no, but you you should go and report back to this thread! m.i.a tracks = niceness.

you mean mia from germany?

yeah, mia from germany, did she do that 'tied to the 80s' track, i used to dance in my bedroom to that. i wasn't sure how deep/minimal/thoughtful she'd play it, i want to bring friends with and don't want them all to stare at me balefully.

she must be doing some dates in london too i expect.

Tied to the '80s -- isn't that MRI?

Out of the MIA stuff that I do know, "Milchreiter"'s (on a Sub Static 12" from last year, I think) my favorite.

― Andy K (Andy K), Thursday, 29 January 2004 15:41 (6 years ago)

yeah, that's my favorite, too. i put that one in a bunch of mixes...

also i think there might be some confusion here as there's MIA and M.I.A. - two different artists that are quite different from what i gather. M.I.A. is the trapez/substatic artist

This is getting even more confusing... What about the U.K. hip-hop-ish act? "Galang galang galang" etc. Also called "M.I.A."

And the 80s hardcore band, which was what I thought this'd be about

the two artists i refer to are both from germany

and i think there's a us punk bank by this name, too

From my understanding, the MIA who runs Sub Static and has releases on Trapez and Traum is the same person. There's also the MIA that's had a couple UR releases.

― Andy K (Andy K), Thursday, 29 January 2004 16:00 (6 years ago)

okay, it's M.I.A. from germany. will she make me dance? i'm sure i've heard stuff of hers on trapez and itiswhatitis which were okay. i don't want it to be too techy and drawn-out. i mean, she may dj on a totally different tip. i will probably go anyway so will post back monday with update.

― nebbesh (nebbesh), Thursday, 29 January 2004 16:02 (6 years ago)

I don't think she's done anything on ITISWHATITIS, but as Andy says, she's released stuff on Traum, Trapez, and Substatic.

I've never seen her dj, but judging from her releases I'd wager she'll play on the softer and dreamier side of minimal house.

By popular demand, an unsullied thread about the German house MIA.

Has anybody heard the album Survivor that Mia snuck out as in a two part digital release last year?

Michaela Grobelny was a very fine DJ when I saw her a few years ago, has anyone seen her play recently?

i've never seen her dj ;_;

i thought she'd been quiet recently, but it seems she quietly released a couple of EPs last year, which i'm now gonna check out...

We were lucky enough to have her play twice in Brighton. From memory she played more techno-y than her records would suggest, almost Detroit-y at times. Also seemed to have a love of the party - dancing on the floor after he set, which is all too rare among DJs.

I find her very hit and miss on her releases but like you I haven't checked out the recent tracks yet…

to get back on topic for a minute, mia from germany has a ustream channel w/ a new dj set every week month or so.

uh her name is actually maya arulpragasam jeez

i like the song w/ the gun sounds from the superbad trailer

Watching the 24/12/10 uStream at the moment, nice to hear Falko Brocksieper popping into the mix for a bit, also a decent DJ - if a bit too linear. I'm not so keen on Bleed though.
