DJ Koze has to be the biggest secret weapon in all of Techno. Dude is a honest-to-god genius. GENIUS

on it's way in the mail! anyone heard it yet?

heard good things about the Klimek album as well...

― willem -- (willem), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 11:11 (eighteen years ago) link

mm...

that should've been a picture of Speicher 35:
A - Superpitcher "Enzian"
B - Stardiver "Borderline"

― willem -- (willem), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 11:14 (eighteen years ago) link

how's the new superpitcher track? is it good?

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 13:50 (eighteen years ago) link

i haven't heard that new superpitcher, but the new westbam & superpitcher track 'it's not easy' is ace - v bouncy!

also i am completely loving 'domino' by oxia. which i think was off speicher 34.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 13:59 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm not into the superpitcher but then again i'm not a huge fan. it's an arpeggiated 303 bass and spooky glockenspiels. a bit of sulky one.

oxio - domino is a very, er, faithful homage to Chardronnet's Eve by Day!

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 14:16 (eighteen years ago) link

I hear the Superpitcher isn't great, from alot of people. But I am waiting to hear it still.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 16:13 (eighteen years ago) link

the least liked Superpitcher's are the ones i tend to like most.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 16:58 (eighteen years ago) link

like which?

I like pretty much all of them.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 18:20 (eighteen years ago) link

anyone seen that Kompakt is doing a showcase at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival (or whatever they're going to call it this year) at the end if May? Superpitcher, Klimek & Markus Guentner are already scheduled but i'm hoping we get Koze or Mayer too!

― something less threatening (heywood), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 18:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Anybody know when the Kompakt MP3 store will have it? How soon after album release do they put stuff up? Is it only once a week?

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 18:44 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah that makes no sense, i guess most of his tracks are well loved. what i should have said, rather, was that few people went particularly crazy over the very low key and moody Total 6 track but it's one of my favourites so if this is in the same vein then i'm anticipating hotly. other than "fever" i don't think i've heard a Superpitcher track i've not liked.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 18:57 (eighteen years ago) link

The Superpitcher track is good but not exceptional in any way really. Tight and functional, some nice hisses and time-fuck echoes on the drums but otherwise very much about a thick rubbery acid line run right down the middle. Kind of like what Michael Mayer has been doing lately, but more static. (Guessing, of course, it could be quite something else altogether on a good club system.)

― Andy, Tuesday, 18 April 2006 19:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm loving that Axel Bartsch 12"! Aceness!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 05:48 (eighteen years ago) link

The new Superpitcher cut is liked an amped-up acid sequel to "Mushroom," which is fine by me.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 22 April 2006 21:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Why on earth haven't we seen a tracklist for Immer 2 yet? Obv it was recorded months and months and months ago.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 22 April 2006 22:46 (eighteen years ago) link

I wonder if he was unhappy with it and re-recorded it numerous times? I think it was originally planned for last October or something!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Sunday, 23 April 2006 00:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Hi, We do know that one track is code e - "analysis and evaluation"! At least that's what it says on the mule electronic website...Do we know any other tracks?

― dchc, Sunday, 23 April 2006 04:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Last I heard there were some licensing issues with Immer 2

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Sunday, 23 April 2006 12:57 (eighteen years ago) link

kompakt is definitely not slowing down! jeez, let's talk about K2 - the herve ak 12" is wicked! and knock-kneed by steadycam - that's some smoothness right there, kind of gives me a SCSI-9 type feel, real clean, my girl really likes that one when i play it, starts doing james bond intro type moves around my apartment. ;)

also, kind of related since most of his stuff is under the kompakt distro umbrella - BUTANE. man, all of this guys music is sick! i thought his releases on dumbunit and rrygular were ace, but the new one on num is his best yet (tinker toy/your bassline needs some work)

― jason m (jason m), Sunday, 23 April 2006 14:46 (eighteen years ago) link

on the aforementioned herve ak 12" 'part time' - b2 'my favorite smile' - reminds me a bit of jonas bering's recent track 'melanie', it's a very emotive sounding track. perfect for playing when everyone is tired and laying around after a hot summer day.

