I felt ILM needed a place to freely discuss techno and house without limiting to just new releases. So it can date back to Edison's recitation of the alphabet for all I care, but if you hear a great record from 5 years ago and want to discuss, then heres a place for it.
Also, I personally feel really burned out after following as much new music as I have over however long, and need to cut down, take a break, or even stop, and start listening to music without the pressure of progress. Personally, I've been fairly nostalgic for a lot of early 00's microhouse, which my dance music self grew up on (no, I'm not very old), which probably just goes to show that I've become pretty jaded.

I'm quite enjoying John Beltran lately, that very mid-90's Detroity ambient techno sound.

I think Decembers Tragedy was used in the HBO series Six Feet Under.. It was cool hearing as a soundtrack.

Dub Taylor had a couple good/great LP's + 12"s on Force Tracks.
also check the label Raum...Musik for other pre-bobbins sounds.
Beltran's Ten Days of Blue LP on Peacefrog is classic from the first sound to the last.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 22:53 (sixteen years ago) link
In terms of Force Tracks MRI's All That Glitters is one I come back to cos it's pure pop. "Tied to the 80's" is from a an 80's TV theme and the dub Aaliyah cover is soo cool.
― mmmm, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 23:08 (sixteen years ago) link
Heh, I was playing All That Glitters a moment ago - first Vinyl I ever owned.
I've been listening to the Beltran Stuff of Stryax Leaves, which is a really great label by the way, which are rereleases from older stuff. 'Anticipation' is wonderful, and "vienna" is beautiful little piece of classical string sampling.

Crane A.K.'s Pink Eyed Pony seems fairly typical of the Force Tracks roster to me. Deep, dubby, bouncy, clicky. More minimal than Dub Taylor, a bit too polite?
― mmmm, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:16 (sixteen years ago) link
a couple of v old classics i recently encountered:
Jesse Saunders - On And On good electro-boogie/house crossover but you could make a good case for this as first house track ever maybe (released in 84 but maybe first recorded in 83)
Farley Jackmaster Funk - Jackin The Trax to hear it you'd believe hercules & love affair have been basing much of their sound on this one track. great house with that macabre synth hook seemingly taking its cue from italo and electro from a few years earlier.

Model 500 'Starlight' is still a favorite of mine. Play doubles of that late at night. The recent Echospace/Deepchord remixes are alright, but the original holds up just fine. Others I still love, Ken Iishi 'Overlap (Mark Broom mix)', Joey Beltram 'Energy Flash', Burger/Ink 'Las Vegas', Axis' lp on Guidance, Moodyman 'Forevermore', Jay Dee 'Plastic Dreams' must still be making them money, i see new remixes of that every year. Then, play Irresistable Force's 'Flying High' over some djax to kick out the jams.

Yeah that's weird about "Dem Young Sconies" appearing at Hardwax. Do they sell bootleg stuff?

That'd be the problem. Wifey loves dancing but doesn't like "dance music." It only takes about 30 seconds of any synthetic beat of the thump-thump-thump-thump-this-is-going-to-be-a-dance-song variety and my wife gets extreme anxiety. She loves Depeche Mode and plenty of early 90's poppier house stuff but can't stomach a moment of "true" techno, even something as gorgeous as "R-Theme" or "Dominas." I know, it doesn't make sense to me either.

My bf and I went for the first time last year and hope to make it a tradition.

No, 151 is the best cut on the record. I got real lucky because the guy that owned it only played Fantasy Girl(marked three stars on the cover) and never touched the rest of the LP.
The Fingers tracks are interesting because they sound like demo's of Washing Machine. I don't know, but I would guess that they were alternate takes from around the same time. The rest of the album varies in quality. The Phortune track on the b-side is the only other thing that stands out.
One other unrelated thing, the Dem Young Sconies records are legit. There must have been a few boxes of planet E records that got lost because my local store got a grip of old common factor 12"s. They were in the PE sleeves with the custom sticker and had the PE91-98 xerox catalog included. They are either new old stock, or they were bootlegged by incredibly detail oriented pirates hell bent on losing money.

very much enjoying dj laflèche's two discs of banging uptempo progressive house for the turbo label (circa 1999?)
highlights include an amazing sequence on "montreal mix sessions vol 2" that start's w/ the incredible MFON's "ron hardy's revenge" and ends w/ twilight (aka roger "s-man" sanchez's) "i want your love", which of course samples the chic song of the same name. taking in, along the way, gene farris, cevin's mix of arthur baker, robbie rivera's fab 68 beats project, and some obscure but banging tribal dudes i've never heard of
highly recommended for fans of trevor rockcliffe, blake baxter, danny tenaglia, etc etc

anyway, i remember two years later seeing entire BINS w/ nothing but ben sims, adam beyer and oliver ho records! seriously, no joke, "techno" had a bin, "hard style" had a bin, and "beyer / sims / etc" had a bin. who did i forget? samuel l sessions?
still, there's a beauty to the purity of something like this ben-sims-only dj mix, not so different from listening to an hour of purposemaker or user tracks. and there's the odd genius producer, like cari lekebusch.

I heard on a Troy Pierce chart this one track by one of the Dahlback's from '97 on Svek, as The Persuader or something that really peaked my Interest. Any other stuff on Svek, for someone that's never really heard any of it really, that's really essential?
― mehlt, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 20:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Is that Centralbron? Magda used it on a mix CD I think. It's a great track and probably the most forward thinking from the 2xLP and CD Stockholm on Svek in 99.
― mmmm, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 20:38 (fifteen years ago) link
I heard Stephan G and The Persuader's Kaos on Svek from '97 recently too. Played it again and it kinda fits in the Olso / Johnny D stuff.
― mmmm, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 20:42 (fifteen years ago) link
It is: The Persuader - What's The Time, Mr. Templar?
I'll check out Centralbron though

gosh - second mention of the Ballistic Bros in one day on ILM (JBO thread),a mere few hours after i spotted their album lurking in the archive having been left unloved for a long long time. i am sure i tried the album back in the day and was left unmoved, though i can feel the urge rising to give it another spin.
― mark e, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 21:24 (fifteen years ago) link
The two Ballistic Brothers LP's I have are great (I don't have the first one). London Hooligan Soul was my go-to disc for backyard bbq's way back when + Rude System stayed on my turntable (primarily because the gatefold vinyl was so perfect for rolling spliffs). Lots of great songs on those 2 albums. A fair amount of dodgy tracks too but the good far outway the bad.
Urban Farmers - Swinging It on Afro Art was my secret weapon for an extended period sometime in 96/97.
Svek is a fantastic label and the 2 from The Persuader that have been mentioned are essential. The Stockholm album is still one of my favorite electronic albums of all time. Its not house or techno but some amorphous combination of many different styles. His 12"s preceding that album are 100% essential.
Bjorn Torske's Trobbel probably won't get mentioned anywhere but here so take this as a desperate plea for you to track it down. Erot & Bjorn Torske are the 2 most under-appreciated Scandinavian producers who i will always promote.

Bjorn Torske's Expresso on Ferox Persuader's Stockholm By Night on Svek

That Expresso record on Ferox is really great. The flip 'rail track' is the one I play all the time.

Bjorn Torske's Expresso on Ferox
this inspired me to drag out the whole stack of ferox stuff ... and something i hadn't listened to in a while, russ gabriel's "out of the unknown".
ok, not sure if it's a combination of the 100 degree heatwave (w/ humidity) we're having plus the thick smell of trees in the air or if this really IS the best broken beat album ever?

i just finally picked up the World 2 World 12" with Jupiter Jazz on it this weekend, i love that song so much but i hadn't even realised i only had it on CD. what a stunning record. UR tunes (especially when performed live!) have brought me to tears on numerous occasions, i dont think any medication aside from more UR in your life is necessary ;)
― pipecock, Friday, 30 May 2008 03:03 (fifteen years ago) link
the flipside of that record is vasty underrated.
It is a shame that Hi-Tech Jazz doesn't have the profile of Jupiter Jazz because it is so much better. Jupiter Jazz seems very concise whereas Hi-Tech Jazz seems a lot more sprawling and ambitious. It is one of those records that is so advanced that it is intimidating. How do you get to a place mentally where you can conceive and execute musical ideas like that.
It is raw and expressive, but there is more sophistication in any 16 bars of that track then there are in any random 50 tracks that get gushing praise on the 2008 bobbins thread. Mike Banks is easily one of the 10 top musical minds of all genres that came out of Detroit. He is second only to Juan Atkins as far as Detroit electronic music is concerned.
― Display Name, Friday, 30 May 2008 03:22 (fifteen years ago) link
"hi-tech jazz" is great! but it always makes me happy, whereas "jupiter jazz" makes me sad. i think it's the human voice samples in "jupiter jazz" that get me. the other one that makes me cry is "amazon". but maybe that's just the tree hugger in me, i remember one time that atrocious coldcut song that sampled amazonian logging operations ("timber"?) made me cry.
also: "the theory (melanic mix)", "return of the dragons", "nation 2 nation", "303 sunset", "inspiration", "transition" ...

I don't know about that, both sides of Final Frontier are some of the best electro ever to come out of Detroit. Then there is stuff like the Aaron Carl remix of Hard life, Timeline, the Drexciya records, Crime Report, Nocturbulous Behavior... There is some filler in the UR catalog but there is also some of the best music of the last 30 years.
I know what you are saying, but in this case I really don't think it is an age issue so much as a lot of people writing blogs don't have a discerning ear. The thing about those _ 2 _ records is that they have a level of musicianship and rhythmic sophistication that objectively isn't present in the shit that is getting pushed these days.
I remember one particular record mentioned on the 2008 thread that was a great "Detroit" record and everybody gushed about how good it was. Yeah it had good sound design but the drums were about as playschool as you can get and there wasn't a whole lot of writing.
People are not bringing that kind of sophistication to the music these days. They do a shitload of quick edits and have a million vst patches, and $40,000 in tube compressors at their disposal, but none of these cats could get work as a gospel pianist on Sunday morning. Most of them can barely play. Most of them can't program drums to save their lives either. What is sad is that I am not referring to the hobby level people, I am referring to the people with profiles. It sounded like a bunch of plunking around in Ableton until it sort of works and then it goes out into the world. It might be cool for a few months but then it goes into the black hole of the dollar bin forever. The bar is set so low for the industry it is ridiculous.
It might be an age thing to the extent that I have a better ear and understanding of music at 31 than I did at 21. However, I don't believe that it is impossible for this level of quality to be achieved today. It is entirely possible for somebody to drop another World 2 World level record, UR does not have the market cornered on good music.
The other problem is that this is a entertainment industry not a music industry... that is another rant.
I went to the discogs page and checked how many times each track has hit a compilation a couple days ago. I think Jupiter Jazz has been comped a lot, Hi Tech Jazz only has been comped once or twice IIRC. If you check the comps that JJ has been on, I think it is fair to say that it has a higher profile.

If you and James Jamerson were to play bass together there would be no objective difference between what he can play and what you can play? Do you play as well as McCoy Tyner?
Music is a language. Is it too much to say that some people are expressing more interesting thoughts with it than others?
Do you honestly think that the guys that you blog about who can barely string a track together on a computer are going to be able to out do guys who can actually play music on real instruments? I listened to the first half of your chart and you realize that there is zero tonal movement in the entire thing. It is all based on either one chord stab or in the case of that loco dice track it is based on one single 2 bar piano loop(it is really a one bar loop but on the second pass he plays the last chord twice. I am not even going to get into the drums...

Mike...none of that means liking or disliking the music is worth more/less.
If the best musician was the most talented then techno has nothing on classical music does it? Or at least, that's what a classical fan would tell you.
I can't believe I'm even having this argument. It's not a competition, it's music. Nobody "outdoes" anybody and the important reason music is "remembered" for me is if I remember it, not if some sweaty dudes on messageboards all agree it was the greatest technical feat of its era.

i am sort of sympathetic to mike's argument - you sort of wonder about guys like robag wruhme. could they make a "black water" or a "knights of the jaguar" if they wanted to? obviously the detroit guys know their scales and stuff, and so do *some* europeans. thinking like, alter ego and gang? they are quite musical when you get down to it.
but then the hole in mike's argument is that there's guys who *are* musically trained who end up making earhole-bursting noise, and guys with very little training (thinking justice here) who make stuff that's quite melodic. so how can we be so sure that like, marco carola or whoever doesn't play a mean flamenco guitar?

To me, older tracks often just seem to have more life to them (even the kinda shitty ones actually). They breathe. There's less compression and less focus on the mid-range. I dunno ... maybe I'm just too much of a sucker for certain old school sounds ... 808 kicks, 909 claps, some 303s and shit ... whatever. It all just sounds right to my ears. Sometimes new stuff does too, but not nearly as often.
It's not necessarily a matter of musicality, but I do like some development going on (which can be accomplished through repetition, of course).

I am not out on some Geirist notion that melody is the most important thing music virtue or that you have to be able to play Dvorak in order to make good music.
The point I am trying to make is that a lot of the stuff getting lauded is working on only the barest musical cloth. I am not asking for huge solos and huge technical feats. Is it too much to ask for a chord progression? Is it too much to ask for a key change when you break into a new section?
The difference between older dance music and today is that the guys making the old stuff had a background in "real music." Larry Heard was a drummer, Juan Atkins was a bass player, Jeff Mills played drums in his high school jazz band, Mike Banks was a session keyboard guy... That is the thing that nobody wants to bring up about all the old school legends, those guys were musicians.
That was the beautiful thing from R&B-->disco-->Chi house/Detroit techno-->minimalism. Right around the turn on the 90's is where things started to get to stripped down and abstracted. I love BC and Dan Bell as much as anybody, but when their legacy is the default approach is when things go too far. The history of house and techno was to take disco and electro and italo and make those forms more streamlined and functional. When you have that kind of musical background you can do stuff like that and make it work.
The problem these days is that people don't know anything about music and they get one chord stab or loop and they just layer some facile drums over it and a couple keyboard vamps and call it "deep house" or whatever.
I love ear candy as much as the next guy, but there has to be some music underneath it. The new return to deep it only a surface return, the underlying musicality which makes the old records relevant is missing. If you want to know what is missing from today's music you just need to listen to those old disco records. There isn't a lick of Yngwie in an old Salsoul, P&P or Prelude record. At their best they were good tunes fleshed out with good performances and solid production. The nu-disco stuff is at least trying to bring this idea back into dance. I would like to see somebody try to reclaim techno in the same way.
― Display Name, Sunday, 1 June 2008 04:28 (fifteen years ago) link
And what is sad is that I am not even asking for Yngwie. I am asking for the musicality that your average teenager has after he has played in a few cover bands. I am not even asking for polyrhythm, weird chord progressions, inversions, and weird ass extended chords. Fuck, I would be happy if I could even get some I-IV-V.
― Display Name, Sunday, 1 June 2008 04:36 (fifteen years ago) link
you get the sense that people were somehow trying harder back then.
my biggest fear is that minimal is going to put house & techno on the same road to nowhere that drum'n'bass went when it reacted against "excessive musicianship".

"you get the sense that people were somehow trying harder back then."
perhaps if you look back at the seminal records that now stand out you do, but surely plenty of "knocked out" records back then too, even amongst the classics.
I'm not claiming dance music isn't different or it never changes. I think now you have a lot more artists doing a lot "smaller" work, if that makes sense. I quite like this, because I like the sense of dance music as this sum of all those parts, a sum you make yourself, or each DJ/fan makes themselves.
Also I really hate the cult that rises up around the really auteuristic producers and the same rhetoric that seems to grow on them like mould, like on this thread.
Obviously the fact you can make the music with a laptop rather than expensive hardware has a big effect on this. But then I think if more people are able to try and make some music than before, that's a good thing, if others are willing to buy/listen to their music then I don't see any harm.
I think where I differ majorly from you, Mike and others, is that I don't hear something and think "the musicianship in this is amazing", as a first impression. Though of course I fail to see how sound design is not musicianship, or how there's "real music" etc etc. Some of this stuff is pretty conservative.
Also I don't believe that there's a firm or permanent connection between great musicians and great music. As Vahid said, sometimes guys with great musical skills make very boring records. Making music is surely about composition and ideas, which is not the same skill as being able to physically play an instrument.
eg any half decent guitarist can play most Beatles songs, but it was the idea not necessarily musical talent/skill that led to the success.
Also it is utterly, completely ridiculous to just assume nobody working in minimal stuff or whatever you want to call it has musical training or is a musician, or fling out stuff like "they know nothing about music". Just unfounded and silly.
Tons of these producers are musicians and have musical backgrounds. I know because you see it mentioned or discussed endlessly in interviews.
And how is all of UR's back catalogue utterly "musical"? They have released plenty of stuff that is very tracky and disposable, that nobody is going to pick up and listen to as an independent work. There are plenty of those records that don't seem particularly musical, unless I'm missing something.
Also above all, I don't really understand disliking one approach to music by default. I love UR records and Chicago house, but I also have been enjoying minimal and now the housier stuff (which isn't just neo "deep house", nobody is satisfied with calling it that anyway) as much as I've ever enjoyed music.
And I still think a lot of this is just making a big complex theory out of a really strong dislike for a type of music. It's not the end of house and techno just cos you don't enjoy it.
And if anything is a threat to house/techno at the moment it's that the currently popular stuff is too backward thinking, that purism is so casually back in fashion, not with you guys of course, but a lot of people don't seem too interested in doing something majorly new.

i think this is a good point, that's sort of what we're doing here. picking out dudes from 10 years ago who didn't really have a *scene* around them. like dan curtin. nobody else makes music like dan curtin.

― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 1 June 2008 10:46 (fifteen years ago) link
do you mean that today is scene-y sameyness? just cos I obviously disagree.
today's auteurs: ricardo certainly, not sure who else. there are plenty of producers who do individual work but aren't necessarily in that culty auteuristic place.
what I think adds a twist to this debate is that Detroit stuff and German stuff is becoming quite mixed. For instance take a listen to Dan Bell's latest podcast, full of Federico Molinari, Johnny D etc. His first release on the reformed Elevate Recordings is by Baaz from Chaton's label in Switzerland.
Similarly my friend saw Patrice Scott recently and said he was playing Radioslave and plenty of Euro stuff.
I don't know what Mike thinks of Keith Worthy/Patrice Scott etc though.

1) Too melodic 2) Not melodic enough 3) Unnecessarily complex 4) Boringly simple 5) Fussy and overproduced 6) Facile and underproduced 7) Obsessed with remanufacturing the past 8) Ignorant of dance music history

that sounds like some mysticism about the process of 'musical training' from someone whose understanding of theory is pretty cursory in the first place
but how can i know? i cant. maybe you are very highly trained
"Seems like minimal and etc. is guilty of any crime you can care to name:
-- Tim F"
i dont know anyone who comments on the amount of melody in mnml shit being "too much" or the music being "underproduced", so i dont know where those came from. but some of the other apparent dichotomies you mention are very easily explained:
"3) Unnecessarily complex 4) Boringly simple"
this one is the drum and bass problem. the act of producing the sounds has become unnecessarily complex, while the results are boringly simple. before, a beat track could be made with an 808, it didnt take much time or effort but you got a functional track out of it. these days, people spend many hours on their DSP-athons trying to make some subtley different sound and then put it out in a simple track that is in no way interesting. this is the same thing that has plagued drum and bass, those guys spend crazy time on their bass sounds and then whack them over a boring as hell beat with a predictable buildup. it is mainly interesting to other producers (which is seemingly everyone in DnB these days) and people who dont remember when jungle tunes could actually have interesting stucture, rhythm, etc. the same is happening with techno and house music now. harder styles of techno were guilty of this as well, but they were never as mainstream as mnml and "deep house" are now which is why it is a bigger problem at this point in time.
"7) Obsessed with remanufacturing the past 8) Ignorant of dance music history"
this one is great because it is a non-argument. in fact, the only person i have seen really argue that mnml/"deep house" things are obsessed with "remanufacturing the past" is Ronan, who seems to just make this shit up out of nothing. the real criticism of this music is right along the line of what Display Name said: "The new return to deep it only a surface return, the underlying musicality which makes the old records relevant is missing."
i don't think anyone wants Yngwie type musician wankery nonsense in techno music (well, except for Squarepusher fans i guess) but trying to make a track that is melodically rewarding is not equivalent to that. however, i do feel like most of the DSP wankery IS the equivalent of Yngwie, straight up technical garbage with no soul in it. i do think that the Beatles comparison is apt: they made good MUSIC, it may not have been particularly technical but that wasn't the point. the problem is that so few producers even ATTEMPT to approach their music like that.
i have no problem with some beat tracks, but that is not the sum of techno. Ronan said "I think now you have a lot more artists doing a lot "smaller" work, if that makes sense. I quite like this, because I like the sense of dance music as this sum of all those parts, a sum you make yourself, or each DJ/fan makes themselves." and that is pretty much the Richie Hawtin point of view on dance music: everything is subservient to the will of the person stitching the music together. this to me is extremely uninteresting, the idea of "song" is thrown out the window, the "producers" are reduced to sound designers. of course Ronan also said "Though of course I fail to see how sound design is not musicianship" which is pretty much ridiculous. and his claims of "purism" and "conservatism" because we dont see the emperor's new clothes only show how ludicrous most of his arguments are anyway. i still cant figure out how that guy gets any gigs writing about dance music, his inability to grasp anything outside of what is "cool" right now is ridiculously limiting.

I've been enjoying the discussion so far but this - i still cant figure out how that guy gets any gigs writing about dance music, his inability to grasp anything outside of what is "cool" right now is ridiculously limiting. - seems meanspirited. Not to mention the fact that the majority of published music criticism tends to revolve around a parochial view of the 'contemporary', so as an attempt at a personal attach, it fails. It's a bit like saying 'I can't believe this guy who is a music journalist is a journalist writing about music'.

what ridiculous lines of argument? what arguments are you referring to?
I think plenty people on this thread would agree with what I'm saying, which is simply that whether people like/enjoy music is one of the most important things about any record, and in my opinion outweighs how difficult it was to make classically speaking.
as a result I reject all of these divisions between hardware/software, old/new etc.
I'm not even partisan about this, I don't rabidly insist new music is better than old. I just insist that there shouldn't be a hierarchy.
It actually annoys me sometimes that other people can't be bothered to argue on threads like this because I can remember ILM when somebody questioning the idea of subjectivity or somehow acting like it can be overruled would be shot down in a matter of minutes.

yes, me too. i know exactly where you are coming from, but i think the argument makes sense to me when i think about the issue of "musicianship" as sort of a red herring, or a mt / pipecock language way of wondering whether the balance hasn't swung a bit toward excessively tracky in the last few years.

I definitely agree that there's a good discussion to be had about what the point between that Beatles example and the Ywngie thing is. Or about how traditional musicianship fits into techno.
But we won't have it if this becomes just a vehicle to say "this music is crap and worthless" or even "this person is crap and worthless" as some seem fond of doing.
― Ronan, Sunday, 1 June 2008 19:00 (fifteen years ago) link
I really love the deep house mix of The Way Love Goes by 10 City. They give you a 16 bar intro to mix into, then you get a stripped down version of a real song, then you get a 16 bar tracky break to mix out of, and then more song and then finally the outro.
I don't have a problem with tracky, what I have a problem with is DJ's and producers who have become so lost in an incestuous scene that they have completely lost sight of the rest of the musical spectrum. We had the same issue 10 years ago during the hard techno era. Tools are a great way to add variety and to get from one song to another. However, they shouldn't be the entire set.
This kind of imbreeding leads to feeble music and the same exact thing happened to IDM about 8 years ago. Once you remove the sonic window dressing and the scene aspect of it, there is nothing there. It can't go anywhere because it can't express anything beyond a 2 bar loop. It is like trying to tell a story with a fraction of a haiku.

Umm... right. If you actually bothered monitoring the music that you dismiss out of hand you'd see how ridiculous this comment is.
Lets think for a minute about a few screamingly obvious recent musical events:
1) Larry Heard suddenly more famous, more quoted and more played than he has been since, ooh, 1987?
2) Prosumer and Murat Tepeli - "Serenity"
3) Sebbo - "Watamu beach"
4) Johnny D
Now, I'd wholeheartedly agree that much of this stuff (Oslo sound in particular) is missing the viriditas that animated the older music it imitates. But to somehow claim that the difference between the producers that you like is that they "honor the past" whereas the (inimical, despicable) Europeans do not is laughable.
The other thing that's laughable is that a bunch of old farts like most of us on this thread are (although I must admit I thought mt was way older than 31), still attempt to generalise from the particular when talking about music.

i guess that depends on who you are around, the deejays i know have been playing his records constantly both new and old since i knew what house and techno music were. a few jokers finally waking up to the fact that the guy didnt disappear 20 years ago due to ONE track he released (at the end of a series of extremely hot and underplayed Loosefingers records) is not really giving me good feelings about popular house and techno. this guy is one of the most consistant dance producers ever, you can't count him as part of this "new deep house" thing when he never stopped doing it.
"2) Prosumer and Murat Tepeli - "Serenity""
80's Chicago copycats. what can i say? if this is the kind of thing Ronan doesnt like happening, then i can go on the record agreeing with him.
"3) Sebbo - "Watamu beach""
the guy sampled a Basic Channel record. you've got to be joking, right? that is just a jack, its like claiming hiphop is alive and well because Puff Daddy is still around. who is playing the original anyway, its all about moritz's mix. and the same thing that applied to larry applies to him, he never stopped doing it so it doesnt count as an example of new dance music that is good and deep.
"4) Johnny D

the Oslo shit is exactly the faux-deephouse music that i am thinking of when i hear the criticism that Display Name leveled. i don't know what it is you look for in music, but if Johnny D records fill that for you, then i guess i can see why you think so highly of modern music.

I try really hard not to be aggravated by this kind of thing.
Did I at any point in that post say that I thought this was "good" or "deep"? No. I was calling you out for your ridiculous claim that nobody in Europe cares about the history of dance music. All of the above are just examples which show that there is a major current trend in European house/techno of referencing the past.
For the record I loathe fucking Johnny D.
And I agree with many of the points people make about what was good about golden age Detroit I just can't agree with these ridiculous systematic assumptions. Fine to say you don't like European minimal. Not fine to say it will never be good because it's from Europe/uses ableton/can't play the harpsichord.

That NY Housin Authority reissue is brilliant. I really need to bite the bullet and track down those other two records they did on Nu Groove. The only other thing I have heard on Tu Rong was that Dynamic Duo record and I wasn't too hot on that. That DJ Buck record does sound interesting from the discogs review.

x-post Jacob, he doesn't, it's really not worth it.
Anyway minimal stuff has been toolsy, for, what, 12 months tops?
Whereas clearly what defined the era 2003-2006 (in that murky house/techno/minimal area) was a distinctly anti-tools approach. Even instrumental tracks were defined by their hyper-melodic refrains (hence all the trance comparisons) and tendency towards multi-sectioned structures. See Luciano, Trentemoller, James Holden, Villalobos, Booka Shade, Dominik Eulberg, Wighnomy Bros, Tiefschwarz, Ame, Gabriel Ananda, Ewan Pearson... Hence so many of the biggest club tracks being remixes of songs. The only major exception I can think of is the M-nus sound.
― Tim F, Monday, 2 June 2008 08:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Plus it's not just tools today anyway. There are a core of artists doing that sound but there are still more melodic records, plenty of them. Even Johnny D I'd argue is not simply tools, not always.
In any case to act like Richie Hawtin or minimal invented this idea of DJ tools is insane. What about Jeff Mills?
As far as I can see there's been a toolish element to dance music for years and years, forever practically. I don't know why it's being singled out right now.
And Tim is right to point out that both mt and tom would have been lambasting dance music in 2004/2005 when it was full of songs, and would never in a million years have even said "well at least there is a song structure to this stuff, but I don't like X, Y, Z".
so dull that listening to a 30 second sound sample is physically painful
dull or painful? the two don't go together.
I think the more integration that happens between Detroit and Europe musically, the more untenable your position becomes Tom.
I mean, what do you actually think of the fact that Dan Bell blatantly loves Oslo? Or Patrice Scott and co playing plenty of Euro stuff at Fabric?
Are they morons too?

Do you honestly think that the guys that you blog about who can barely string a track together on a computer are going to be able to out do guys who can actually play music on real instruments?
The computer is an instrument like any other. Being about to pluck a guitar with your fingers doesn't mean you can automatically program a computer or a synth well - and that's where the complexity & nuance comes from: not from live dexterity or chops, but from being able to master the electronic machines so that you can get the absolute most out of them. Learning Reaktor is exactly the same process as learning the violin.
If you criticize electronic music for its thudding obviousness, or over-determinedness, or because bar 64 sounds exactly the same as bar 2 (which do I agree is a huge problem), the producer is bad at programming interesting music on machines not neccessarily bad at playing live music. Apples and oranges.

No, it's definitely not all my mind ;) all music is not created equal: some records are more well-crafted, more effective, more ambitious, etc than other records. Some people are more talented at making music than others, with better ideas, and a keener ability to execute those ideas. This is just obvious stuff, surely, in any artform. Does your comment really mean "Nothing is wrong with any record and it's all just down to taste" - surely not - i know you, Ronan, and you've got a whole theory of what's right/wrong with just about every record you hear! And every one of those reasons that one record is better than another is objective reason - the only subjective thing is whether those elements please you or not
― good dog, Monday, 2 June 2008 18:35 (fifteen years ago) link
nobody hears the same things in the same records...there can't be objectivity, or hears records without prejudice/taste/years of their own listening/their mood that day etc etc...
sure some people may be better at certain parts of making music but it's very complex to say how that relates to how their work is consumed/received...I mean what does "better" even mean in this context?
The only worthwhile definition of better is somebody liking something more. How could there ever be another definition?
The point of reviews etc is that perhaps some people share the same sentiments about why something is good/bad.
― Ronan, Monday, 2 June 2008 18:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Well yeah, that's talking sense. The purpose of reviews/criticism/chats like these is to convince people to your point of view. "it's all just opinion anyway" is just noise, not an argument.
if you think that Ableton-straightjacketed loops are interesting music, I'd like to hear a defense. I can see the appeal of 'Enfants' (although only for a few minutes) but making a whole genre out of this stuff, and filling up a whole club night (which is what Mara Trax do) i mean i can see why people are exasperated and resort to things like "they don't know how to make records which develop" etc
― good dog, Monday, 2 June 2008 18:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Although: that night I saw Mara Trax this guy had great records (which did develop). So I do think talent is down to individual DJ/producers, not neccessarily the genre (or heaven forbid, country).
― good dog, Monday, 2 June 2008 19:08 (fifteen years ago) link
don't think they're Ableton straightjacketed loops
― Ronan, Monday, 2 June 2008 22:48 (fifteen years ago) link
I mean come on...how is "ableton straightjacketed loops" supposed to be some kind of neutral agreeable definition for anything.
You might as well say "if you think crap music is good music I'd like to hear a defence".
― Ronan, Monday, 2 June 2008 22:49 (fifteen years ago) link
what's interesting is that you aren't providing any kind of defense or explanation as why these records are great. Please explain why this stuff is wonderful.
on another note...
I came across this today, it is worth looking into. I was surprised to hear something this good come from my own backyard. Texas is bubbling...

