This brand of epic mutilated machinic groove with lots of twinkle-riff high-end action seems to be the creative-center of minimal/electro/whatever-house at the moment. There's this whole cluster of different artists converging on this idea: people like Boratto, Afrilounge/Chardronnet, Jona, Someone Else, and then also so many of the big names (Booka Shade, Eulberg, Ananda). I guess it makes sense b/c it's sort of like the midpoint b/w Kompakt/Traum on the one hand and Get Physical at the other.
I was listening to a Stephan Bodzin mix the other night and was surprised to find myself in complete thrall. I thought the gothy riffy impulses (almost Black Strobe updated for 2006) would be a bit familiar, but it was all so compulsive. Towards the end of the set he played Booka Shade's "Trespass 06" and it sounded absolutely huge in that setting.

I really like his tracks with Marc Romboy "Phobos" and "Ferdinand".

the original isn't anything special, but the Supermayer remix is a TOTAL FUCKING ANTHEM

Both seem like kind of worse versions of Superpitcher remix of the MFA. I guess the original is nice, the first time I heard it I really liked it, but subsequently I just thought it sounded like a less good version of lots of other Superpitcher tracks too.

i'm having which-one-is-which confusion about the field 'under the ice' single - i think the one i absolutely adore is 'istedgade', the massive pop anthemic one with the annoying glitch in it (nb: does anyone know where i might find a copy without the glitch?), but upthyread or elsewhere someone said it was 'sun and ice'.

I seem to like most of the K2 stuff more than Kompakt proper right now it would appear. Esp. Hug - The Happy Monster, which even though it's not anything that special at least works for dancing.
Tried saving this by rejiggling the tracklist but I'm struggling to fill just one disc so far. Doesn't feel anywhere near as fresh as 6, and some of the more pop/trance-inclined stuff is just icky.

1. Kontrast - Grey Skies To Blue (7:07) (more like blue skies to gray! VERY heavy track to open with, not so much melancholy as just depressing. Feels like it needs a Morrissey guest vocal)2. Triola - Wighnomys Polarzipper Remix (5:35) (heard this before somewhere. great track, doesn't feel below par)3. Robert Babicz - 3 Sonntag (6:44)4. Steadycam - Knock Kneed (7:13)5. Thomas Fehlmann - Saft (4:58)6. Gui Boratto - Like You Supermayer Remix (7:38) (not that sure about this one overall but the retro piano house style percussion breakout is FAB)7. Dj Koze - Getreide Phunk (6:30) (not quite got my head round this one yet)8. Wassermann - In Tyrannis 2006 (4:14) (ehh... it's unique, not sure if that's a good thing)9. Hug - The Happy Monster (6:09) dance!10. Wighnomy Bros - Wombat (6:10) dance!11. Reinhard Voigt - Tranceformation (5:31)

It took me all day to pin it down, but the b-side to the new Justus twelve inch "Advance" is based on the synth break from the 90's version of "Oh What A Night" by The Four Seasons. What will he come up with next?!
