commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

I WAS THERE ... when dj harvey dropped "how deep is your love" on a peak-time crowd

prins thomas played "love is in the air", in fact I think I've heard "love is in the air" a few times, todd terje and probably 2manydjs also.

yeah i don't care if you wanna forgo mixing, so long as the selections are strong. but there are some suuuuper obvious choices here.

i still must admit i enjoy listening to it

yacht rock is the soft serve space age rap of the beardo scene

yacht rock...
people have become so cynical that only the most cynical music can be perceived as authentic

i need to stop listening to these on my zen, they have seemed kinda dull and faceless(yeah yeah) lately. i've had a hard time getting through lee burridge's so i know it's me tripping. motorcitysoul was def. just boring, and i listened to it way more times than i wanted to

Aeroplane also played "Love Is In Air" when I saw them but I wasn't sure if they do that all the time or if it was just an Australian reference.

Most of the mixes are excellent in capturing what it would be like to hear someone out, but I dont think most people spend the time going through 1000 records to create a really artistic mix. I am fine with that.

i liked the yacht rock mix

sorry i didnt even hear it i just wanted to disagree with someone

"motor city drum ensemble"

first impression: keep it deep(ly boring)

or maybe just deeply predictable?

danny howells poodcast is great.
previously i've only heard his miami mix, which never really did much for me, but i'm loving this.
cabaret voltaire. marvin gaye. led zepp.
insanely all over the place, and hugely enjoyable.

i picked this up completely by coincidence the week before that came out, so i wasn't that surprised by his selection. you should look into that set, he totally kills it, esp on the first disc which has a great stretch of awesome wild pitch tracks in the middle.

that cd looks pretty great.i must investigate to see how he gets iron butterfly in there, something i have been trying to do for eons.

by only using the drum break

i have that on vinyl -- i enjoy playing 'fire island'

vinyl isnt mixed obv

i saw villalobos play the iron butterfly track. he didn't exactly work it in though.

i sense iron butterfly edits

i have done one. i've just never managed to fit it into a set. yet.

i bet there is some breaks potential in "inna gadda da vida"...

and it could be turned into a total freak out as well. (as if it isn't already, but hey)

that drum break always reminds me of the 'drum solo!!' bit in weird al yankovics 'polka yr eyes out'. would be nice if someone could make an edit without it.

weird .. i had associated howells with run of the mill house gubbins (a la miami), but the RA podcast is making me re-evaluate his status (bear in mind i have never seen the man play out, nor followed his career closely). the segue from rockit into duck rock is just fantastic, so can well believe that choice mix being of worth.
ta for the pointer, will be keeping an eye out for that.

Anyone heard the recent Orb one? If so, does anyone think it is anything other than boring?

Yeah. Agreed. I thought it started UK - with what sounded like Markus Guentner but just seemed to go on a bit. Don't remember any of funny/quirky samples that used to really add to The Orb. A good ambient mix is a tough thing to do but you would've thought those that were custodians of the Land of Oz chill out room back in the day could've handled it.

Fine line between boring and interesting in ambient stuff, agreed.

got 20 minutes into the orb podcast then gave up.
just boring.

I gave up about 2/3 through..

the Orb's 2CD mix set Art of Chill is pretty spectacular. i'd recommend that over the RA mix.

somehow, the breitbarth mix has gotten me into dance music again.

surgeon?

Brinkmann?

On a bit of a roll at the moment, RA.

brinkmann's was v. enjoyable. as was disco bloodbath's.

brikmann's was really great and made me wish it was 2002 again

does anyone have a copy of the danny howells podcast? i missed that boat for some reason

i'll put it up

can still get it here i think http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EQBBCPKM

or here, i guess

thx dudez.

is there some type of archive for these?

i tht the disco bloodbath one was esp ace

anyone have the mark e one?

yep, will upload

here you go

is there some type of archive for these?

used to be a few, ie. most of them, over on archive.org, but recently they've all been wiped out, so i guess the powers that be stepped in.
shame as i intended to catch up on a few, but have mised out now.

RA Charts: Classic or Dud? I think a lot of the tracks there are not too interesting and have short life time.
