house/techno bobbins 2012

well this is actually from 2011 but i've only just discovered it and it's amazing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLRpIWrjc5s

The Mara Trax (vera & maayan nidam) ep Sensibilia finally coming out on Perlon next month

Preview of new Blaktroniks LP mad looking forward to this sounds great

http://soundcloud.com/blaktroniks/podcast111111blktrnks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueRVOTr1zbE last year but only just heard it (via Amanda Brown's fact mix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZBVBpCO_u8

any of u ilx ballers know this one?

yeah <3 that westbeech remix

@cashmere combabe, that's 'crayon box' by virgo 4. fucking ace.

this is from last year but i don't think i've seen it mentioned on ilx (maybe sandbox?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6Zz2mY8gR0

everything cottam does is good. the sounds just pop, spacious and dense at the same time, you just wanna drown in it (youtube doesn't do it justice.) kinda reminds me of terre thaemlitz at times.

that cottam tune is rad, i kinda like that new cliff richard mix too

can we talk about this here?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwS1hMqi4jk

cuz 2:50 is p O_O

nice, i hadn't heard the cliff richard mix

i'm kinda lukewarm on a lot of caribou's stuff from what i've heard, but that's pretty great.

― second only to popcorn (or something), Monday, January 9, 2012

Thanks, sorta surprised at that - wouldn't have guessed!

While we're on a roll what about this one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgfVJXFkb3M

that cottam track is realllly good

I know it's from last year but i only discovered Caribou's Virgo Four remix recently thanks to the RA poll and it's pretty brilliant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChKT_luDzBc

Massive!

new Todd Terje:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqp4P0rT4VA

that harmonic modification of melody during bridge is just awesome, this is going to be a big grower for me, I'm sure!

i'm sure this was talked about on sandboxx during the downtime, but Kompakt has a recording of a live TWELVE HOUR SET by Michael Mayer up on soundcloud. It took me 2 days but i listened to the whole thing and it is fucking incredible. hearing a single DJ go 12 hours in one sitting is a rare treat.

http://soundcloud.com/kompakt/sets/michael-mayer-total-12-megaset/

Some of the individual pages for each segment have track lists in the comments.

nice.

i'm liking the new terje ep a lot so far. he's definitely catering to the same folk who ate up "snooze 4 love" but i'm not sure that's a bad thing

I heard about that then completely forgot about it. Much appreciated, gr80!

the terje is marvellous

Yeah Terje is on fire right now, the two tracks I've heard from the EP are both lovely.

I did reasonably well at keeping up with bobbins last year but this thread always runs away from me so bookmarking now.

Any interest in supplementing this thread with a collaborative Spotify playlist?

I think "Inspector Norse" is better than anything for last year's EP, so immediate and full sounding - it seems so unfair that it's came out on the first fortnight of the year because I think it's going to stand tall over a lot of 2012. I don't massively care for the rest of the It's The Arps though, it's kinda boring?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieqlM_VY2U0

Yeah Its the Arps is great, don't agree that its retreading the same ground as snooze 4 love. maybe in sort of a melodic/ harmonic way, buts its palette and feeling is totally different. while snooze 4 love had a 90s ambient house feeling, the Arps, i guess down to its minimally treated dry ARP synth sounds is all like popcorn/ Wendy Carlos novelty dicopop.

I posted another track from this on the sandbox thread right before we switched back over, but i have really been feeling the new Linkwood. Someone pointed out the melodic figure was very close to Pepe Braddock's Deep Burnt...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsG8oFn2jgc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv0OO1rGn_U

holy shit @ this kompakt mix! or at least the first 19 mins

that linkwood track is great

and this is otm:

best part is how you can occasionally hear crowd noise-- in the last half hour he even has a damaged record/dusty needle/both on a song that he stops and restarts three times

It's like a low key cocktail party for you and Michael Mayer recorded it

wait till you get to pts 3 and 4

pt 5 is probably my favorite-- def the "classics" segment and i'm guessing somewhere around 3 or 4am.

i don't think that "inspector norse" is necessarily a retread of "snooze" but i think using the palette of analog synths as opposed to endearingly goofy pianos or accordions or w/e is informed by its success. the new/original productions on 'remaster of the universe' sorta hinted that he might start doing the whole wacky live band thing a whole lot more... i'm glad he decided against that.

not sure if he used analog or digi synths for "eurodans" but i guess that's also got some novelty discopop appeal too

looks like both bradock and linkwood sampled freddie hubbard's "little sunflower". i feel like the same sample is used a lot in hip hop too... tribe called quest's "the love" for sure, probably others too

so i guess dilla is ultimately responsible for it

Nice, i actually know the milt Jackson version of that song, but had no idea it was from that. i'm starting on the Mayer Marathon as well.. so far so enjoying it, made me check wether Pop Ambient 2012 was out yet. (february)

helpful to think that 0:00 of that mix is likely somewhere between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM and do the math from there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BVuFhs2ngk

i want to know what this is!

