i feel like the x-tian angle has been much more upfront lately, or at least i wasn't noticing it before, to the point that i've been pausing on buying some of his releases

that's interesting, i thought the opposite - or maybe rather i'd felt it even more strongly in years previous but now cos with him expanding his palette a tiny bit it seems more diffuse and less didactic
or idk it may just simply be as i intimated upthread that he fell out of my scope of relevance for a while and now i'm myopically bang into him again

i take particular enjoyment from his remix game of late - i guess with any other producer it would be kinda lame the way he blankly steamrollers the source material but with him it's like this sweetly absentminded (but not) father brown thing almost, very amusing
like how he turns this abject bollocks into this for instance

and as you can see that one takes on a religious vibe purely just out of your awareness of todd being todd
― r|t|c, Friday, 4 May 2012 17:45 (twelve years ago) link
his remix of wretch 32's 'forgiveness' is another good one, solves the thorny question of wretch by ejecting him from his own track entirely

absolutely extraordinary even for todd

would love to have seen the face on these schmucks when they received their totally average-ass tune back done up like that

def an inauspicious caterpillar.

I kind of feel like the track works and the vocal works but they don't work together?

this 'the most beautiful thing' remix is incredible.

that's, erm, less incredible.

or perhaps in another sense.

We talked about this one yet?

meh
― the late great, Friday, 7 September 2012 07:01 (twelve years ago) link
Well, compared to the original its a step up. A major one.
― Josiah Alan, Friday, 7 September 2012 07:04 (twelve years ago) link
I'm still having a hard time believing that this Crosstown Rebels, Visionquest, Hot Creations sound that Todd Burns seems so infatuated with is actually a major thing.
― Josiah Alan, Friday, 7 September 2012 07:06 (twelve years ago) link
Ooh so slow druggy deep house with OK drums, so amazing.
Ooh so (insert anything here) so amazing.
― Tim F, Friday, 7 September 2012 09:01 (twelve years ago) link
Dunno, just seems like a very bland and conservative kind of music to be getting all hot and bothered about.
I like Benoit and Sergio as much as the next guy but am so far a little underwhelmed by this "trend".
― Josiah Alan, Friday, 7 September 2012 13:16 (twelve years ago) link
with you, brah, except I absolutely hate that shit
― The Reverend, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:06 (twelve years ago) link
Even Nick Hannam's "Love You Girl"?

it's tough, stuff gets popular. It's not always the best stuff, it's not always the stuff you like. And it sucks that you have to hear this fake shit night after night after night
― blank, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:33 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think you can front on Infinity Ink's "Games":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmQKOXbN1_Q
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:40 (twelve years ago) link
Or indeed "House of Infinity".
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:44 (twelve years ago) link
which is like mid 90s Carl Craig (somewhere between the Jonny L and Aquarhythms remixes) meets garage.
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:46 (twelve years ago) link
or indeed

leectric feel is even better
(lee foss)
these actually have a passing resemblance (in struxture) to some todd stuff
― the late great, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:51 (twelve years ago) link
kinda lowest common denominator but it still gets MASSIVE SUPPORT
― the late great, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:52 (twelve years ago) link
I still maintain that Rev thinks that all of these tunes are the same as Art Department's "Without You" and Benoit & Sergio's "Walk & Talk" without actually hearing them.
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:56 (twelve years ago) link
seriously tho the build from the three minute mark of "House of Infinity" is just (((((((((( d[-_-]b ))))))))))

True, well you know BAD FIRST IMPRESSIONS and all of that, but yes Art Depo and B&S most certainly have biased me against whoever else people want to associate with them. These tracks are all fine (or at least that last one was until MGMT came in) but they don't get me excited. I loved the Robin Thicke one when I heard it in a DJ Q mix, so maybe playing this stuff with the pitch way up and surrounded by garridge is the key.
I was saying on twitter tho that even tho I got into dance music through house, I'm kind of super-bummed by almost anything 4x4 at the moment. Seems to kind of have become the provenance of dance music's stodgiest elements (or most garish, but I'm less frustrated with that kru).

Now to catch up on that other thread.
― The Reverend, Saturday, 8 September 2012 07:35 (twelve years ago) link
I do appreciate this particular piece of sage wisdom I received on twitter tho:
"House is like your mother. She raised you and you'll always love her, but sometimes you gotta move out of the house."
― The Reverend, Saturday, 8 September 2012 07:42 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, and start making techno.
I think what rubs me the wrong way the most about Infinity Ink is the way the vocals have this faint whiff of MGMT/ pseudo Beegees kinda thing.
It doesn't much matter that there's a bumpy little garage loop under the rest of the beat, still yeucch.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 8 September 2012 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
Maybe its more Cut Copy than MGMT, I've spent too much time playing this crap for college students.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 8 September 2012 17:33 (twelve years ago) link
Are you talking about "Infinity" Josiah or "House of Infinity"?
