what is going on w this guy?

Is it true that Supermayer have remixed Rufus Wainwright's "Tiergarten"???

did he relocate to NYC?

You know, I realized the other day that even though he doesn't come to mind as a standout producer of his own (even though come to think of it, I think I've only heard like, 4 of his own tracks, and those have been pretty good) but his selection of remixes (that I've heard) is impeccable. Along The Wire, The Difference it Makes, Je Regrette, The Dream of Evan and Chan, etc. etc. I saw him like two weeks ago and he said goodnight to me also, that and when I had longer hair I looked very much like him.
As to what's going on with him, I guess the short answer to that would be: Supermayer.

I think a Superpitcher Remix compilation would be fairly unbeatable.

especially if it included the first two singles as a bonus disc.

SUPERPITCHER VS. THE CONGOSOUND
SAY I AM YOUR NUMBER ONE
GREAT COLLABORATION BETWEEN SUPERPITCHER WHO COMES UP WITH A REMIX, AND CARLES CONGOST AND HIS COLLEAGUE VINCENT FIBLA. TIP.

Why isn't this available in the Kompakt MP3 store??

'Today' really is wonderful. Pretty much every track gets a full work out yet it still feels like a cohesive DJ mix. Best mix comp on Kompakt for me.

Haven't seen anything around from him in a long while, minus the supermayer thing. Not that I've been looking hard for anything. Any news of a future release or anything? What's he been up to

Supermayer was a disappointment for me. I was expecting the album to be more like their remixes, which it wasn't. Tonite was the last thing he did that I really loved.

Anything?

yeah, a new album release imminently!

He has a remix of Charlotte Gainsbourg's "The Operation" on Immer 3 which is very nice - doesn't look like it's been released. "Rabbits in a Hurry" got a weird limited release. And Discogs suggests that there's a newish remix by him & Tobias Thomas of Tocotronic - haven't heard anything about that.

Currently listening to Rabbits In a Hurry. Quite funky, less angsty than the old stuff. Beat is a bit I Zimbra and the vocals are a bit like a German Matthew Dear. Interesting although wonder how this will work across a whole album.

Having said that personally I've always felt that Superpitcher was more of a singles/remix artist who suffered from the curse of the patchy dance music album.

this is great so far!

^ had to hear this again.

Superpitcher--Heroin-(KOM035)-WEB-2001-SiBERiA

a+

can we just talk about how "heroin" is like, perhaps the finest example of this particular genre

It is so amazing. There are sadly v few records like it IMO...especially these days...

Ok I've never listened to Heroin but I generally enjoy his aesthetics. Will have to come back with my verdict.

It is amazing. How come noone played this song for me before? It does sound eerily familiar...I'm pretty sure I've overheard it somewhere in the past, or maybe it's just its pop appeal, only one listen and I'm sold. It is already amongst my favorite songs in his catalogue.

i love it so much. it is absolutely entrancing.

feel like i should make a spitcher 'best of' playlist including remixes he's done. what would u guys put on it?

i walk (remix of quarks)
the long way (from the album)
heroin obv
tomorrow?

more heroin / tomorrow?

what else

mine would probably tip in the direction of his remix work. definitely definitely put his rmx of 'the difference it makes' by the mfa, and i'd say also his m83 remix whose title i don't remember offhand

oh ha this thread started with that very idea

o ya mfa remix for sure

oh, it is "don't save us from the flames" that i was thinking of

Already mentioned several times throughout thread but these are among his best:

Charlotte Gainsbourg - The Operation (Superpitcher remix)
Dntel - Evan and Chan (Superpitcher kompakt remix)
Quarks - I Walk (Superpitcher schaffel mix)
MFA - The Difference It Makes (Superpitcher remix)
M83 - Don't Save Us From The Flames (Superpitcher Remix)

Not mentioned here for whatever reason but really good:

Lawrence, "Along the Wire (Superpitcher remix)"
Sasch Funke, "Mango (Tobias Thomas & Superpitcher's como mango version)"

Mango remix is good but falls short in comparison to Dj Koze's.

These are the other essential ones IMO:

Hell - "Je Regrette Everything" (Superpitcher Remix)
Ghost Cauldron – See What I’ve Become (Superpitcher Smallville Mix)
Carsten Jost – Krokus (Superpitcher Remix)
Phantom Ghost – Perfect Lovers (Unperfect Love Mix)

The moment the bass comes in on that Hell remix: insane. The manager of the place I held a party once ran towards my DJ friend to demand the master volume to be lowered. lolz

another essential remix:
Tocotronic - "Hi Freaks" (Superpitcher's Beautiful Freak Remix)

lullabies in the dark - iridium (superpitcher remix)
superpitcher - happiness (m.mayer remix) <= this is the godhead for me
superpitcher - the long way
superpitcher - mushroom

wonder if a superpitcher singles poll would work

andy k made a huge comp called "non album tracks" a few years back and believe me, every single song on it was pretty great. he did such a weird and wide range of techno, one of the most original producers.

Amazing how lonely sounding so much of his music is, even when it's doing hands-in-the-air communality at the same time. No idea how he continues to pull it off.

That Lullabies In The Dark remix from a couple of years ago is one of my favourite pieces of music ever.
