commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

the Culoe de Song is awesome, i think. but the rest of yall seem pretty boo on african house shit, so whatever.

resident advisor >>>> FACT mixes

the classic mix site was d-i-r-t-y.net, that site was so f'ing dope and way ahead of its time.

here's the new website: http://www.d-i-r-t-y.com/

but i can't find the "mixes archive" anywhere

They occasionally post a mix on their mp3 blog, http://www.alainfinkielkrautrock.com/. I've got a folder of 20 or so DIRTY mixes saved over the last few years, I can hook you up with them if you're interested.

I can't stop listening to Surgeon's mix! I think it's my favourite RA podcast ever ...

^^ditto

yo i kept on repping Surgeon a couple of years ago and all these people i knew were like, 'whuh?' and now the awesome podcast has provd my point valid.

I've been totally set on him since the glade festival liveset someone posted here a year ago. They are a thing of wonder.

no more love for the culoe de song? amazing stuff imo.

Listening to Peter Kuschnereit's podcast now ... AWESOME.

And in the interview he says he's working on an Orphyx remix? YES YES YES WANT WANT WANT

the culoe de song is srsly good, i agree.

Peter Kuschnereit? Is his on RA?

yeah, as "DJ Pete"

yeah dj pete podcast is real good.

"Thank you England for dubstep!" indeed.

Culoe de Song mix is totally beautiful.

Can i upgrade "beautiful" to "astonishing, indescribably brilliant etc. etc."

I have always thought that Henrik Schwarz was an artist who is actually a genre, and this DJ set proves it (does that make sense?).

oh snap LINKWOOD!

yeah i was gonna post here to say that i've already listened to the new linkwood + house of traps one like 3 times. good stuff

immediate all-time classic status

Finally heard the Culoe De Song. Love love love.

linkwood ... WOOT WOOT

Ellen Allien?

i havent downloaded it because i spit the dummy out at lack of inclusion of a tracklist.

I thought they didn't usually throw the tracklist up until the next podcast pops up and it gets "archived". Anyway, just finished it. Took a little for it to get going, but I really enjoyed the second half. I'm shit with track IDs tho, so don't expect me to name anything.

ah right, i probably just download them all late usually then! I'll give it a go.

Ellen Allien is such a boring DJ these days that I have next to no interest in hearing her podcast.

Is the Culoe de Song one still up?

it isnt.

i enjoyed the losoul podcast a lot. held my attention till the end, which i cant say of many minimal house mixes.

RA forums up in arms about this track. They tarded.

08. Moderat - Rusty Nails (Booka Shade Remix)

I'm up in arms about this track, in a good way.

otherwise ZZZ to the extreme

Township Funk is a good track but putting it on a mix at this point is nearly the equivalent of playing Celebration by Kool & The Gang.

I'm sorry that you're being forced to listen Matt DC, that must be a real grind.

This mix is okaaay... I'm not that into it though must admit, although it at least has some kind of red-blooded pulse compared to some out there. I don't think Ellen's gotten boring as such, but she's definitely become predictable of late. Also seems a bit far gone to ever turn that around now. It's a bit disappointing.

so ending with LFO is the equiv of dropping

?

i don't really understand why people hate LFO so much.

i love lfo, plus hating on "obvious" choices is some bullshit.

sound quality of the podcast is a bit iffy. Even more than usual low bitrate podcasts.

who the hell hates LFO?!

yeah, i haven't listened to it as yet, but 'obvious' choices along with some deeper cuts are what makes a set FUN TO DANCE TO.

some peeps on the RA, plus there's some definite snark in Macallan's comment above.

RA comments people are wack

I've been digging that mix of Township Funk that has the cheesy 80s orchestral stabs in the intro. They remind me of old PSB remixes. Crookers Supertrance remix, I think.

can someone explain this Crookers business to me? every remix i ever heard from them just reaked of less-soulful Nick Catchdubs shittiness.

no one hates lfo, its just kind of sad to see ellen allien leaning on dependable tracks, she just isn't exciting anymore which is a real shame

i guess that i never really saw Ellen Allien as anything but a populist and a favorite, especially among people who know little about dance music.

it makes me sad that people think it's kind of sad that she would play lfo. heaven help us!

yeah, don't be populist, yet vibrant enough to appeal to even casual dance music fans AND actually play good music. Does nothing for your cred! jesus table could you be any more condescending?

why are people who self-identify as "knowing about dance music" SO much more obnoxious than the equivalent fanboys in other genres anyway?

as for Ellen, I feel like I need to defend the idea of her but it's of some version a good couple of years in the past now :(

fandango, i know you've pulled me up before for excessively banging on about her bloody weiss mix but for me she's never bettered that mix in terms of track selection and general kick-assness. i won't mention it again.

lol! I don't mind that being mentioned again in this context at all, I just personally don't see it as THE single highpoint the way a few people seem to, a lot of her mixes (on CD and otherwise) are hella great from before and after. Not really nuts about the RA one though but my expectations aren't really there anymore now...
