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.
― the table is the table, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 00:52 (fifteen years ago) link
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

where'd motiivi go anyway? it feels like forever since their last single.
― BleepBot, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 19:32 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

this is actually a december 2008 bobbin but i just got a vinyl copy of liebe detail 25 - juno 6 "molto in basso" is easily one of the best techno tracks of recent times. one of those perfect replenishing after-hours beats. incredible.

Workshop 07 sounding niiiiice.
― matt2, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 21:35 (fifteen years ago) link
I thought KDJ's set was enjoyable but not at all what I expected. His set was more what I would expect from a random house party DJ, both in style and substance. That said the choices were pretty dead on and people were having a great time. I also didn't hear him drop a single house track, but I only stayed for a while because my boyfriend was exhausted (also we showed up at 10:45 to get in free, ended up meeting Kenny himself which was awesome; what a sweet guy). Did it ever get housier?

det.riots a mixed bag, couple of great tracks but a lot of silly blaxploitation filler. Could really have just been half the length. But, par for the course really.
― straightola, Thursday, 19 February 2009 11:51 (fifteen years ago) link
I thought Villalobos was the one who hopped on NONSENSE TRENDS AND BULLSHIT rather than doing the same thing over and over? I mean isn't doing the same fucking thing he's been doing what everyone praises KDJ etc for?
I mean you knew someone would bite on this table...

it's hard to see det.riot as an outright disappointment in the context of moodymann's recent output, definitely stronger than the preceding few 12"s. still not one of his stronger releases but at least has a couple of strong tracks and an amusing concept/presentation.
― resolved, Thursday, 19 February 2009 13:05 (fifteen years ago) link
and KDJ as "random house party DJ" -- i thought it was well-known this was his style. he's not much of a DJ, freely admits it himself. i doubt it got much housier.

LWE-- it got much housier. i was there until about an hour before the end. my flight back to the west coast was HELL on sunday, but worth it.
ron4n-- whatever, i think it comes down to the fact that KDJ may be doing the same thing, but i like what he's doing. villalobos hasn't really excited me since....uh.....maybe Africolaps or Dummolator. tho admittedly, vasco has its moments-- just not my bag.

I guess I should say that really it's the B-side that does it for me. The production on the A-side is nice, but it uses that most tired of tricks and has a voice repeating (yes that's right) "Detroit" for the length of the track. Although honestly I'm not sure what is more tired now, actually doing that or pointing out the tiredness of doing that. Anyway, the track itself is nice enough.
The B-side contains two bombs, though. Actually, getting rid of the A and giving each of the B tracks a side a piece would've made an exceptional record. I'm not complaining, though. Hear for yourself here: http://extramusicnew.blogspot.com/2009/02/even-tuell-workshop-07-workshop007.html
Overall I haven't been as crazy over the Workshop releases as many have, but 06 and 07 have been great.
― matt2, Thursday, 19 February 2009 20:51 (fifteen years ago) link
i actually found that sucker in the blogosphere, it is indeed pretty good. despite "detroit." i need to check out 06, i think the only other ones i've heard are the first one and kassem mosse (which i really dig).
― DONKEY CANCER in action (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 20 February 2009 04:09 (fifteen years ago) link
I really wish that "Detrot" sample weren't in there. I actually like the *sound* of it and can understand why it was left in; there's a weird apple-bite to the way its spoken, a strange cadence when it's repeated over and over. actually in a sense i guess you could say that's what's interesting about the use of the word "Detroit," it just sucks the meaning out of it and renders it a nonsense mantra, which could actually be a rather clever critique of the persistent Detroit/Chicago hagiography of German house/techno. But I doubt that was necessarily the intention. Or who knows?
― pshrbrn, Friday, 20 February 2009 08:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Yes, I like the articulation of the D word too - sounds like a British accent. But really, what's the point. The producer is trying to promote his Detroit credentials?
― sam500, Friday, 20 February 2009 08:45 (fifteen years ago) link

Damn, the mix was taken down at the behest of... Smart Bar? Does the club have any ownership of the sets performed there? I would think that would be up to the artists.

― mark e, Thursday, 26 February 2009 15:07 (fifteen years ago) link
wasn't sure as to the calling of the mix the berlin mix, as i was concerned that the band were surfing on the berlin zeitgeist and being a little corney (that or it was some group injoke), but apparently, it's been called that because the band mixed it in Schönefeld airport on their laptops across a wireless connection.

it sounds different from most stuff i've heard lately, though not terribly distinctive.
isnt slow and seep as zeitgeisty as it gets? my housemate picked it up, i intend to not go to bed all weekend so a lot of techno catch ups are on the cards

I don't mind Wink so much anymore but I can remember having a similar vendetta, just because he just seemed so terminally popular in Ireland. Also he has that everlasting career thing without really being mad interesting or iconic or anything else really.
I heard the RA podcast is great tho.

the Josh Wink podcast isn't particulary good imo, however this week's Thomas Brinkmann one is great.

i was really surprised when i saw him in belfast in about 2001, i was dragged there and then he was dropping tunes like 4heros mix of URs amazon, and kept it deep and quite synopated at times, unbelievable. thinking about that has just made me realise the similarity of that tune and EQD002, trippy arpeggios and chuggy beats.
― straightola, Friday, 27 February 2009 11:55 (fifteen years ago) link
should really post in bobbins of the past but check the similarity. goosebumps listening to it again.
