I might actually try and make it out to NYC for this. No guarantees though. But still . . . that lineup . . . [[faints]]

Having Fun With Aphex On Stage!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 January 2004 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

:( unfortunately in SF we get Kid 606 & the Tigerbeat6 Boys vs. Rephlex. I'm still gonna go just for Soundmurderer though (and Club Six is a fine enough venue.)

This show makes me wish I lived in NYC though.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 01:26 (twenty-two years ago)

hey alex is anything cool going on in SF tomorrow or saturday?

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 30 January 2004 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Checks Flavorpill.

Um, nothing I'm particularly into, but certainly a bunch of stuff is happening (I would rather be flayed alive than see Dynasty or Dynasty Handbag or Dynasty Blowjob or whatever, ick.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Dynasty is dire

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 30 January 2004 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

how about a good club night on friday or saturday - somewhere that i'll hear lil jon and felix the housekatt and the rapture?

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:05 (twenty-two years ago)

holy. fuck. [faints too]

i'm gutted that i missed bogdan when he visited glasgow (a couple of months ago; i only just got into a few weeks ago now i love love love 'my love i love' & 'renegade platinum...'); aphex twin dj'd as well apparently.

this sounds pretty good.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Hahaha good luck with that Vahid, if I knew of one I'd be there.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Is Aphex Twin actually a good DJ? What sort of stuff does he even play?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:09 (twenty-two years ago)

mayer and superpitcher are playing chicago on 12 march. woo!

― tricky disco (disco stu), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:14 (twenty-two years ago)

slightly roundabout related: i just found my flyer fr kompakt's first visit to britain in one of my drawers:

thomas fehlmann (live), tobias thomas (dj set), the modernist (live) titled, haha, 'Eat Your Own Ears'!

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Oooooh maybe that means they will come by SF way too. *droooools*

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:17 (twenty-two years ago)

mayer and superpitcher are playing chicago on 12 march. woo!

yes!! I was out of the country the last time around and was gutted at missing it. Looks as if DJ SS, Grooverider, and Shy FX will be playing upstairs that night (smart bar/metro). (And Chicago has the Rephlex show on St. Patrick's Day at the Empty Bottle!)

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:47 (twenty-two years ago)

(haha time to get in touch with my homiez at rephlex i think)

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Well I imagine the Pitcher/Mayer will be playing non-stop (when I saw them in Cologne they were on for over six hours--no breaks) so I imagine you can sneak out briefly (for the Soundmurderer set ;0) and come back and not feel like you've missed too much.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:56 (twenty-two years ago)

i feel a little giddy just thinking about it

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:58 (twenty-two years ago)

wait, wait...saw them in COLOGNE?!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:59 (twenty-two years ago)

come over here so i can kick your ass

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Hahaha you should be really JEALOUS of Jen, MICHAEL MAYER kissed her on both cheeks when we went home to sleep at 6am!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 03:07 (twenty-two years ago)

i am sure he would kiss me on both cheeks too, the tart

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 30 January 2004 03:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually all the Kompakt people (and just general folks too) seemed really amazed that people would take a side trip to Cologne (we were mostly in Paris for the rest of time) just to see them. "You are from San Francisco, but there must be stuff like this all the time, right?!?!?"

Btw, is Mayer really gay or is that just rumor?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 03:14 (twenty-two years ago)

ummm I am pretty sure he is gay, but that is from nothing more than my own observation.

I wonder if this is coming to the west coast? It would be cool to see superpitcher.

― hector (hector), Friday, 30 January 2004 03:27 (twenty-two years ago)

As I learned from watching commercials on MTV in German.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 04:13 (twenty-two years ago)

sechs?

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 30 January 2004 04:16 (twenty-two years ago)

IN ONE NIGHT???

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 30 January 2004 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Although apparently it is spelled sechs, so nevermind hahaha. I'm not sure that's great evidence though. Not like oh seeing Mayer making out with a women is great evidence, for example (see that's my SURPRISE evidence and I had to spring it early, damn you.) But I'd always heard Mayer was gay, so I was just kind of curious why people thought that he was (I mean whether it was something he'd said in interviews or whatever.) Not that it matters in the slightest. Just idle curiousity on my part.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i have no idea either, honestly (and feel silly speculating about it). that title is SO provocative, though (and perfect too!) so i couldn't resist.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 30 January 2004 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Did I learn that sechs (sex) was six in German in one night?!?!?! I learned in ONE MINUTE! Every commercial was for some text messaging system or cell phone icon or whatever that went SEX-SEX-SEX-SEX-SEX while flashing the number SIX over and over (sometimes the number seven was put in for a switcheroo)!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Sind Sie einsam? Wollen Sie heiße FRAUEN treffen? SIE KÖNNEN! WÄHLSCHEIBE SECHS SECHS SIEBEN SECHS SECHS! Sie werden sich freuen, den Sie machten!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 06:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually Mayer only had nice things to say about the APT and crowds in NYC. I got the impression it was his fav part of the American tour (although this might have had something to do with it being the first stop on said tour, I imagine by the end it could be a little exhausting.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 January 2004 06:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm curious about this Volume place; it seems they have a good booker, getting Kompakt/Rephlex and Dizzee in the first two months. I might go tonight for Thomas and Eric. Has anyone been?