Stuff from the end of 2011 that caught my attention ... Morphosis Morphosis Morphosis !!! Too Far EP with the Dettmann mixes is immense intense clanging dubby funkiness -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEcLa_IWQmU

ARP 3 by Floating Points is best thing he has done so far and it's very house with some great cat noises buried deep in the mix which can make for a slightly confusing listen for cat owners such as myself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d38xbAFnCSQ

The Mike Huckaby SYNTH remixes of Sistol/Pole are absolutely wonderful too

Floating Points does a killer line in house/techno DJing, dig out his sets on Rinse with Kyle Hall and every time he appears on the Hessle Audio show and see for your self.

Anyway 2012 house yay!

DJ SOTOFETT - Pulehouse

http://shitfuckyou.com/audio/wania97a.mp3

Vibes.

Think of should go to one of FP's nights at plastic people one of these months... (is it selfish/gauche/RONG! of me to want him to just pump out nothing but house bangers like arp3 and vacuum boogie?)

That Sotofett is great. Expecting good things from the Sex Tags crew this year. Not exactly house I guess but I'm keen to get my hands on one of Rush Hour's James Mason reissues. Discogs prices have been crazy in the last few years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvc1FWjIwsI

When I've heard him play it's nowt but house jams, he's smooth as hell. Classics, odd ball funk, detroit business, just party house all night long. He's a killer DJ. Go see him man.

Oh mmmmm that sounds sweet. If that aint house I don't know what is.

thx for the tip on the james mason, it does sound p rad so far. tho from what i've heard that is def the housiest track

I want someone I know to throw a party where everyone gets really fucked up and they attempt to play that 12hr Mayer mix in its entirety.

that person could be you!

Xposts: Having seen FP dj before I know that much, I was talking about his productions.

Come on somebody, make the Spotify playlist already.

Or is that kind of self-defeating as approx 10% of the songs mentioned here will have made it to Spotify?

I don't know if this is the right thread to post this in but Jim-E Stack's new EP is kind of amazing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVGkj_g_Zq4

He's pretty fuck'd, we just had a mix/interview from him n'all.

http://www.sonicrouter.com/2012/01/sr-mix-115-jim-e-stack-good-years/

You should prob be here tbh: Rolling Dance Partisans 2012

it's all good though.

those are the dudes that did the sniffing glue song?

xp - no, the fudge fingas just got a proper release on 10 inch too. no digital yet though... ^ like that paranoid london track.

i think it's "eating glue"? idk much about the other release, i'd imagine it's also lo-fi acid house but without the awesome paris brightledge appearance

that glue song was awesome!!

Lol there's a weplayhouse 12 on discogs, someone trying to sell it for 500 and someone asking 1000

Sad really, a very average E.S.P. cover. Not very original. Retro bland.

is that the one that sounds like dolly parton?

so Erdbeerschnitzel has an album out. It's good if you like that thing he does

I do!

lot of the Driftwood stuff now on discogs for £100,£200+

xxp - not sure about Dolly Parton;
This is the one I think was being talked about..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQr2J9YgusI

The Driftwood stuff has always been a bit expensive but this mix was put on RA the other week.
http://soundcloud.com/cloutier/eric-cloutier-driftwood

I've always been a Timewriter fan though.

anyone watching boilerroom? this confirms prosumer is the current best house dj.

I'm rather behind but the new Legowelt album is start-to-finish fantastic.

xpost yeah it does sound a bit country and western to me. it's in that gerd panorama bar mix, pretty cool but given "it's you" is one of my all-time favourites it doesn't really do it. i can't get why people would pay so much as that's a record that you'll play once or twice and then never again, to me.

Prosumer really is the best, i nearly had a wee fit the other week when he dropped an m-series tune with a diva house tune on top for its entirity making an otherwise dreary night in hackney wick a bit magic (as long as i kept my eyes closed).

