Boiler Room isn't funded by Red Bull or Scion or some gaming peripheral operation?

I mean it is seriously, I don't even know
It's a big fuck you from her. Thom Yorke's one is also shocking. It's amazing how a seasoned musician like him seemed to not have a single clue about flow and sequencing. And I haven't even talked about the mixing yet.

I used to be able to podcast these but haven't been able to for a while. Has anyone else had trouble?

I was at the Thom Yorke one, seemed OK at the time although I haven't gone back and listened to it again.
Podcast seems to be broken to me, but they're mostly on soundcloud for dl?

Weird that Boiler Room went from being something run from the offices of Platform magazine (a terrible, terrible VICE rip-off) into this huge, gloabal thing innit?

It's the people who run it that make it the Boiler Room, not the location.

OK that Dixon & Ame set is amazing. Obsessed with this now: https://soundcloud.com/sixthfloydrecords/konstantin-sibold-unreleased . I can see the comparison to Superpitcher, track sounds a lot like Mushroom or the Carsten Jost remix on Immer.

Never had time to listen to the Ame/Dixon mix last year, so thanks to everyone here reminding me about it - I listened to it twice yesterday and am an hour into it again today. Absolutely wonderful - any other mixes that it reminds anyone of?

not sure how a locked-off camera pointed at a 2-hr DJ set is comparable to smug techno-utopianism?
i really like how they put the DJ in the center of the crowd too, although you do get absolute twats crowding the decks and practically piggy backing on the DJs, i don't know how patience is kept
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 14 February 2015 17:05 (nine years ago) link
only seen a couple of these, lutz and koolt in uruguay was an enjoyable set, some good hawaiian shirts to go along the genial sounds

what is smug techno utopianism? i have no idea what that strawman even is. i just don't want to be on a webcam and i don't want to deal with other idiots who love to be on a webcam, which is like 50% of the crowd at a local spin-off of the boiler room concept called ... "c0ntrol room". barf
― mattresslessness, Saturday, 14 February 2015 18:31 (nine years ago) link
i mean i'm glad i get to see all these cool sets but at the same time it can be hard on the being-here-now energy that makes a party worthwhile ime (is that smug techno utopianism?) to turn it into a worldwide vlogging event.

oh ok, that makes sense
― mattresslessness, Saturday, 14 February 2015 18:52 (nine years ago) link
i think the comparison to ted talks is otm in the sense that the aura of performing professionalism has overshadowed the premise of free-flowing idea exchange. i don't know if there was ever a similar utopian element to the boiler room concept internally but when it became a thing i remember being excited by the feeling that the floodgates of dance music, deejaying and party knowledge were about to be opened. now it is obviously just another brand riding on the social media model of participants doing the work for its benefit, not that it ever pretended to be anything else. anyway, not the kind of work i'm excited about doing at a party. just my .02.
― mattresslessness, Saturday, 14 February 2015 19:14 (nine years ago) link
idk techno but i found the snd one of this on youtube and it looked rather odd with those two in the middle of a room in laptop glare, especially given mark fell's prior quotes
I'm far more comfortable with an audience reacting negatively to what I do, than reacting positively. Like if I’m DJing and people start to nod their heads or move about a bit, I really find it quite unpleasant.

I haven't really paid attention to br in a long time but the ones I was into enough to return to were:
That kutmah one in the airstream or w/e it is, where he'd lost his laptop and so played suicide and os mutantes records, prob my fav oneThomallaDakim
There are so many online mix places and great online radio stations where you can search for mixes that I don't see how any of these places will really be able to preserve their online brand or whatever. There was an interview w/ the ppl who started it that some online publication put up recently and they were talking abt focusing more on classical and jazz shows so maybe there will be more ted for other genres in the future

I saw it getting passed around on Twitter, apparently enough for Riz La Teef to delete his account, then a lot of djs coming to his defense:
I feel sorry for Riz La Teef. He publicly apologised to Sherelle for the wheel up on Boiler Room & she accepted. He got caught in the moment and twitter cancelled him. Over what he thought was paying a compliment. At FWD people used to lean in from the crowd & do that every week.— Plastician (@Plastician) February 12, 2019
