speaking of "romantic techno" is unai ever going to release anything again?
― bum-sniff deviant (cutty), Tuesday, 22 December 2009 12:56 (fourteen years ago) link
tannenbaum, most of that stuff is pretty yawn-inducing, with some excellent exceptions. i mean, textura really really really like ambient, dubby techno, as well as almost anything the Yore tribe puts out, which is pretty stale for the most part.

(obviously IMHO)
and cutty, there was a five year gap between Unai's first and second record....so it might be another year or two? i actually listened to 'A Love Moderne' quite a lot this fall.

I wonder if the guys at Textura pick the releases based on what they really like the most, or it's just an attempt to avoid making a boring list.

'avoid making a boring list'? i dunno, the albums list is pretty good, but the singles and comps list is kind of eh.
― And now my dick is where? Oh, this is too rich (the table is the table), Tuesday, 22 December 2009 14:29 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, by boring list I mean it's filled by albums that's already on dozens of other lists.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Tuesday, 22 December 2009 14:32 (fourteen years ago) link
oh okay.
i think that my albums list is kind of boring, but i tallied my plays from those albums and that's what i came up with.
my singles and remixes lists, though, were a mixture of 1) placement in the most-played category of my itunes, and 2) my own damn predilections.

I need to listen to the latter more, but from what I can tell, MCDE Raw CUTS 3/4 >> 5/6 (it's still an everyone wins sort of thing, of course).
― EDB, Tuesday, 22 December 2009 22:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Cause 5/6 seems to be one everyone's lists, but no so much 3/4 (the kick drum on 4 could tear down buildings with big enough speakers).
― EDB, Tuesday, 22 December 2009 22:01 (fourteen years ago) link
i really liked that jayson brothers record that came out on the raw cuts label. maybe more than the last couple of raw cuts!
― jon goin hamm (haitch), Tuesday, 22 December 2009 23:10 (fourteen years ago) link
but edb, i'm also pretty sure that 3/4 came out in 08?

speaking about MCDE, anyone knows the last track on this clip? http://www.sundaybestnyc.com/2009/08/mcde-live-from-sunday-best.html
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Wednesday, 23 December 2009 00:02 (fourteen years ago) link
raw cuts 3/4 did indeed come out last year, my bad
― one time, Wednesday, 23 December 2009 00:19 (fourteen years ago) link
xxpost: ahhh, gotcha.
Hmmn, I was reminiscing about Sunday Best earlier today, I could certainly use one about now (if not for a day of good house music then certainly some summery weather!).
― EDB, Wednesday, 23 December 2009 02:22 (fourteen years ago) link
ok guys, so anyone up with Anthony "Shake" Shakir? the Frictionalism overview that just came out is arriving in my inbox tomorrow for review. VERY EXCITED. seriously, guy is one of the most underrated producers of our times, imho.
― And now my dick is where? Oh, this is too rich (the table is the table), Wednesday, 23 December 2009 02:26 (fourteen years ago) link
durrr - last track from the sunday best set is the mcde remix of jazzanova "look what you're doing to me". its on the "of all things" deluxe edition which i think may have just come out.
― natty bo, Wednesday, 23 December 2009 15:59 (fourteen years ago) link
i saw shake dj last week, was really fun. played a good range of classics, recent euro club hits and lots of weird shit i didn't know. highlight was watching him play air keys to that radioslave edit of herbie hancock. just really enthusiastic and happy, handing records to the spotters, lots of flair mixing. the crowd was loving it. dude wasn't afraid of the crossfader!
i want to get more of his records but they seem quite rare and expensive. at least in london anyway. this is amazing:

what's the deal with the retrospective thing? is it cd or vinyl?
― rionat, Wednesday, 23 December 2009 18:26 (fourteen years ago) link
Rush Hour is handling the Frictionalism comp. It is vinyl only for a couple more months, and then it will be available digitally.

The Rush Hour website says there will be a CD as well: http://www.rushhour.nl/store_detailed.php?item=52168
― lou, Wednesday, 23 December 2009 19:32 (fourteen years ago) link
this hunee track deserves more best-of-year type honors imo. such an anxious feel for a deep-house tune, but it works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCagkzCSvVg
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 23 December 2009 21:44 (fourteen years ago) link
huh, that reminds me a bit of this weird, mellow frankie knuckles track i have on vinyl.
anyway, yeah, the shake retrospective is a bunch of records (including a bonus 7" (!!!) ) and then a CD a bit later. of course, i'm getting the digitial version because g4mall from backspin is handling it and sending it to me, etc...

Nina Kraviz - I'm Gonna Get You
as this been mentioned yet? the intro and spoken vocal could be shorter. but its creates an element of tension. 3.30 onwards is killer. deep deep.

okay, so i've always liked what i've heard/had of Shake's stuff. but this compilation is 3.5 hours of impeccable, impeccable detroit techno. breathtaking stuff.
― And now my dick is where? Oh, this is too rich (the table is the table), Sunday, 27 December 2009 14:49 (fourteen years ago) link
that was pretty much the reaction i had to daniel wang's.
my album of the year was modeselektor's "body language", i think.
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 28 December 2009 03:56 (fourteen years ago) link
Passed over a used copy of that the other day :S
― EDB, Monday, 28 December 2009 04:24 (fourteen years ago) link
buy it, it's real good
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 28 December 2009 04:34 (fourteen years ago) link
and i'm not a fan of modeselektor proper
for reference, i also really enjoyed this year
three chairs - spectrumlcd soundsystem - 45:33 remixeslinkwood family - firecracker 04linkwood family - intrusion dubsdemdike stare - symbiosmordant music - symptomsshackleton - three EPsalexander nut - rinse 08pinch - tectonic plates 02
sort of out of touch with techno this year, tbh
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 28 December 2009 04:39 (fourteen years ago) link
Alright I'm sold. BUt only because of boxing week sales (I might be able to get it for as little as $6)
Still, after having bought like 22 records (including a 2XLP and a 3XLP) and with 4 unlistened to CD's on the table, this better be good!
― EDB, Monday, 28 December 2009 04:40 (fourteen years ago) link
I guess this is my last day to mention it before anything 2009 falls out of relevance and into oblivion, but Tensnake's In the End (I Want You to Cry) is just perfect.
That's one reason why I tend to love December, thanks to year end charts, all this wonderful stuff I've passed over is delivered straight to me.
― EDB, Thursday, 31 December 2009 16:38 (fourteen years ago) link
yep i think In the End is my fave 2009 bobbins. so happy/sad, so lush. kinda disco too :)

someone come up with a catchy title for 2010 thread

techno/house bobbins, 2010

not catchy

One would think that you listen to next to no TECHNO / HOUSE BOBBINS 2010 if you like this
