Techno/house bobbins, 2009

new raudive on macro is fantastic, bleepy dancefloor sahko style tracks.

I think the Arto Mwambe remix of Osborne's "Wait A Minute Now" is going to steal a few hearts. Ethereal deep house! Think Agnes's dreamiest recent remixes with Phil Lauer & CB's sense of humor.

The whole EP's pretty great, actually.

the Osbourne album is fantastic. i'm excited to hear that remix.

Okay:
Jamie Jones- Summertime

loving the Tony Lionni/Radio Slave split 12" on Ostgut Ton

spektre @ glade 2008 on veryverywrongindeed is darkly addictive.
the production is wonderful, though it does feel that the 70 minutes on the set cuts off at the moment that they ramped up the fun factor.

a2 on the new ra.h 12" sounds like some deutsche neue welle shit.

Really, really enjoying this Stimming album so far.

i wanna hear this, though i am disappointed it doesn't have "saibot" (unless it has a new name now)

yeah the stimming album is tops. parts of it sound like what people were expecting from cc and mvo's recomposed, but there are a lot of surprises. the production is really really clean, but it's balanced with a lot of non-digital sounds (like, sounds people w/ instruments actually make (instruments incl tape recorders)).

the other techno album i have been playing a lot of is kenny larkin's keys, strings, and tambourines

one of the best things about both of these is that they have a sense of humor in addition to the serious musicality. it's refreshing.

What is this about Cadenza releasing an EP every three weeks? (so says Resident Advisor) Either wasy I'm interested in this Ernesto Ferreyra release (since I saw him live I've been waiting for him to release this one pad heavy track with vocals going "in the air" that is just heavenly, so I get excited every time I see something new with his name on it. He's a good producer anyways)

I can't believe no one has mentioned that Hard Wax's website has been down for over a month, at least. Any insights?

i'm really enjoying the "josh wink" album, though i must admit it bothers me to no end that pipecock doesn't like it.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned this:
http://www.discogs.com/Basic-Soul-Unit-Dank/release/1685257

hard wax is up for me! top pick this week: mirage ft. chip e, 'jack trax' repress. "a must."

yeah no problems with hard wax from over here either.

my favorite pick from hardwax is that zomby double 12

the b-side of that basic soul unit single sounds great! (the flip is good too, just not my thing)

littlewhitearbuds, i can't believe it's taken you a month to figure out you're the only person it's down for!

be nice, maybe he's been blacklisted.

"basic soul unit"

germans are such herbs

mmmm deep. has it a nice big pitched down minstrelly vocal on top as well?

hardwax is down for me too

I don't think Basic Soul Unit is german. His first track released 6 years ago on the first Iwanai Music 12" is by far his best shit.

the germans should stop being such ny/chi/det stans. they're much better when they're being, um, german.

Hardwax hasn't been down for me, either. I can go back at least the last month of their RSS feed, too...

JOSH WINK album is REALLY good

Basic Soul Unit are from Toronto (and yeah, I don't think they came up with the name a year and a half ago either). It's good to see some local characters doing well, I should probably listen to that.

whoops, it's a he, not a they.

fair enough, i thought i saw on the discogs release page that they were german. motorcitysoul is unforgivable though

and not because of a backlash against "nu-deep" or whatever, it's just an awful name

Can't argue with that! (funnily enough I didn't read your first post and thought "almost as bad as motorcity soul")

yeah never liked the name motorcitysoul.

Weird, I can access Hard Wax from IE but not Firefox. What kind of messed up shit is that?

The latest from Contentismissing is pretty great. The St. Plomb track is my favorite by far.

... i thought 'almost as bad as motor city drum ensemble'.

motorcitysoul's name makes me clam up inside and forget how good they are

-Anton Zap on Uzuri

- Monika (effing) Kruse remixes

- Paul Randolph.

JOSH WINK

speaking of Uzuri, my man Jitterbug just dropped a 12" for those guys and it has my favorite of his tracks on it, "Speaker's Corner".

guys, my country indonesia is having an annual dance music festival and the lineup is:

- Joakim (Live Band)
- The Glimmers (Dj Set)
- Alter Ego (Live Set)
- Roman Fluegel (Dj Set)
- VJ Andy Mutton

should i stay or should i go? i've never heard any of their live sets before. thanks.

unless you're broke, go. how many DJs of that caliber come to Indonesia? that said, i've only seen Joakim live (awesome) and heard a couple Roman Fleugel sets (awesome). but i think yes, goo!!!

actually i'm mighty interested in seeing roman fluegel, but it's alter ego and the glimmers that i'm afraid of. i'm afraid i won't be able to stand their ELECTRO-ness :(

dude, just go

what do the glimmers play in their sets?

Someone give me some Pier Bucci S/D info, have had poor luck with him in the past and want to get it right this time as I saw him live last night, preceding Guillaume & tCD's and the Mole, also live, and during The Mole's set Guillaume played along with this amazing drum pad that looks like a hot plate and etc. and I became aware that I never realized how Urgent and Key a Mole/Guillaume collaboration or at least them remixing each other would be (which would make sense since I imagine they know each other/are probably friends).

can't stop listening to the album of the year : JOSH WINK

stfu about josh wink already. its 2009.

2009 THE YEAR OF WINK

JOSH WINK
