the supermayer losoul thing is just too good

cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 5 January 2006 10:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Not to mention the superb Alter Ego remix on the other side with the clangy/steamy noises - I prefer it to the Supermayer one.

Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 11:29 (eighteen years ago) link

A (new) Mikkel Metal album, great!

willem -- (willem), Thursday, 5 January 2006 11:51 (eighteen years ago) link

thirded that the brain of glass remix thing is awesome...both sides but i think the alter ego just about shades it

ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 5 January 2006 12:07 (eighteen years ago) link

also, gone on a spree recently:

loving the uber trancey new eulberg on traum, his kids-tv-show-in-koln new one on platzhirsch, and speicher 32 is wicked too? not sure which is the barsch and whioch the dahlback but im really getting back into buying tunes, and i excited! now all i need is somewhere to dance to it outside of my bedroom!

ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 5 January 2006 12:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Promote another night! (just kidding)

Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 13:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Or then again, maybe you should.

Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 13:50 (eighteen years ago) link

anything good coming up in leeds, ambrose?

(sorry, just presuming you're still there. a friend's just moved to leeds so I want to visit.)

cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 5 January 2006 14:14 (eighteen years ago) link

funy you should say that, i was thinking this lunchtime about getting a 1000 loan, then booking villalobos and mayer to do a big blow out show at some big club or other here (sheffield), and losing the whole lot and wondering why im such a prat, or exulting in the glorious success of having loads of people loving it and maybe even breaking even.... been listening to that green and blue mix, and thinking....geez, loads of people over there like it (eg crowd noise), so why not here?

as for leeds, i think it blew itself up last bonfire night with rex the dog, tomas anderson, trentemoller and chloe all on the same day (with nathan fake and james holden either side of that weekend)

oops, turns out craig richards and magda are playing technique on feb 4th. its a horrible place, but still. ken ishii and dmx krew (?!) playing night before at superconductor. thats in a good place instead.
might be worth checking basics, asylum and darkside line ups as well, as stuff sort of comes on occasionally.

generally there is a glut of nights, with insane competition between them, i have no idea why.

ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 5 January 2006 14:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Brighton has been fairly quiet lately, and even when decent names have come down, e.g. Craig Richards, they've been half empty. It seems all we want to do is sit in our newly extended licensed pubs and drink ourselves silly rather than going dancing these days.

Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:20 (eighteen years ago) link

students aint back innit

ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 5 January 2006 17:00 (eighteen years ago) link

prupp, Wednesday, 11 January 2006 10:39 (eighteen years ago) link

It's pretty nice, quiet Underworld-like...

Ben (crispyben), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 13:34 (eighteen years ago) link

cozen, i know im reppin maybe a bit too hard for eulberg, but if i could, i would go if i were you. purely on the strength of his last 12" for Traum, Eine kleine Schmetterlings-Hommage. its absolutely pure brutal bliss, one side is almost straight up trance in a way, and the whole thing is woozey and euphoric and grinding and every other word i always use to describe anything like this which is why im not a journalist. but buy that, and go to see him.
heres the link to the tunes

ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 13:47 (eighteen years ago) link

man.. he played here in glasgow last month (gabriel ananda too) and I didn't go cos I'm miserable! stupid, considering kreucht & fleucht is probably my favourite / most listened to mix from last year. booked my tickets for leeds tho; will take in magda and see who else is around tht weekend (3-6 feb);

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 13:56 (eighteen years ago) link

if you get bored at technique or tired of the clientele, come and join crusties/kevs/d'n'b student people at the west indian for DMZ - dont know if you like dubstep or not so thats prob not a particularly hot recommendation.

either way, you should probably end up at kadahs by the corn exchange for mint tea c.5/6 am.

eulberg and ananda! ananda was playing at fabric on NYE but we were otherwise engaged. dont look gifthorses in the mouth!

ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 16:15 (eighteen years ago) link

Wow, those Eulberg track snippets do sound great. So is Flora and Fauna any good (I realize this question is about 1.5 years late)?

matt2 (matt2), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 17:04 (eighteen years ago) link

its not as good as his singles i dont think. its a bit too....techy. geez i dont know what i want to say. but it doesnt grab me, or didnt the last time i listened to it. having saidf that, everytime i listen to i change my mind, as per gabriel ananda's album.

ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 17:40 (eighteen years ago) link

That's kinda how I feel about Kosi Comes Around. Sometimes I love it and sometimes it doesn't grab me whatsoever. So I understand.

matt2 (matt2), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 17:53 (eighteen years ago) link

That Eulberg track is quality yeah. One side Mayerish tech-house, the other that crazy burbling thing.

I thought it was crap on my first listen but really got into it in the end.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 20:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I like Eulberg's own stuff (haven't heard his new Traum single but) but I think I really love him as a remixer, half the fun is in the relationship b/w the original track and what he does with it. I love how his remixes manage to simultaneously sound like:

a) the original
b) Eulberg
c) something you've never ever heard before

Really been into the "Issst" remix lately, love the way it gets more and more syncopated and then it's like something breaks in the track and it becomes full on breakbeat house.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 22:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i love dominik eulberg. i think flora and fauna is great. (esp. the slower ambient stuff at the end.) i dont know how to put this exactly, but i think alot of his stuff has two tricks that are as good, or better than any artist(that ive heard, admittedly limited) making techno/house. his tracks always have a propulsion to them that would be wonderful in and of itself. usually halfway through the track though, he busts its pinata and lets the trancey goodness flow forth.

does anybody have a higher batting average? he seems to consistently put out great stuff.

cheshire05, Thursday, 12 January 2006 00:34 (eighteen years ago) link

speaking of remixes, and of the ewan pearson mix (although that was on dissensus), the dominik eulberg mix of the tune on my best friend is really really good. is the original by largo or someone?

ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Eine kleine Schmetterlings-Hommage

Thanks for mentioning this, it's great!

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 11:36 (eighteen years ago) link

he's excellent. very hard and sort of alive, and he played "voyager" when I saw him.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 11:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Guys, if it was up to me, I’d love to have you around, but I don’t think the missus would understand. However...

It does go on from midnight until 5am, with the option of staying open later if it is still busy. If it does close there are now a number of other bars and clubs in Brighton which stay open until later, and from then it is a simple matter of sleeping on the train/coach/plane/whatever. One of the bars is starting a 'minimal' session every Saturday from next month which goes from 3am until midday. Thank the lord for Tony Binge Blair.

Here is part of the press release, which explains about Koze’s DJ style. I’ve also heard him described as “acapellas over minimal”.

DJ KOZE:
Currently Germany's biggest DJ (voted DJ of the year for the last five years in the highly respected SPEX magazine), DJ Koze is without doubt the most formidably talented exponent of minimal turntablism in existence right now. A former runner up in the World DMC Mixing Championships, his jaw-dropping deck skills are in constant demand the world over. Renowned for his wildly eclectic, club-shattering musical selection, you're as likely to hear him spin the Beatles and Otis Redding as you are Plastikman, all tied together with blisteringly on-point technical skill. He's released a string of hit club records on Kompakt, including last year's acclaimed 'Kosi Comes Around' LP, and is also a member of Skint Records' hugely popular electro-disco act International Pony. As if that wasn't enough, he's also behind the chart-topping German Hip-Hop trio Fischbein. We await his debut Kliks performance with baited breath...

THE MODERNIST - live:
An undisputed legend of European dance music, Jorg Burger (aka The Modernist) started releasing records way back in 1988 with his long-time partner, Wolfgang Voigt (aka Mike Ink, founder of Kompakt). Over the next decade, the pair assaulted the world's dancefloors with a bewilderingly prolific surge of classic records, combining the raw intensity of early Detroit techno with their own unique brand of distinctly European, acidic trippiness. Under a plethora of aliases (including The Bionaut, Burger Industries, Autobianchi, and currently, Triola, plus many more) he pretty much defined what is now known as 'minimal', and is cited as the key influence by countless contemporary producers and DJs. Along with Voigt, he founded the Delirium record store in Cologne, which went on to form the basis of the Kompakt empire, as well as editing Dance Attack Magazine and releasing a bona fide mainstream smash LP on EMI (The Bionaut's 'Lush Life Electronica'). Burger's rich, timeless, elegant sound has yet to be surpassed by any of today's laptop generation, and his super-rare live performances have now reached near-mythical status. Don't miss the chance to catch a genuine pioneer in action.

LEE SMITH:
Co-founder of Kliks and original Brighton minimalist Lee Smith has been spotted face down in numerous ditches across Europe this year. Somehow, he always manages to rock the dancefloor and cobble together a coherent minimal reviews page for IDJ magazine, which you'll know is quite an achievement if you've ever seen him on a night out. He writes for loads of sites and music rags and is one of only four UK DJs to have played at Kompakt's seminal Total Confusion club in Cologne. He'll DJ for anyone who offers him a footlong Subway Sandwich and a couple of cans of Tennants.

ok!

i hope 3-12 clubbing catches on, ive never seen that kind of thing work outside of berlin

Yawn (Wintermute), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 12:09 (eighteen years ago) link

At the moment, from what I've heard, the handfull of places doing these late session seem to be staying busy, but Brighton has always had a bit of a reputation for after-parties. I have only stayed out till 6am a couple of times (hey, I am getting old!) since the licensing laws came in, but they clubs open were still busy at that point. I'm probably going on a few late ones over the next couple of weeks, so I'll give some updates.

Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 12:20 (eighteen years ago) link

hey this sounds good. i'll putit in the diary but feb is already looking v packed and brighton is a v long way away from me now...

why must the handful of nights in the uk that promote this stuff have no coordination at all it seems!!!! someone gets flown over for kliks, then goes home, someone else comes over for technique in leeds, then goes home. surely it is logical for these people to stay and play a few dates? i bet no one else has booked koze to play anywhere...nearer me for instance, around the time hes here. can anyone prove me wrong?

ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 17:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, I've just checked on the Kompakt site, and it says Koze is playing at the Arches in Glasgow on the 10th March, so maybe they have organised it sensibly for once.

RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 20 January 2006 13:29 (eighteen years ago) link

hes playing london on 6th too, at switch! maybe hes come over for a holiday.

of course, truly sensibly would mean "somewhere where i dont have to travel 1hr+ to see him", in my world.... ;)

ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 20 January 2006 16:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Superpitcher is on the new Westbam single "It's not easy," althought I don't know if he's doing anything more than singing the vocals. Decent piano house though.