― Magic City (ano ano), Friday, 30 January 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow. Why does APT always get such a bad rap? They absolutely have the best taste in NYC as far as folks they bring in/over to play. It's a small space, sure, but it still beats hearing someone like Mayer at Bowery Ballroom or something.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Friday, 30 January 2004 15:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Plus, just about everyone who comes over to play there digs it . Disclaimer: No, I don't work for APT, but many friends DJ there/work there.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Friday, 30 January 2004 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

does anybody know about an LA date??

agreed that apt has a wicked booker, and they pay/treat djs extremely well. however, the basement space is tiny and badly set up for actually having events and drink prices are verging on exorbitant.

Is Aphex Twin actually a good DJ? What sort of stuff does he even play?

aphex is a tremendous dj, actually. he plays an insanely exhausting set of jungle, old acid, etc. it's pretty relentless and you can catch pieces of his tunes, but they're reworked into a more or less nonstop rush. i think he throws in lots of old early 90's hardcore type stuff too.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

very impressed by both superpitcher and mayer's dancing skills (especially the way mayer does a sort of george formby knee-bend thing) -and lots of movement from the hips too. They were a lot more engaging and, if you will, crowd-oriented than i had expected. Although I have to agree with mmmmsalt on the tameness of the crowd -the same thing happened at the Luomo gig there on Thursday, a very sedate bunch altogether...

― Conor (Conor), Monday, 15 March 2004 17:19 (twenty-two years ago)

that Luomo gig was excellent as music and lame as crowd-activity, but I think that's in part because it was (a) announced last-minute and (b) probably populated by post-WMC'ers who were plain exhausted. maybe not, though.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 15 March 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I, too, was saddened more people didn't reciprocate Mayer und Spitcher's obvious love for us. Normally I'd say the Kompakt sound's well-suited for a phyically passive-yet-intellectually attentive listen, but Mayer, in particular, was dropping the type of stormers that I'd have thought would bring the riddim to more people's feet.

That said, what an effin great night! Definitely worth the price of admission (and lodging and driving to y fro Boston) - simply fantastisch!

― nader (nader), Monday, 15 March 2004 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

What kind of stuff did Luomo play, Matos? I'm considering seeing him in Boston tomorrow.....

The Kompakt night in NYC still has my head spinning, hopefully Mayer will decide to come back when he's about to release his full length.

On a related note, anyone notice on the "booking" section of the Kompakt website, they now have pictures of all of their artists? Nice to finally put a picture to some names.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 15 March 2004 19:32 (twenty-two years ago)

he mostly just remixed the fuck out of The Present Lover to in some cases extraordinary effect. his relick of "Shelter" was Shep Pettibone-esque

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 15 March 2004 19:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Someday, somewhere, somebody will call me "Shep Pettibone-esque"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 15 March 2004 19:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Mayer and Superpitcher were amazing. Does anyone know if Mayer played a Kelis accapella - and if so, over what track?

Thanks...

― James Jung, Monday, 15 March 2004 20:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Kelis: yes. Over which track: dunno.

Why did I think it was an M.Mayer remix? (Perhaps it was the sleep deprivation voices in my head.) Or was it...wishful thinking?

― nader (nader), Monday, 15 March 2004 21:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks Nader - yeah my memory is pretty vague as well.

― James Jung, Monday, 15 March 2004 21:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Also,

Does anybody know if Mayer played his mix of "Welcome Back Kotter?"

― james jung, Monday, 15 March 2004 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

"he mostly just remixed the fuck out of The Present Lover to in some cases extraordinary effect. his relick of "Shelter" was Shep Pettibone-esque."

:-( This thread is torturing me!!!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 15 March 2004 21:40 (twenty-two years ago)

In Miami, Mayer played the Kelis "Milkshake" a cappela over a St. Plomb track off Mental Groove..... fucking devastating.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

haha! yeah but there's a few border crossings to consider there, prisoners don't do that too easily I hear

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 03:06 (twenty-two years ago)

did anyone noticed a sound crew in a back corner at the controls ?

it seemed that Volume hires a Sound System including sound guys and equipment on a special arrangement for each gig.

this time they were 3 or four dreadlocked rastafarians AND their 4 sets of speakers.

the reason i think so is if anyone have seen this particular speaker's design like they had em at Volume on saturday

you can see exactly the same king of speakers in Jamaica

my friend made a picture when he was there recently

3 levels,
subs
mids
tweeters
actually 3 rows of tweeters, maybe 30 or 40 of them on top of each out of 4 speaker sets

Looked fantastic
sounded superb
Sound System, Jamaican Style

― serge, Tuesday, 16 March 2004 03:07 (twenty-two years ago)

in the Rephlex room or the Kompakt room?

