I must hear more of this goodness (I think I'm only getting about what half the label is releasing at this point).

get pop ambient 2007!

― fies, Sunday, 25 March 2007 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

Doubtless. In the meantime I'm finally listening to the Gui Boratto and I don't care what anyone says/how behind the times I might be, "Beautiful Life" had me up and dancing like no song in a long, long time.

Tobias Thomas: Please Please Please [May 1]

"Please Please Please is the third and last episode in a trilogy of DJ mix CDs by Cologne's Tobias Thomas for Kompakt. More-so than its prequels, Please Please Please tries to slow things down as a modest reaction to a changing world of club culture and dance music in which technology tackles music's humanity and the permanent hunger for new kicks and simple signals leads to more and more strange musical results. The tracklisting involves some great personalities in the world of electronic music's past and present: Fred Gianelli, Ricardo Villalobos, Johannes Heil and Reinhard Voigt, to name a few. Listen closely and you'll also find covers of legendary hits by Johnny Marr and Stevie Nicks."

i found the justus/prins thing at the record store. as mentioned earlier, it's a good 'un. the 'advance' rework is my fave.

― haitch, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:05 (nineteen years ago)

The Smiths references in techno are piling up

PLANET EARTH: Listen closely and you'll also find covers of legendary hits by Johnny Marr and Stevie Nicks

― Ronan, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

Tobias Thomas - starts off promisingly, but way too much Reinhart Voigt-like badness in the middle. There's a great Burger/Thomas track on it though - 'My Favourite' - which is supposed to be inspired by Wedding Present's 'My Favourite Dress'.

― good dog, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone have a full tracklist for the Thomas mix?

― lou, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

― W i l l, Monday, 26 March 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

what is "Reinhard Voigt-like badness"? i've generally liked his stuff—especially voight&voigt collabs—and am curious about the new. it might've been ronan who once described "how we rock" as washing machine techno. that shit's still pretty effective. what's the new one like?

― andrew m., Monday, 26 March 2007 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

― veneman, Monday, 26 March 2007 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

I always imagined that Ada mix (it is a cover of the smiths track but sounds nothing like it) to be on the next DJ mix by Erlend Oye, complete with mumbling acapella singing/speaking on the top.

― Michael F Gill, Monday, 26 March 2007 23:27 (nineteen years ago)

The new Reinhard Voigt is surprisingly mid-tempo and melodic - not uffy, but it's very Kompakt as opposed to Speicher, which even Voigt's releases on Kompakt-proper have tended to sound like. I need to listen to it more though.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 00:09 (nineteen years ago)

Reinhart Voigt-like badness

if badness = badassness, i am ordering my copy NOW

― fies, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 00:12 (nineteen years ago)

I meant to say fluffy by the way. Now it looks like i'm talking about Uffie.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 00:14 (nineteen years ago)

Eek, the newest Get Physical 12" is called "Meat Is Murder!"

― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 18:33 (nineteen years ago)

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

god i'm so glad i like other genres. i know for damn sure none of my r&b girls would pull this shit on me.

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 18:35 (nineteen years ago)

Who's on that GP 12"? This is all kinda like Timbaland working with Fall Out Boy and the Hives isnt' it?

― matt2, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

mary j blige duetting with bono :(

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, that was particularly sad.

― matt2, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

Don't worry "Meat Is Murder" is standard (in a good way) Get Physical fare. One of the tracks is called "Freebasing @ Robert Johnson" if that makes people feel better.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 23:41 (nineteen years ago)

I thought it was kinda crappy....they are increasingly middlebrow...

The new Sebo K and Metro is good though.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

How more middlebrow than, say, the first Einzelkeind, or, like all of the label's late 04/early 05 output? Or do you just mean more familiar and less standout-ish?

― Tim F, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 23:44 (nineteen years ago)

I actually like the "Bonus Beats" track best on the MIM 12". I'm digging all the Kindisch releases so far though.

― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 00:34 (nineteen years ago)

Well...the first Einzelkind on Kindisch was sort of new, when it came out, and one side was really good I thought. Even the last Einzelkind on Kindisch was a lot better than MIM imo, tho having played it once I realised I didn't really like it when listening back. I just don't think they're pulling off this real house thing too well, seems kinda forced.

