I know it's an idiotic request. Nearly every trap/bass/whatever video ever is either shot just in front of a garage or in a kitchen. All I remember is that someone was wearing a gas mask. Not much to go on...
Kevin Martin live for me. The Bug at a pre-Notting Hill Carnival bass party was one of the heaviest things I've seen all year with new MC Miss Red to add to Daddy Freddy and Flowdan. And then King Midas Sound at Corsica, probably even better.

why zing 'quietus' when you can zing misplaced modifiers.

Reading the Dope Jams rundown of the year reminded me of the talk about the Andres track up thread.

they're right about most of those records but jeez dope jams schtick is irritating - those are some easy targets, everyone knows carl craig went to shit years ago, just pointless

i kinda like the joe claussell but then i got no problem with elevator music
― suare, Wednesday, 2 January 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i dig me some elevator music, that rundown is positively pipecockian minus the drexciya shrug, or maybe plus the drexciya shrug, the math is a little complicated.
― Tome Cruise (Matt P), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 19:12 (eleven years ago) link
idg what is good techno if drexciya isn't

as far as carl craig goes, people get old i guess? the 'use me again' remix is kind of nuts imo.
i imagine the staff at dope jams is also aging.
― Tome Cruise (Matt P), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 19:21 (eleven years ago) link
one time when i went there the only staffperson in the place was napping on the couch, so

I was going to defend that Earth Beats remix but then I remembered it's the Magazine remix I really like.

and it's only just come out but maya jane coles' easier to hide ep might be my favourite thing she's done since "what they say"

is this something of a change in direction or am i uninformed

Another big favourite of mine from last year that appeared nowhere in EOY lists, and, in fact, I never heard about once outside of ILM, is this piece of synthpop perfection:

I noticed a lot of folk digging Silent Servant's Negative Fascination. One of the leanest techno albums of the year, great album.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Thursday, 10 January 2013 09:11 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it's cool. was listening to that and Morphosis on Spotify yesterday.
earlier this week Dope Jams sent out an email announcing they are closing, btw. (they will still keep an online store going apparently but the brooklyn brick and mortar shop is closing)

I made a mix of my 2012 favorites. There are some non-dance things in there but as it is well over 50% house music I figured I'll post it here

Josephine Foster - Child Of God (from "Blood Rushing" CD on Fire) *
Some of the tracks are stand-ins for albums. For example I like "Destiny" more than "Last Land" but that fit in the mix better and maybe fewer people have heard.
Francis Harris's "Leland" is probably my favorite house album after "fin" and woefully overlooked. And Susumu Yokota's album sunk without a trace. It wasn't even on Discogs.

i like the francis harris album, totally forgot about it until you just mentioned it. great morning music.

oh, i remember why i forgot about it now. vocals get too cloying.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 24 January 2013 16:35 (eleven years ago) link
True the vocals aren't very good. I skip those tracks. But the rest makes up for it. I'm generally finding that anything involving Greg Paulus (one half of No Regular Play) is well worth checking out.

GODFUCKINGDAMMIT howwww have i been missing out on this for so long
had no one else heard this either or are you all literally insane
― r|t|c, Friday, 15 February 2013 18:42 (eleven years ago) link
Not heard it before, and yes, wow.
― Tim F, Friday, 15 February 2013 20:54 (eleven years ago) link
From my POV its really rare to hear such a distinctive vocal w/that track, although my lazy ears just pick up her sound not what she says.
Like how it stops with a couple of mins left too.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 16 February 2013 11:07 (eleven years ago) link
yeah very striking isnt it, real proper marrow made flesh in a fraidy-cat zone where it's so often measly implied
if you dare check the original it's like some truly ghastly strictly for wankers inverted-commas tina turner thunderdome thing - this genius mix rightfully coronates her to spacequeen and creates a dark palace to prowl and skulk and brood in