I think it's very difficult and dangerous to start and talk about "real music" (with real drums and stuff) and not so real music (produced with Ableton). That's as if you say: that's a real text, the guy wrote it with a pencil. And this text isn't: he wrote it on a computer.
But when it comes to thinking about why a lot of electronic dance music that comes out these days is quite boring, I'd say it has something to do with Ableton. This program is a brilliant piece of software. It makes it very, very easy to produce a track that sounds like all the other tracks.
And yes: ten years ago you could try to get a 303 and make some kind of generic neo-acid track. But you still had to figure out how to plug things together. And you had to find a 303.
This is not supposed to be a defence of boring "ableton straightjacketed loops". They exist, everybody knows it, everybody complains about them.
But it's ot about "real music" and playing an instrument.
I think that one of the driving force in electronic dance music always was to work with and against the limits of technology. And that gets increasingly difficult.
― Tobias Rapp, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:11 (fifteen years ago) link
Why should I defend records against prefabricated criticisms? I'd take your approach and just say "Johnny D is great because he's not UR" but I actually like UR and don't define my taste by what I dislike or what it isn't.
In any case...it's completely irrelevant what records we're talking about. Criticisms like "he is a better musician" or "straitjacketed ableton loops" really are just "I don't like this" posing as some kind of theoretical knowledge.
x-post nobody can agree what the "straitjacketed ableton loops" are. is this the new "boring minimal" or something?
people just say "yeah we all hate those, we all know they exist" then spread their purchases out over an entire scene anyway.
it's so suspicious when "boring" is the criticism of anything.
― Ronan, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:16 (fifteen years ago) link
Anyway, for a discussion of which modern stuff people like, there is a thread you know...
― J@cob, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:22 (fifteen years ago) link
Sure.
This whole Ableton thing just keeps me thinking at the moment.
I just spent an afternoon with a friend who knows how to work with it and I was surprised that we came up with a track that sounded --- well, not exactly like an "ableton straightjacketed loop" but kinda good. And that's tempting.
― Tobias Rapp, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:23 (fifteen years ago) link
exactly...plus why should anyone have to defend their tastes based on someone else's tiny view of them? eg should I say why every record this year I liked is good? or every minimal record ever? or every one mt and tom have heard?
all of these discussions are also taking for granted the number of artists who play instruments anyway, but that's another day's work.
I've fiddled about with Ableton and perhaps a loop is easy to create, but modulating it is very hard. I don't think the tracks that come out are "easy" to make, I mean...again this is what people said about Chicago House and Detroit Techno at the time.
But 20 years pass and suddenly some people think "it's not me that's getting old, that argument was stupid back in 88 but techno really is easy to make now".
― Ronan, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:31 (fifteen years ago) link
I still want to know which specific records are supposed to be boring straightjacket ableton loops.
If I was a techno artist I would def. release an album called Straightjacket Ableton Loops.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:33 (fifteen years ago) link
Don't be silly Tim, we can't NAME the records. We don't actually listen to music we hate! That'd be as insane as lambasting it needlessly at every opportunity.
― Ronan, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Try the collected works of Marco Carola...
― J@cob, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:47 (fifteen years ago) link
I like to think I'm okay at talking about this sort of music but it's become almost a point of pride for me that I don't really know the mechanics of how the music is made. I don't really go for reviews that read like an inventory of the producer's computer set-up or home studio.
It'd never occur to me to say "boring ableton straightjacket loops" because I have no idea which programs make which tracks etc (easier to distinguish ableton mixing from vinyl/CD-J mixing obv).
Perhaps I'm making a virtue of necessity, but ultimately I'm glad that I have to use other ways to think and talk about why/how particular tracks are good or bad.
Ironically a lot of writers who champion "soul" in dance music spend a lot of time talking about gear, even if only negatively.

personally i'm just concerned by what i perceive to be a slight excess of hawtin-esque trackiness. which is maybe a trick of perspective. then again, there's tons of new disco and balearic, right? but that stuff's not terribly clubby, or at least not clubby enough. and as you point out, a just a couple of years ago everything was super songful. like martin buttrich (who mike hates, i think) and matt jonson and shit robot and tricksi, very melodic, like the sweetest norwegian power-pop.
but i guess maybe the shift toward toolsiness and tracksiness - lots of which is perpetrated by detroit-y dudes! i have a hard time squaring some of the comments upthread with the hype for omar s, who must be one of the most ultra-tracky detroit producers since, well, forever? - is just a weird perception i have, based on the fact that my only outlet for hearing european dance music is the resident advisor tracklisting?
― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 10:30 (fifteen years ago) link

This makes more sense to me as a way to approach this issue: how does the music work at the moment (the missing step between soul and gear).
But yeah, it's important to note that this is not about one scene but a whole bunch of scenes interacting with each other. And whereas 3 years ago a tune like "I Feel Space" could cross all those scenes it's harder to see that happening now (italo's influence becoming concentrated in balearic/nu-disco but purged elsewhere. Vahid do you like Aeroplane though? Marvellous clubby balearic nu-disco). Lest we forget that 5 years ago a lot of these artists (or their equivalents) were making Metro Area tributes.
The biggest concern I have is not precisely that this music is becoming too tracky - rather that it is becoming very anti-populist and rather respectful. It is difficult to imagine a Freeform Five equivalent emerging from this scene now, let alone a Jacques Lu Cont (I guess that's what nu French stuff is for, but it seems a shame to have an absolute split between excellent sound design on one hand and personality on the other).
(meanwhile one wonders if mt and pipecock could bring themselves even to acknowledge the existence of haircut house / fedde de grand / axwell / david guetta etc.)
― Tim F, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 11:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Not that I'm only into poppy stuff, but as recently as two years ago it felt like European club music existed on a continuum from abstract to popcentric where the two poles talked with one another a lot more than they do now.

It seems to me like people are blaming ableton instead of blaming the people who are using it. Yeah, it provides for the exploits of samey music, but (and I've never used it, so I'm not 100% sure) is it not possible to make something that doesn't sound like straightjacket ableton techno on it? Seems like an issue of people struggling with too much freedom in making music, but there are plenty of producers that simply move past this with ableton, no?

Funny, I've been looking for a vinyl copy of Law of Grace by Soul Capsule, or a 320 rip (and haven't got one yet), which was brought on by hearing Vincent Lemieux play it to finish off a Piknik Electronik (playing the whole track, unmixed, in it's entirety, as an encore of sorts), and it was one of the most perfect pieces of deep house I'd ever heard. . .
I did see a copy on ebay, for like $150 or something way beyond the usual $7-8 I'm used to. If elan is reading this, I'd like to take up the offer mentioned on the melchior prod. thread from from like 9 months ago about the 320 mp3, (this 174 one isn't cutting it for me).

Anyone posted this up yet? It's on BBC Radio 2.
The Definitive History of UK Dance Music
Zoe Ball presents the story of UK dance music and its development, as told by some of the biggest names on the scene. Programme 1: From casinos to warehouses - 1970-1987 We start with the seventies and US Billboard magazine naming the Wigan Casino Best Disco in the World, ahead of New York's infamous Studio 54. Then the story moves on to the eighties and its emerging soul scene.
The programme explores and contextualises Jazz Funk, Hip Hop and early house, and highlights how these forms were the pre-cursor to 1988's dance music explosion.
Programme 2: Explosion - 1988-1993
This was dance music's finest hour and a milestone in the history of UK youth culture.
The impact of the first seminal clubs - Shoom, Future, The Trip, Land of Oz and The Hacienda - created a media furore not seen since the emergence of punk.
Although there were subtle but important regional differences in sound, the same spirit was found in the clubs of Glasgow, Stoke, Cardiff, London and Bristol.
Raves moved to bigger outdoor venues, culminating with a three day event for over 30,000 people at Castlemorton in Worcestershire.
Programme 3: Underground, overground - 1994 to the present day
In 1993, dance music reached a critical mass. The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act of 1994 effectively outlawed raves and so the ravers became clubbers - and moved back indoors. Dance music became big business; Ministry of Sound began to expand its empire - from clubs through to a record label, radio and TV stations. Radio 1, which had ignored it, now had a variety of dance shows on offer.
Featuring contributions from Sasha, Russ Winstanley, Pete Tong, Ian Levine, Fabio, Jazzie B, Norman Jay and Paul Oakenfold, as well as songs from the early days of dance right through to the tracks of the last ten years.
This documentary is part of BBC Radio 2's Dance Season.

Lately I can't get enough of the album Seven by Dark Comedy (Kenny Larkin). I haven't heard anything else by DC but I understand he want much jazzier after this release.
It's one of those albums whose sounds, movements and concepts echo through a lot of contemporary techno. Whether they know they're tracing some of the same lines is really is mostly unimportant.
"Paranoid (Prelude To Paranoia)," "In a Room," "Solace," "Darkness," and "Without a Sound" would all sit comfortably in techno sets today.
As an aside, I watched one of the comedy videos Larkin has on his Myspace. I guess he's been out in Hollywood for a while now, possibly acting and certainly doing stand up comedy. I'll say this: I wish his comedy was as good as his music.

maybe try it louder? the club mix is just really cool spacey techno with a house vocal and the original mix is piano house that ups the energy and gives the same vocal a very different feel. obviously it's not the best record ever, or it would have been repressed earlier, but it's very good.

anyone care to talk about 16B? i dug out my copy of 'sounds from another room' the other day and at least half of it still sounds really fresh. on the cover there is label proclaiming him to be britain's answer to MAW. i think this album is a bit to techy to justify that claim but there's some really emotive house music on here. it's a shame he had to turn to the dark side.

You mean go prog? Wasn't he always quite prog though? He didn't switch as much as Deep Dish - in fact 16B's stuff is a lot like their two Yoshitoshi mixes. I quite like that middleground between deep house and prog, or at least the stuff from the end of the 90s anyway. Also: Hooj Choons!
16B's remix of Gus Gus's "Believe" is double classic to the max.
― Tim F, Monday, 23 June 2008 08:16 (fifteen years ago) link
yes, that remix of gus gus is very nice. i have it on an old northern exposure mix i think. i guess i've got my timelines confused. i always assumed that he started off (deep) house and went out and out prog from about 2000.
listening to 'sounds from another room' i never would have guessed that he had a penchant for progressive house (except for 'water ride' perhaps). the fact that it was released on Eye Q should have been a give away though... i wish he'd pursued that sound a little more because he had a real knack for producing soulful house music with a bit of bite.
― sam500, Monday, 23 June 2008 08:45 (fifteen years ago) link
no, i think sam500's right here. he was firmly in the glasgow underground camp when i first heard about him - although i guess you could argue there was always a strong prog element to glasgow underground?

Hmm I guess everything i know of by him was from between 1997 and 2002 (love "Behind The Face" from that year) - so perhaps his full career reveals more of a transition than he made in that period alone.

I remember getting slammed for telling people that you wouldn't get it unless you had been to Detroit. I was specifically referring to being a room with him discussing techno. There would be a couple less blog posts on mnmlssgs if those guys did their homework. It all kind of clicks when you hear him discuss it.
One Man Spaceship has it's moments. It's a Jeff Mill's album that sounds like Jeff Mills doing a minimal techno album. It is what it is.

I shouldn't dog it too much. I think the real problem is that I want to hear him mix purpose maker loops with the best parts of Every Dog Has It's Day. I can't really blame him for making a bleepy 909 album but I would love to hear some of the old samba magic from the older axis records.

Mike i thought you had disowned your "you have to have gone to Detroit" rants:
"goddamn, what the hell was I thinking on March 27th 2003???"
― Tim F, Friday, 27 June 2008 11:22 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't think that was much of a rant.
I think that mnmlssgg blog was a bit absurd. All of the influences existed prior to techno, but they didn't become "techno" until a whole lot of different things got thrown into a blender that was Detroit DJ culture. Techno as it is recognized as a genre came from the people in that scene cooked up.
The point I was trying to make, and perhaps I didn't make as clearly as I should have, I don't think those guy would deny Detroit's place in techno if they actually had to spend anytime in Submerge, or have a dinner discussing it's history with someone like Mills or even go record shopping with some old school heads for an afternoon.
If you wanted to learn about dub reggae you should go to Jamaica in the 70's or 80's. I don't think it is impossible for you to enjoy or be knowledgeable about the music with out visiting or living there, but you would view things in a different light if you had access to the actual location or at least direct access to the people involved. It was a local culture and witnessing it through marketing or media objects does not give a complete picture.
One of Detroit's problems is that it doesn't have the same kind of centralized documentation or commercial infrastructure to really spell out what was accomplished and why it is important. The majors don't own most of the masters and they have no reason to market it. I have been listening to Mill's since 1995 and last night was one of the first times I have seen proper interview footage of him discussing this music as a big picture. Detroit is a myth and it is a shame in some respects because there are a lot of accomplishments that don't get acknowledged today.
Bottom line is Jeff Mills spinning his own electronic rhythm track versions of popular street songs like a hip hop battle DJ with the sensibility of a jazz drummer is techno. It wasn't a tabla rasa, 12" culture started around 1975 and they slotted right into something that was already happening. The important thing is that they put their particular twist on the same records that everybody else had. The Chicago guys did their thing, the NYC guys did their thing, Miami had it's scene...

The other thing about Detroit is how much brilliant music came out of a relatively small city in the US. You could fill a book talking about the first rate dance talent that came out in the 80's and 90's.
Juan, Kevin, Derrick, Mike Banks, Ade Mainor, Marc Kitchen, Chez Damier, Carl Craig, Stacy Pullen, Rolando, Octave One, Terrance Parker, KDJ, Theo Parrish, Mike Huckaby, Deepchord, The Martian, Aux 88, Le Car, Adult, Perspects, DJ Godfather, Hawtin, Kenny Larkin, James Pennington, Scan 7, Rick Wilheit, Anthony Shakir, Dan Bell, John Beltran, Claude Young... for every one of these guys there were 5 other lesser known dudes. How do you name all these people with their own individual style and say that Detroit is just a myth.

there's also this which seems to be pretty crucial if you want to get jeff mills. (it was to me anyway). all of those choice comps are pretty choice.
i have contact special and it is high-quality, but definitely for the fans. it seems like the original 7" format would have served the songs better and it is a bit of a hybrid b/w aggro-mills and soundtrack-mills. i really need to go back and listen again though.
one man spaceship feels vintage and my thoughts after the first listens were almost exactly, "It's a Jeff Mills album that sounds like Jeff Mills doing a minimal techno album".
i am curious about what is meant by "the sensibility of a jazz drummer". been thinking about that one a lot lately as i think it is deeply misunderstood (especially the first time around...i know i didn't get it)

Mike, I don't think anyone is trying to deny the massive importance and causal centrality of Detroit to techno. But you and pipecock tend to push further arguments which I just can't accept:
1) That there is a direct and unavoidable link between the influence of Detroit as a geographic location and the quality/nature of the music that is produced there. I have a problem with this only because it's so determinist and because its reductive - I can totally accept that Detroit as a city has had a massive effect on many of its producers and that this can be change how they make their music. But it seems fantastic to suggest that this happens with all techno that comes out of Detroit and that it's something privileged listeners can easily pick up and identify consistently by virtue of having walked the same streets. No music works like that anywhere ever.
2) That techno from Detroit has "soul" and techno from Europe just doesn't - and again this is something that the privileged listener can just hear in the music. This strikes me as a massive, quasi-religious oversimplification of how music works - "soul" becomes a meaningless stand-in for all sorts of things that might actually be going on, much in the same way that "God" does for many people.
3) That Detroit techno is closer to jazz than it is to so-called-techno from Europe. This is mentalist even if Mills approaches techno with the sensibility of a jazz drummer. Pipecock has said this line repeatedly. I can only assume that he dismisses all the jazz influenced house and techno from Europe on the grounds that since they don't have "soul" they can't be part of the great jazz-to-techno lineage even if superficially they are deploying jazz signifiers. Note how all the arguments ultimately rest on this mystic invocation of the undefinable, noumenal soul component at some point.
If we're sticking to the much more limited following claims then I don't think there's an issue - I know Pete Chambers who writes for mnml ssgs and I know he would agree with the following points:
1) That techno as a genre is deeply rooted in Detroit, and that without Detroit techno, electronic dance music would not have developed in the same way that it has (this is different and more measured than saying "no electronic dance music without Detroit").
2) That certain stylistic elements in Detroit techno may have evolved partly through the influence of the experience of living in Detroit.
3) That a lot of Detroit techno feels quite distinct to other music that bears the name of "techno".
4) That certain Detroit techno artists have certain stylistic elements that are modeled on jazz.

I need to work on my grammar.
If you wanted to learn about dub reggae you should go to Jamaica in the 70's or 80's.
This is something that I should clarify. If you want to know about dub you should go there with 10-15 years of the scene's peak because eventually the scene gets buried in time. There are still a ton of people who remember, but time passes. Motown is gone, 70's loft party Detroit is gone, and the techno era is passing on as well as we all get older and more separated by adult life.
I left that sentence in by accident. It was a tangent I didn't mean to go off into.

This is fair enough, but while I've seen you express some humility w/r/t your capacity to understand scenes other than Detroit techno, this is something that, say, pipecock never does. He has supreme confidence in his capacity to understand and explain jazz/soul/2-step garage/whatever. Thus the gatekeeper role adopted vis a vis detroit techno begins to seem both inconsistent and arrogant, merely an excuse to boast about which producers have slept on one's floor and which epochal DJ sets one was lucky enough to witness. It's that kind of stuff which makes detroit techno pietism difficult to bear sometimes.

I don't really feel like addressing your last post. The problem I have with it is that your first three points are only valid if you stretch my opinions to their absolute breaking point. Your points don't line up to my actual opinion.
Your last four points are reasonable statements.

