Techno/house bobbins, 2009

I find it easy to not really agree with anyone. My newest run-down:

- Nima Gorji's "The Gypsy Way" on murmur
- Vibe Corner's "Long Time Gone" on Architech
- Sety rmx of Butane's "Mutation" on crosstown rebels

haha, ysee? EUROPEAN STUFF.

and Pierre LX, too, esp. the Jus-Ed rmx on his newest.

pierre lx does a really good free night at bar music hall on curtain rd, at least it was free last time i went.

is that the one that was meant to have Kassem Mosse recently, until he got sick or something? I never go in there cos it seems busy shoreditch bar but I wanted to go that night.

yeah, millenium disco it's called. it is a busy shoreditch bar, lots of er, non-"heads" i suppose. pretty sure only a small fraction of the patrons are there specifically for the club night itself. pierre lx plays good low key house stuff though, its not really a full on rinse up but nice to have a few drinks and a moderate dance to. and he gets good guests. carsten klemann is at the next one

Tiga and Joakim are coming to my country. Should I stay or should I go? What do they play nowadays?

that sounds cool...is it monthly on fridays or every week?

This thread would also be more fun if there were any tracks discussed which you could imagine (even momentarily) becoming chart hits.

durrrrr you should absolutely see joakim, he will play disco and techno and his own remixes.

the house of house record should get a mention on this thread as well as the beardo one, because it's amaaaaazing - carl craig-ish keys over ame-style building groove with male diva vox (in robert owens style) during the second half. it's on whatever we want so it's never going to be a hit, tho!

House of House record is hot and selling like hotcakes -- before it's even released!

has anyone heard the music institute 20th anniversary record? it's the first of three records of unreleased songs by derrick may and other music institute producers!

what is this House of House record people are talking about?

are louie vega sets good? he's gonna come to my country.

maybe not in more upscale clubs

too 'mainstream' huh?

no reason to alienate people who paid lots of money expecting that. before digital music there was the excuse that people going around the world like him could only carry so much vinyl, but it's no longer a valid explanation.

Who's House of House by?

House of House is the artist. The track is Rushing To Paradise (Walkin' These Streets) on the elusive Whatever We Want label.

You can hear it in the 2008 roundup from Jan 13th on Beats in Space http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists.html

It's great.

just got this now...v good...gonna be ubiquitous

yeah wow...really good. can these all these dudes stop making disco now in favour of this stuff?

gonna be ubiquitous

not with 600 copies it aint.

well I have an mp3 version...not leaking but someone will

ah ha. i forget about things like that in this new digital era.
actually, there is a piano/gospel track, (Celestial Choir - Stand On The Word (Lerry Levan Mix)) that opens the new benji b mix,
it's absolutely brilliant.
rest of the mix falls off after such a gorgeous start though.

that is a real classic

I think the House of House nicks the chord progression off Stand On The Word, actually.

can all these dudes stop making disco now in favour of this stuff

To be fair, none of the WEWW releases are really disco. Map of Africa are a rock band. Otterman Empire are, er, edits of rock. Quiet Village are just weird and Bobby Marie is kind of punk-funk. The Laughing Light of Plenty sound like something off the second Stone Roses album (I think this is actually a good thing). I've never heard the Godsy stuff, but it's not disco, apparently.

But I take your point that they've not released anything like this before.

it is actually sort of disco I guess, it starts off like house, that was when I made my comment. I am pretty ignorant on all of the other stuff you mentioned btw...

sorry, but really not keen on this track at all, nor this kind of period piece house track in general (didn't really dig "still going theme" or "blind" either)

the chord sequence (which seems to be stolen from "these are my people" by members of the house) and especially the vocal seem like the most insipid attempt at creating that 'timeless warehouse feeling'. at least "blind" has an interesting lyric

this is basically the white stripes of house

(i may take this back once heard out though, not that anyone cares)

celestial choir is my girlfriends favourite song, reminds me of wonderful nights with danny krivit at electric chair

I haven't heard this track but hating on "still going theme" is like hating on guide dog puppies.

I'm not keen to stray from eternally agreeing with Rio...I have to say. I enjoy this track but White Stripes of house is an eviscerating indictment and not just in some clever critical way.

fucking guide dog puppies

the new audio werner on hartchef discos, fuck. welcome back. (samples on his myspace).

ben klock album is fantastic, maybe not something to be played end to end but full of great tracks and not much of your average techno artists album filler or downtempo bits

OTM. The pseudo-dubstep stuff on there is kinda blowing my mind right now (i.e. "OK")

yo plsying at http://www.powerfm.org for next hour and a half, interchanging with a friend. me for next half hour then back to back

and thanks for that Drive D and Gosvha and Westboy - “Sacrament of Shamans” tip via What People Play, a doozy, even in spite of further pushing the overuse of self consciously featuring chants, mmmnhhmmn.

No House of House leak yet? Come on!

does it really sound that good?

you can get house of house from a blog.

Google nor Hype Machine have shit on House of House.

also, Omar-S interview with pipecock, hilarity ensues.

HOLY FUCK I AM IN CHICAGO FOR MOODYMAN'S VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY.

YESSSSS!!!!

sorry, just got really excited.

hypemachine doesn't come up with anything but try googling a lil' bit more ;)

yeah will do when i am not behind in my reading for friday.

jesus i am hyperventilating here. i have been waiting to see moodymann for the past two years. and now, just because i happen to be going to a conference in chicago, i get to see him. got my tickets already!!

Found it! Thanks.

I don’t think its particular outstanding, but it has nostalgic moments. The last three or four minutes reminds me of hearing Terrance Parker when I was a teenager.

Bobbins meet up at Moodymann!??!?! I'm in!

i'm down, too!! let's coordinate next week so we can find each other in the throng.

listened to 'House of House,' and my first impressions:

1) there is some definite riffage on 'Stand on the Word.' others who've mentioned this are totally right.

2) this is what i would describe as filter-deep-house. this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but i think that the Motor City Drum Ensemble releases do a better job of it.

now on to comparing nietzche to wojnarowicz. good day.

the house of house track is great but the best thing about it is the 'stand on the word' rip

and yeah it's pretty "period piece" - helps that i'm still finding this particular period fairly new, but even so there's this air that hangs over it - "white stripes of house" is too harsh a burn but it's the same feeling as i got from the H&LA record

what in heaven has that house of house track to do with deep house? i also think id like all these european house producers a bit more if they stopped putting bloody 'deep' or 'motor city'. The musics great, why do you have to then go and call it something so cringey that it ends up feeling as authentic as supermarket own brand deoderant

to be fair lynx isn't that much more authentic...

i mean you need to go to duty free to get really authentic deodorant
