commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

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.

The Alex Smoke is good yeah! I really like the early downtempo track with female vocals and the junglistic bass hits.

The Efdemin is the best by miles and miles...brilliant mix.

Deadbeat! My goodness, now you've done it resident advisor! I can't wait to listen to this.

btw, Mehlt, I've listened to your Frank Booth mix about 8 times at work, and it's terrific. That track with the pitched down voice talking about (erm, looking for Suzie or something - sorry, don't have it in front of me) is brilliant As is that Ewan Pearson remix towards the end. Thanks!

Wow, thanks a lot! (That track is "Lady Judy" by Fuckpony by the way)Glad you like it.

the deadbeat's great

prins thomas downloading right now. looks like it's a long one!

HA! Earlier today, bored in class or whatever I was thinking about Prins Thomas, and how I saw him like 3 and a half weeks ago, and how interesting it would be to get a recorded version of that set. Today, I check resident advisor, BAM! it's that very set.

It's a good one by the way.

yeah. i love how live it is, with the cheering and all

Oh God, you actually hear that asshole that was next to me yelling "Boh Boh Boh" Which is like the third time at that bar I've been forced to endure his Junglist hootings and hollerings which generally last the entire time.

fuck that guy

A bit of a quiet achiever podcast for me has been Dan Curtin's. His set and Luciano's Siloclub set really sum up the 2007 deep-house-from-minimal vibe for me.

The Brendon Moeller is excellent. Between that and that other mix of his recently released on the internet, the man is a very very good DJ.

that maurice fulton was good getting down music XD

Did any other RA mix come close to Dixon's this year? If so, spill.

My favourites were Dixon, Sebo K and Dan Curtin. All three of them then released inferior official mix-cds (although the Dixon especially is worth getting if you're not familiar with the amazing alternate tracks used - Chromatics' "In The City", the Henrik Schwarz remix of "Vuoi Vuoi Me" and the Stefan Goldmann remix of IT's "Women In Toilet")

really feeling this Brendon Moeller one. Underworld (080) is on the site but not iTunes yet, that'll be interesting once it comes through.

god dixon is shit.

Ha ha I bought that second hand! Yeah it's not very good for the most part. But that doesn't change how good is RA set is!

I got a promo of that when it came out. I was very amused by the press release, which detailed how the mix was officially sanctioned by yoga centers to be played during Yoga classes, and how the music complements the shapes your body makes, etc.

complements a squatting posture nicely

Trickski
Freund (woah)
Juan Maclean (lots of smiles)
JD Twitch (just heard this on the commute back home - the way Satellite of Love comes in after Blind!!)

Phenomenal.

Juzu presents Lugar Precioso - Drum De Fuego (Joaquin Joe Clausell mix) - Sacred Rhythm Music

the tobias freund was one of the weirdest ones i've heard. kinda great, but super fucking weird.

also, if anyone is interested, a lot of these are available on Hypnotic Breaks. pretty sure they don't take them down, so if ya missed one, there ya go.

Change xx to tt

16. Hercules & Love Affair - Blind (Club mix) - DFA Records

And featuring Antony Hegarty on vocals. This is a bit bloody fantastic, isn't it? Definitely my favourite RA podcast to date, but I've only been subscribed a couple of months.

I'd never heard of Trickski, and didn't know what to expect, but it's great. The first 25 mins or so, up until where he loops Marvin Gaye and it speeds up is fab.

I'd like to hear more mixes at that tempo (about 105bpm?). It reminds me of all those Quiet Village remixes (esp that Gorrillaz bootleg).

Like the Tobias Freund one as well. Haven't heard the Optimo yet, but looks great.

I stupidly deleted the Dixon one earlier in the year, but they put it up again as one of their best of the year and I've been listening to it loads. I don't know why I didn't take to it before. Having got some of the tracks in the meantime (esp Alice Smith) helps. I'd second Kevin John Bozelka's request from the thread on it for more mixes like this.

mike, you gotta hear the frankie knuckles mix

jamie, the marvin gaye bit is trusme - w.a.r. i think

Lindstrom - The Contemporary Fix (EYE mix) - Smalltown Supersound

i'm surprised this hasn't gotten more love, I think it's one of eye's best remixes

jamie, the marvin gaye bit is trusme - w.a.r. i think

Thanks.

I actually just checked the tracklist and you're right. (It also starts with a Quiet Village remix, which makes my comment above sound stupid, but I didn't know that one!)

OMG I had no idea there was a Twitch podcast! Will get onto this tonight.

Cheers for that, Macallan!

It reminds me of all those Quiet Village remixes (esp that Gorrillaz bootleg).

bootleg ?

totally official. included on the recent D-sides comp. or is this a different remix ?
