house/techno bobbins 2012

the Strip Steve album is pretty good, I was expecting a bunch of bangers like "Calcium" but it's more like funky disco loops

actually one drawback is that there's nothing that bangs as hard as "Calcium." but I like the album.

any thoughts about the controversial theo parrish's new track?

Which one? The Running Back release? What's controversial about it (I'm not questioning you, I just haven't heard it)?

this?

yes, that's the one. by controversial I mean most people seem to hate it.

Thoughts? It's a track based on Kung Fu movie samples. I think it's something that TP could get away with in a set, I can't imagine hearing anyone else playing it out. I guess it will sell because it's got his name on it.

Okay, so here he is explaining it, go to 14 mins.

leave it to wu-tang, theo.

Would sound great on a big system in the right hands IMO.

So Nick Hoppner's Panoramabar mix is pretty excellent. If you've been waiting for another sequel to Daniel Bell's Button Down Mind mixes look no further.

a sequel to that sounds v good

last track aside i dont know any of these records either!

YouTube embeds on my iPad never show me the track name, but I like the dog barking one.

ah yes, I really enjoy panorama bar 04, too. really my kind of mix, no obvious peaks, just grooves along steadily from start to finish.

holy shit this event

Recently upgraded system sounded sweet the last time I went to Corsica.

tief are really bringing it atm. just saw legowelt last weekend and jus-ed a while before that. both were great although the crowd's reluctance to dance during the ed night nearly ruined it. had to close my eyes and shut them out.

The very short bits of the track I heard while skimming didn't necessarily grab me; that said:
AHHHHHHHH BOSTON TERRIER!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I'm enjoying this one.

Massive Innervisions vibe there.

On that note, can we talk about the total ace-ness that is Howling (+ Ame Remix).

The subtle bowl-you-over effect of Ame in their usual excellence. I remember being pretty indifferent to it when I first heard it, but hearing dixon play it a few nights later I (not recognizing it) Shazamed it four times just to find out what it was (rarely will I try more than twice).

Anyways, it's grown on me even more since, and yeah, it's gorgeous.

Has this been mentioned up in here? Just saw it on Ada's RA chart...reaaaaly nice stuff:

And a quick ILX search suggests that he used to post on here?

Studio Barnhus putting out some good things.

new tom middleton (i know) is sounding amazing, had heard it in a few mixes.

samples here, http://www.juno.co.uk/products/penrose-steps/467138-01/ a1 is the track i'm talking about.

still not feeling that frank wiedemann track. it's got this―to put it harshly―gay indie vocal that I had grown tired of.

'gay' as pejorative, really dude? (i don't like that vocal either)

pejorative? no, not really. it's like when people call disco or house gay.

dunno whether lauer belongs here or one of the disco threads but this remix is great http://soundcloud.com/kitsune-maison/maybe-you-lauer-remix

Robert Hood's new album is fucking great. Been listening to it all day.

Steevio's new EP captures the vibe of his amazing Freerotation sets really well:

That Tom Middleton above. I've been meaning to make a track with a "barber-pole" effect for about 15 years but never got around to it.

That Middleton track, is there a minimal revival happening already, or did Ovum never leave?

is that really minimal? sounds like house to me

plus ovum was always kinda housier, rather than minimal.

i got a lot of my old vinyl from my parent's house recently, this one, on ovum, still sounds really good to me.

It's a beefier Middleton'd take, but the use of a gimmicky non-melodic hook and looping quasi-techno backing is exactly the kind of minimal tech-house crossover I got so bored of, just before the more deeper sounds in house started to gain traction again a few years back.

Quite amazed no-one has put this on Youtube yet as it's been out since January, but one my favourite house drops of the year is in this track:

Really enjoying The Mole's new one. Bubbly!

i think you're totally wrong on this, it's nothing like that sound at all to me.

Just listened to the Penrose Steps sample and... you might have heard those plock-plock noises in a minimal set but not any other element of the track. I think of Middleton as a straight-up maximalist really.

it sounds amazing in this gerd panorama bar mix: http://soundcloud.com/gerd/gerd-dj-set-panorama-bar

and not at all out of place next to all the classic stuff.
