Fabric 13 - Michael Mayer

the Heiko Voss is insidious
Villalobos - Easy Lee is just cool
my wife loves the Superpitcher track the best
&
Le Dust Sucker has something to it that just works right where it is in the mix

the whole thing does have kinda of a goth/industrial/pop/house sheen to it which is just kinda like magic

by the way did you ever live in london?

But it made me realise how ignorant I am about this kind of music -- I don't even know what to *call* it: it's some sort of house, right? (and yeah yeah names aren't important, but they at least send you to the right section of the record shop). Forgive my ignorance, but where would I go to find more stuff like it?

i've seen a lot a raves for m83 off-ILM. primarily by indie types (i make no judgements in saying that).

He was also way into dance music.

tried it again today; track 1 ("i think about you (Geiger Mix)") is crushing me.

I dunno man, last time I was there (which was a while back when I lived in the hood), I caught a real "hipper-than-thou" hipster vibe from the place...
The coffee was good. The food was good. But the people seemed kinda snobby. Or maybe I'm just not cool enough.

is bookending your mix with two versions of the same track sort of cheating a bit?

THIS IS SO GOOD U GUISE

am i the only person who couldn't get into this mix?

apart from the fantastic jackson mix of m83, i find the track selection pretty dull. sorry.

you are not forgiven

probably my favourite mix ever, this

it really is amazing (sorry vahid)

Still the best Fabric mix by a fucking mile.

Which track actually has "Isn't it amazing" as a vocal?

I *LOVE* this so much, and thank you ILM 2003 for introducing me to it.

it is really sweet

i prefer immer to this i think

i prefer immer 2 to both of them!

listened to this yesterday after seeing this thread. i believe i shall do so again now.

in response to the first thread...

yes. it is good.

Immer 2 deserves more attention (and a second chance or three).

It lacks the immediate first impression of Immer as well as the easier accessibility of Fabric 13, but Immer 2's so shimmerier and slinkier.

immer 2 took a few second chances with me, but it is now my favorite of the three (the other two are still tip top obv.). it is really good late at night on headphones.

Man, this (now 9 year old!) mix is still SOOOOOO AMAZING.

this mix is the best

Happy New Years... 2 hours to go for me but Killerteppich just came on and people are having a good time.

This is probably my favourite mix album ever.

Is his Mantasy album any good? (Or is there conversation about it elsewhere?)

Mantasy isn't very exciting but I like it just fine.

Recommend his RA podcast from the end of last year, like it better than the album, up there with his older mixes.

Read a description of it as "middle aged" which actually made it appeal.

Mantasy is a nice sort of Sundayish album to sit and read to but it's not really house music, until you get to the final third at least. It's beautifully produced and there's some lovely stuff on it though.

Cosign the recommendation for the RA podcast though, that's essential.

Ta. Any recommendations on tracks to here from Mantasy? The couple I've played have been a bit ... nothing, really.

Will hunt down the podcast.

you might want this too, if you fancy a 12-hour michael mayer mix at all

Thanks. Where's a good place to find "archived" RA podcasts?

most of them are up on soundcloud - http://soundcloud.com/medellinstyle/michael-mayer-resident-advisor

The RA mix is pretty good. Mentioned a couple times in other Mayer threads but his mix for John Peel was pretty great albeit short. I re-uploaded it since the blog I found it on had it on Megaupload. <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ydgy868f9f9cy81";>Link</a> and <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/tracklistings/peel_archive_shtml.shtml?20030318";>tracklisting</a>.