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 03:08 (twenty-two years ago)

in a big one, the kompak room

4 huge sets of them
about 10 feet high 6-7 wide and deep

Kompakt over Jamaican Soundsystems. Tracks that sound like Lego blocks. Tracks heavier than Vitalic? What next: they were giving away pure MDMA at the door? :)

"that Luomo gig was excellent as music and lame as crowd-activity, but I think that's in part because it was (a) announced last-minute and (b) probably populated by post-WMC'ers who were plain exhausted. maybe not, though."

-right on both counts, I think. Although there is something in the theory that the Williamsburg massive just don't really know what to do at these kinds of events, and treat djs like bands, to be watched rather than danced to. (I'm thinking more about Mayer and co. here)

Anyone at Luomo last night in the Sullivan Room? Good grief! Even better than the Volume night, the version he did of "tessio" could plausibly be called "prismatic" -almost makes you want to resurrect the phrase "shimmering shards" (an old Smash Hits reference there -it was one of their stock phrases for mocking egregiously pretentious music journalism). Still, though. Blimey.

― Conor (Conor), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

grrrr. now i'm jealous.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

true about willliambsburgian crowd

they are a bit out of date and vibe

or maybe it is something about Volume that makes people passive
i was there 3 times and it was the same vibe deficiency
i am not saying parties went bad
bad crowds need some attitude adjustment))))

― serge, Tuesday, 16 March 2004 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

or maybe it is something about Volume that makes people passive

The crowd was definitely a factor...loads of people standing and staring at Superpitcher and then applauding competent but pedestrian mixes into album tracks (not a dis on Superpitcher, but its not like he was beat juggling with his elbows on three decks).

One of the people I was there with reckons the real problem at Volume is the cement floors. Difficult to dance on for extended periods and they suck your energy out.

― mmmmsalt (Graeme), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 19:13 (twenty-two years ago)

"or maybe it is something about Volume that makes people passive"

Totally agree - the club is alright but I think that the cement floors, bright white walls and the high ceilings just give it a real sterile atmosphere. I thought the overall vibe at APT last fall (Mayer/Voigt)was much better - just raw and kicking, people (especially near the end) seemed much more into it.

Still though, Saturday was an amazing night and NYC needs more like it - cheers to Volume and Other Music for hosting the boys from Kompakt.

― James Jung, Tuesday, 16 March 2004 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i've been to volume several times -- i love the space -- and i've never had a problem dancing for marathon amounts of time, sober or not. i think it depends where you are on the floor, and what crowd you're with. with my posse (a rotating cast of ILM-affiliated friends, buddies from back-in-the-day, etc) the vibe was pretty goddamn unstoppable. i was with people i really liked who were REALLY TOTALLY PSYCHED to be there, and that really made all the difference.

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 20:09 (twenty-two years ago)

and i'd MUCH rather attend an event at volume than at APT. i don't like APT at all, but i still go there because i'm a sap & they book good stuff (i'll be there on the 23rd for the first ghostly/spectral sessions event -- come with!)

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 20:16 (twenty-two years ago)

as far as cement walls and floors
let me tell you
it is THE BEST sound invironment.

you can read about it in any book on sound setup or HIFI stuff.
When you bang your fist on the wall and produce a sound-
thats the dominant "room" sound frequency so to speak.

cement always improves bass and also it is much better for other spectrum cause it will absorb echos,
an opposite to sheetrock or wood walls which will create secondary sound reflections of any kind.

i live in a apartment in a building made out of concrete blocks.
sound is amazing here

high ceilings in volume can be a problem but good sound engeneer can take care of it just by analyzing geometry and proportions of the space

my guess would be-
vibe is getting thiner because there no windows and because of the cigaret smoke

― serge, Tuesday, 16 March 2004 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

omg fun.
my legs are sore from doing the plastikman "ping-pong" squat-dance... i left a little early.. around 3:50. anyone know what time it went on until?

-- phil-two (philtw...), March 14th, 2004.

Can you supply a video for this Phil? I need to learn this by Saturday night. Is it a 1-2-drop knees-up-bounce-bounce-up-down riddim? Thankjs New York, especially Paul and Strongo for the big lovin. Phil, follow-up required.

Maybe I was dancing in the wrong part of the room (or just the wrong room period), but the crowd, and its lack of responsiveness to Superpitcher's and Mayer's sets, was decidedly underwhelming...so much for Boston crowds having the biggest stick up their bums.

I'm still sad I didn't go to this, but considering I did get laid off three months later it's probably for the best.

the crowd, and its lack of responsiveness to Superpitcher's and Mayer's sets, was decidedly underwhelming.

my impression was lots of people wanting to dance, and some of them actually doing it. it was lots of fun, regardless.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 9 February 2007 00:19 (nineteen years ago)

Tons of people were dancing, at least during the late hour when Mayer did Mayer. I remember Superpitcher sounding really minimal and moody and pensive, and then Mayer coming on and spraying jelly all over the place. The area around the flatbed (!!!!!!!) didn't lack for kineticism in the slightest.

That was a really big night for New York. Interesting to think what it spun out. I know the Wolf + Lamb guys (who throw totally grrrrrreat parties big into minimal) said it convinced them and everybody they know to get after it.