Whats the end of year feelings then? Ive not been DJing much this year so the compulsions to keep up has faded a bit. I do love a good december list frenzy, Ive been working in parties every weekend but theyve been of the tech house variety so pretty low on stand outs.

thanks for the recommend on From the Far Future 2, wasn't impressed initially but stuck with it and glad I did

Not seen mentioned here but Christian Löffler's A Forest is chock full of the accessible tech house Anders Trentemøller used to profer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSUhWosVxj4

Really enjoyed that album, it was a good substitute for a new Pantha Du Prince record.

Nicholas Desamory, "Move Your Assets": http://soundcloud.com/nicholas-bussmann/sets/nicholas-desamory-like-you-1. Lush house w/ great vocals.

I'm rather behind but the new Legowelt album is start-to-finish fantastic.

that would put me pretty far behind as well, but it really is quite solid. it may actually be his best release to date? not sure yet tbh

i'm just now catching up with the (surprisingly deep) 2012 l.i.e.s. catalog, 010.5 is an initial favorite:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijv9hQMUm_8

this wolfers project turned out pretty well too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTyZm9qr37A

oh nice was unaware of lafonte&bonquiqui

f'n finally: listen to the third track and thank me later http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/view/111157

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCHVQ75xjOc

phillipp boston - night chime

kind of on obvious one but its not been mentioned

Yeah, l.i.e.s is pretty ok ; )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y54_cBl9hqw

The question remains, how can I tolerate/enjoy Benoit and Sergio and loathe Hot Creations. I'm feeling inconsistent.

Benoit & Sergio have a much better sense of songcraft than a lot of their contemporaries.

Yeah, l.i.e.s is pretty ok ; )

ha, yea i feel weird talking about it on ilm cause there seems to be a lot of (in some cases very direct!) connections.hassan has some amazing cosmic vibes, btw, good work. you had to have a full band setup on those tracks, right?

does anyone know if delroy edwards is a real artist or a pseudonym? 4 club use only kills it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G18E-KhH37Q

delroy edwards is not his real name, he's a young guy and this is (i'm pretty sure) his first record.

new maya jane coles ep is SO GORGEOUS

https://soundcloud.com/mayajanecoles/sets/easier-to-hide-ep-i-am-me

The question remains, how can I tolerate/enjoy Benoit and Sergio and loathe Hot Creations

lol, this is the other way round for me. i still don't get why so many people really viscerally hate hot creations, they hit my sweet spot so often

Well first of all they took one of my favorite electro producers and turned him into Maceo Plex, which is not a slight I'll forgive easily.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAESPmextMA

I suppose they share some responsibility with Crosstown Rebels, but still, what happened?

When your nice polite IDM producer starts to hang out with Jamie Jones and Damian Lazarus: watch out kids.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCiDi3eSEYM

Been a long time since I've been excited by a new liebe detail release but hey, this is catchy enough for me.

Xxxpost thanks psychgawsple! Nope - HASSAN is just myself
and some synths / drum machines.

When your nice polite IDM producer starts to hang out with Jamie Jones and Damian Lazarus: watch out kids.

i think he got a big initial chunk of his fanbase recording under the maetrik moniker, seems like semi-generic if still technically impressive tech-house was definitely a gateway drug

What is the word on L.I.E.S.?

Shit I can't read.

The Forward Strategy Group is really good, all clanging, metallic textures against industrial dones - makes me think of Andy Stott's recent material but played at 45 instead of 33.

how did I just now notice this via a year-end list today? Sounds up my alley, going to listen when I get home

Somehow or other I accidentally posted this in the Gay thread (!), but, as I said there:

This is some sounds like B12 in 2012 absolutely WOW type shit right here (thanking u LWE end of year tracks list):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Q2sPleFtU

Whoops, I meant this mix:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80TlUX7ueTk

did they use the same percussion patterns here??

1999! That's Persuader's Vasastaden.

of course! was supposed to go on the ID thread but no one looks at that, and this thread isn't long for this world so why not

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NznWuduMhpg

and then this going back to my roots / changes of life sounding thin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igEulc4K90I

Damn, how have I missed that Paranoid London track for so long? Been telling everyone about it only for them all to say they know it already.

So is it just me or are these incredibly similar?
They are quite similar. (Just in case you've been waiting for somebody to respond)

is there any reason for the lack of lil louis digital/cd releases? it sucks when I want to listen the conversation and all i have is this low volume vinyl rip with nonexistent bass.