― Display Name, Saturday, 28 June 2008 00:10 (fifteen years ago) link
I feel my first three points are accurate representations of at least Pipecock's arguments, and partly what I'm trying to do Mike is pressure you into distinguishing yourself from them, which I don't believe you've done openly to date (although as I note in my immediately previous post you express yourself more carefully and consistently than Pipecock does).
If the last four points are more in line with your own attitudes then I don't see where the issue is with mnml ssgs etc. Very few people would balk at conceding all four of them. The criticisms of detroit techno pietism that, say, Pete Chambers is making, is really a criticism of the kinds of arguments expressed in my first three points.
"Virtuoso" is slightly more measurable and, as a consequence, makes it difficult to maintain the claim that all detroit techno is closer to jazz than it is to current house/techno from Europe. "Virtuoso" is still a word that can have a vague meaning - e.g. to what extent does it mean sophistication, to what extent does it mean subtle nods to past achievements, to what extent does it mean "feel" etc. - but it's much more grounded in what the music is actually doing. Whereas "soul" is supposed to be some trans-stylistic quality that transcends any concrete material quality of the music.
So if you abandon "soul" as the operating principle I think it becomes harder to argue that, say, Omar-S is closer to jazz than he is to Ame.
In terms of Journey In Satchidananda equivs, that seems like Vahid's territory. I love that album to bits but stuff that might remind me of it in house/techno is often harder for me to love - something like USG Presents African Blues springs to mind.
Of stuff I do like a lot...Theo Parrish at his most expansive obv (e.g. "Summertime Is Here")... Ian O'Brien? Jacob's Optical Stairway? Pepe Bradock circa 2000? Henrik Schwarz at his deepest (e.g. his remix of Kraak & Smaak)? I've never really had that kind of influence leap out at me when listening to "classic" Detroit techno but I'm willing to provisionally accept that this might be something to do with my ears, maybe I'm not listening for the right thing in that music (just don't tell me that this "thing" is "soul"!!).
― Tim F, Saturday, 28 June 2008 00:48 (fifteen years ago) link
There's also a logical inconsistency to the notion that one must have spent time discussing techno over dinner with Mills or gone crate digging with a Detroit DJ in order to understand "Detroit's place in techno".
Surely the whole reason that Detroit is central to techno is that so many Detroit techno records had a massive impact and influence on people worldwide, the vast majority of whom would never end up going to Detroit, would never have dinner with Mills, would never have go crate-digging in Detroit's record stores. If all those elements had been necessary for Detroit techno to become a causal flashpoint in the development of electronic dance music, Detroit techno would never have taken off as a global phenomenon.
I can easily see that such experiences might be immensely useful in understanding Detroit's place in Detroit Techno, or Detroit techno's place in Detroit. I can also see that they would be massively illuminating in terms of understanding how this music came to be, providing clues as to why it was so powerful as music.
But ultimately the quality of the music, as with the quality of any music, has to stand and fall with the music itself. And I'd hope that you'd agree Mike that while such extra-musical experiences might be v. important in terms of understanding the socio-historical backstory, they can't be the litmus test for "getting" the music qua music. If they are, then Detroit techno really should have no place in the story of global electronic dance music outside of Detroit itself. That's obviously not the case, so it suggests that there must be something important about these records as records that exists in addition to their evocation of the experience of living in Detroit.
I felt similarly when people used to claim that you couldn't really tell if a dubstep record was good or not unless you had heard it over loudspeakers at DMZ. If that is the case, then the music had failed as music on every level except as music-to-be-played-over-the-loudspeakers-at-DMZ. Funnily enough, this argument faded away once dubstep became relatively popular globally...

"1) That there is a direct and unavoidable link between the influence of Detroit as a geographic location and the quality/nature of the music that is produced there."
it has nothing to do with location. who ever said that? it has to do with culture. that culture is only located in a very specific location, so if that is what you mean then i guess it is true. if you live in suburban detroit, your culture is almost 180 degrees opposite from someone who lives inside the city.
"But it seems fantastic to suggest that this happens with all techno that comes out of Detroit and that it's something privileged listeners can easily pick up and identify consistently by virtue of having walked the same streets. No music works like that anywhere ever."
it isn't "all" techno that comes from Detroit, only a ridiculously high percentage of it. and honestly, why is it so hard to believe that cultural differences lead to differences in sound? i think with something like hiphop where vocals are so dominant that it is easier to pick out music made from outside of the typical American hiphop culture based solely on lyrics, accent, etc. but the same thing can exist in instrumental music, especially with something like techno that comes from Detroit and has such a distinct feeling that even the most technically gifted producers from outside of it can't copy it exactly. trying to define what creates that feeling is difficult, i am not sure that it is exactly possible to pinpoint it. really though, if you go to Detroit it all starts to make more sense, and the more time you spend there the more it makes sense. you can get the feeling of the city in the records.
"2) That techno from Detroit has "soul" and techno from Europe just doesn't - and again this is something that the privileged listener can just hear in the music. This strikes me as a massive, quasi-religious oversimplification of how music works - "soul" becomes a meaningless stand-in for all sorts of things that might actually be going on, much in the same way that "God" does for many people."
i do not agree that everything about music can be analyzed scientifically. it has nothing to do with your brain, it has to do with how it FEELS. and if you can suddenly explain feeling and how it works, i am sure there are a bunch of scientists who would like to know exactly how to do that.
"3) That Detroit techno is closer to jazz than it is to so-called-techno from Europe. This is mentalist even if Mills approaches techno with the sensibility of a jazz drummer. Pipecock has said this line repeatedly.

Note how all the arguments ultimately rest on this mystic invocation of the undefinable, noumenal soul component at some point."
using a jazz sample has nothing to do with jazz music. using a jazzy beat has nothing to do with jazz music. the reasons techno are so similar to jazz has more to do with the improvisation (in jazz it was done live, in techno it was done by a person or two on studio hardware) and the nearly limitless ability to make a song in the genre despite the actual sound. you know that Sun Ra's music is jazz even though people who don't understand jazz might call it "noise". in the same way, techno is easily identifiable. it doesnt have to do with the beat pattern, the instruments used, or really anything else. Tony Drake is techno despite never using a 4 on the floor kick, much in the way of synthetic sounding textures, etc. shake is the same way, he probably shares more in methodology with a hiphop producer, but his sound is 100% techno.
"I know Pete Chambers who writes for mnml ssgs"
ahhhh, now things are starting to make sense to me.
"1) That techno as a genre is deeply rooted in Detroit, and that without Detroit techno, electronic dance music would not have developed in the same way that it has (this is different and more measured than saying "no electronic dance music without Detroit")."
since electronic dance music existed before Detroit techno, i do not understand how anyone would ever make that claim. i have never heard anyone make it. name me one person who has.
"2) That certain stylistic elements in Detroit techno may have evolved partly through the influence of the experience of living in Detroit."
wrong. most stylistic elements in TECHNO evolved through the experience of living Detroit culture. almost every aesthetic in any of techno's spawned subgenres was done originally in Detroit, and usually much better than in the later music too.
"This is fair enough, but while I've seen you express some humility w/r/t your capacity to understand scenes other than Detroit techno, this is something that, say, pipecock never does. He has supreme confidence in his capacity to understand and explain jazz/soul/2-step garage/whatever."
jazz and soul are mostly american urban music, why would i not be able to understand them? that is the environment in which i grew up and continue to live. 2-step and jungle were so interesting to me because of their heavy leanings on american music, specifically jazz, hiphop, funk, and soul. i grew frustrated with the bits that didn't make sense to me such as the consistant movement of UK dance music into simplified dark grinding music, and i gave up on them.
i love jamaican music. i know most of the people involved locally in the music who are of Jamaican descent. i know it is not the same as living the culture in Jamaica. there is nothing wrong with continuing to like the music, but i do not feel it would be appropriate to try to make reggae and take credit for it as if it was my own thing. it is not my culture to do that with.
"Thus the gatekeeper role adopted vis a vis detroit techno begins to seem both inconsistent and arrogant, merely an excuse to boast about which producers have slept on one's floor and which epochal DJ sets one was lucky enough to witness. It's that kind of stuff which makes detroit techno pietism difficult to bear sometimes."
so basically you just feel left out? i feel so sorry for you. don't be angry about it, be proactive. go visit detroit.
"I feel my first three points are accurate representations of at least Pipecock's arguments"
especially since you made arguments that not only I have never made, but ones that i have never seen anyone make. so good job on that one.
"'Virtuoso"' is slightly more measurable"
so 500 years ago, before we could measure them, radio waves didn't exist? nor did sound waves? the idea that you can measure everything that is real is pretty ridiculous.
"Whereas 'soul' is supposed to be some trans-stylistic quality that transcends any concrete material quality of the music.
except of course that any fan of soul music would disagree with that.
"So if you abandon 'soul' as the operating principle I think it becomes harder to argue that, say, Omar-S is closer to jazz than he is to Ame."
all you can go by are your ears. i truly do feel sorry for you.
"In terms of Journey In Satchidananda equivs, that seems like Vahid's territory.
Of stuff I do like a lot...Theo Parrish at his most expansive obv (e.g. "Summertime Is Here")... Ian O'Brien? Jacob's Optical Stairway? Pepe Bradock circa 2000? Henrik Schwarz at his deepest (e.g. his remix of Kraak & Smaak)? I've never really had that kind of influence leap out at me when listening to "classic" Detroit techno but I'm willing to provisionally accept that this might be something to do with my ears, maybe I'm not listening for the right thing in that music (just don't tell me that this "thing" is "soul"!!)."
you dont think that Derrick May's work had that kind of influence in it? or Carl Craig's, even from the beginning? seriously man, i don't know what to say. i agree with your other choices here though, they make the influence a little more obvious in sound, but that was something that was there from the beginning. Shake was a huge jazz head, way before he did anything related to techno and he was there from day 1 working with Juan, Derrick, Octave One, etc.
"There's also a logical inconsistency to the notion that one must have spent time discussing techno over dinner with Mills or gone crate digging with a Detroit DJ in order to understand "Detroit's place in techno"."
no one MUST do those things to understand it. but i agree that if people did, there would be far less nonsense being spouted about Detroit dance music.
"Surely the whole reason that Detroit is central to techno is that so many Detroit techno records had a massive impact and influence on people worldwide, the vast majority of whom would never end up going to Detroit, would never have dinner with Mills, would never have go crate-digging in Detroit's record stores. If all those elements had been necessary for Detroit techno to become a causal flashpoint in the development of electronic dance music, Detroit techno would never have taken off as a global phenomenon."
this is pretty obvious. but the problem lies in the fact that cats from the UK and Europe started making records. and in the beginning, they made a lot of good ones. but in time, the newer producers and deejays became less and less influenced by the original music and the sound started to shift into something much less funky and to me, much less interesting. it does not register with me culturally.
in fact, this is something i have been thinking about a little bit more since the discussion on mnmlssgs. i think the problem is that in the US, house and techno culture existed before rave culture. they were their own stand alone cultures with roots and customs. in the UK and Europe, their music was imported and used in a completely foreign culture. you can see the classic Detroit and Chicago deejays discuss this in many of their old interviews. in the UK and Europe, it seems like the rave scene recontextualized techno into something it never was before. there was undoubtedly some reaction to that as rave hit the US, even from within the existing techno and house cultures. but that never really resonated with mostly black urban audiences here and quickly fell out in most cases, and to this day the perception of dance music as "rave" music persists in the US despite that not being its roots at all.
"But ultimately the quality of the music, as with the quality of any music, has to stand and fall with the music itself. And I'd hope that you'd agree Mike that while such extra-musical experiences might be v. important in terms of understanding the socio-historical backstory, they can't be the litmus test for "getting" the music qua music. If they are, then Detroit techno really should have no place in the story of global electronic dance music outside of Detroit itself. That's obviously not the case, so it suggests that there must be something important about these records as records that exists in addition to their evocation of the experience of living in Detroit."
good music is good music, but understanding that music beyond what you hear with your ears is pretty damn important. your ears can mishear things, but when you are culturally conditioned to understand one thing and you are exposed to something else that SOUNDS the same but doesn't FEEL the same, that is going to be painfully obvious.
"I felt similarly when people used to claim that you couldn't really tell if a dubstep record was good or not unless you had heard it over loudspeakers at DMZ. If that is the case, then the music had failed as music on every level except as music-to-be-played-over-the-loudspeakers-at-DMZ. Funnily enough, this argument faded away once dubstep became relatively popular globally..."
despite my reservations about the entire genre of dubstep due to my previous experiences with UK dance music, i don't disbelieve that understanding dubstep is aided greatly by being in its place of origin. you can read a whole bunch about a culture, listen to the records in your house or at your local club, etc etc and still not totally understand it. some things need to be experienced, not analyzed.

"it has nothing to do with location. who ever said that? it has to do with culture. that culture is only located in a very specific location, so if that is what you mean then i guess it is true."
Same thing isn't though. You acknowledge as much when you say "you can get the feeling of the city in the records." Which as far as it goes is fine. Note that I wasn't saying that Detroit techno isn't distinct from other forms of techno, just that the notion it's automatically better than other stuff because of its, er, let's say geo-cultural roots, needs better back-up, and much better back-up than you're providing here. Really the sorts of techno and house that are related to Detroit (from Derrick May to Jeff Mills to ghetto tech to Theo Parrish) are massively diverse, and the notion that all of these nonetheless express some singular central truth about life in Detroit that is massively distinct from similar truths about life in other cities strikes me as really difficult to maintain. For example, Detroit techno strikes me as incredibly aspirational in mood; ghetto tech is the exact opposite - sure both musics can say things about the experience of being working class in Detroit, but the things they're saying are quite different.
I'm happy to accept that Detroit has been an incredibly fertile creative breeding ground for all sorts of producers of house and techno. And yes, the concentration of talent is deeply impressive. But talent calls to talent, and surely the very fact of moving in the same circles as other Detroit techno and house producers is as important if not more important than this whole spirit of the streets thing.
"jazz and soul are mostly american urban music, why would i not be able to understand them? that is the environment in which i grew up and continue to live. 2-step and jungle were so interesting to me because of their heavy leanings on american music, specifically jazz, hiphop, funk, and soul. i grew frustrated with the bits that didn't make sense to me such as the consistant movement of UK dance music into simplified dark grinding music, and i gave up on them."
So you'd accept me saying you fundamentally don't "get" jungle or 2-step and telling you to STFU about them? Would it be similarly legitimate for someone to say Detroit techno interested them insofar as it took cues from Kraftwerk, but went bad when it moved away from that?
"trying to define what creates that feeling is difficult, i am not sure that it is exactly possible to pinpoint it. really though, if you go to Detroit it all starts to make more sense, and the more time you spend there the more it makes sense. "
How convenient.
"i do not agree that everything about music can be analyzed scientifically. it has nothing to do with your brain, it has to do with how it FEELS. and if you can suddenly explain feeling and how it works, i am sure there are a bunch of scientists who would like to know exactly how to do that."
Ha ha you don't think there isn't a lot of scientific work in this area? Lots of people devote their entire careers to this sort of thing. And no, I don't pretend to analyse it scientifically, but it's not just a choice between science and religion you know.
"ahhhh, now things are starting to make sense to me."
Well the last time I spoke to Pete he was stoked that you were writing something for the blog. I told him he was barking up the wrong tree and he defended you pretty massively.
"you dont think that Derrick May's work had that kind of influence in it? or Carl Craig's, even from the beginning? seriously man, i don't know what to say. i agree with your other choices here though, they make the influence a little more obvious in sound, but that was something that was there from the beginning."
So impliedly the link with jazz is not "obvious in sound" in most Detroit techno? Then why stress it so much, apart from the cultural cache such an analogy might provide? Why should people need to be told that Anthony Shakir is a huge jazzhead (although actually with the Shake stuff I know I can here it). Anyway I can hear some nods to jazz in a lot of first gen Detroit techno, just not enough that it's the first thing that springs to mind when I'm listening to Derrick May or whatever.
"since electronic dance music existed before Detroit techno, i do not understand how anyone would ever make that claim. i have never heard anyone make it. name me one person who has."
I wasn't attributing that opinion to you, although fair enough I guess it almost reads that way. i've heard and read many people claim this at least in relation to dance music that could be defined as "post-techno" (e.g. jungle, IDM, "hardcore" in the broad sense etc.), which is what i meant, though I expressed it sloppily I'll agree. You may agree with that more carefully worded version perhaps.
"so basically you just feel left out? i feel so sorry for you. don't be angry about it, be proactive. go visit detroit."
I don't feel left out, pipecock, I just think you make the whole experience of being connected to Detroit and the Detroit techno scene sound like a hideously empty thing, with no purpose other than to shore up your own ego. But I'm positive that that says more about you than it does about Detroit. To his credit, Mike hardly namedrops at all.
"so 500 years ago, before we could measure them, radio waves didn't exist? nor did sound waves? the idea that you can measure everything that is real is pretty ridiculous."
So you're claiming that soul is something scientific now?
"this is pretty obvious. but the problem lies in the fact that cats from the UK and Europe started making records. and in the beginning, they made a lot of good ones. but in time, the newer producers and deejays became less and less influenced by the original music and the sound started to shift into something much less funky and to me, much less interesting. it does not register with me culturally."
I'd like more specificity here pipecock. Like, does French house occur before or after the flight from Eden?
"good music is good music, but understanding that music beyond what you hear with your ears is pretty damn important. your ears can mishear things"
Personally I place my trust in my ears and then look for extra-musical information that can better explain what it is that my ears are hearing. Anything else just seems like asking to be indoctrinated.

