commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

No Afro Finger and Gel by Mu either. People seem to have forgotten that one.

xpost: great album. Also, why does Isolee "We Are Monster" get more love than his "Rest" album?

Because far less people have heard rest?

Even I haven't heard the (full) album, and I put Isolee in my techno/house POV of the decade.

"we are monster" is a better record!

Mylo's album is 21 and kittens and thee glitz is 73?? more than 50 behind....

wow that's an odd choice.

Scuba/SCB is just delicious.

Dude was doing absolutely nothing for me circa Mutual Antipathy, but at this point, he's making shit happen.

$10 says they're going to do an outrageous 200th podcast for April fool's day, the question is what would this be.

Podcast 200 = Carl Craig! Downloading now...

Well I was wrong...

It's ok but I can't help thinking that a lot of these once great Detroit DJ's have disappeared down this bland tech-house cul-de-sac. Stacey Pullen's recent LWE podcast was incredibly dull for example.

Is this what happens to DJ's who play out, week in week out?

Dance music is prone to hyperbole, but you'd be hard-pressed to come up with anything but words like "legend," "titan" and "giant" when describing Carl Craig's impact on the electronic scene. Producer, remixer, label boss, DJ, the list goes on and on.

feel like this entire paragraph should be inside inverted commas inside this paragraph.

I can't help thinking that a lot of these once great Detroit DJ's have disappeared down this bland tech-house cul-de-sa

e.g. the hella boring D25 party at WMC, totally phoned in

not that i don't still try to track down just about every new CC remix...

carl craig has become pretty formulaic in his remixes these days, but there still pretty damned good imho. i really like his recent rmx of hot chip.

still haven't had a chance to listen to the podcast, but the DJ sets i've heard from carl craig have been very good, if not great.

cap'n save-a-craig

*they're

also the chez damier re-issue is essential!

Scuba/SCB is just delicious.

God, yes. Gorgeous. Listening to his mnml ssgs mix next.

Nicolas Jaar: Jaw dropped.

love the track at 24 mins or so on Fred P's new RA podcast (as these things usually seem to happen its one of the unidentified tracks)

oh man, i am really loving Fred P's mix

man I feel sorry for anybody who doesn't subscribe to the RA podcast. reliably the best damn thing going. at its very worst it's still an interesting listen; at its best, it's mindblowing.

also,

otm x infinity. unbelievable stuff.

Just got around to listening to the Magda one - daaaaamn it's great, and very unexpected (granted I haven't kept up w/ her for the last few years). RA's running as good a hit/miss ratio now as anytime in the past, if not better.

I posted about this here

What is Magda like?

Though I get the feeling if you like this mix. you probably don't like what she normally plays and if you like what she normally plays, you don't like this mix.

any recommendations for other post punk/ micro mixes??

anyone??

Bueller?

the brothers bouaziz one is fucking AWESOME.

^ will have to check this out.

really really dug the harri & domenic one from a few weeks back, anyone who dug the recent mark e beats in space should check it out asap

harri is a dude

is it just me or do these keep getting better and better? harri & domenic, shed, superpitcher, soul clap, scott grooves, and now effing alan howarth playing spooky synthy-soundtrack stuff... <3<3<3

shed's was the f'ing bomb

holy shit - alan howarth!!

space dimension controller on the poddy this week. got a lot of time for this guy right now.

Yeah, this is great. Dude is only 19 too.

i know that outfit is supposed to be a joke but he really looks like a tool

Dude is only 19 too. x-post to vahid!

Agreed, although it's really just the chin piercing that bothers me.

RA Exchange is just a recorded interview, with apropos song clips piped in. I listened to the Adam Marshall one and enjoyed it quite a bit, but that's probably just because I'm Toronto-bred.

Also 19!

he is from belfast too...

The new ASC mix is very smooth (perhaps a little too smooth in places). But good to see d&b being taken in interesting directions for once.

Yes the ASC is nice. What is the film sample at the end? I don't rate it as highly as some of the Autonomic podcasts. To be fair they were often more varied.

so refreshing to hear dope dnb in 2010

that alan howarth mix was a+

wanted to get that out there

nicolas jaar is 19 years old

Nicolas Jaar: I was a Teenage Villalobos

^^ what I call the imaginary thread on him I've never started yet.

Easily my favorite and most listened to music of the year. Not just the podcast, everything.

Jaar is 20, btw. his new album is...um...well, i really love it a lot.

i'd post my review here, but i don't think i should since i just finished it a few hours ago.

i only heard nicolas jaar for the first time on thu, and i'm basically blown away.

this guy's so great. hoping i can get a ticket on the door when he plays in shoreditch in a couple of weeks
