house/techno bobbins 2012

no, i mean, i get that its a label with songs, i like a lot of them, but the way people talk about it leads me to think that it is something extra-musical which they don't like about hot creations

I don't get it either. Maybe it sounds better at a rooftop party in LA or poolside in Miami? The plodding house beats, grating vocals and corny R&B samples. All I know is to AVOID Hot Creations/Hot Natured nights in London LIKE THE PLAGUE. Topless, sweaty 17 yr olds in sunglasses pushing on the dance floor.. no thanks.

Maybe it sounds better at a rooftop party in LA or poolside in Miami

i love it because it sounds exactly like a rooftop party in LA or poolside in miami

ah, okay, well, i live in FL so i'm more inclined to associate poolside miami with the hot creations sound than sweaty 17yo londoners

Topless, sweaty 17 yr olds in sunglasses pushing on the dance floor

this sounded awesome until it dawned on me that you were probably talking about guys

it makes me want to go to more hot creations nights in london, certainly

lol

xp

I just got the first Hinge Finger from Madteo: http://www.discogs.com/Madteo-Bugler-Gold-Pt1/release/3269305 it's a well nice slab of odd ball house.

Looking forward to this too.

i would absolutely go to a hot creations night in london for reasons that have only partly to do with shirtless guys

My experience with sweaty 17y/o Londoners has been more tedious and gross than anything else. Makes sense, since Hot Creations, Wolf and Lamb, et al make tedious and awful music that's by and large to be avoided like the plague, shirtless guys or no.

But that's just me.

it makes me want to go to more hot creations nights in london, certainly

just....don't. i love all the music but seriously when people talk negatively about the 'hot creations thing' this is probably what they are talking about. so much aggro.

oh and dance music snobbery i guess

the lary crowds combined with the shit 'TBC' venues, promoters knowingly overselling said shit venues two, three times over capacity and getting old i imagine means in 2012 i will be choosing my london nights out p selectively

has anyone heard some of the wolf + lamb mixes where they get on the mic? in theory i'm all for a bit of innovation in the dj box but it is incredibly cringey, sounds like a bad teen disco in suburban dublin when he's roaring "when the beat drops, i wanna see how low y'all can go!!" - albeit with jesse pinkman accents.

Well I didn't mean to open a can of worms about this re:'the hot creations thing' - I should have said sound rather than thing, wasn't really referring to anything else. I find their sound a bit cold is all!

I just bought a marcus mixx record! although it wasn't that one

jesse pinkman accents!!

the talking on the mic is 100% them trolling listeners like ronan imo

i haven't heard the mixes where they talk over it, when i saw soul clap there was no mic action and it was a pretty chill crowd

this hot creations/crosstown rebels sound was pretty refreshing when it first came out. "l word", "forward motion", "without you" are aces. but then they keep retreading the formula to the point that it became boring and predictable. I can't stand Maceo Plex.

I can't wait for the inevitable curation of Hot Creations because it will be one disc of great post-minimal vocal house and it will be all I need.

from this scene I mean, not by itself alone.

im very tempted to start a separate s/d thread but i really really love everything ive heard on the life + death label partic the pillowtalk ep from late last year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESHsqWl4A_c&feature=related

anyone have suggestions/thoughts??

i like both pillowtalk eps, probably like the one on w+l even more than that ^ one tho. what else is on that label?

i think what hot creations is doing has a lot more in common with azari & iii style vocal house revivalism than anything else, and i love it - even tho yes it can be somewhat formulaic

theres a dOP 12" 'after party' that i really vibe and a bunch of remixes by ppl that i vaguely recognize. they arent updating their website which is p lol but they only have four 'official' releases

the talking on the mic is 100% them trolling listeners like ronan imo

listeners like who? what's a listener like me? might want to update your ilm filofax.

also love this, it's like "you've fallen completely into their trap"...OR maybe there's no problem with speaking on the mic, they just say really stupid cringey shit.

lol trolled

haha

;-)

honestly i only ever heard them do it on their BiS broadcast, where they openly stated "people keep calling in asking for us to stop talking... so we're gonna talk more!"

i think we talked abt this before tho

'jesse pinkman accents'

worst one is actually soul clap

http://soundcloud.com/r_co/soul-clap-la-boum-de-luxe-22-1

39.30...it's just fucking awful. i had no prob with the BIS set.

doesn't help that the song is dire too.

x-post he actually does sound like jesse pinkman here imo.

The original mix of "Soft" is a good pop song. But that Life & Death remix sounds just like every other Tale of Us remix.

dunno what year these two tracks are from but really like both, no idea what they are tho

wellll you say that like its a bad thing!!

well too much of a good thing is not good, bro. I mean, I enjoy all of tale of us previous remixes but when I heard this track, I thought, oh not this bass sound again.

I've been trying to find out some ID's from this mix. Maybe someone could help me here? This is one of my favorite mixes in 2011.

http://mnmlssg.blogspot.com/2011/08/ssg-special-john-osborn-panorama-bar.html

The tracks that need ID-ing:
@ 06:00
@ 19:00
@ 25:00
@ 30:00
@ 32:00 (wow!)
@ 36:00
@ 43:00
@ 48:00
@ 89:00

whoa that's a lot.

yea... was going to say, i dig most of what i've heard from tale of us. i get the impression that i value aesthetic consistency more than other ppl itt based on this and other comments re: hot creations

didn't really pay this one much attention until the ra eoy poll but it's excellent (also turns out it's on life and death. i will now pay attention to this label)

^ benefits from using a similar vocal style to art department but not falling prey to using the same damn cadence over and over again like that dude tends to do

the seth troxler edit of that track is sick

maybe you guys heard this already but this is sick:

04:13 is to die for

<3 sandwell district (label and artist)