― jason m (jason m), Sunday, 23 April 2006 14:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Kompakt Koeln 1- has it held up? Is it worth dropping ten bucks on, as I have the opportunity to do?

And is there any new, um, news on the SCSI-9 album (last I heard to be called The Line of Nine)?

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 01:05 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't listen to Kompakt Koln 1 much at all, it sounds very stiff and clanking and furrow-browed compared to most of the label's actual output, but the Dettinger collab-o on it is great.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 01:20 (eighteen years ago) link

but...but...it should be an honour to appear on Immer?!?

― Omar (Omar), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 06:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Kompakt Koeln 1- has it held up? Is it worth dropping ten bucks on, as I have the opportunity to do?

yes! i just got this, and i love it....esp the herbert double up on "going round"...pity that tune appears to cost £15-20 now :(

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 07:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Immer 2 should be out in June now though.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 07:52 (eighteen years ago) link

From p-fork singles review today:

"Now Rex the Dog, one of Kompakt's prize minimalistas..."

-Can someone tell me how Rex the Dog's productions can be construed as being minimalist in even the most vague sense of the word? None of his productions would seem to warrant the tag, much less his bigger known singles and remixes (eg. Frequency, prototype, etc.) Has it come to the point where if you make techno and you're from Germany that it *must* be "minimal"?

― Trace Henry (Trace), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 12:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Isn't he English?

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 12:34 (eighteen years ago) link

"yes! i just got this, and i love it....esp the herbert double up on "going round"...pity that tune appears to cost £15-20 now :( "

Ambrose I think you're thinking of the first Michael Mayer mix, which is great yeah. Koeln Kompakt 1 was just a comp of standalone tracks from vaguely related labels (e.g Profan) before Kompakt had released anything.

The Mayer mix was actually much more of a blueprint of what the Kompakt sound would turn out to be.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 14:50 (eighteen years ago) link

oh!

this
as opposed to
this

i suppose

clueless as ever...

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 15:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Well while you mention it that Mayer comp really is great! How fantastic is "Fackeln Im Sturn"?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 15:14 (eighteen years ago) link

heh i was gonna add "going round" to my plaintive gorgeous techno thread. but maybe there is a lot of stuff like that.

i reckon "other exercises" and "isoplace" are big tunes

the stephan g tune sounds like poker flat stuff!

byron c, stephen g... who the hell are these people!

yeh fackeln im sturm is heavy too

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 17:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Anybody heard anything from this:

KOM137 THE FIELD - SUN + ICE

FAR FROM ANY SHORT-TERM TRENDS, THE FIELD TELLS US THE STORY OF POP LOOPS. MOST STUNNING CRACKLING SOUNDS EMBEDDED IN SOUND PLANES AND SUPPORTED BY BASS DRUMS.

01 OVER THE ICE
02 ISTEDGADE
03 A PAW IN MY FACE
04 SUN & ICE

I loved their first one. I had kinda hoped this would be two side-long tracks as well, but I'm still very interested.

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 16:58 (eighteen years ago) link

I guess that should be "his first one" as discogs tells me it's only Axel Willner. Please excuse me.

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 18:22 (eighteen years ago) link

You are excused. His first one kinda had 4 tracks as well, don't you agree? Looking forward to this, the second one!

Also, I love the Superpitcher track on Speicher35 (Enzian): slow, gorgeously, seductively slow, climbing, (only just) lifting off - it's his V-2 Schneider :-)
The Stardiver track's great too, and even slower. Oscillating.

― willem -- (willem), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 19:04 (eighteen years ago) link

It's true willem. I had the same thought, but calling four tracks two tracks and making each really long was exciting to me for no particular reason. I love side-long tracks. I, too, am enjoying Enzian, even though it seems not many folks around here are.

I just got the Kaito album, and after two albums, it is indeed quite air and innocuous (but I'm sure it's supposed to be). I just can't tell if it's consistently good or just consistent. It's easy to ignore, but it's also quite beautiful. What are others thinking about it?

― matt2 (matt2), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 14:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Sheesh, I gotta clean it up around here, that second bit should start off:
