commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

that alan howarth mix was a+

wanted to get that out there

nicolas jaar is 19 years old

Nicolas Jaar: I was a Teenage Villalobos

^^ what I call the imaginary thread on him I've never started yet.

Easily my favorite and most listened to music of the year. Not just the podcast, everything.

Jaar is 20, btw. his new album is...um...well, i really love it a lot.

i'd post my review here, but i don't think i should since i just finished it a few hours ago.

i only heard nicolas jaar for the first time on thu, and i'm basically blown away.

this guy's so great. hoping i can get a ticket on the door when he plays in shoreditch in a couple of weeks

dude really deserves his own thread

*Ahem, I made a thread about the new generation of sub-23 year old producers (explicitly including Nicolas Jaar) months ago and not one person posted ;_;

Well, let's try again.

Nicolas Jaar: I was a Teenage Villalobos

hey table, thanks for the fact check! i have updated the podcast info field on Freaky Trigger..

can someone tell me what they like about the jaar RA podcast? or just explain what they see him going for or why this is particularly novel? not trynna start beef just wanna know what the 'narrative' here is

hey guys-- are these available for streaming/download anyplace online? i'm trying to find a bunch of the older ones that seem to be "archived" (read: unavailable) on the RA site. thanksxxxx!

not that I know of. but doing a simple search for any of them that I've missed out on has always been fairly painless for me. lot's of blogs post em.

resident advisor article on the electronic/club/dance scene in minneapolis. was interesting to hear about all this stuff happening in the city i live in, but yet i had no idea outside of seeing fliers for a couple of the big club nights.

It's good to hear a dj mixing up some old tracks and not resorting to a bunch of hackneyed, obvious bangers (a la Steve Bug's RA and Photek's FACT mix).

anyone been to any of the resident advisor "X" parties?

going to the Sydney one on Saturday week

the ra guy's girlfriend told me that the "X" for the last one in amsterdam one is gonna be incredible...booked

"Infine boss Agoria and Italian techno artist Donato Dozzy will bring the former, ex-Wighnomy brother Robag Wruhme and Leftroom head Matt Tolfrey the latter. Joining the dots in the middle are Trouw residents Patrice Baumel and Nuno dos Santos (AKA 360). The party engulfs both floors of the cavernous club on the Saturday night of ADE weekend, and as always, includes a secret headliner whose identity will be revealed the moment he or she steps into the booth."

What's Trouw like as a venue, tpp?

Robag's in Sydney too, is anyone else doing multiples? I know the Xs are excloose but good deal to get hand-picked by two of them

.a.l.v.a..n.o.t.o.....!.!.!.!.!

Who is the last RA X?

hype

the new RA download store is interesting.

This week Agoria takes a smooth journey through 10 years of classics. Not for the trainspotters but pleasant enough for a Monday.

Harvey!

HARVEY. Can't wait until tonight when I get a chance to listen to this!

oh, ive not listened to an RA podcast in forever but im downloading this now. yas.

I probably listen to like 3-4 podcasts a year. This will likely be one of them.

boiler room > FACT mixes > RA

i didn't like this harvey mix that much :/

are RA podcasts still 160kpbs?

not listening to dance music at that bitrate at all

But you'll listen to it on Youtube?

are RA podcasts still 160kpbs?

ha

soooooooo glad this wasn't another "here's some DISCO for ya, kids" mix. it's quite a trip right? listened to it LOUD while tidying the house last night. djhistory and RA forum reactions are quite funny.

it gets pretty good after 30 mins or so, but i was a bit disappointed at first too. i guess it helps to know what you're getting yourself into

this is so good. Noisy and excellent and when it get's going it really does.

excellent retrospective on donna summer by notable ilxor a. soto on RA: http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1611

UNTOLD

The new Robert Hood one is a complete thumper. Really bangin' stuff.

Heard some negative reports about it elsewhere.

wow a sagittariun mix is ... something else

i know it's really corny to be like ... this mix is supposed to take you on a journey maaaaaaan ... but this mix does!

yea in theory this progression of styles seems less than inspiring but the execution is pretty rewarding. i listened the first time without a tracklist or having read the writeup and might recommend others do the same? it's nice to just kinda jump in without knowing where things are headed

Todd L. Burns apparently stepping down as editor at the end of the year. Curious as to who will - and who can - replace him.

Interesting... a site re-design is probably overdue anyway.

The newish Mayer poddie is very well executed, as per usual.