To hear people criticizing others for their music having no soul is disheartening. All music has the soul of its creator within it, and the environment from whence it came is there through osmosis. Its not about who slept on who's floor, and who knew who. The man who's track record consists of the sleeping on someone's sofa should be reticent about the criticizing of the creator of a piece of music. The piece of music has more soul than the sleeping on a floor
Its not about who you knew. Its about what you make yourself. This music comes from Sofia Detroit Dusseldorf Lyon Accra Rangoon and Lima, it always has it always will.

Listen to the music you make yourself you can hear it there too. Lets not talk of who stayed on our sofas. Lets not talk of dinner. Lets talk only of great music and how it inspires us in the making of our own music and in other things and remember what it is we love.
To criticize the creation of something is one thing, to say it is without soul is perhaps the most heinous of insults

I mean seriously......Omar S to Ame to fucking Tiesto, any music deserves better than this, treat it with the magic and passion it deserves if you actually have the time to spend all day talking about it online.
God knows I currently don't but everybody needs to. If you have information, share it, make it as accessible as possible, spread it, talk about it, bring it to people. It's really fucking grim reading around the net at the moment.

For me, the notions of authenticity and purity that are being alluded to and assigned to Detroit techno above are wrong-headed. Like culture more generally, all specific scenes and genres of music are influenced by a myriad of different sources, and in turn go on to influence other types of music. To say that any one type of music is "pure" and that subsequent related genres are somehow degraded or bastardised is to kind of miss the point.
These may be truisms, but worth repeating I think.

ok so i listened to contact special again and it is excellent so i need to amend my comment upthread.
the narrative arc is abduction/levitation/lift-off (first half or so) followed by struggle, inquisitiveness and finally, a kind of acceptance or contentment (not acquiescence). the music is mostly economical mills (if you want to talk comme des garçons, rei kawakubo's mottos are "strength" and "never repeat yourself"; mills' might also be strength and a kind of refinement through repetition and deep knowledge of his reduced musical tools.) the sonic palette is is mostly 909s and trademark millsian synth leads (the phrasal stuff i gush about), but there are a few housier cuts/cut-ups. nothing feels as willfully portentous as some of the soundtrack work and the album does really flow together contrary to my "it would work better as the singles" comment. it would have been exciting to collect the singles as there's a kind of chapter aspect to the flow.

This review of Sonar over at FACT FACT amused me. Proves that the Detroit camp are capable of spouting just as much bull as Richie and his minus cohorts:
The other big deal on the first proper Sónar by Night was M—nus Records presents Contakt. I’m not sure anyone who wasn’t actively involved knew everything that was going on, but the basic premise was that Magda, Gaiser, Troy Pierce, Mark Houle and Heartthrob rotated between their laptops, a bit like when you played round the world table tennis at school, and Richie Hawtin made new tunes up from different bits of their tunes on his cube. It was total Computer World, a bit like when Hot Chip make the songs up in front of you, but a thousand times more grandiose, space age and camp, right down to the outfits in the promo shots. Compare it to Jeff Mills and Mike Banks the next night, whose X-102 return was billed as ‘a conceptual tour de force which explores all the aspects of this mysterious planet (Saturn), including its rings and moons, at the classic co-ordinates of UR’ and actually resulted in a guff performance (Mills reckons that for electronic music to develop ‘we need to stop dancing, it gets in the way’), and it’s clear which techno luminary's having more fun with his vast amounts of spare time.

its a pretty good representation of a fair portion of the scene. Young people are into rap music and juke stuff, a lot faster bpms, or R&B. That said - when they would do free shows in grant park for summerdance, you would get a good cross section, a decent number of kids (as in actual children, they were all-ages events), a lot of latino teenagers, scatterings of white 20-40somethings and then the demographic from that video, like 30-50 yr old black ppl.

young people tend to listen to the absolute worst crap out there, except for about once every 20 years or so when they actually get it right. and even then, the music they like is usually made by people older than them. fuck young people.

Fair enough.
As for the force tracks 12", the place I usually get my used records has it, and I've been meaning (and have actually had it in my hand ready to take to the cash register more than once) for like half a year. I always seem to find something at the last minute that I prefer, though. Great deep techno, though.

i am in the unfortunate position of both having a sister who is 22 and being in school with many 18-22 year olds. i know exactly what young kids listen to, and it is some bullshit. of course when i was that age, almost everyone i knew was listening to bullshit as well.
you can come up with your 19 year olds who listen to jamal moss, but it doesnt change my point: i don't feel the need to have my musical taste justified by some young kid who doesn't know shit. if kids want to be down, there is nothing stopping them. but to try to cater towards them is pretty stupid, and worthless. i would rather people who have opinions that don't change with the weather and who have a good knowledge of music and experience listening to many things be into dance music.

i don't disagree. i just don't see the input and participation of young people as anything that will change house and techno music. if anything, the transient nature of their taste will serve to hype it up temporarily, then leave it for dead when they move on. i don't think that will help things at all, really.

if they want to like good music and be down, that is fine with me. i just think that waiting for some youth movement to inject the scene with energy is a waste of time. i think that an older crowd has been what has kept dance music alive and well in most US cities.

All right, pipecock, you clarified yourself a bit, and I now understand what you're getting at-- waiting or hoping for some sort of youth injection into the movement IS kind of idiotic. At the same time, though, I think that you dismiss a bit too easily-- a lot of kids who are into house and techno might leave it a few years from now, when they get married nd move to some tony condo in Carroll Gardens. But another group of kids-- in addition to most older people who are in the scene-- got into techno and house when they were young and have stayed, or have never left.
Thus, while your argument is a sensible one, simply dismissing all young kids who are into house or techno is not only alienating to them, but is also incredibly short-sighted-- you were once an 18-year-old freaking out to "Detroit Classics and Techno Diamonds," too.

love this story about armando KEVIN STARKE: "There was this one story that I always talk about. I would go on Saturday nights when Armando played at the Warehouse. I would go down there to watch him play and talk to him, just find out information on records. He'd always show me records when I didn't know what it was.
"Saturday night at the Warehouse was primarily a black night. There weren't too many white guys. But I remember this - he looked at me one night, and said, 'Watch this. This is the record I'm going to play and mess these guys up.' And he showed me the record: 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana. I'm thinking, oh, they're never going to dance to this. They're going to get pissed!
"These people lost their minds. People went fucking nuts. That guitar riff - people were dancing all crazy. That's when I kind of looked at it like, okay, never say you can only play this kind of music at this kind of a club. Never say this type of people only like this type of music. You never know. Once you've got the crowd, they're yours."

This is one of the most beautiful albums of the 21th century. It has the soul comparable with the great Marvin Gaye, the smoothnes and intensity of Miles Davis, the funkyness of Prince and the groovieness of, well Larry Heard himself, when he was at his peak, back in the early 90's. "Missing You", "Until the last goodbye" and "Praise" are among the finest work Larry Heard ever made, and are three of the most beautiful songs of the century. "Dew drops" is a funky little number made with some nice sounding analogue synthesizers. "Riverside drive" and "Direct drive" takes you back to the 80's sound of Manchester and Ibiza. I know that a lot of people missed this record when it came out, thinking that Larry Heard never again could repeat the soulful intensity of his earlier work, so please do yourselves a favour and get this record and start believing again...

i would say it wasn't bad but it sounded ... extremely smoothed-out. i like the subtle differences between "introduction", "sceneries not songs", "ice castles / sns2", "alien", "dance 2000" etc. "love's arrival" sounded like you threw all those in a pot and blended together over heat until it turned tasteless.

Whoa. Listen to the "experimental dance track" on this page: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7512072.stm
by Delia Derbyshire, the BBC Radio Workshop programmer of the Dr. Who theme. I don't know if this is from the '60s or not, but if it is, it certainly complicates the question of techno's "origins." As a movement, it may have been born in Detroit, but this is further proof of the diverse array of the roots of the structure itself...

I remember one of the booklets that came with those early 90s Volume compilations had a humourous article about origins of different electronic music genres, and the entry for "techno" read something like, "created while composing the soundtrack for the Original Dr Who series".

How was I to know there were TWO different versions of this, and alas, I got the richie one not the brinkmann one I wanted :( Had I known I'd have gotten the remaster which has them both anyways.
In other news, after seeing Mossa's live set at Mutek, I spent weeks trying to find out what this track was (in awe of the fact that in 08 he could make such a great sounding 90's pop-house epic).

Playboy just arrived, and it is some of the heaviest shit I've heard in a while. The original is floor-shaking, and the 'Outside Expedition' mix is totally wild tribal techno.

Also can I get a S/D on what for lack of a more descriptive term I will call 'monologue house'. Not just vocal (read proper singing and rhyming and all, or hip-house). Stuff in the vein of Le Roi and Roland Clarke - Get Deep. Old or new. *I heard a track out a few weeks ago that was great, but can't at all remember how it went, a guy with a kind of slurry delivery not too unlike eric sermon, said something about brooklyn, and at some point answered a cell phone (which I guess means probably from 00's) and laughed.

i went through my armando discovery period beginning last year this time and he spent like nine months as my absolute favorite house producer. you should definitely check out this hip-house track he did as the chicago bad boy. like most hip-house, the mc is no rakim allah, but it's got a MURDEROUS bassline that everyone will rock to, and then the synthesizer begins... house music all night long!

armando's music is criminally hard to find though. he made 4 lps for trax in the 90s that are out of print and offline. as far as i can tell, they're only available on some dodgy russian mp3 sites, if you have a credit card you don't mind canceling immediately after use. if not, you might be able to find the trax classix cd sampler on slsk. there is still a whole lot of his catalogue that i'm still searching after though.

was waiting for someone to revive this thread.
i've been buying alot of george morel records recently, love how his best tracks just streamline these perfect grooves and do little more than bring in a sample or two, or transpose the bassline or something. he mixes really well with recent stuff.
also on a strictly rhythm tip got "witch doktor" by armand van helden which is fucking awesome - such a ridiculous, stupid track! ditto the hardrive ep with deep deep inside on, every track is just great. strictly rhythm releases must've been great value for money
can we talk about the fk1 ep by francois k? i knew him well for his 80s remix work and all that but slept on his 90s house stuff for ages. anyway, i've had this for a few months now but still can't stop playing it. every track on this ep is a work of genius. the track that samples the kecak monkey chant has some astonishing mixing going on, no wonder violator sounds so incredible. i initially though that "hypnodelic" and "mindspeak" were pretty standard up-front detroit-y house tracks, but again after listening more carefully the stereo mix is practically alive with ear candy. the best track is "moov" which is some of the most beautiful melodic dreamy techno i have ever heard, it has a very epic yet understated feel, and again the production and sound design is brilliant.

That would require not being horribly shy and terrified of actually taking the initiative to do so. Such is life.
I was thinking of BPD (the real#1 to me) not long ago, after hearing their new single (the one with the Robert hood remixes); it's a beaut. (I must say, though, that whole period from Spanners through to, well, whenever they started sounding like they did at the beginning of the 90's just puts a bad taste in my mouth, and certainly so with Plaid (fandago, OTM). "Trainer" was big-time seriously foundational record for me, and Bytes was not far behind it in terms of personal importance).
― Their time's limited, hard rocks, too (mehlt), Saturday, 18 October 2008 01:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Hmm, I LOVE Spanners. "Psil-Cosyin" is sometimes my favourite Black Dog track. So kaleidoscopic.
What don't you like, mehlt? Is it the allusions to Orb/Ultramarine-style "atmosphere" ("Chase The Manhattan" etc.)?
The early stuff is awesome too obv, but for me the whole trajectory up to Spanners feels like the trio learning how to push and push and push at the wiredness of their grooves. I guess a counter-argument is that Spanners introduces stuff that sounds like a lot "straighter" and rather like a lot of the other IDM from the era (and Plaid Mk II continued to push that more syncretist sound), but I think they get the balance right on that album - a whole disc of "Psil-Cosyin"-style tracks would be exhausting...
― Tim F, Saturday, 18 October 2008 04:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, I guess it's the abandoning of their Detroit via Sheffield sound they started out with in favour of what would eventually be more like what Plaid sounds like. Indeed the grooves got weirder and more experimental, sound design improved, but not necessarily for the better to me at least - too many ideas packed into too little space. Something about it just doesn't mesh well I find, doesn't keep my attention and moreover doesn't make me feel as much as, say, "The Clan (Mongol Hordes)" does.
Also, where's the love for Reload here? How I need a copy of A Collection of Short Stories. . .

Good stuff too, Perlon, Trapez, Kompakt, Force Inc and several more quality labels are cited. It's 2 days later and dude hasn't emailed me back. The suspense is killing me, not to mention worrying about how buying 500 records at once is going to change my life (not necessarily for the better) as I'm the type who needs to listen to an album/record straight, even if it's 500 at once.

― sam500, Friday, 12 December 2008 04:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Supposedly, my worrying about buying a bunch of records has caused me to fail to recognize more serious problems, and as such I need to volunteer at a soup kitchen so I can see how trivial they are.
I think the fact you didn't even see a "problem" is much more telling than my getting worked up above.

Admittedly I've been having unprecedented bouts of anxiety and mood swings lately, on top of being a very defensive and kind of paranoid person, which probably makes me look like the asshole (not to say there is an asshole here, but comments like the above, which are generally lazy and cheap attacks, irritate the hell out of me for a number of reasons).
My lack of Christmas spirit, however, is probably due to not being Christian. I don't know what a monorail cat is.

Gees, I am going to spend 500 on music this month but I don't know if I can handle it because having so many records is going to make my life so difficult.

I shouldn't have put it the way I did, I feel bad about it now. It would have been a lot more constructive to simply say that in the grand scheme of things this collection isn't something to get worked up over. If it works out great, and if not, it isn't that big of a deal.

Considering the general tenor of the times(just when you think things can't get worse, they do...), being worried about a stack of records seems and then going out of your way to find problems with said stack seems a bit much.
TS: losing your entire life vs the problems associated with a cheap stack of records.
Be thankful that you are warm and that there is food on the table. You should consider yourself blessed that you can even think about spending money on music much less 500 dollars in the span of a month. I shouldn't have been so harsh but it blows my mind that you could go out of your way to find negatives in the situation.

Fight! Fight! Fight!
Theres negatives in every situation. And while some surely eclipse and trivialize others, that doesn't mean that those negatives aren't there. I generally believe suffering is relative (don't get me wrong, this is NOT a justification of worrying about this as opposed to other things). By the same logic everyone who spends their time here complaining about bad music or the death of vinyl or whatever are wasting their time not worrying about the financial crisis, and then they're wasting it by not worrying about the homeless, and then not worrying about Sudan. . .A few months ago someone used roughly the same attack on me because I had the audacity to ask why people find new episodes of The Simpsons funny.
I don't particularly want to argue about it, certainly not here (although I guess it beats reading vinyl vs. digital debates any day of the week).

