To get the thread rolling...

This is really broken beat bobbins, and I haven't even properly heard it because a certain online shop has very much mislead me about when my order would be ready, but it's already February and I want to start participating in these threads again.

was it a preorder

Jeff Mills mistakenly releases another producer's track as his own

The first EP on Mills' new Str Mrkd sub-label contains a track by Julien H. Mulder, who had sent demos to the Detroit artist.

The first release on Jeff Mills' new Str Mrkd sub-label features a track by Julien H. Mulder mistakenly labelled as one of Mills' own.

The EP was meant to feature four new tracks from Mills, but upon release it was discovered that one of the tracks was actually by Julien H. Mulder, who had previously sent demos to the Detroit artist.

"In a rare mistake, it was selected for this release as Mills believed it was a track that he produced from his past recordings," Mills' label Axis Records said in a Facebook statement.

"Mills often receives demo tracks from artists seeking licenses on Axis Records," continued the statement. "As he reviews tracks, he sometimes makes a CD containing samples of tracks of himself and others to test while out on tour. On an unmarked CD and because of the similarity in production style, Mills mistook this track as something he had made a while ago and proceeded to add this to the release."

Axis has since reached an agreement with Mulder, who will be properly credited on all future represses of the EP.

Mulder is a Swedish techno producer with a handful of releases under his belt, including records for Midnight Shift and Mensch.

Not sure how I'd feel if an artist I was into released one of my demos as their own work

I have so many questions about this Mills thing. How can a person not remember making a track and then not ask where the master files have gone?

Maybe it's different if you're making tracks out of hardware jams? Easier to forget something that was made in a day than pieced over weeks, and for tracks to sound similar based on the gear?

yeah I'm thinking that Mills would do some hardware jams, maybe do a quick edit and throw it on a cd along with other stuff for cdj sets or road listening

so you end up with a bunch of cds that have completely unlabeled tracks and maybe a note jotted down with the track number and what the track sounds like

the master file is the cd track, might be tweaked a little before pressing

Considering how many tracks JM has already released that are basically variations on a specific style, I wouldn't surprised if he's made literally countless anonymous tracks (I don't know much about how pressing works but, would you ever press a track straight from a CDR wav or whatever?). That said, I dunno if I'd be more annoyed or flattered in this case.

was it a preorder

Yes. Not surprised at delays, but I ordered it when it was "expected Dec 31" 😑 I think they're doing the delayed-plane thing where they'll keep postponing it for just as long as people will wait.

Thinking about getting this while I wait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTD-cHPa-Pc

i once waited 13 months for a preorder ...

New Shanti Celeste & Hodge EP is all brilliant

The new Edemin album is really good.

2018 I guess but whatevs.

I was just in the garden eviscerating the postman at scrabble when what should meander past on a brand new bike but a propitious gust of levity from over the sea

not usually too taken with Cosmjn records but I'm stuck in a national express bus station pub and this came on and is going down pretty well with a pint of overpriced lager thats the only thing on tap

xposts: Monsieur Bleu / iO (Mulen) always delivers! 🙌

Pekkuliar & Driahn on Kommuna, though I might need to make an edit as the one flew over the cuckoos nest sample in the middle is distracting and jarring! Very good otherwise!

thanks for that peace bird; really enjoyed it!

Rymd01 is also excellent off that Genius of Time EP

I hadn't realized Heath Brunner was making records again! A couple last year, and this grand wave at overpassing cirrus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VsSPhX10vk

Not heard of Sweely before but seems to have a few records out the last couple of years. I'm not sure about the merits of playing 3 in the middle at home but needs must

maybe more of a Balearic bobbin but w/e

got excited about new burger / ink but looks like it was a previously unreleased track put on a new kompakt comp series curated by burger, still v beautiful

Midge Thompson on butter side up, this is Titonton Duvante's mix of it - unmistakable Titonton where he adds his bit!

is vakula canceled?

The decisions that were made in creating that artwork seem so ill-advised and confusing that I can't understand what the possible goal was

yeah it's incredibly gross

i have four vakula records that i like *a lot* ("metaphors", "attack the soundsystem", "slavic mythology", "pictures of you") but now i want to get rid of them

When these things are made and produced and available I always wonder how nobody at any point was able to say "hmm actually this is a terrible idea"

it's fueled by resentment.

at least that's fewer records i have to worry about not having time to listen to.

what an absolute arse of a man.

agree

wow, how edgy

this is the jam of the year so far, i think

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asILsvYEq7U

Who would have thought that jumping up and down 10 bpm would be so effective?

love that

Two Italian records played here at the Nou Camp by the magic trio, Mane, Salah and Firmino in b2b, should both be out later in summer.

that Sharif Laffrey remix of "Scream" was last year but that doesn't mean that it isn't *SLAMMING*. listened to that all through the christmas holidays, helped me out a bit lol

yea! Sharif Laffrey's been having a good run of productions recently imo

really been digging this on these late spring/early summer days. Perlon can still get it right!!

jordan this album sounds great, really gorgeous intricate rhythms

The bass on Assiah Dance :-O

Thanks for the afro house recommendations up there ^

I think I knew Jordan from here is a legit producer but not ~Chants~ Congrats.

