commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

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.

BANGING

liking this new pearson sound one a lot too

Hugely enjoyable Terry Farley interview. I could listen to him bang on about the Brit house season forever http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?exchange=184

So any thoughts on the re-design? They seem to have ditched the forums which seems like an oversight (although the bell ends who populated them won't be missed).

i'm trying to track down three of RA's old podcasts and i can't seem to find them anywhere. would anyone have one of the following and be willing to upload them somewhere?
RA 140 - Pivot
RA 159 - Manuel Tur
RA 176 - Arto Mwambe

not downloadable, and not the highest quality:

http://www.mixesdb.com/w/2009-10-12_-_Arto_Mwambe_-_Resident_Advisor_(RA.176)

I have the Arto mwambe one, could email it.

found an old external hd that might have those on it, but can't find the adapter :-/

thanks ! this is well appreciated.

like the new design, long overdue. kode9 mix was pretty banging to boot

ah actually that link isn't working for me millmeister
@or something: if it's not a problem yeah it'd be great if you could mail it to me (ilxmail should work)

no problem. i can't see how to put an attachment in ilxmail tho?

oh yeah. so you can mail me at charles.ridon50 at gmail.com

this article is epic. anyone know more about this genre or the label? little if anything on ilx about either one.

some of this music seems kind of thrilling, like dj jesse's pimp my ragga. the label's whole soundcloud page is pretty interesting.

https://soundcloud.com/principepromos i dig it , nice scene. will play at home.

yeah; it's good stuff. i'm especially digging the chilled-out vibe from this track from an act called niagara (the song is cobras).

RA has no more credibility on dance music

general feeling or specific event?

I really think some of the reviews are getting increasingly poorly written.

too much ambient / experimental / zzzzzzz

strange how often this kind of mission creep sets in

wondering what the straw that broke late great's back was

since using soundcloud more, have definitely got out of the habit of dling the RA podcasts....just looking at this years not really very many of interest

Haven't really bothered with their mix poddies in recent years (too many of them) but the Exchange series has been pretty consistent. Thoroughly enjoyed the Move D, Terry Farley, Bill Brewster and Luke Solomon interviews.

tin man! awesome!

What's good from this year so far? Kinda feel I should pay more attention after DJ Bone's preposterously banging mix.

i dont pay much attention to RA podcasts so much now, but this prompted me to have a look and see if they had anyone interesting recently and I see there's been a recent podcast from DJ Masda, so im going to play that right now!

or if you just meant in general here is a wave from inside the conviviality keg

I don't know DJ Masda at all! Will download.

(In general I'm more interested in colourful big-room house, austere monochrome techno or disco than I am in deep house or British bass music)

quite a few good ones this year, if you like monochrome techno check out sleeparchive's recent set. i've enjoyed dj taye, logos, dorian concept, barnt, pender street steppers and edward's set quite a bit.

Masda's mix didnt grab me much unfortunately

Ben Aqua's podcast, which is the opposite of what most RA techno nerds are looking for I'm sure :)

omg this new one

Logos' podcast is my favourite so far this year.

I'll get on the Carlos Souffront mix ASAP.