I posted this question in the "identify this tune" thread with no answer, but maybe the folks in this thread might know the answer...
Back in the 90's I saw a video on MTV, and I've never seen or heard it again. It had a house beat, on top of which a black guy did the famous monologue (don't know who originally wrote it): "When you're born, you're pink. When you're sick, you're green. When you're scared, you're white. When you're embarrassed, you're red... [And so on]. When I'm born, I'm black. When I'm sick, I'm black. When I'm scared, I'm black. When I'm embarrassed, I'm black... [etc.] And you have the guts to call me colored?!"
Does anyone know what tune this is? Also, can you tell me where this monologue originally comes from, because I've definitely heard it somewhere else too?

That's great to see.
Other highlights of those 27 records I got a few weeks ago, which have reminded me of my love for capital M Minimal techno:
Mikael Stavostrand - Reduce (2XLP - missing two of the bigger tracks on the CD, I believe).
Itial by Alex Cortex - OK, but makes me curious to find other stuff he's done, so RFI, please.
And I bought Street Knowledge by Tobias, the other 3 non-titular tracks being surprisingly better than the much more ballyhooed Street Knowledge. Never cared for Tobias/NSI (actually, I straight up disliked most stuff by him) but this is really great.

I have this, but I haven't listened to it for years. From what I remember it's a pretty hard and kicking and somewhat technoish house album. Not too different from general mid-90s Eurohouse, but not a bad album either. I'd say it's worth the 5$ for "Tokyo Stealth Fighter" alone, which is a pretty great, stripped-down club banger.

sadly, the pressing on the main street stuff ain't so hot -- at least, not on round two, "new day." i actually asked moritz about that in an interview a couple of weeks back, and he said that they had that record pressed in chicago (or detroit, but i think chicago), and the poor result was part of the inspiration for starting up D+M.
amazing fucking tune, though.

The original pressings of Basic Channel related records were cut by Ron Murphy at NSC and pressed at Archer in Detroit.

Finally picked this up on cd yesterday after years of having it on tape: http://www.discogs.com/Derrick-Carter-The-Many-Shades-Of-Cajual/release/244917
The review by the guy on discogs sums it up perfectly. What a great mix. So nice to hear dj's taking risks - not sure if you could replicate the excitement DC does here using Ableton... but anyway.
― sam500, Monday, 8 June 2009 05:08 (fourteen years ago) link
It really is the best mix
― sous les paves, Monday, 8 June 2009 05:22 (fourteen years ago) link
working on a new mix...mostly 2000s era minimal bobbins right now, tho starts out with something new.
Dirk Lamprecht- Jack Agnes- Meg White (this track never fails to make me swoon)Alex Under- D (all about the last couple minutes here, with those thundering chords and backward churning)Minilogue- Bird Song (wish this one didn't peter out towards the end, but beautiful nonetheless)D'Julz- Flick It! (D3 Mix) (original is kinda mediocre, remix is lush and slamming)
going into a bit more heady territory soon (GEZ VARLEY), but still keeping with an older minimal vibe...

I really liked "Pelargonium" back in the 1990s, so I got the album it's on, I think it was called Fog and Lights or something? Wasn't too impressed by it back then, I thought sounded a bit too smooth and nice. It's been 10+ years since I last listened to his stuff though, maybe should give it a new try?
― Tuomas, Sunday, 21 June 2009 12:10 (fourteen years ago) link
In and out of fog and lights is great, I think this and the 'In Neutral' album put out around the same time were on a driving theme.

(I'm not much for the rave stuff, but I keep a copy of Dead Eye in my crate)
http://www.thedailyswarm.com/swarm/eon-rip/
Legendary ‘rave’ producer Eon, a.k.a. Ian Loveday, passed away Wednesday, June 17, from complications with pneumonia. He was one of the first producers to gain popularity amongst the late-80s/early-90s rave scene with hits like “Spice” and “Fear the Mind Killer”, the sound being a link between early techno and modern breakbeat.
As Eon, his tracks made their way to early 90s pirate radio stations in London, and then out on vinyl through small labels like BAAD and Vinyl Solution. He would release his most well-known tracks on the seminal album, ‘Void Dweller’ in 1992 at the height of the spread of modern dance music in the US. ‘Void Dweller’, with the hit ‘Spice’ owing its recognizable hook to a sample from David Lynch’s movie “Dune”, was one of the first major label releases, on Columbia, for producers in the burgeoning rave scene.
His work saw release on numerous labels over the years, including Hooj Toons and XL Recordings. In ‘93 he teamed up with fellow British acid pioneer Peter ‘Baby’ Ford, producing many classic tracks including ‘Dead Eye’ which would eventually be released as a single on Richie Hawtin’s Plus 8 label. Loveday would go on to release under his Minimal Man moniker up until just before his death.
Eon performed live at Fabric and on Radio One over the years, and worked with producers like Mark Moore (S’Express) and Marcus J Knight. Most recently, he had been busy in the studio with long time collaborator Baby Ford on some new projects.

so, because the Gemini stuff has been killing me so hard, i went on a hunt...and jesus: http://www.5chicago.com/features/april2009/sign-of-the-gemini.html.
Gemini is nowhere to be found.
For many years, there have been rumors circulating about what happened to Spencer. He made a well-publicized move to the Bay Area prior to 2000, giving Chicago - or at least some people in the industry back home - a kiss-off with the acrid track "Swimmin' Wit' Sharks". And so far as anyone knows what happened, that's when something went terribly, terribly wrong.
Gemini was back in Chicago not long after, minus his studio equipment, his DJ gear, or any visible means of support. To the few he encountered, he didn't seem himself. He cut almost all ties, even with people who had known him for years. On one occasion when he was recognized, he vowed revenge on a couple of well-known Chicago House Music producers who he claimed had stolen his music from a laptop. At the time, according to someone who talked with him, he was panhandling - staying in an SRO when he had a good day, a shelter when he didn't.
What had gone wrong? Spencer was still giving interviews as late as 2001, but within a year or two, it all ended. No more tracks, no more gigs, and lifelong friends worried that something was seriously wrong. They couldn't do more than worry: most of them have never seen him again.

When you mentioned him upthread, I checked his Discogs entry and was kinda wondering why he'd stopped releasing stuff after 2000. It's sad to hear what's happened to him, hopefully he will get better eventually.
― Tuomas, Monday, 6 July 2009 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link
Shit, I had no idea. I was enjoying his 'In And Out Of Fog And Lights' on Peacefrog just the other day.

it is a totally wild and sad story. he turned 40 about a month ago, apparently, though no one knows if he's even alive? :(

Table's comment upthread made me listen to that album for the first time in years... It was better than what I remembered, and "Pelargonium" still kicks ass. Such a pretty and peaceful groove.

Not sure why I hadn't heard it yet since I really loved "Magic M", but "Disco Bus" by Aquilina & Venturi is rocking it for me right now. It's got the same glitchy vocal gimmick that's worked so well for CvS and Aju.

it was adonis. dj t wanted him to do a remix back in 2004 or so, he told me they managed to track down adonis after months and months and he was working at burger king, they gave him an advance to do the mix but it never came through and they lost track of him again. some say on quiet nights when there's a full moon you can still hear a whisper on the wind: "too far gone, ain't no way back"

i used to love "Never Lost His Hardcore" i remember local rave djs used to use it to transition from the techno part of their sets into jungle. listening now, it sounds like a hyped up C+C Music Factory.
― myndbloom, Thursday, 12 November 2009 20:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, I'll be able to listen to stuff there. I'll probably get the Joey Beltram one, and def. check out the Mike Dunn/Polygon Window/Age of Love stuff, depends on how much of a deals I can get (I'm so used to paying $2 for craigslist records, of course none of them have been The Climax or Original Joey Beltram pressings or the like).
Thanks, all, for the help.

robotman do da doo plastikman remix is brilliant, not least that my copy has hawtin's dad masquerading as the mysterious "robotman" on the sleeve. srsly, tho, it's a tune and a half.

― Tuomas, Friday, 13 November 2009 18:55 (fourteen years ago) link
From EDB list (Thursday 12 Nov), I'd put forward as absolutely essential the following:
ABSOLUTELY VITAL:Joey Beltram - Beltram Vol1 [includes Energy Flash – original pressing] – R&S Records ( The greatest Techno Track Of All Time )
Dave Clarke – Red 2 [original pressing on red vinyl] – Bush ( big classic visceral, immense machine funk that still sounds great. You'll have heard this alot already. You'll need a warehouse to make this actually work though. As for Red 1 - yeah, but not personally that into it. Red 2 and Southside are my favourite Dave Clarke workz, Southside for the disco inflections.)
WORTH IT FOR $5.00 or less:
System 7 – Alpha Wave (Plastikman’s Acid House mix) – Big Life (This basically is one of the finest examples of early 90s trance/techno/acid - the last 5 minutes is a monster 303 frenzy. Fuck, I can smell the vicks and see the lazerz just by listening to 30secs of this track. Its pretty fucking immense. But really - who dances to this kind of stuff these day?? Also in terms of Hawtins acid stuff from this time, I prefer this to the Robotman Do Da Doo remix whose vocal "Got to do the do" really grates me, but structurally they're the same. I always thought of the Do Da Doo remix as an Acperience clone, whilst the System 7 mix is more unique)
Orbital – Lush (Psycick Warrriors of Gaia and CJ Bolland remixes) – Internal (worth it for the long, very sparse, slow build of the Psychick Warriors mix aka Lush 3-4)
Polygon Window – Quoth – Warp
Robert Armani – The Remixes [includes Circus Bells Hardfloor remix) – Djax (Hardfloor innit - seminal; doo doo doo de doo. de doo doo doo de doo. de doo doo doo de doo looped and each pitched and squeelling higher and higher. )
KNOCK HIM DOWN TO $1.00:And these two have a kind of historical relevance, but I'd bargain for them to thrown in as freebies:
The Age of Love – The Age of Love – Radikal (NB: The Jam & Spoon Watch Out For Stella Mix is the one to go for)
Rabbit in the Moon – Phases of an Out of Body Experience - Hardkiss
AVOID:I'd avoid Barbarella – Barbarella – Harthouse - it hasn't aged well.
― Tannenbaum Schmidt, Saturday, 14 November 2009 01:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Well, I own a copy of the Climax, which is definitely the most (physically) beautiful record I own. Not to mention an original pressing of Beltram Vol 1, the Doo Da Doo Remixes, and a very pleasant surprise, a copy of Altered States :)
You're right about Red 2, though, it's a banger, and would kill in a warehouse or dingy basement, but dude was charging more than I'd have expected for it, so...
― EDB, Wednesday, 18 November 2009 02:49 (fourteen years ago) link
That Rabbit In The Moon 12" is about 25-40 bucks on Discogs.com. Those Hardkiss records continue to go up in price too. I'd get that one for sure.

HEY GUYZ.
after some searching, it seems that Spencer Kincy AKA Gemini had been filing Torts/wrongful injury claims against the Department of Defense, the CIA, and the US government as late as September 2008.
so he's probably still alive, somewhere in Chicago.

yeah. i mean, if he's still alive and filing what probably amount to specious, schizinspired suits against the government, he at least has enough presence of mind to FILE those suits in the first place. which means he might have enough presence of mind to allow someone to put out a discography of his amazing amazing work, as long as he gets credit and $$$.

Jay Danham is a weird dude. He was right there for the second wave and then he got sucked into crappy hard techno as the 90's progressed.

― anita bonghit (rionat), Sunday, 31 January 2010 01:13 (fourteen years ago) link
I couldn't tell you to be honest. I don't own any of the Bango records.
It is so easy to find digital versions of old dance vinyl that you might as well dig around for the whole catalog and figure out what you want. Fragile was a good label, definitely worth looking into.
Retroactive was pretty bananas label as well. A lot of it is rare as hens teeth and super expensive, but it is really good. Carl Craig ran it with Damon Booker before Carl split to run Planet E. The Placid Angles record is dope early John Beltran shit, Carl Craig's stuff was good, Mark Kichen's record was dope, and the Inertia record was some of Gerald Simpson's best deep techno stuff.
I posted it up thread, but if you are into the early breakbeat stuff that wasn't corny, you might want to look into this record:
http://www.discogs.com/Intelligent-Communication-Principles-Of-Motion-EP/release/98217
It is still stupid cheap because nobody knows what it is yet, but it is really good. It is one of those records that is just waiting to be dropped by the right name and it will be worth a lot more. I think when ambient house comes back it will be fashionable again.

I don't think it sounds that different from other proto techno/house stuff from the early 80s and late 70s (like E2-E4 or "Rock Groove Machine" by the J.B.'s) that it should be considered a fake. The only suspicious bit is that he seems to have discovered the acid sound in TB-303 way before DJ Pierre & co, but since they came up with it by just fiddling with the machine, it's not inconceivable someone else discovered it and put it on record before them.
― Tuomas, Monday, 5 April 2010 22:49 (fourteen years ago) link
spot on Tuomas.
I'll admit, I was ecstatic when I found out about this a week ago, especially as it seems like the obvious sideways move that would have occurred amongst the composers working within Bollywood's disco obesssion in the early 1980s.
Checkout this Nazia Hassan (produced by Biddhu) track, also from 1982, which is a solid, faithful rework of Moroder/Summer's I Feel Love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ead-K_q5QNs&feature=related
There's a whole bunch of these tracks I've been slowly collecting - each playing with the imported disco-sound (someday, I'll write a piece on my Hiniditalo obsession); so no surprise that disco in India when detached from the song/vocal-led form gave way to tracky house/acid - just like elsewhere.

While we're talking about proto acid house, check out this tune:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udS9seorVz4
It's from 1979, so obviously it doesn't have an 303, but the way the squelchy, modulating synth is played throughout the whole song certainly sounds like what acid house producers did with the 303 later on. The album this is on (Groove Machine by The J.B.'s) has a proto house vibe all over: it's all about the steady 4/4 beat and relentless groove, and the vocals and horns on it just repeat the same short lines over and over again, without variation, as if they were samples. (I assume that in some cases they actually are samples, i.e. they just recorded one bit and looped it over and over with whathever technology producers were using back then.) When I first heard that record I couldn't believe it was from 1979. So I was wondering, besides being the godfathers of funk and rap, should we credit James Brown and The J.B.'s for laying the seeds for house too?

I had never heard Hanna (warren harris) before this week and I have been enjoying his track from 2003 "about you" a lot. I wonder if the album is good too, it doesn't seem to be for sale in mp3 format which is a shame. I wonder how much a record player would cost I don't really have room for one unfortunately but I guess I could keep it in a cupboard and bring it out when i need to digitize vinyl
Also been loving the kenny larkin mix of eddie flashin fowlkes 'deep pit' ever since I heard prosumer play it a few weeks ago

Yes.. totally with you on the love for Jonah Sharp. I was listening to the follow up to Emit Ecaps, Double Fine Zone, only yesterday. It's not as great as the EE though. The original Reagenz with Move D comes from a time when I was really starting to get into electronic dance music. Move D's music in the 90s, to my ears, was so much more creative than the Move D of late. Kunststoff still blows my mind. The remixes of Emit Ecaps (called Remit Recaps) has good mixes from Carl Craig and Herbert.

impressive haul! that conway brothers thing is cool. i had a pretty good haul myself this weekend, got an erik erickson single on fragile, a gerald mitchell thing on 420 west, a bunch of shut up and dance singles, a couple of things on compass, jams in the key of smack by polarius, red planet 02 and some other stuff i can't remember
the best thing i got was the x-ray record on transmat. can't believe i slept on this for so long, "untitled" is incredible

the mixes of "let's go" on that record sound very much of 1986, but it's crazy how years ahead "untitled" sounds

That X-Ray record is tight, nice find!
I don't know what to think of those Compass records. They were really hyped back in the day and Hawtin in particular used to really champion them. I have come across a handful of them recently and I just can't get into them. I don't think they are horrible, it is just that there wasn't much going in them musically, the drums weren't that funky, and they just seem really tooly.
I am not attacking you, they just don't do much for me.
You ever get into any of those Unit 2 singles on 430 West?

i've got the one they put out on happy records (somehow it's a bargain bin mainstay around here). i'll check that one out though, thanks
i like a lot of stuff on cabinet, especially when it sounds like it's beginning to feed into the early perlon sound (i read somewhere that zip is also a big fan). but it's a pretty recent discovery for me and i have to get to know the records more, nothing has really blown me away like stuff on say, trelik has for example

Yeah, but the thing is their their listening station is such a thrown together setup that everything sounded like it had been dragged across the interstate. A few of these were admittedly marked down accordingly, but otherwise, I wasn't looking for a record of scratching and popping that happens to have a robert owens track underneath, etc.