I guess I mean both middlebrow compared to past releases where you'd think "this stands out", and more familiar. They're not really blazing a trail with recent releases. I know this is completely unfounded suggestion/speculation, but does anyone feel DJ T may be running things at the moment? All this faithful rendition of true house music, etc etc. I wish M.A.N.D.Y. would release a single or at least come back and sign some people (if they haven't been already)

Though despite being on this same retro tip the Sebo K and Metro's single is very good, more bleepy and Craig-esque.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

SuperMayer album in September!

― lou, Friday, 6 April 2007 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

The Fehlmann album is pretty great, more consistent than Visions of Blah. Prety much everything is in the Little Big Horn/Emo Pack style. It's like listening to house music at the bottom of a swamp.

― Tim F, Friday, 6 April 2007 23:24 (nineteen years ago)

Where did this whole Fehlmann & Gut Ocean Club/I Wanna Be A Little Fishy/"house music at the bottom of a swamp" aesthetic come from??

Listening to Drexciya on ecstasy? Kinda intrigues.

― fandango, Friday, 6 April 2007 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

The funny thing is that when I saw Isolee live back in 2001 he was a lot like this, although he rarely is on record. There are some similarities between the two though - Fehlmann's (excellent) track on Total 6 was very Isolee-ish.

I think it's a bit of a Basic Channel/Chain Reaction vibe - particularly the Porter Ricks albums.

― Tim F, Saturday, 7 April 2007 08:17 (nineteen years ago)

Very cool that there's another Paape 12 at the end of the month. Hopefully he's back in recording mode now...

― Michael F Gill, Saturday, 7 April 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

tim f--which fehlmann lp are you referring to above?

― nerve_pylon, Saturday, 7 April 2007 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

The new one forthcoming on Kompakt - Honingpumpe

― Tim F, Saturday, 7 April 2007 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

"Honey Pump"

SuperMayer album in September!
-- lou, Friday, 6 April 2007 11:53 (Yesterday)

Kuhl! Didn't know they were working on one. Got any more info on that?

― willem, Saturday, 7 April 2007 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

Nope, unfortunately. There was a mention of it in the recently updated News section of Kompakt's MySpace page, but that's all as far as I know.

― lou, Monday, 9 April 2007 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

likelihood of belle and sebastian cover surely high

(Ronan: I tease. I do understand your point...)

― lou, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 11:55 (nineteen years ago)

no no, fair point! :)

― Ronan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

The new Trackheadz EP has a track called "Kompakt," which amusingly is a schaffel cut.

― Michael F Gill, Saturday, 14 April 2007 06:56 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

i got the new jurgen paape today, it's really good. tim finney, did you know that andy van has remixed his track from total 7 for a local release?? melbourne electrohouse cottage industry never ceases to amaze.

― haitch, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah I saw "Take That" on the Aria club charts and was like "?????", but yeah it makes sense when you think about it. When Michael Mayer played here he put on "Take That" and for the first time I realised how much of an anthem it is.

I really should be more sympathetic to the melbourne electrohouse cottage industry than i am.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 23:07 (nineteen years ago)

loving a couple of recent releases: Goatee, the b-side to the Rice Twins 12", and the Stardiver Speicher 48, Another Moment of Silence. I love the way the bass starts that track.

― jergïns, Thursday, 17 May 2007 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

anyone recommend any mixes from the modernist, aside from his collectors series vol 1 ?

also, is the lawrence mix-cd that was free with groove magazine available online anywhere?

thanks

Has anyone else been catching the awesome Kompakt-u-mentary that KFJC (SF Bay Area & Netcast) has been doing the past week-and-a-half in 3 parts, 11 hours total? It's been fantastic, Goodwrench knows his shit (not surprising, he was spinning techno on the radio when I was still collecting cassettes).

Tonight (may 18) is the third installment at 10pm Pacific time.

Here's my writeup, before the fact. I'm thinking of trying to get the podcasts.
Playlist 1
Playlist 2
Playlist 3 - tonight!

― DJ Logan5, Friday, 18 May 2007 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

this is funny. i live a few miles away from KFJC, and i can't imagine a more disconnected listening populace for this kind of programming.
