commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

the first track's gotta be neu! or harmonia, right? i don't have those at hand to ID the track but it sounds an awful lot like "fur immer" period neu!

Don't think so, I'd definately recognize Neu! And I don't think it's Harmonia either, not unless they released more than the two albums I know... Like I said, this track has a touch of glamrock (Roxy meets Neu! in a way) that I've never heard from them (though it could be argued that Dinger injected a bit of it on Viva).

is there anything even worth listening to twice out of the first 20?

ive listened to #2 (pig & dan) and #10 (serge santiago) a bunch of times!

my fave is probably #43 but then im a bit of a bodzin fanboy ^_^

Kiki's was #5 I think. Definately liked it a lot.

Efdemin's mix is ace!

The Troy & Pierce one was actually the best minus-y thing I'd heard, but I haven't listened it to a while so I'd have to go back and check.

Efdemin was really great, over an hour and 45 minutes of it too :)

All podcasts are available atthis site and by the fact that theres #58 (accredited to Guy Gerber by the way) up before Resident Advisor makes it pretty consistent, hmmn.

This Joris Voorn mix is stupendous with its swirling emo summer love. And weird ambient breakdowns! So cool!

yeah I was about to revive this thread to say the same thing! It's totally my dream mix of spooky deep house non-stop!

i thought maurice fulton's mix from last year was bleeding amazing but because it wasn't techy it got unfairly ignored

couldnt get into voorn excpet for the ambient bits. pwog ftw!

the ben klock mix, on the other hand, is killing me. probably too chugging and monochrome (not -tone) for most people though.

the ben klock mix is incredible, maybe even the best of 07

(best resident advisor mix i mean)

the carl craig siobhán donaghy track as the third tune or whatever really bugged me about the ben klock. but that's a kneejerk complaint I know.

The fact that he looks just like the techno version Henry Rollins bothers me; And while I'm getting eager to listen to it, an am a Klock fan, I've become skeptical as to how much I can actually enjoy it. Because of that, and the rather intimidating description RA wrote that makes it sound like the mix is full of harsh, aggressive, banging techno (which only makes him seem more like Henry Rollins)- although the bits I've skimmed through make it seem more easy going, and uhhh pretty good.

it's not harsh - it's more loopy and repetitive I think. if you're a fan of that downstairs Berghain style it will suit.

this week's samim mix is fantastic!

indeed!!! konono no. 1!!! such a don

http://www.robidog.com/podcast/residentadvisor/

yup this samim mix is really nice

I'm with ☪ and creme1 here, the Klock mix is fantastic.

I'm not quite sure... you need some bloody stamina to get right through it in one go!

hi hector

no this Klock mix is damn good, wish it was a bit more pacier (a lot of highs, but a lot of slack periods too) or something, it's SO nice to hear a mix that really sounds like it's trying to make every thump & echo & reverberation count though. it must be hard to do 'cos I don't get that feeling from enough mixes really...

yeah, what you said.

the ron trent mix this week is sublime.

sounds like bog-standard deep house fare to me :\

lol like you know about any fare of it -but thanks for ending the unbearable suspense, I'll bet people were willing to give an arm to hear your pov on that one! And I'll be sure to come here & post about every upcoming minimal mix on RA ("sounds like bog-standard dub&drugs-influenced nerdy sound design to me")

wow ron trent!!

hmmm i wonder what "altered states" was influenced by ;-)

why did I even bother, his comment actually reads like a straightforward admission of ignorance at the expense of something he has no interest in.

the ron trent is fucking sublime. definitely RA's best podcast of the summer.

just got to 50' and the ...B-52's song? some bog-standard deep house band they were. sheesh people be making fools of theyself w/out even listening.

give em enough rope

And I'll be sure to come here & post about every upcoming minimal mix on RA

yeah youve never unfairly lambasted minimal on ilm before. im sorry if i besmirched your favourite dance music style dude

all minimal lambasting is thoroughly fair

ron trent1!!!!!!!!!!

anyway -- fezaffe likes stephen bodzin not minimal, get your target right (pretty big target too, hard to miss)

"in the moog for love"

The Ron Trent is really nice. That Joris Voorn house / ambient mix a few RA's back really whetted my appetite for more house. And a few mixes (like the Jeremy Caulfield) really made me wonder where the quirkiness and fun that *can* inhabit minimal stuff (Marcus Nikolai style) had gone.

WOAH MINIMAL FITE.

stephan bodzin is not minimal-- but he has done some amazing stuff in the past year or two. sometimes his sound is so fucking huge and bombastic that i can't help but lose myself in it. HIS mix for RA is really good, even if a lot of it is his stuff. i remember not having heard 'liebe ist' before and shitting myself listening to its inclusion in that mix.

anyway, let's ignore the thread title here and talk about the stinkers. imo, tim sweeney (good tunes bad mixing), future loop (meh) and radioclit (perhaps the name turned me off enough, but i didn't like what i listened to).

Oh Ripperton mix, how could I have doubted you?

i thought the mixing on the sweeney one was pretty good, considering how it leapt around all over ths shop!

Tim Sweeney's mix was great! Holy Ghost! Colonel Abrams! Lee Douglas!

It's up there with Maurice Fulton and Efdemin (and Ron Trent, although I'm only on my first listen) as the best in the series for me.

My favourites are Dixon and Sebo K. I remember the Ewan Pearson one being awesome as well but I lost the CD I burnt of it.

My favourites are Redshape, Pearson and Dixon but I'm rather behind now.

I forgot Heidi!

Okay so POX:

Dixon
Sebo K
Heidi
Ewan Pearson (I think?)
My My
M.A.N.D.Y.
Redshape
Henrik Schwarz
Efdemin
Maurice Fulton

No Alex Smoke love?

The standout dissapointment for me so far is Ame. Totally boring and predictable mix.
