Just my little "joke", nothing personal.
Anyone like Vera's stuff? Only just heard her because of her remix of clan destino's last single, moodsupport, really love this! 'hooked up with da drums" is pretty good too

yeah i like vera a lot, cherry blossom. will definitely check that remix. the first LLFO was one of my favorites from last year (ultra spacey minimal house tool)

What the fuck was that burst of vitriol in aid of?
In fact, that's pretty creepy and more than slightly stalkeresque to not even write your own burst of vitriol, but to dig up and quote someone else's words from, like, several years ago? I kind of have some sympathy for Tombot, considering what he was going through at the time he was writing vitriolic stuff like that but to dig that out and repost it in a thread that has nothing to do with it is almost borderline psychotic.
..................................
Drawing a line under that,
Anyway, I think the reason that no one brought up such goddesses as Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram was that it would be nice if this thread concentrated on people *currently* making music.

Barging into this thread only to say that I wish both Solex and Mira Calix would release more albums (yes I know they're still working, but still)

(replying to 2-day-old posts time, Mira Calix xpost synchronicity)
Re Anja Schneider - I have seen some people dismissing her work as the product of her various co-producers.ellen allien got a lot of the "so her boyfriend produced it?" remarks
Yeah, this seems a common thing with, ahem, Women In (not just) Electronic Music. The number of Autechre fanboys who'd get very upset about Mira Calix being terrible dull uninventive and not like their heroes at all, oh and by the way clearly Sean Booth writes all her tracks... well then why aren't they sparkling Autechresque genius? You can't have it both ways!
(I have no real axe to grind for her, but have read many IDM heads rant about her out of all proportion to her music, which I found a bit dull but hardly distinctively terrible or "the first bad act on Warp" as I have seen claimed, and not really shifting too many undeserved millions as far as I noticed)
also on the UK side of things is mary anne hobbes
I don't even know if Hobbs is another example of this, since I've heard "oh she just likes whatever her producer tells her is hot", but on the other hand her show seems so faddish that it almost made sense. And then I felt dirty for thinking that, since it's such a common dismissive trick.
― a passing spacecadet, Thursday, 2 July 2009 10:00 (fourteen years ago) link
hobbs has a lot of cred in the dubstep/uk bass scene, at least. "faddish" - people's taste changes, scenes come and go, esp the underground ones that she covers.
forgot akiko kiyama yesterday too...nothing on youtube. youtube is so bad for some of these.
― lex pretend, Thursday, 2 July 2009 10:05 (fourteen years ago) link
I love the way Mira's music can be dry and unfriendly and academic, a lot of the moaners hate her because she doesn't pander. That said, her last album was a lot more colourful and conventionally pretty and generally all-round pleasurable.
― Milijas now living will never die (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 2 July 2009 10:05 (fourteen years ago) link
Why does she need her producer to tell her something's hot in order for her show to be faddish? Has she not ears of her own - or eyes - to read the blogosphere to tell her the same thing?
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Thursday, 2 July 2009 10:05 (fourteen years ago) link
I think the argument was that her show suddenly became predominantly dubstep at the same time as getting a new producer. No idea if the second part is true (suspect not, now I've written it down), but as I generally care for dubstep less than the technoish end of things I'd noticed the former.
But I'm sure a lot of other people's listening habits did the same, and it probably is just down to her own enthusiasm, and some genuine enthusiasm for new scenes and strains is good to hear on the radio, especially now most of that support seems to be bundled off onto 1xtra or whatever.

Are they a couple then? Really glad I don't bother fucking with IDM msgboards or whatever, people who are *really into* the genre kind of seem like the worst people sometimes. I did however see a nightmarish clusterfuck when someone called Aunt Acid (who eventually released stuff as Syntheme, who I mentioned on the locked thread) uploaded some tracks on the Planet Mu forum - cue 100 douchebags convincing themselves that this was another Aphex pseudonym

xpost. IDM heads are pretty loathsome. Once went to an Autechre gig and a guy in front of me, with a skinhead and a North Face jacket no less, said to someone on the phone, rather pointedly, "there's a big cue to get in, loads of indie kids", while looking askance at me, I had longish hair swept over in the front, a checked shirt and well-fitting pair of jeans and a pair of converse on so obv. must be an indie kid!

jennifer cardini - probably most well known for her mix for kompakt, which i heartily endorse. it might be a bit sterile, but the tracklist and flow are expert. it's a spacious bouncy kompakt mix made with very few actual kompakt singles. neat. i was introduced to her by this mix way back in 2001 in paris. (on the same trip i got to hear a laurent garnier daft punk double bill at the rex. hell yes!)
tania vulcano - i rate her circoloco mix from last year: from sneak to freaks to mountain people. nice and atypical for a commercial ibiza mix.
