I'm about halfway through this and it is great! It sounds exactly like every good afterparty in someone's house when you're still dancing but the sun is coming up

Listening while cleaning, it started raining on a warm summer day: love it

Thanks willem and boxedjoy. That afterparty / suns coming up vibe is exactly what I was going for, so glad you felt it too.

Nice one, thanks!

That was really well done. How much preparation did you do beforehand?
― skip, Thursday, 25 June 2020 15:48 (three years ago) link
Hey Skip, I did quite a bit of preparation. It started by just pulling the records and finding something to start with and something for the first mix. Then I grabbed all the digital files for the records I pulled and arranged them by BPM to give me an idea of how they stacked up. I also used the digital files to workout mixpoints and arrangement since it was easier than using the vinyl and less destructive as well. Then I just hit record, and again, and again, and again until I figured out the mixpoints and sequence and got a take that wasn't horrible. At the last minute I added 3 new records in the mix which added complexity. These aren't great songs for beatmatching, and unfortunately my vinyl beatmatching skills have evaporated after nearly 2 decades of digital only mixing now. These are really songs I wanted to hear together after obsessively playing the Spiritually Ibiza compilation when the first sunny spring days hit. All in all this took me about 2 weeks to get the songs and run through a mix that didn't have major trainwrecks. There are definitely poor mixes throughout, but overall the mix I uploaded was the best version of that effort. I could do it with the digital files and have a 'perfect' mix, and I may still do that, but for now, I like the raw / amateur vibe of this mix. It does sound like a 'back to mine' or morning after style mix I would have loved in Summer 92.

There were about 15 or so records I pulled but didn't end up using, including: Wrote For Luck, Cascades, Back to Life, Get the Message, Autumn Love, Drop the Deal, Cantamilla, Crazy and some others from the era that I just couldn't make work.

Highly recommend this new single / EP (it's 33mins) by A Separate Reality. It was recommended to me by Vinyl Dreams SF and has proven to be what i call a 'flipper' - a record that I just keep flipping over and over without losing interest. It's also fairly cheap, which is a welcome change. Comments on the title? Feels a bit Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark to me, or in line with some other titles that are just a little too close to parody.

Side A: 1. Sounds like Studio 2. Sounds like Mark Barrott 3. Sounds like Wally Badarou - not meaning this as a put down, more of a hint of the vibe.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 29 June 2020 22:16 (three years ago) link
in my world that could in no way be considered a put down

Cheers for the rec bld, A+ and worth it for the opening track alone
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Tuesday, 30 June 2020 17:01 (three years ago) link
This album has been in heavy rotation the last couple of weeks. As well as those mentioned in the blurb I also get echoes of The Durutti Column. Definitely recommended.

I was going to post the same album here. It's really good for something that was supposedly a live / unedited performance.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 3 September 2020 15:43 (three years ago) link
yeah, i don't get how it claims to be that - he says it's a jam and there are loads of mistakes, but it's perfectly formed

Domenique Dumont has a new album out in November. It's a soundtrack to a German silent film from the 30s. This is the only track up yet, and it sounds very nice.

Is this a fleshed out version of the SoundCloud I shared earlier in the year. I'm hyped!
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 11:29 (three years ago) link
I searched out the SoundCloud link I shared on this thread. It was indeed the same project, and it no longer is on SoundCloud. Will be interesting to see if this is a repackaging of the exact same thing or what.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 15:14 (three years ago) link
I was really hoping they'd release it.
― Evan, Wednesday, 16 September 2020 15:19 (three years ago) link
Relistening to Domenique Dumont’s miniatures album and it has so many breezy, gorgeous moments. Specially love how the guitar sounds.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 25 September 2020 15:58 (three years ago) link
At this point, I'd say that's my favorite of the two.
