Ellen's Boogy Bytes isn't really blowing me away so far :/
Fabric 34 took a while to grow on me but there aren't any real "whoa! rewind that..." moments and transitions to latch onto here yet like that one it seems. But then her mixes do usually take a couple of plays to reveal their flow.
― fandango, Saturday, 8 March 2008 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm liking it more than the fabric so far, but i've only listened to it 5 times or something.
i finally get to see her in may so there might be some projecting going on, like "ooh maybe she'll sound like this"
― jergïns, Saturday, 8 March 2008 19:21 (sixteen years ago) link
really can't get into this :(
it's far from bad like, but it's really uncharacteristic, largely missing all the usual things that makes her mixes great, could be anybody really. oh well.
― fandango, Sunday, 9 March 2008 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Aside from her new remix album, . Ellen Allien and Sascha Funke have new discs coming out soon on BPitch. Anyone heard them?
― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 9 March 2008 23:33 (sixteen years ago) link
really enjoying boogy bytes vols 2 & 3 ... i think the modeselektor one is pretty fantastic over the first half, maybe not so great in the second. it's a good representation of a cutting edge downtempo / IDM mix. not really something i recently thought i'd need more of, but there you have it. looking hard for kiki's volume now.
i heard a big chunk of ellen's fabric mix yesterday in amoeba SF. hearing it on good speakers in a cavernous concrete-floored warehouse space made it sound really, really great.
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 9 March 2008 23:45 (sixteen years ago) link
the Sascha Funke leaked ages ago and is actually out now I think... it's a bit weird. Very kind of plastic deep-house, and more indulgent than his singles have been since 'Bravo', like Kompakt-esque levels of farty indulgence, some nice sound engineering but I pretty actively disliked it in the end.
― fandango, Sunday, 9 March 2008 23:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Kiki's Boogybytes is fucking ACES. Along with Cassy from that year I haven't heard a better CD mix since (or podcast... etc) and not expecting to... but then I've lost a lot of interest in techno/house overall for the moment in any form, so it might be that I'm just not open to it right now.

For me, Ellen Alien hasn't bettered her Weiss mix from a few years back:
http://www.discogs.com/release/69619
The diversity of that mix was really refreshing: Squarepusher rubbing shoulders with DJ Assault followed by some supremely glitch IDM. What more could you want? Her subsequent mixes have been a bit 'meh' in comparison.

sam how many boards have you posted this on?
anyway, some vague news c/o http://www.factmagazine.co.uk/da/10521
ELLEN ALLIEN GOT SOOL POSTED 10:33 On May 27th Ellien Allien will release SOOL, her fourth studio LP, and her first since 2006's almost unfeasibly brilliant collaboration with Apparat, Orchestra of Bubbles. It's a more straight-forward, dancefloor-aimed affair than you might have hoped for, favouring supple, subtle minimal techno rhythm over the cascading synths and dreamy vocals that made Bubbles so moving and memorable. The BPitch Control boss is also behind Vol. 4 of the label's Boogy Bytes mix CD series, out March 31st; you can catch her DJing out and about at Dublin's SPY (May 16th) and London's Fabric (17th).
I hope this is good.

fair question! yes, i think i got a little carried away bigging up weiss. i'm like my mum - when i get something in my head i can't stop banging on about it.

Has anyone seen Berlin Calling? I found Paul Kalkbrenner's performance (and soundtrack) a treat.
