Minimal house bobbins 2007

anyway, what about this: the Sabu Martinez 'Body to Body' 12" on Mellotronen? a-side sounds like what 'Africolaps' could have been if executed better. i don't know shit about this guy, just picked it randomly and am sooo enamored.

lf, I read your comment on discogs re FZ w/ interest: "okay in the right hands on the dancefloor as the sun comes up". so which dancefloor was that on, exactly?

snide, yes, sorry. obviously it's not your fault you live in America. but if you'd experienced FZ in such a setting (and unknowingly), I doubt you'd be be so offended by it. it's obviously tossed off, but that doesn't stop it from being an effective idea. would you have such a problem with it if it hadn't been officially released/critically reamed by boutique stores?

i'm glad you're "interested" though

that's better than "otherwise it sucks".

xpost -- think we're on the same page, only my page is more drug damaged

the question is would pobjenicki cocek work at 5am on the dancefloor for a techno crowd?

Being back on real ILM for barely a day is probably discouraging the bumping of older threads so far (I looked anyway, and can't find the '06 version)

"This is a disciplined, focused mix (one of the best of 2006 to be sure) from a DJ whose time in the shadows making tea is now a mere memory."

Quite a far reaching meme.

Not when there's less than two degrees of separation between reviewer and DJ.

Radio Slave's 'Bell Clap Dance'

glad i'm not the only one. the central riff that runs through it gives the track real forward momentum (and a bit of drama).....unlike some of the stodgy minimal i've heard recently.

i guess we should be discussing this in mr. sherburne's specially created rekids thread!

P.S. anyone have anything to say about Please Please Please by Tobias Thomas, because I read a description of it today and it sounded really interesting ( 12 minutes of ambience, half of V. Delay's Huone - one of my absolute favourite tracks! - this could be terrible or amazing).

It's Für Dich, Thomas' first Kompakt mix, that contains "Huone."

i've played out "bell clap dance" a ton, it always works wonders. killer track.

the audion remix of dubfire's "i feel speed" is so great, on some delirious detuned sawtooth carnival madness

with a "french kiss" style breakdown to boot!

I sincerely hope that this doesn't mean that he put in orgasm samples!

Speaking of Audion remixes, along with his Olga Dancekowski remix, which is sounding really really great after some initial ambivalence, his remix of Electrostatic by Terece Fixmer is really excellent, probably one of the best remixes of him I've heard. Is it just me, or does Audion kind of make you think of Phuture. I can tell things like Acid Trax very much inform his productions.
Also, re: the 27 minute Jesse Somfay track. Haven't listened to it in full, but it's not unlike the Field on a rather aggressive day. It probably should be listened to in full though.

no it just slows down. another great track i have been enjoying this week is dan ghenacia & chris carrier "tumble blur". speaking of phuture, it kinda reminds me of "rise from your grave" with those chord stabs. this is exactly the kind of "deep" direction i'd like minimal to go in, percussive, hypnotic and sensual (much like the arpiar, mountain people and recent liebe detail stuff, and also oslo who i have just discovered (thanks for the tip ronan!)), as opposed to the bigger more explicit deepness of say innervisions. see also the excellent tobias remix of "lohn & brot"

the new bruno pronsato, seems to be a slightly more emotionally direct version of the restless, twitchy, brooding, slightly mysterious 'vibe' of harem-era villalobos (think 'hireklon' and 'miami'). this verdict is delivered after hearing 3 tracks, mind you.

there's a comma in there that shouldn't be.

I am enjoying the Guillame and the Coutu Dumonts track that came out on Oslo a lot.. I will definitely be checking the other releases on this label.

Am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a big order that includes the new Jichael Mackson and Mountain People - hopefully it will turn up before Christmas! Does anyone have an opinion on the new sebo k mobilee record? I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

now listening to a stream of the sydenham mix of 'space katzle' - so lush and pretty!

jermainetwo, you just made me go and buy that pronsate record. i am a sucker for that sound.

also, perhaps worth mentioning that my best of 2007 list (with mp3s) is up now here

would you go to a party called latin brutality?

hell yes!

hah should i post the line up?

it's new years eve

also, most Fleetwood Mac songs would make great minimal house bobbins hooks

Heh, to return to Please Please Please again, it's apparently finished off by a Thomas/Geiger remix of a cover of "Dreams".

and Re: B. Pronsato, I wanted to compare "At Home I'm a Tourist" to Villalobos, but was scared off by the prospect of it sounding like one of many thoughtless everything-exists-in-relation-to-villalobos statement, so I'm glad it's not just me. It sounds like Villalobos with a sense of humour in a way, the same wild unrepetitive rhythmic patterns, strokes of melody which sound out of place, but fit in perfectly, but he doesn't take it too seriously. Not to say anything about either one's approach to production, but their principles are very similar, but B.P. are much more whimsical and childlike. verdict, really quite good, but you have to be in a certain mood for it.

hey Solomun's 'Keep Control' is nice and thick just how i like it

^^came out in august. man, i've been playing catchup all year

Wow, I'm listening to the mix October made of his own released and forthcoming productions that was posted on Tape and 15 minutes in (of about 35 minutes) it's REALLY good. For fans of Thomas Melchior!

Listened to the whole thing and it's consistently amazing! Sorry to make that quick, kind of vulgar really, Melchior comparison, but he takes a lot of stylistic and production tips from him, but with a touch of dub-techno aesthetics. Like Melchior playing in Berghain maybe? Either way, beautiful.

And, errr, not that anyone cares I,m sure but my end of the year tracks list avec megamix has now been committed to ilm

Is this Pronsato album available on CD or MP3?! I'm having trouble finding it on Boomkat etc...

Heh, to return to Please Please Please again, it's apparently finished off by a Thomas/Geiger remix of a cover of "Dreams".

Unfortunately, it's almost unlistenable.

Agreed.

In fact the last 20 minutes or so of that mix is very disappointing.

I don't believe the Pronsato will be out til January. It'll be CD and 2LP, and I can't imagine it won't be MP3 as well.

hello? repeat = no digital releases. the first few things were but they decided to go back on it. (they may well flip flop back again, i supppose)

Thanks! I was wondering why I couldn't find it anywhere.

well, yeah, i didn't actually go out and buy the pronsato record.

tho i put in a request for a review copy.

ah no kidding? bummer, i didn't know that. someone wants to me more like perlon! (heh, just kidding.)

Since I imagine not many people are checking the other thread I posted this in, I was wondering if anyone here could possibly identify this just beautiful track, which I've been trying to identify since the summer. I thought it might be Joel Mull, but I've checked a lot of his tracks and haven't found it. Theres a minute long sample you can stream here

P.S. Daniel Bell is an entirely remarkable DJ! (although I'm sure you all know this already) He played for free for 5 hours in a 200 or so person capacity bar here, w/out guestlist or anything of the sort (this might be the most admirable thing any promoter in Toronto has done since I've started going to events)

that Chloe albums pretty decent isn't it!

keep going back for more..
