban Tribe and, when I can, put off buying the actress album finally.

actress is definitely going to be in the strong running for album of the year. it might also go down as being on the level of the first urban tribe album or it might be deeply overhyped. it's definitely better than the usual stuff that draws urban tribe comparisons (thomas fehlmann? sheesh) ... if urban tribe was like an intensely weeded-out detroit techno take on leftfield/IDM/downtempo 90s sound, actress is like an equivalent UK techno take on leftfield 00s dance music. i can definitely listen to it. again and again.

really, really feeling but with great trepidation: linkwood, firecracker, prime numbers, etc. good instincts and i like their sound but they are one more kaidi tatham collab away from turning into the 10s version of broken beat, which is exactly what all of this "micro-step" / new dubstep crap is too. it is good to see the association with actress and motor city drum ensemble, though like linkwood and firecracker he seems like he's sort of hibernating. also funny to see andres around - reminds me of trus'me because i'm still not sure if the last trus'me thing was actually a "black mahogani ii" style meltdown or just an amp fiddler style letdown

i'm totally with you on the robert johnson vol 4. what other comps has gerd janson done besides that one and the computer incarnations for world peace series? and i know next to nothing about his productions, any guidance on where to start with those?

and i think we were talking about actress on the dance partisans thread. didn't expect to like that album nearly as much as i did, it's a nice variety of styles that all happen to fit with my taste. particularly like "always human" and "maze"

and linkwood was awesome in sf last friday. have you heard the latest firecracker thing?

the vakula ep is what i was referring to, but there's a lot of other stuff on here and it all sounds pretty rad to me tbh - http://soundcloud.com/firecracker-recordings

no, i am waiting to buy it on itunes. i haven't actually liked the other vakula stuff i've heard that much but maybe i've heard the wrong stuff.

i've been really getting into the firecracker EPs 1-4 since i've been listening to mp3s a lot lately and i happened to be able to buy those off itunes. and same with the linkwood LP. just now revealing hidden layers of genius, now that i'm a little more familiar with the songs and what they've chosen to do - where at first i was just looking for competent detroit house homages - i'm appreciating better how good they are at those things and appreciating the cool subtle craftsmanship and tricks in their tracks.

prime numbers stuff actually hasn't sounded as good to me since one early november morning, deeply hungover, dozing in my parked car at 4 am, watching streetlights through the drizzle. but i keep trying.

How I'd love me a copy of the first Firecracker EP. Barely Eagle!

I'd love me a copy of the linkwood album too.

I also meant to say, upthread, that I hope to one day stop putting off buying the actress album. That's been in the cards for me for over a month and a half now.

barely eagle is on EP4. first EP has linkwood's "miles away", another linkwood track, fudge fingas sampling marvin gaye track too.

i want to start a thread about the gerd janson comp (he doesn't have any others btw) where we break down track by track where all of the other tracks have shown up. for example, the first four tracks can be found in places like

track 1: an intellinet comp, a definitive recordings comp, and a comp called "latin electrico!"

track 2: comps on choice (purveyors of "sensual deep house for the mind" and "latina beach bar house") and session (idjuts, maurice fulton, chicken lips, faze action, various other nuphonic and paper artists, etc)

track 3: ewan pearson comp, tiga comp

track 4: westbam comps, japanese and dutch hard house comps, subliminal comps, etc

see, i think these sorts of juxtapositions are interesting

Well, miles away is a good track too!

^absolutely. and i think you can probably still find a copy of ep4 on the interwebs someplace, probably the linkwood album too.

also ps- thanks to this thread for inspiring me to listen to my firecracker/prime numbers playlist nonstop for the last day or so

an obscure source tipped me to this and it is awesome:

i love this

san soda lp out at the end of the month:D

Xpost: Yes. Am really enjoying that. Was in need of nice, stripped back, well producer house jam like this.

since his music is licensed under cc, does anyone have a link to OAR003?

looks like all of them are here:

http://resistancealamode.com/eternity-is-a-mere-moment-just-long-enough-for-a-joke/

thanks!!

OAR004 is pretty tite

is this thing on?

techno / house / disco / bass / electronic bobbins listening club

xpost yeah i think the justified hype around OAR003-B has obscured the greatness of the rest of this stuff. and what i mean by that is that i'm really late in listening to the rest of these tracks. damn.

Id say about half the Oni ayhun tracks have been great, the more industrial/experimental ones a lot less successful. OAR004 is the one ive played out most but 3 is definitely the one for the cuddly afterparties

so ... anyone else digging a made up sound this year?

new demdike stare is also insane ... maybe this is the wrong thread for that type of stuff?

would love to be convinced wrt demdike stare but 'symbiosis' never clicked with me for some reason

how do people feel about the roll the dice album? maybe this isn't the perfect thread to discuss it (might have already mentioned it actually), but it's knife/fever ray-related and hits many of the same sweet spots as the recent emeralds and oneohtrix albums, with bits of dub techno mixed in. really well-produced stuff

RTD is legitimately awesome

the made up sound record was in seth troxler's picadilly picks so i call bobbins. The basic soul unit mixes he did slay.

yes, roll the dice is really great. has kind of a cluster/harmonia vibe goin on. only track i don't really like is "into the ground".

on first listen i didn't dig the new Demdike Stare as much as Symbiosis, but it might just need some time to sink in.

needs headphones

i had a dream last night i found a detroit techno album i'd never heard before! it was called ... ok i forget already what it was called but the cover was a photo of the moonscape with a green filter, and it was a collaboration between dego and ... someone from detroit. also several of the tracks had morgan geist co-production. i really miss finding new detroit techno.

now it does

anyone digging the new Ame single? awesome slow burners in the vein of their remix for NWA. they're getting more mature and it's the better for them.

look upthread.

is everyone excited for roman flugel live at robert johnson?

i've been repping A Made Up Sound since 06, you peeps been sleeeepin.

that said, the Roman Flugel live at RJ is probably the best in the series thus far, that's for sure. diggin it.

really enjoying his soylent green tracks

Just ordered BLAMMA BLAMMA 'Beyond 17' and the MCDE mix of T COY 'Carino'

This is a really nice 4 track EP (album sampler, actually): Marcello Napoletano - This Movement Must be the Moment

The new John Heckle on Mathematics is nice, too.

loooooooooving this

dude ok im only 10 mins in but this if fucking awesome!

frank tope is a fucking incredible dj

anyone know what track is playing during the first four minutes of this mix?

http://soundcloud.com/trusme/ppp-april-2010

absolutely loving this miracles club group from portland. sleek driving acid house that just elevates oh so nicely. i heard they are banging live too.

http://www.thefader.com/2010/03/10/miracles-club-light-of-love-mp3/

im loving the new sistol record, esp the first track

re: miracles club, the stuff i've heard from them in the past didn't impress me much. i went to see them at 222 hyde, and they didn't show up! van problems or something. they have a track on this compilation that's pretty good though: http://soundcloud.com/pacific-housing-authority
