house/techno bobbins 2012

the talking on the mic is 100% them trolling listeners like ronan imo

i haven't heard the mixes where they talk over it, when i saw soul clap there was no mic action and it was a pretty chill crowd

this hot creations/crosstown rebels sound was pretty refreshing when it first came out. "l word", "forward motion", "without you" are aces. but then they keep retreading the formula to the point that it became boring and predictable. I can't stand Maceo Plex.

I can't wait for the inevitable curation of Hot Creations because it will be one disc of great post-minimal vocal house and it will be all I need.

from this scene I mean, not by itself alone.

im very tempted to start a separate s/d thread but i really really love everything ive heard on the life + death label partic the pillowtalk ep from late last year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESHsqWl4A_c&feature=related

anyone have suggestions/thoughts??

i like both pillowtalk eps, probably like the one on w+l even more than that ^ one tho. what else is on that label?

i think what hot creations is doing has a lot more in common with azari & iii style vocal house revivalism than anything else, and i love it - even tho yes it can be somewhat formulaic

theres a dOP 12" 'after party' that i really vibe and a bunch of remixes by ppl that i vaguely recognize. they arent updating their website which is p lol but they only have four 'official' releases

the talking on the mic is 100% them trolling listeners like ronan imo

listeners like who? what's a listener like me? might want to update your ilm filofax.

also love this, it's like "you've fallen completely into their trap"...OR maybe there's no problem with speaking on the mic, they just say really stupid cringey shit.

lol trolled

haha

;-)

honestly i only ever heard them do it on their BiS broadcast, where they openly stated "people keep calling in asking for us to stop talking... so we're gonna talk more!"

i think we talked abt this before tho

'jesse pinkman accents'

worst one is actually soul clap

39.30...it's just fucking awful. i had no prob with the BIS set.

doesn't help that the song is dire too.

x-post he actually does sound like jesse pinkman here imo.

The original mix of "Soft" is a good pop song. But that Life & Death remix sounds just like every other Tale of Us remix.

dunno what year these two tracks are from but really like both, no idea what they are tho

wellll you say that like its a bad thing!!

well too much of a good thing is not good, bro. I mean, I enjoy all of tale of us previous remixes but when I heard this track, I thought, oh not this bass sound again.

I've been trying to find out some ID's from this mix. Maybe someone could help me here? This is one of my favorite mixes in 2011.

The tracks that need ID-ing:

yea... was going to say, i dig most of what i've heard from tale of us. i get the impression that i value aesthetic consistency more than other ppl itt based on this and other comments re: hot creations

didn't really pay this one much attention until the ra eoy poll but it's excellent (also turns out it's on life and death. i will now pay attention to this label)

^ benefits from using a similar vocal style to art department but not falling prey to using the same damn cadence over and over again like that dude tends to do

the seth troxler edit of that track is sick

maybe you guys heard this already but this is sick:

04:13 is to die for

<3 sandwell district (label and artist)

lolling forever about this

Damn I had high hopes for The Skrill-X Factor

surely DJ factor won't actually happen.

I'm really into this at the moment, think it just about fits in here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRmz0HrECIQ

"a wild card panelist in Jamie Jones a up and coming Welsh producer who was voted Essex’s No 1 Minimal Dj in the summer of 2011."

a joke surely

haha essex, haha minimal!!!

haircuts!

Not been a minimal drop this good since Duoteque's Logo.

YES... New Omar-S = always a cause for celebration:

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

I like that Oskar Offermann track. I have a weakness for that sort of steel-drum percussive sound.

wow, that omar-s track might be the best 2012 track I've heard after Inspector Norse

anyone can ID these 2 amazing tracks played by nina kraviz?

http://soundcloud.com/user8679552/played-by-nina-kraviz

yep. new omar-s thing is p great

New Omar-s reminds me a bit of this Avondale Music Society joint

http://www.discogs.com/Avondale-Music-Society-Hakim-Murphy-Two-Takes-EP/master/277566

can anyone tell me if maya jane coles is worth seeing?

In other completely non-shocking news, this new Theo Parrish "Translation" on Running Back is great as well:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVz0rkZUFRQ

I posted Translation 2 upthread, but yeah they're both great.

re: Todd Terje

the new/original productions on 'remaster of the universe' sorta hinted that he might start doing the whole wacky live band thing a whole lot more

His remix of Bjorn Torske's Langt Fra Afrika is more along these lines - I hear a real bossa nova influence in it, it's fun enough but kinda disappointing in the context of his current run of original material.

MASSIVE!
