BASIC CHANNEL: Basic Channel 2 CD (BCD 002CD) 17.00
The first CD compilation of Basic Channel releases from 1995 became one of the quintessential electronic music compilations of all time. Now, in a total surprise move, a companion CD, Basic Channel 2, has been released -- featuring full-length versions of six of the label's landmark club tracks released on vinyl between 1993 and 1995. From today's perspective, you can see and hear much of the later Rhythm & Sound style, with its echo-heavy atmospheric density, already laid out to perfection here. Basic Channel is the minimal techno production team and record label, composed of Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus, that originated in Berlin, Germany in 1993. They released a classic series of 9 iconic 12" records in the mid-'90s, and this CD compilation of material is taken from those 12"s. Featured here, on CD for the first time, are some of the most legendary electronic music tracks of all time: "Enforcement," "Phylyps Trak," "Inversion," "Octagon," "Octaedre," and "Phylyps Trak II/II." Stylistically, Basic Channel creates their own sub-genre of Detroit techno; slowly developing pulsations and abstractions with a heavy emphasis on post-dub processed crackles, blips and hiss -- the word "seminal" was invented for moments just like this.

Please just do a complete set of full-length BC 12"s and the Basic Reshape tracks on CDs.

you can download the complete BC 12" discog from Other Music, etc.

anyone know much about the moritz van oswald trio?

just picked up the main street comp, completely brilliant and I dont know how ive managed to be a BC fan for so long and managed to miss it. I was kind of hoping it would all be fruity garage numbers but the whole package slays

anticipating the Moritz von Oswald Trio

xp: aye. for more Fruity Von Owswald numbers, check his collaborations with Blake Baxter

the A2 and B3 on the new demdike stare album sample from "biokinetics" and "hongkong"

anybody heard this yet?

For lack of a better place to put this:

Type records has reissued the Porter Ricks s/t on vinyl, to be on CD shortly. I was trying to not buy any new vinyl early this year, but this is selling out fast :/

It's nowhere near as good as Biokinetics if that helps!

S/T essential for "spoiled" at least

I may have confused it with Biokinetics! You are correct.

I had a double point of confusion: it is Biokinetics that is reissued. Which is good.

is there a legit place to PURCHASE the full length tunes from BC and M-series in a lossless file format? Hardwax doesnt f/w selling digital files, afaict (wouldn't necessarily expect them too anyway, to some extent.
the files i see elsewhere at boomkat and such,.. I am concerned they are all from needledrops or something equally dubious.

(((not super interested in getting into strawman debates with real techno headz about *format* but i'd give it a go)))

hardwax DOES sell digital

click "show downloads"

oh shi

Oh wow thank u, mh!!

no download of lyot, wonder why ... does tresor have rights to that one?

remembered I have the "arrange and process" mix on my phone. it is still the best thing.

otm, that comp is what made me realize that this stuff is best heard mixed

that comp never really clicked with me, had the same issues with it that i did w/ hawtin's decks fx 909 mixes ... not bad per se, but a bit bland compared to the originals

the originals are just such monoliths, the seamless ableton mixing kind of digests them down into much mushier fare

yeah but it plays like three of them at once and it's like a swirling intenseness

i enjoy the mix and the monoliths. the individual tracks are what got me into basic channel, though

monoliths?

just using tlg's lingo

sometimes i just gotta soak my brain in this

new porter ricks is good

Fluxion's "Vibrant Forms III" sounds exactly like I and II, listening to it is like being stuck in a time warp where the clock never strikes Jan 1, 2001.

no metal box no credibility.

lol. i remember seeing those in shops and snootily dismissing them. who on earth would buy a COMPACT DISC of such music

My Maurizio metal box rusted and warped, cracking the cd center :( Luckily I managed to digitize the thing.

Would definitely watch this film

I screamed reading the entire thing. The main villian in the story is someone who goes by the online username “aphextriplet85”

I couldn't resist

omgggg

ha amazing

Yes, I enjoy a good "dub techno" track every now and then.

I consider Yagya to be dub techno’s version of, like, Tycho or someone, but I listened to the Rhythm of Snow the other day and its soothing qualities appealed to me.
