recent dj mixes

Toby you might like Hooj Presents Le Future Le Funk, as recommended to me by Tim F.

Not a DJ mix but a great compilation is the Kitsune records "Kitsune Love" compilation. It's all french stuff, a brilliant new Alan Braxe and Fred Falke tune which I love at the moment. It's really good.

I'd been meaning to get the Ivan Smagghe thing while I was in London, it might be tougher finding it here.

I love the Lu Cont mix, particularly the Cosmos remix of Zoot Woman.

jacques le cont - fabric live
dfa - colette
triple r - friends
dj language vs. negroclash

When is the DFA Colette thing out?

I'm loving the Output compilation too and also Digital Disco which I got in London fortunately.

Seconding Bis Neun and fifthing Friends. I hated Friends the first few times, but it's a grower. The amazing selection of tunes more than makes up for the lackluster mixing. Swoon...

The Colette DFA mix is fantastic, too.

So aside from what's already been recommended, I can add:

Luciano - Live @ Weetamix

It does the job so to speak. Nothing revolutionary (this sort of tech-house never changes, or indeed has to change). It ends with U.R.'s 'Inspiration', which of course is a beautiful thing.

I'm also getting into Speicher.

Thank you toby, I thought I was going mad and had imagined this. Definitely a top album of 2003, are the last two tracks, the Martini Bros' "Greatest Fan" and Tiga's take on Felix & Kittin's "Madame Hollywood", the greatest coda ever?

Also the Jacques Lu Cont Fabric mix - h-h-h-h-h-house nation! - and the DFA Muzik mix. What is this Colette thing? Is it available in the UK? I'm enjoying the Radioactive Man Fabric CD but wouldn't particularly recommend it, it's just scratching an itch. Le Future Le Funk is getting better each time I hear it, but it's still a bit "So?". And seconding Ronan for unmixed compilations, the Output and Digital Disco LPs are very necessary indeed.

Two I've just caught up with from last year are Ellen Allien's weiss.mix, a solid gold classic, electronica's greatest hits, and Zed Bias's Bingo Beats Vol 2 - I don't know the territory and I'm sure there are better mixes but this is the one I've heard and I love it.

I was disappointed with Theo Parrish's CONTEMPORHYTHMS Vol. 1, so much so that I haven't picked up Vol. 2, and I pick up anything with his name on it on sight.

Lately I've been listening more to livesets than to mixed cd's, but I I'm playing Adam Beyer's Timewarp 3 CD a lot.

utter, utter crap. Ruins the album for me, it's like a tumor beating inside your head "yeah its fine now but the pain will come at the end." He shouldn't have messed with perfection.

Mmm, I was actually looking forward to that SoundMurderer mix. :(

On the other hand, this Brinkmann thing just grows and grows. Best techno mix I've heard since Mayday (OK, I don't listen to techno much anymore, but still), it has it all--abstract bits, jazzy bits, housey bits, intense bits, mellow bits, full-on machine bits... and great peaks and valleys too. Brilliant.

I bought Tiga DJ kicks, Hell electrobodymusic, and Hawtin's DE9 today, and I have listened to DE9 and am listening to Tiga now. DE9 still soudsn great (had heard it numerous times before) and Tiga is fun so far...

this is sooo damn good!

How original...

I've been enjoying this mix lately:
http://www.erikxvi.eu/2010/08/14/the-fading-splendour-of-a-technological-future/ (direct link to mp3, since it's a bit hard to find on the host's page)

slow-motion 90s techno. Give it a while, it gets pretty immense.

(considers posting to the "chopped & screwed" thread but I guess heads may feel misled since there's no hip hop)

house party essentials from dan shake

really stunning mix from Lamin Fofana, hyper-clean nu-acid dirtied up and complicated with some found sound and effects. very little in the way of beat matching. each track stands on its own. great interview too.