More on the Yoyaku fam, this EP is a good one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybgp0Q5aG-M

Ha, thanks all!

(I've long thought of Assiah Dance as the most bobbins-y track on the record fwiw)

I really like this EP, fast techno but with enough polyrhythmic action to keep it interesting

A few (obvious) tracks that played well opening at up afterhours last night

We need to have a serious discussion about Bawrut. Between his remix of Nicola Cruz's "Espiritu de Proteccion" last year, then "Pioneers" and "Piano & Piano" circa NYE, and now "Pronto Arpeggio" and (especially) "Shooree", he's turned into this world-conquering combination of mid-00s Ame and KiNK,; ridiculously monumental banger after ridiculously monumental banger.

We need to have a serious discussion about Bawrut.

Take it to the TMI board.

a Tim Finney request for a serious conversation about a producer deserves attention and consideration. I will prepare myself. initial thoughts = i would like to hear all this trax at maximum volume.

Shooree @ 6:30 :D :D :D

and for fans of real music the Chris Korda album on Perlon is here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_Rbu0i1p3g

or some of it is in this Boiler Room Ibiza (you'll likely recognize the track at 30 minutes if you've been into a Greggs this summer)

I wanted to hear that record, is it vinyl-only?

Its a Perlon, so yes, it will be

There's a great forthcoming Jared Wilson on Undersound supposedly soon but no sign of it anywhere yet, but in meantime

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv-W96EVnyg

short clip of another 12 on Detroit Dancer from earlier this year

just ordered the chris korda on CD from amoeba

oops sorry, I forgot about CDs!

sorry, didn't mean to be pedantic! just wanted jordan to be aware of his options haha

Ha thx, they should encode it so you can't rip it but can only play on original CDJs.

Shanti Celeste album coming up on her own label, like the teaser track a lot: https://peachdiscs.bandcamp.com/album/peach008lp-tangerine

YES PLEASE

https://www.residentadvisor.net/news/44507

listening to samples of the korda album wasn't doing it for me. i should check out the boiler room set huh, feels like i'm missing out considering all the praise it's been getting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJhJMcyaqvU

Track from it here at Sunwaves also, at 5 mins or so

that boiler room set was extremely fun. will check out the sunwaves bit when i get home :) :)

honestly that Ben Ritz EP I posted upthread sounds like what I hoped the Chris Korda sounded like when I read about it

can't see whether this has been posted, but i really like this track.

Not really house or techno tbh but it's on Comeme so it's going in here. Everything Joe releases is absolute gold

Agreed

7/8 is the new 4/4 I guess

pelada

There's a 3/4 (I think) track on that EP as well

Everything Joe releases is absolute gold

Korda's boiler room set was nice. Is Chris still encouraging people to kill themselves? I'm not much of a fan of that particular sort of edgelording.

ziss und etnah, ziss und etnah...

with regard to Tim's post a week or so ago re: Bawrut, I think he is someone worth talking about. Personally I think he's very skilled in production terms but I find his tracks annoying, mostly. Shooreee is the one that I like. For most of the others I've heard, one listen is enough. Some of them don't bear a full listen to the end of the track tho. I just get annoyed by them.

I can totally see/hear that others might find the aspects I find annoying to be interesting. Enjoy yourself!

haha love that track

xpost to jed - his arpeggio track wore out its welcome for me after like 2 listens. its pretty annoying imo.

from a patio set i did yesterday on the last warm night of the year, this got some twirls:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jo4fHGBF6o

The word Bawrut really does sound an STD from Glasgow.

I love that Beautiful Swimmers comp and I cannot recommend enough their recorded mix from Hot Mass (not to be confused with _jed's long-running excellent club night Hot Mess)

(I couldn't get into the Bawrut tracks either)

i like them. to my mind ultimately they're acid trax. with the kind of embarrassingly on the nose epicness that can imply.

That Beautiful Swimmers track is pretty cool. Super-deep.

"I love that Beautiful Swimmers comp "

me too!

"oh, for fuck sake, FUCK OFF!" probably means you don't like a producer :)

There's a great forthcoming Jared Wilson on Undersound supposedly soon but no sign of it anywhere yet...
