Techno/house bobbins, 2009

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

deep-oderant

Matt John's Radio Self sounds pretty cool from the samples, hopefully Perlon will have a good year in 2009.

i wonder if perlon will last through the rest of the year.

Yeah, how are the now former neutonians dealing with the fallout?

Older matter, but on the subject of Matt John, how 'essenital purchase' is Joker Family Pack II, outside of Hawaii You?

i'm not even just thinking about neuton. how many records are they actually selling? maybe it's just me and all of my friends, but we're not buying vinyl like we used to. coupled with perlon's refusal to sell digital, i wonder if they can keep operating for long. unless, of course, they keep focussing on established artists like villalobos and a guy called gerald.

Who's distributing Perlon these days?

i would be quite suprised if Perlon were selling a substantially lesser amount of records at the moment than they have been the last few years.

Indeed. Villalobos, Melchior and Luciano aren't going anywhere. And people like STL are getting more hype.

On a separate note, I'd be surprised if Take My Breath Away isn't at least as popular as Chromophobia was. The core of No Turning Back (Beautiful Life minus the cringe) and Azzurra is really quite good.

If anyone is going to the Moodymann Smart Bar show and sees a guy with glow in the dark fruit on his shirt (hey, I'm trying to stand out), come say hello.

Can I just stop in here for a sec to big up "Rushing to Paradise"?

i dont think theres been any shortage of bigging up for that track, been all over the beardo thread the last while

Here's hoping they release an instrumental for it (not big on those vocals at all)

Naw, I love the growling-baritone male diva vocals. As long as it takes them to appear, they are completely unexpected, too and kinda drive the Paradise Garage tribute aspect home.

Take My Breathe Away is a great album. Colors reminds me of New Order. Lots of great mid-tempo / non dancefloor cuts.

(aka take the Rushin' talk back to Beardo!)

I really have no idea even what Beardo is. I've never clicked on that thread.

wouldn't have thought there was a need to make this thread any more of a ghetto than it already is.

i'm gonna have to give the full ben klock record a try because the sampler is pretty great.

actually i was wrong, it was this thread a few weeks ago. i cant actually think of a duff track on that ben klock album, in f much more varied than his usual stuff solo and with dettman

yeah i was surprised at how much i enjoyed that ben klock album.

gui boratto album: two effective if unsurprising bangers ('colors', 'ballroom'), a couple of vaguely pretty third-tier rehashes of 'beautiful life', a whole load of in-one-ear-out-the-other. bleh.

Martyn and Surgeon remixes of Shed are absolutely ace. Experienced 2562 drop Martyn's remix of "Another Wedged Chicken" to a packed club and watched faces light up. Good stuff and awesome to see Martyn entering the Ostgut sphere of influence.

Whoops, sorry, not techno/house enough. But when Sherburne has gone all wonky on us, can we really be expected to stick to the script?

hey lwe, sorry i didn't say hi. i went straight from the AWP conference at the Hilton to Boystown to Smart Bar= no internet time.

anyway, that set pretty much convinced me of what i already suspected: that 95% of DJing nowadays is garbage. KDJ gets big ups-- Riders on the Storm and scratchy gospel and funky deep shit out the waz.

i mean, in the past year, the only sets i've really dug have been his and morgan geist's.

playing "riders on the storm" has become a bit of a dj cliche recently. i saw ame, villalobos, and theo parrish all drop it at some point last year

the one time i saw kdjizzle play he was terrible and self-indulgent although the crowd (30 somethings in "love saves the day" t-shirts) seemed to lap it up. he played "freaky mf" like 4 times which was cool though.

jesus that sounds awful. KDJs on at cargo in a few weeks which is such a shit venue id sack it off on that principal. Anyone heard the new thing hes put out? ive heard its pretty similar to det.riot in that theres 2 good tracks then a load of farting about

is this a thread where i can say i wish motiivi tuntematon would do some more stuff?

love that making failed tune, the end reminds me of sunn0))

where'd motiivi go anyway? it feels like forever since their last single.

KDJ was not particularly self-indulgent. that and from past live sets i've heard from him, he's been doing Riders on the Storm for a while. just a note.

also, how are Villalobos and Ame's sets NOT self-indulgent? an honest question-- to me, Villalobos is going nowhere doing the same fucking thing he's been doing, and Ame rock their own shit CONSTANTLY in their sets.