Additions to a best of Rheji and Ronald Burrell list:
BME Project - Dancing Through The Night. Great song, basically pop. Could've been a radio hit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_og4n-ldP4
Houz Neegroz - How do you love a black woman.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Rwd8F7BOEU
Houz Neegroz - All night long. Sadly, this isn't online, but it is worth the search. More upbeat than the last one.
Grey Areas - Fire. This is pretty simple. Just a riff, basic house beat, vocal sample... for the perfect groove. The Burrells could be about as musical as any of the great house producers of that era but they could also do simple things.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybBnj7UxL4U
Metro - Journey Through The NY Underground EP. One of their several NYC theme records, this is pretty dark and rough sounding. Not that different from the subway, I guess. Looks like this is the same record as $1.15 but with 2 more tracks. Straphanger is scary sexy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvVm1utlnAs
NY House'n Authority (best name ever or what?) - Restoration / Renovation EP. Theme record about urban renewal. I wouldn't say that any tracks stand out too much but it's solid Rheji.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANFdVfy-CJU
NY House'n Authority featuring Burrell LP. Kind of a crappy LP to buy because there's 5 songs on each side, but good luck finding the CD. One side has vocal tracks with 5 different vocalists. Not my flavor. The other side has 5 instrumental tracks, each about NYC landmarks (including the WTC). They're all great. As good as any of the Burrell NY theme EPs. Varied styles, moods, sounds. This one might be the best:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezN0MSemeTc
Phase II - Reachin' (NY Mix). A smooth NY Rheji mix of the bombastic NJ classic. Worth the search if you want to chill with Phase II.
Tech Trax Inc - Tech Trax Inc. Song about itself, embracing the spacey Detroit influence that so much of this NY stuff showed. It builds and builds, and the melodies are as good as any that came from the Burrells. And one big wormy bassline.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xb7Wo065MQ
Utopia Project - File #3. Techy track in the same vein as Tech Trax Inc, this one has an AMAZING bassline. Great for mixing the bassline over something else and then waiting for the chords to wash in. Especially new stuff, because no one does drums like this anymore. When people hear them, they know it's on.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUkiaB26BP8

I really rate the John Acquavia x-mix (bizarrely coupled with a Hawtin mix on the same disc - also good but I prefer his Mixmag Live). This was a time when prog house and techno could happily exist side by side - top stuff.

Hello - I'm interested in delving more into non-rave, non-electro early-techno stuff. I know the names - Kevin Saunderson, James Stinson, Jeff Mills, Drexciya etc - but not the releases. Basically I want to know more about the stuff Azari & III, Soul Clap and Art Department are getting their ideas from. Also, the kind of sound that informed The Other People Place album.
I've got a bunch of things - couple of compilations including Flux Tracks, Warp Classics, Soul Jazz' Acid. But what else should I get?

I don't know what most of those new references are, but you can look for the original compilations. Techno: The New Dance Sound of Detroit and Techno 2, as well as the Transmat comp, Relics. Warp Classics but also Warp Influences, different volumes.

― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Thursday, 3 March 2011 23:05 (thirteen years ago) link
I bought the iTunes version. It all SOUNDS great but maybe a bit too demo-ish. A bit boring at times. Some tracks using similar or same sounds as the released stuff. Sometimes the stripped down/demo quality is good, and some of the stuff w/ minimal vocals is cool, but definitely not something I want to pay a million dollars for to get that gorgeous vinyl box. Not yet at least!

Feels like a life time ago tbh... depends how on techno you are I guess. Its only getting older at any rate.

this was re-recorded at metroplex as my first release. the original was recorded in 1989 at kech's(strand313) grandfather's house on detroit's eastside. nothin' but a moded roland 303, mt32 module, 909 and lousy sequencer. wish i had the mixdown from the cassette tape!!!

Marc Kinchen was an amazing remixer before he decided to shift into hip-hop/R&B at the end of the 1990s. He went from being a "buy-on-sight" name to not having his name anywhere. Wiki says he does in-house production for Will Smith now. Youtube everything with MK Dub, MK Mix, or Marc Kinchen in the title.
BUT he doesn't really have much to do with what Dog Latin is asking about. My recommendation to you, DL, is to imbibe whatever makes music sound the best to you, listen to the video below, and then keep youtubing. You won't go wrong.

Dog the three contemporary artists you mention are all much more house than techno so it's hard to say what sound you're looking for? Like I'd be recommending Steve hurley and early Larry heard rather than Detroit techno...
― Tim F, Friday, 4 March 2011 09:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Thanks. I guess I'm interested in both techno and house (from what I understand, the further you go back, the more those styles become pretty much the same thing, save geographical differences). Coincidentally, there's a Guardian article out today about early Chicago house http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/mar/03/chicago-house-music-uk-audience

(from what I understand, the further you go back, the more those styles become pretty much the same thing, save geographical differences)
Only if you're assuming that today techno = 150 bpm blitzkriegs and house = kylie, They were still pretty distinct circa, oh, 1987.

Tim, I'm not really assuming that. I'd previously read (probably on ILX from someone I assumed knew what he was talking about) that the only real difference between the earliest house and techno were where they came out of (Chicago/Detroit). But there must have still been some differences even then. Anyway, I'm out of my depth so I'll take your word for it.
Never could get into early techno/house before. I always had that Warp Classics comp and used to find that stuff more 'LOL primitive' than truly enjoyable (even though I used to love Tricky Disco and LFO when I was about 10). I'm feeling this now though. Nothing is tingling my ears more than a well placed 808 snare break. I've managed to get hold of the Warp Influences now, so that should tide me over for a bit. Thanks for all the suggestions people.

I know I've taken part in this discussion/argument a bunch, but I'm not sure how distinct house and techno really were in the mid/early-late 80s. I mean, listen to Washing Machine and Wargames then listen to Good Life and let someone guess which is chicago house and which is detroit techno. Or compare Jamie Principal to Blake Baxter.

And I think that we can easily sort songs into house and techno most of the time, but it doesn't correlate neatly to geography.
― elan, Friday, 4 March 2011 20:46 (thirteen years ago) link
Btw, that Chez N Trent song is what the guardian article is referring to when it quotes "you said you'd never ever do this to me again." It's from 1994, so I think it's pretty poor evidence for the argument that paragraph makes, but whatever. One of my favorite house songs EVER.
― elan, Friday, 4 March 2011 20:48 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't agree. While the early detroit techno stuff was often called house or detroit house, whether it sounded house or not, I've never heard anyone refer to Lil Louis or Fingers Inc as "techno". Or are there sonic signifiers that separate Acid House from Techno, beyond the ubiquitous 303 squelch.

― dan selzer, Saturday, 30 April 2011 07:42 (twelve years ago) link
yeah hence "anonymous collaborative entity". the credits on the vinyl specify who collaborated on each track but it's assumed that there is one main guy acting as The Martian on each release. plus there is def a unifying sound to these trax. idk maybe i'm wrong here...
the tracks on the cd comp are credited to a Will Thomas, though he doesn't appear to have done anything else so could be a pseudonym for Mad Mike or somebody?

Oh man, I *love* that Joe Smooth song. Just gorgeous. The second (and last, so far!) time I was lucky enough to play at Panorama Bar, I closed my set with that. The "Percahouse Apella Mix" is a killer.

I'm looking for a 90s or early 00s house track... it might sample the piano from I Can't Go For That and it's very laid back -- it never really takes off, ie it wouldn't be suitable for the climax of a club night. In a Pepe Bradock style. Might even be him. I know its a bit of a classic. The name has slipped my mind. Ideas?
― elan, Sunday, 4 September 2011 18:36 (twelve years ago) link
One distinctive thing about the track is that it screws with the normal kick - hat house pattern, omitting some of the hats that would in between the kicks.
― elan, Sunday, 4 September 2011 18:58 (twelve years ago) link
so, it's not an edit of "i can't go for that"? because there were a couple of good ones floating around at the time. what part of the hook, exactly does it sample?
one of the first things i thought of is this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MENf5PW67PA
of course, it's not that. and that one is pitched up from regular speed ... wonder if theo parrish ever heard the drums at 5:06?
so how does the sound of this motorbass-era remix compare to what you're thinking?

― mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Sunday, 4 September 2011 19:55 (twelve years ago) link
it samples THE piano trill -- used in that EDC remix but that's way more dynamic than what i'm thinking. my track is one of those where you've heard the whole song after about 30 seconds, but it's made to last 10 minutes or so.
i wouldn't consider it an edit but i'd appreciate if you'd post any that fit my description.

― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Thursday, 13 September 2012 11:49 (eleven years ago) link
A few good ones that I've read:
Dan Sicko - Techno Rebels: The Renegades of Electronic Funk* This is basically the history of techno in the US. Very informative on early developments of Detroit techno.
Matthew Colin - Altered State: The Story of Ecstasy Culture and Acid House* Good, non-partisan look into rave culture and ecstacy use.
Jane Bussmann - Once in a Lifetime: The Crazy Days of Acid House and Afterwards* You could read this as a partisan companion to Altered State. A sort of a "I was there" oral history and photo book of the British acid house scene in the late 80s and 90s. There isn't that much about the music, but it has wide variety of interesting and funny anecdotes told by various scenesters.
Chris Kempster (ed.) - History of House* Extensive and informative interviews with pretty much all the biggest techno and house musicians and DJs around the time the book was published (1996). I think this is pretty hard to find nowadays, but maybe your library carries it?
Martin James - The State of Bass: Jungle: The Story So Far* History of jungle and drum'n'bass up until 1997.
Ulf Poschardt - DJ-Culture* This one is German and it's far more academic than any of the others I've mentioned, but if you're into that sort of thing, it has some cool theories and observations that none of the Anglo books I've read have made.

On the more disco side, Turn The Beat Around is good, also Love Saves The Day...I don't really remember either as it's been years, but I don't remember hating either! And Mel Cheren's autobiography "My Life and the Paradise Garage" is a pretty essential disco story.

I've never managed to get into Berghain techno, but can you really compare the Craig with that sound?(x-post)
On a different tangent, I was very happy to find out someone had edited the AVH mix of Kim English 'Nite Life' and removed the ravey stabs which always seemed to detract from the sensual, rolling nature of the rest of the track:

"berghain techno" being shorthand for the kind of techno i really, really like right now

<3 <3 <3 the artwork too
It's been ages since I listened to the 4 My Peepz EP, but isn't there another track on it that does exactly this? (I.e. takes away the synths and leaves just the drums and bass?) Though IIRC it wasn't particularly memorable.
By biggest problem with Paperclip People isn't the use of high-pitched synth sounds per se, but that they sometimes sound oddly weak. Like the synth riff that begins "The Climax"... How could CC come up with something so feeble, when the drums and bass on that material is so kicking?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 08:33 (eleven years ago) link
you bring feeble all the time
― the late great, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 08:44 (eleven years ago) link
I guess there's this thing called dynamics. Also, those types of synth strings are very classic techno.

― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Tuesday, 18 September 2012 10:48 (eleven years ago) link
Sure, but there are many classic techno tracks where they pack much more punch than in "The Climax"... And there's a difference between dynamics and just sounding weak, in my opinion. The second synth in "The Climax", the higher-pitched one that plays the main melody, has a nice dynamic with bass and drums, but the opening riff just sounds lame. Especially since the track starts with it playing a cappella, so you're attention is drawn to its lameness.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 10:48 (eleven years ago) link
It's usually preferable for a dance track to build up in my opinion, as it then works with the previous track as an evolving blend. I wouldn't say it sounds 'weak' though: muffled and murky perhaps - but I like sounds like that; The glossiness of Carl Craig's "Sunglasses Techno" of the last 10 years is a big turn off for my ears.

― second only to popcorn (or something), Friday, 21 September 2012 09:18 (eleven years ago) link
fired up fits so well. the lusty vocals, naughty bassline, and more importantly the overall corny/cheap (?) feels.
that risque iii track is good but doesn't quite fit as it has a rather menacing tone.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Friday, 21 September 2012 09:25 (eleven years ago) link

I just realized that in the last year I've bought 3 of Roman Flugel's albums, one of his mix cds, and an ep of his, and saw him dj. But then I noticed there's no Roman Flugel thread, so I came here to say that La Forza Del Destino holds up incredibly well as a mid 00s micro/minimal house album.

Is that russian record for real? Too good to be true! Like when everyone discovered Black Devil and was convinced it had to be fake.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 23 May 2013 04:24 (ten years ago) link
There are loads of releases, got one on the way. It also doesn't sound too dissimilar in terms of sound palette to stuff like Alexander Robotnick and other italo from 83-85. Although most of that stuff is more song-based, and this is more tracky in some ways because of the context as a rolling backing to excercise.

Yeah, the Russian thing doesn't sound so unusual for its era that you'd suspect it's a fake... Especially compared to that Indian disco album that was reissued a few years ago, the one that sounded like acid house (complete with 303s) but was released in 1982. People thought that was a fake too, but I think it was genuine...?

I don't know, it sounds normal to me. outsider house is basically a fancy term for leftfield/weird/psychedelic/lo-fi house. stuff from LIES, sex tags mania, etc. people hate the term but it's useful if you need a term to describe this kinda sound.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you who buy house/techno vinyl actually go on discogs or wherever to get your hands on the oldies? I buy vinyl but for this stuff I mainly buy new material from my local record shop or boomkat. It's not often that I decide that I want a certain classic track or album and go hunt it down
― paolo, Saturday, 8 November 2014 11:48 (nine years ago) link
Best deep house record ever? Its not even the best Ron Trent record with the word Morning in it:P
Where's your local record shop? As for Discogs....I spend far too much time on discogs, its the only place I can find most of the things I'm looking for (wishlist is still full of things that never seem to appear though)
― saer, Saturday, 8 November 2014 12:57 (nine years ago) link
So what Ron Trent tunes are better? I don't know much of his stuff but that one is just gorgeous
And my local shop is Rubadub in Glasgow >>>>
― paolo, Saturday, 8 November 2014 13:20 (nine years ago) link
I wasnt being entirely serious...its not a competition, and Morning Factory is a great record of course! (so many of his records are great though...nature of retribution, Morning Fever, pop dip & spin, space riddims), hit after hit after hit!

Long time lurker, first time poster. I assume this is the most relevant thread for this but the other week I got to see a screening of the film Eden by Mia Hansen-Løve. The film is an epic-length portrait of the garage and French disco scene as seen through the eyes of a relatively successful but marginal DJ and producer as he lives through nearly two decades in the dance scene in Paris. It avoids all of the cliches of these movies and has an amazing ensemble cast (Daft Punk are recurring characters) and many cameos. This scene is not one I am particularly familiar with beyond the big names but the movie is extraordinary. It is beautiful, moving, epic in scope and chronology but also very intimate. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is in the very top tier of music-inspired films of any genre. It will be released in the states this summer and has already played in many markets in Europe. Someone has kindly turned the soundtrack into a Spotify playlist:

I used to work with Mr. V. In the early 2000s we both worked at FCB advertising. I was a production artist and he worked in the print room. Another guy was this NJ italian club DJ who played big records to big crowds in like, Clifton NJ, but was always impressed because I knew people appearing in mixmag like James Murphy or whatever. Mr. V was promoting for Masters at Work and just starting to make tracks. His first records came out while I was still working there and I was psyched he was getting some attention. Another guy who worked there was a techno DJ who hung out at Throb records, more of a gay techno scene. Still, at some point there was like a half-dozen guys working there who were all DJs of one kind or another.

I've been playing Bobby Konders "Massai Women" a lot recently; it's on the B-side of "The Poem". It feels newly contemporary, and fits in well with a lot of the recent house music that I've been enjoying.

I heard a record the other week which i've not been able to shake, and I havent worked out what it is yet. it samples the vocals from Erykah Badu's On and On, a bit of searching uncovered a few tracks using this but none of them are it (its not the Norma Jean Bell one)
It sounds like its from sometime between 98 and 01, probably British. It will probably turn up again somewhere..

I wouldnt know anything about any of those places, but I dont think it was ever played over the tannoy at Seel Park, though the tannoy was broken for a couple of years.

