haha, please point out where i ever claim to be a writer. i may write, but it's because no one else does it, not because i think my writing is any good. funny though, people still read it even though it sucks.

Wink is a perfectly nice guy and back on form going by that newest release. in the rave days he was always friendly, approachable and actually fun to talk to.
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:07 (fifteen years ago) link
i wish i could work myself up to a longform post on how good the new release is but 10 paragraphs is way beyond me these days
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:13 (fifteen years ago) link
when exactly was he "on form" before? maybe i just don't get it because i missed the rave thing, but even when i was just getting into electronic music i realised that he was trash. he may very well be a nice guy, but a lot of people are nice. that means nothing when it comes down to their music. his music is not just bad, it is awful.
― pipecock, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:13 (fifteen years ago) link
his music is great! i can prove it ...
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:18 (fifteen years ago) link
"hearhear" is not so good but "20 to 20" and the new one are great, anyway
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:20 (fifteen years ago) link
come to think of it, that whole east coast rave thing (wink, nigel richards, feelgood, scott henry, etc) was really pretty bad. now that i think of it, the west coast shit (hardkiss, rabbit in the moon, donald glaude, simply jeff, etc) was bad as well. and then of course there was the florida crap like icey. i think rave and me were just not meant to be.
― pipecock, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:20 (fifteen years ago) link
hardkiss are great too
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:21 (fifteen years ago) link
oh yeah i forgot about how bad NYC "techno" was: beltram (outside his few obvious classics that i do like, but not even that much), bones, etc. god, raving in the US was a pit of obnoxiously terrible music.
― pipecock, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:22 (fifteen years ago) link
do you actually dislike this stuff or do you just dislike the fact that you can't contextualize it as part of THE GREAT BLACK TRADITION of techno and house
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:22 (fifteen years ago) link
no i just hated all of this before i knew anything about techno and house music. it was once i started listening to the good stuff that i noticed the correlation, and then upon reading more about it i discovered that it was connected in the way that it was a culture before rave that was quite separate from raving.
― pipecock, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:24 (fifteen years ago) link
i don't think it's quite as separate as you'd like to think, but whatever
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:25 (fifteen years ago) link
i would say there is about 15% overlap, and that represents most of the worst music to come out of NYC, Chicago, and Detroit.
― pipecock, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:27 (fifteen years ago) link
i mean there's a whole scene of dudes like dj sneak and derrick carter and green velvet and whatnot who were playing american rave and playing stuff in the chicago tradition, but then they had the advantage of actually growing up in chicago where they had access to stuff like that.
why can't you just appreciate US rave music on its own merits the way you'd appreciate, i don't know, jungle?
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:29 (fifteen years ago) link
are you really calling armand van helden the worst 15% of music to come out of NYC?
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 12 April 2009 02:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Going to try to resist saying anything about new Wink until I've finished listening to it. It's going to be hard, though.
― lucked up (lukas), Sunday, 12 April 2009 09:16 (fifteen years ago) link
Now I finished and I find I can't say anything. My ears feel awfully clean, though, and I think I want to fight a truck.

bill withers - who is he (henrik schwarz edit) - love this, rad little string interjections and the trick he does with the stereo channels in a few of the samples is very smooth
tobias freund has been remixing his share recently, s/d? russ gabriel, franco cinelli, alex under, nhar??
― lucas pine, Monday, 13 April 2009 00:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Russ Gabriel remix is pretty great. Not feeling the October remix, but I think I'm missing the point of that whole release. Haven't heard the others you mentioned.
― littlewhiteearbuds, Monday, 13 April 2009 03:22 (fifteen years ago) link
how is russ gabriel's new stuff?

― mikebee (BATTAGS), Monday, 13 April 2009 21:55 (fifteen years ago) link
tools are more useful than music. for instance a bottle opener opens a bottle. music on the other hand offers a path into utility free worlds.

Yo, I didn't know where else to ask, and it didn't seem worth starting a new thread, but song ID from this new Sprint commercial? It drives me nuts every time I see it.

re: the move d id
is it just me or does that fast melody sound like it's from another song?
― elan, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 16:17 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i suppose that video is a little exploitive, but not so much compared to titling your recent dj mix "fabric 45 - omar s (detroit)"

thanks, groovypanda. song sounded so familiar... guess it wasn't, though.

STL, "Silent State"
My mind is blown. What an elegant tune. Will someone please force Stefan to make an album for, say, Perlon? Or hell, Smallville if it's going to sound anything like "Silent State."

I've not seen it streaming anywhere yet, but it's leaked all over the place, sadly.

i been repping Culoe de Song for a while now. love the RA podcast.
i have tried and tried and tried to like Josh Wink, but i still hate him. the new album, the older stuff, all of it-- i just can't get into it, and don't really have the time or inclination to investigate the reasons.
― the table is the table, Sunday, 19 April 2009 06:26 (fifteen years ago) link

― GÖTT DAT SCHING (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 19 April 2009 08:06 (fifteen years ago) link
'upbuilding' always gets mentioned with tracks that have those slow layer by layer builds - i think of 'balandine' as an obvious example.
