the optimum release that's really whoa was his debut on planet mu - max power/crash riddim/lily - all so confident and effective. his new track in that ikonika mix i posted this morning is really awesome too.

i like most of the releases i've heard on pattern though never noticed it as a label before now.
i can't get into lone's stuff at all :/
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 16:31 (twelve years ago) link
I love Lone, although any record with a tune called Petrcane Beach Track is pretty much bound to appeal to me.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 16:33 (twelve years ago) link
PTN is pretty sweet yeah. Breach, Hypno, DJ Dom, T.Williams are all ace. The Hackman and Doc Daneeka 12"s are good too but not quite the same level for me. I love Ramp and Brainmath too, they've got to many good labels that lot.

Wonder if T.Williams will have a release on Night Slugs, he's on the comp but it's with L-Vis 1990 and he's a massive weak link in the roster as a producer, quality DJ/label guy though.
I've been suprised how quite Night Slugs have been this year, we're almost half way through and only had an album and one white label from Pearson Sound it feels like they've slowed down a lot.

I guess there'll be the Jam City album at some point this year. Possibly something from Kingdom too
― Number None, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
i know bok bok felt he wanted to devote a bit of time to his own productions by the end of last year.
i think t.williams is a fucking great producer - "heartbeat" is one of the pinnacles of everything happening around the scene
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
oh i guess you meant l-vis was the weak link tho, misread!
Yeah I <3 T.WIlliams he's amazing.
― jimitheexploder, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
I think Jacques Greene and flopson should rename themselves Jacques Greene in MTL and flopson in MTL, respectively. Then people will know they're from Montreal. (Although tbh, I thought flopson was from either Edmonton or Calgary, whichever one rennavate isn't from.)

Right now, I really want a T-shirt that says "Ikonika SUMMER MIX!!!"

I thought Lone were just another Boards of Canada soundalike - am I wrong?
― Evil Eau (dog latin), Wednesday, 11 May 2011 09:53 (twelve years ago) link
He's like a dancier BOC basically
― Number None, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 10:10 (twelve years ago) link
Lone is closer to the Black Dog than Boards of Canada, everything I've heard isn't really like the latter at all.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:13 (twelve years ago) link
Well his first album was basically a BOC homage - hip-hop drums pared with analog synths. The recent stuff has the same nostalgic vibe but with more of a 90's techno underpinning.
― Number None, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:20 (twelve years ago) link
I must have the first album as I'd filed him next to Freescha. So I might need to check this out. Never really got into the Black Dog but am a massive fan of Plaid, so...
― Evil Eau (dog latin), Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:30 (twelve years ago) link
Lone's latest album is more in the B12/Stasis/As One/Likeminded vein of 90s UK "intelligent" techno as Vahid alluded to back thread, and well worth checking out
― Snámh dá Én (missingNO), Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:35 (twelve years ago) link
i say "latest" but I think it came out last year. didn't get around to checking his latest thing on R & S but samples sound pretty great, rave stabs and samples and floaty pads and bleeps
― Snámh dá Én (missingNO), Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:41 (twelve years ago) link
also i think he shares his name with a beloved ilxor who's sadly been rather quiet of late

This could stand in as a description for basically any UK-based producer's releases in the past 12 months.

Yes, MTL is a small place for a city of 3 million. (Well, 1.5 million in the city proper.) Even smaller when limited by age and music-scene.

On topic, the Ikonika mix is lovely.

also his name is not jacques greene

Oh, well, yeah. But talking about Ph1l via his real life name seems a bit rude. He went to such lengths initially to be all mysterious about it, distinguish it from his old moniker, etc. etc.

I mean, we refer to The-Dream as Terius for lolz but it's not like we go around talking about Tremaine Neverson or Sara Abdel-Hamid's Summer Mix or whatever.

"pr812" is the track that made me go whoa in the mix but i think "i make lists" might be even better, proper freestyle influence - love the way the mix closes with it after opening with debbie deb
― lex pretend, Thursday, 12 May 2011 12:54 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah there's a new NS ep on the way - probably their grimiest release yet

There's also a white label of Kingdom's Ciara/Girl Unit mashup (which isn't great tbh) with "Fogs" on the flip.

This Ikonika mix is a lot better than these sorts of mixes usually are, second half especially. What's the insane ravey one 10mins from the end?
I feel like the world has moved on since the Night Slugs wars of 2010 but if this is the direction the genre's taking in 2011 I'll be happy. Still not mad keen on the fallback metallic bass noise they seemingly use all the time though.
― Matt DC, Friday, 13 May 2011 19:01 (twelve years ago) link

at ~21mins? i asked her, that's the optimum track

how would you say it compares to the 20th april marcus set matt? choose your words wisely now.

This is where the Lone chat was...
http://wigflex.com/2011/05/12/lone-flex/
He's got another ravey one coming out on Wigflex it sounds pretty sweet.
The Ikonika mix is damn good, her mixes usualy are. The last one I heard of her's was: http://www.factmag.com/2010/11/29/fact-mix-206-ikonika/ which is on a par with it I'd say.
I enjoyed that Marcus set too its not an either/or thing for me. Although I like Petchy, Ill Blu, Funkystepz, Champion, etc loads better for my funky mixes. Marcus has been so shit at mixing when I've seen him live that I hardly tune in anymore to his show unless a load of people have been bigging up a recent one or something.

The first 20mins or so of the Marcus mix is great but I was listening before the Cup Final and stopped at kickoff, then forgot to go back to it. It's more fun than the Ikonika mix obv.
― Matt DC, Monday, 16 May 2011 13:34 (twelve years ago) link
The first 20 min is probably the weakest! (relatively)
