commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

seriously weird shit...

more just unnecessary nastiness.

dude is disturbed imo

i mean, i would never ban pipecock for arguing a point in his usual way, but just being a dickhead without any content? ban-worthy, most definitely.

I honestly would prefer to just bury the hatchet, but it's incredibly hard not to bite when somebody seems to make a life's mission out of slating you. It's so spurious too, everyone here likes music, has opinions etc, myself and trees have had massive arguments but I don't systematically consider him evil or something. Don't know why someone would even bother but I'm glad my enjoyment of stuff isn't irrevocably linked to hatred of something else.

Anyway whatever, it's Friday night!

rip pipecock

died on a bank holiday

Don't hate the minimal, hate the pathological inability of producer's and critics to properly mourn it. The infatuation with minimal's denial and destruction not all that unlike Mr. cock's pathological infatuation with denial and destruction of anything and all things Ronan.

Anywyas, I want to hear Matias Aguayo sing more often, dude is definitely among the better voices in contemporary dance music.

RIP ronan's blog

Surely even non-rote critiques of minimal stopped being relevant a good 12 months ago.

RIP critiques of minimal

what would happen if ronan and pipecock met accidentally on a dancefloor?

just fuck off will you

die this bank holiday

Surely even non-rote critiques of minimal stopped being relevant a good 12 months ago.

'xactly

The new PVH cast is killing it for me right now: well constructed and a winning tracklisting.

http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=168

I just went from this to the 320 kbps Bleep 43 podcast and my oh my, what a difference it makes. Listening to those shitey 128 encoded RA mixes is a real strain on the ears after a while. Why have they reverted back to these lesser quality mp3's? Apologies for bringing this up again but it pisses me off (speaking as a slightly ungrateful consumer of free podcasts that are served to me on a plate).

even with shitty bitrate you can't front on the still going mix.

^ agreed. was so excited to see they were doing this week's mix

this pretty much = the shit

looking forward to hearing that - theyre playing plastic people with mock & toof on fri also

so ... arto mwambe?

didn't realise it was two guys - 'they' played down here the other week and it was just one of them

set was awesome tho, so will give this a listen

This is so so so much fun. It's like they want to be the Aeroplane of the revivalist house set.

just looked this thread up to rave about the mix. it's incredible. and Aeroplane is a good comparison for how shamelessly pleasurable it is!

Lol searching for ronan's recommendation of the arto mwambe remix of manuel tur I came across these words of wisdom:

"Arto Mwambe - Btwo - this is simply the most massive, irresistible, brilliant track.

one would think that you listen to next to no deep house music if you believe this.

― pipecock

heh...hardly surprising, you prob can't get classic-sounding house music much further away from pipecockian po-face than this stuff

Yeah i know, it's like an endorsement.

Laurent Garnier: "Always in my bag"
Prins Thomas: "The b-side is the one for me"
Dixon: "A heartbreaking work of staggering genius"
Pipecock: "One would think that you listen to next to no deep house music if you like this"

damn this podcast IS great. same with the manuel tur remix

new podcast is 160kbps too, they did a couple (at least) that were 128 and I just quit listening.

yeah, thank god for that. what were they thinking with the 128 kbps ones.

Lauer - Delta NRG

^^^ THIS.

Is that the big piano stomper??

Yup.

i really like the huge stompy one that starts about 35 minutes in ... is that erdbeerschnitzel?

mix is tops dudes thnx!

anyone listen to the fever ray one yet?

I'm fifteen minutes into it and it's kinda doin' nothing for me at all. I don't know the first thing about Fever Ray though. Loved the Lawrence one but I love pretty much everything Lawrence touches.

however it does have this awesome Zola Jesus track on it so that's cool

i enjoyed it a lot

Dor from Laid/Dial records -- lovely. Very smooth, very Detroit. Bit of a casual/spontaneous live mix, mistakes left in, triggering a 250-post lol-RA thread on soul vs technique.

Really liking Matt Edwards II/II mix tonight

are they still 128s or have they bumped up the quality.
i stopped grabbing when they dropped to 128, well, that and the fact i got a little overloaded with mixes and realised i just never had time to absorb and enjoy.

they're back at 160 now :)

cosmic twins weirdly controversial in the comments box. you'd think people would be all over derrick may / françois k but i guess not?

have you hard it? horrible unfunky sped up late 90s jazzy / tech house with a box of badly used tricks.

it's not THAT bad

Sounds alright to me, proper dancing music, hi-hats are due a comeback.