This week I've been reminding myself of the awesomeness of Stacey Pullen's mid-90s work as Kosmic Messenger. Somehow superior to the Silent Phase stuff? Maybe it's just timing and he learned how to bounce as he switched from SP to KM. Not everything is brilliant of course (though I'd kill to get the full comp of KM tracks regardless) but what is more the bomb than "Eye To Eye", "The Death March", "Flash" and "Get Down"? Epic like Carl Craig of that era but if it's reflective it's only reflecting on how to make yr ass move.

I think Acid Jesus had the other Alter Ego guy too, Wutke or whatever he was called?
― Tuomas, Thursday, 12 January 2017 11:31 (seven years ago) link
Okay, I checked it, and Acid Jesus was indeed Flügel and Wuttke. And Acid Scout was Richard Bartz.
I never made this connections back in the day, I wonder what it'd been like if we'd had something like Discogs.com then?

Young Marco's Safe Trip label is releasing a compilation called Welcome To Paradise: Italian Dream House 1989-93.
The label describes 'dream house' as a uniquely Italian sound inspired by the likes of Larry Heard and New Jersey deep house—the result being a "head-in-the-clouds" style with "rich chords, tactile basslines, fluid piano lines and starry electronics."
― boxedjoy, Friday, 20 January 2017 19:05 (seven years ago) link

Ability II - Pressure (Dub) - this was recently reissued with a Luca Lozano remix but the original dub is the stand-out for me. It's so obviously a rip-off of "LFO" but those delayed vocal snatches really make it.

have to ask - is *that* dfa the italian area knockoff from the '90s? cause that's the one i think of.
was listening to satoshi ikeda's 1992 album "a love supreme" and was surprised when track 7, "fall", turned out to be a 12 minute house number. i haven't heard a lot of what happened with city pop in the '90s and i hadn't heard it going blatantly house before. it's definitely crossover stuff, likely nothing that would impress a purist, but i liked it a lot.

i’ve always been torn abt demarkus - like kerri or derrick he puts out a ton of stuff, some of it amazing, some of it too commercial for my taste
this is the one i keep coming back to

― the late great, Friday, 3 November 2017 23:21 (six years ago) link
I figure with people like that when they put out a ton of stuff it doesn't really matter some of it isn't very good! I don't have to own or like all of their records.
Its like being a striker, if they have a bad game all is forgiven when they score a goal! I agree though he has a lot of bad records, but I don't mind as there are great ones in there too

the first two are the two with the best two tracks on! (kissing game, and bring it home). I don't know the third though,will check that out
Bring It Home has become so ubiquitous in recent years, no complaints though, never get bored of it! I love how its so simple and jaunty but also too fast and too slow at the same time and also very seasick, lurching around like a Geordie in the wind

Present your arguments for or against why this should be inducted into the deep house canon:
Jellybean feat Steven Dante - The Real Thing (Fun "House" Dub)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDnv6e7NLd0
The bassline is so solid, and the vocals ooze power as well. There seems to be a lack of 808 though.
'Jellybean' is one of those producers who disappoints me overall because I found his strongest production early on then later realized there wasn't much else like it. With 'Jellybean' I'm talking of course about his work on Madonna's 'Holiday' but C&C Music Factory would be another good example, their only real masterpiece that I've found is that one Grace Jones garage remix.
― viborg, Monday, 9 December 2019 05:49 (four years ago) link
Full artist name is John 'Jellybean' Benitez.
― viborg, Monday, 9 December 2019 05:51 (four years ago) link
IMO this is the C & C music factory masterpiece

Right, that's not bad. A little flimsy for my deep house preferences but it's not bad. I prefer that vocal to the Aretha remake. Here's the Grace Jones garage remix (apologies if I've posted it here before, I'm kind of partial to it):

In July, Tom Ewing will be running a Twitter world cup of 1990 tracks and looking for nominations this week. Dance music is ridiculously underpresented at the moment, given how great it was in 1990. Here's the current list:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1nbefrL-HIkjF0KvPU0ziJddlnx-eEcgAwkliyiiYH8Y/edit?usp=sharing
DHS - House of God has just been added, thankfully, but there's currently no Cubik, no I Called U, no The Power even.
If any of you are into such things, bung @people_pop a tweet with a couple of nominations. Only one of them can be a UK Top 40 hit, but neither has to be.

Upon further inspection he is making eggs too.... "Oi geeza spare a strip of bacon?"..... Kev doesn't mind.... You've just scored yourself some bacon..... Great start to the day... You glance outside.... The sun is shining... Your little neoghbor Johno is kicking a ball about..... Pure bliss.... This tune is pure bliss.

surgeon is a really fascinating artist, everything he does is either meaningless loops devoid of all feeling or he creates something epic out of like three ingredients, like a barbecue pitmaster. sadly I must categorize the above post as part of the first genus

― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Monday, 2 November 2020 03:20 (three years ago) link
i thought surgeon was pretty popular around here? i really like his work from 97-01, especially the tresor albums and early counterbalance 12s. i love love love the counterbalance collection mix cd from 2001, probably the greatest drum loop techno statement of purpose from someone not named jeff mills that exists. british murder boys was aight but honestly i cooled off on him alot when he got very eclectic and laptoppy around 2007.

yeah I can see people reacting like that for sure, I mean much of this stuff is very clean and clinical and tool-y by design ... I guess it's partly a case of being intentionally very functional music and p much invariant in terms of mood, almost like a kind of "meta house" in the way in which it takes a resolutely singular approach to groove and harmony and just presents it via these subtle, hypnotic structural permutations ...

― I'm a sovereign jazz citizen (the table is the table), Friday, 8 October 2021 19:53 (two years ago) link
I do miss the days of 100 post arguments over villalobos remixes, which are the purest expression of ilm house discourse, but also feel like there’s not much to “argue” about re: Mountan People and that style. It just kind of does what it does in that “neutral, unthinking” way, but I don’t see that as resulting only in positive experiences. Very easy to see how it comes across as just “neutral and thinking” (read: “boring”) but it’s a quality I’ve developed a taste for, as in similar stuff by Cab Drivers, and perfected by people like Thomas Melchior. It’s very “ordinary” and routinized but in a way that has enough quirks and subtleties to do “ordinary” differently.
― ed.b, Friday, 8 October 2021 20:27 (two years ago) link
Yeah, I think I just find most Mountain People stuff really boring— "neutral" is perhaps the best descriptor for it, and while I like a fair amount of music (and even house) that might be described this way, I find most MP records to be completely lacking in affect or color. Not for me...
I guess that part of the reason why I push back, perhaps, is that it seems so diametrically opposed to some of the West End stuff that was being praised on this thread a few posts prior, which I also found awfully dull— a lot of West End stuff is kind of by-the-numbers deep house or disco-inflected NY house, and the tracks that were posted weren't anything special...
But I think my tastes are really different than a lot of others around here, it seems, which is fine. Just makes for some bafflement on my part, at times.
― I'm a sovereign jazz citizen (the table is the table), Friday, 8 October 2021 20:40 (two years ago) link
i don't have a horse in this race but tbh i don't even know what house music is anymore.
i do have some ... possibly boring ... thoughts on what constitutes boring dance music, for me, personally. i'm still working out how to explain it, but it's basically any track with static, loop-based construction with no musical phrasing happening. where you can hear the ableton layout, basically. i don't mind very simple or reduced musicality, a slowly evolving filter over some jittery effect for example, but when there's just 32-bar loops stacked on top of each other it sounds completely dead to me, actually makes me irrationally angry. there's a lot of stuff out there like this! i'm always listening for musical phrasing and if it goes somewhere interesting or unexpected-but-perfect then even better.
― Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Friday, 8 October 2021 21:18 (two years ago) link
I feel that, too. A decade ago I interviewed Rolando and he said, "it's all just techno to me man," and while that's a truism at this point, it really is all just techno or house to me— even when I'm listening to something that's more like drum'n'bass or trance or whatever, my reference points always go back to house or techno.
It's funny, this discussion has made me think of artists I like that *do* use really repetitive musical gestures and make "workmanlike" tracks, and one is the ever-elusive POM POM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvfUx2NhT2c
My first thoughts as to why I like a track like the above but don't like Mountain People is mostly one of timing and "vibes"— I tend toward more minimal, late-night, industrial sounds, particularly in my techno. Polite loopy stuff to "come down" to rarely moves me, probably because in my raving days I was very much into ambient music or silence for those moments. My tastes in house are more traditional, maybe, in that I tend to dig the more "organic" sounds of people like Theo Parrish and that whole wheelhouse.
― I'm a sovereign jazz citizen (the table is the table), Friday, 8 October 2021 21:57 (two years ago) link
I can see why these Mountain People tracks seem boring, but I can also imagine it being 6am and lost in the groove in a warehouse and feeling those warm chords wash over me. They're not obvious hits or thrilling moments but I'm listening to 007.1 as posted upthread and there's a hi-hat coming in that's made me quicken up. I'm not sure I'd love a whole night of this but dance music singles never exist in a vacuum.
― boxedjoy, Friday, 8 October 2021 23:10 (two years ago) link
Totally. Those MP tracks are nice grooves to slide into a set of diverse house tracks.
― DJI, Saturday, 9 October 2021 00:42 (two years ago) link
Lol, it makes sense I’ve never got, and often straight up disliked, Pom Pom. But all that means to me is, when you’re dealing with fairly stripped down and repetitive tracks, a minor inclination to certain moods and sonic flavours really makes or breaks the track. I mean, there’s SO much bad late 00s deep house, and a lot of that comes down to that “you can see the abelton arrangements” quality (lol, remember when Oslo and mobilee were hot shit?), and listening to MP today, it hear something that’s outlived it’s contemporaries.

but honestly, and i find this more and more, i have to listen to a whole track from beginning to end at least once to know if i like it or not, and lately i feel like i can only devote that time to certain things. i do need to make a project out of listening to everything posted in these threads without an agenda before the end of the year.

Thats a fault of a DJ not the fault of any particular record!
― saer, Saturday, 9 October 2021 05:24 (two years ago) link
Well yes, I didn't want to hit out with a cheesy cliche but a good DJ can make a decent record sound phenomenal in context and these are the kind of things I can imagine work really well as bridge-building moments in a set.
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 9 October 2021 08:29 (two years ago) link
I didn't mean that exactly! More that however great a record might be you still want ebb and flow with other records, and for things to go around the corner and find pockets of space too

Love that "quirky, funky, irreverent style of 00s minimal house" but can't think of many artist doing it now that aren't the artists doing it 15 years ago, though one example that comes to mind is Digby. My sense is a lot of quirky/funky/irreverent house is coming out, but it's has this bold sound that's unlike the microhouse style of Cabanne/that mix, while the microhousey stuff tends to be more serious.
Should go in the bobbins 21 thread but this seems relevant here:

it's a stunner isn't it? full on hopeful piano vibes. and legal according to the rules of this thread as he originally uploaded it to his soundcloud 4 years ago or thereabouts. akufen has a new record due out in november and the preview sounds v promising, first track in particular
returning to matters of the past earlier today i was reading about this funny situation / mild controversy involving baby ford. he put out a record on trelik in 2014 and one of the tracks happened to be exactly the same as a tune by background records cohort rhythm maker, released on a label compilation in 2003. people were accusing ford of plagiarism but it turns out he had some old dat tapes from the label in his possession and mistakenly thought it was some forgotten track from the vaults that he had made years earlier. it totally does sound like the kind of tune he would make though!

i may have posted this already, apologies if a repeat
don't know how to classify this new reissue 12 on musique pour la danse. maybe a fool's errand since it's from that semi-mythical era (1991) when the only genres were cash-in shit and perfect, immortal bangers. one of the tracks is sort of blissed-out bleep, one of is kind of proto-trance / belgian post-ebm hybrid, the alternate mixes hint at funky acid breaks. i'm really into the first two tracks, which are "bio rhythms" style homage to late 80s detroit with strong "rainforest" vibes, not too far from what claude young was doing around the same time w/ his low key alias or some art l forest productions

Love Yoshiesque 1 and this track. I guess it does have a Morello / Romero vibe though in my head it kinda gets subsumed within the overall soft-focus vaseline lens floatiness of that mix.

i believe the yt is ripped from the mix, since the track on vinyl is 10 mins long!

Landed here searching for mentions of Jeremy Sylvester. Not too many on the board.
uk garage always somewhat impenetrable for me, but have been giving it another go and really like some of his productions. has a zillion aliases, definitely some commercial crud to wade through (I assume he was massive?), but the earlier stuff is quite special! some of the other posts here are mixes/playlists he's featured in and it's interesting to see who he shows up next to.
at times sounding very french house with heavy use of samples and cut up vocals. others sounding so bouncy and boomy with sampled chord stabs I can't help but think of Shed! and I can almost hear how some of these could've influenced Last Exit.
can't stop playing this one

here's another cool recent discovery, an uncharacteristically techy dave lee (joey negro) production with a typically hair-raising "thelma house" vocal. i think there's other mixes which are more popular (grant nelson, and a ukg version by industry standard) but i prefer this one, there's a dub of it too ...

Christopher Just - Jeff After Four Roses
This came up in conversation at the weekend. I'd forgotten how much I used to like it (pitched down a bit). The Jeff in question is Jeff Mills. The story goes that he was playing in Vienna and (very uncharacteristically) drank a whole load of Four Roses bourbon and started acting (very uncharacteristically) crazy. The track was Christopher Just's attempt to sonically replicate Jeff Mills being very, very drunk.

i don’t often follow up on exaltics releases, i know gerald donald (dopplereffekt) is a big fan, but the dude puts out so much stuff, and most of it gritty heads-down dancefloor electro-techno … just too bleak, not colorful enough to catch my attention. he’s a bit like early 00s anthony rother in that respect.
he just put out his second best-of comp, and this remix from 2011 is on it. to me it’s a “zeta reticula ep 2” level banger and reminds me that when he gets going on the gothy 303 vibe he’s pretty much the only current producer that can step to gesloten cirkel

There's something weird going on with the bass on this tune. Sounds fine on headphones but on my stereo it sometimes seems as if it's out of sync with the rest of the track, but then sometimes it seems fine :/

this one rules but there are so many Ian B tunes that equally rule that can be picked up for peanuts. when something blows up because a hype DJ plays it, it totally mystifies me why it seems none (or very few) of the folk introduced to it go on to check out anything else that artist did. so weird.
anyway, Ian B should have legendary status in dance music. such a hero. RIP.
that Fred Giannelli track ^^ is great too. i don't think i'd heard anything he did post 2000s before.

Stirmonster, just catching up...
that Ministry of Fear Track with No Name had me racking my brain for the sample, The Prince and the Wizard, The Wiz is a Genius. And the Euphoria vocal is Torch Song. Awesome.
I love Gianelli stuff. Always struck a chord even before I knew who he was. His Psychic TV stuff was some of my first introduction to "techno" and "house", gateway from industrial. Then in college we used to get the Telepathic releases as part of a radio promo service with plus 8/probe and others like that.
Now I follow him on facebook, and his "genesis p orridge survivors group" which is...interesting.

Discovering stuff from Fred Gianelli’s and Telepathic’s back catalogues has been one the best past-bobbins sources for me in the last year.

ah yes very good. sound metaphors is an excellent label. always been annoying to me that warp left the fuse track off “10+2 classics”.
above board projects also do a great job. i’ll probably skip that one but it’s nice to see the xeper track and it makes me hopeful that warp might finally manage some black dog productions reissues

X post. Ah yes, of course that is the sample source, Dan!
And you are right, Fred G is fairly obsessed with GPO and his time in PTV which sounds deeply traumatic. I know Fred a wee bit and can vouch that he is a lovely human being. Lots of great Telepathic releases. “Acid Didj” is an all time fave / floor clearer. Also his Kooky Scientist alter ego.
― stirmonster, Saturday, 3 June 2023 19:26 (ten months ago) link
Seeing that group after reading Cosey's book def doesn't paint a great picture of GPO. ON the other hand I know a whole slew of people, ny music scene people who were very much in GPO's orbit and looked towards him as a real mentor, so who am I to say. Cosey's book was pretty damning though.
― dan selzer, Monday, 5 June 2023 01:43 (ten months ago) link
I think she had to hold back on some stuff that was worse than anything that was revealed in the book. Fred's tales are pretty horrific too.
i do find it hard to listen to a lot of stuff Gen was involved with and really can't ever imagine listening to Persuasion again without feeling extremely uncomfortable. But, early PTV is pretty totemic for me so I'm still conflicted.
