Although I'd forgotten how much Derrick May's EQ fiddling can be a bit annoying - he's less offputting than the last time I saw him play though.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 22 December 2009 23:10 (fourteen years ago) link
The last track is the bomb.

Commendation to anyone who submits a mix to RA. Those comment pages can turn nasty very quickly.

Indeed.
Me gusta!

I don't think that May / FK mix was that good, even thought I usually am really into both those guys' mixes, but the people in the comments saying 'it's way too fast' are tripping me out. It's really not that long ago that mixes like this were what most techno dj's played like and aspired to. You'd think they'd (the commenters, that is) understand the context of it.

Marcus Worgull one is sounding WAY proggy. And I mean as in prog-rock.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Saturday, 16 January 2010 17:42 (fourteen years ago) link
LOVE the Marcus Worgull mix, have listened to nothing else all week. The initial psychedelic/balearic vibe doesn't last but what follows is just as good. Azari and III's 'Reckless with your love' was new to me -- best thing I've heard since 'Happy House'.
Favorite parts of Tensnake were the first 10 minutes ('Lovesick', Tiger & Woods) and the big NYE-in-NYC ending (from 'Coma Cat' on).
DJ Stingray this week, technoheads rejoice.
― Cricket riding a tumbleweed (Plasmon), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 06:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Yup, Stingray is good. Mixing is nothing special but track selection spot on.
― sam500, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 07:10 (fourteen years ago) link
Finally getting to the Marcus Worgull mix myself and absolutely loving it!

nice to see gas 'pop' in the top 10 also agree with villalobos ftw. think vocalcity could have been higher. thoughts etc?

Vocalcity should be Number 1

xpost: great album. Also, why does Isolee "We Are Monster" get more love than his "Rest" album?
― De que estas hablando? (Tannenbaum Schmidt), Tuesday, 26 January 2010 16:33 (fourteen years ago) link
Because far less people have heard rest?
― EDB, Tuesday, 26 January 2010 16:48 (fourteen years ago) link
Even I haven't heard the (full) album, and I put Isolee in my techno/house POV of the decade.
― EDB, Tuesday, 26 January 2010 16:49 (fourteen years ago) link
"we are monster" is a better record!

It's ok but I can't help thinking that a lot of these once great Detroit DJ's have disappeared down this bland tech-house cul-de-sac. Stacey Pullen's recent LWE podcast was incredibly dull for example.
Is this what happens to DJ's who play out, week in week out?
― sam500, Monday, 29 March 2010 07:05 (fourteen years ago) link
Dance music is prone to hyperbole, but you'd be hard-pressed to come up with anything but words like "legend," "titan" and "giant" when describing Carl Craig's impact on the electronic scene. Producer, remixer, label boss, DJ, the list goes on and on.
feel like this entire paragraph should be inside inverted commas inside this paragraph.

carl craig has become pretty formulaic in his remixes these days, but there still pretty damned good imho. i really like his recent rmx of hot chip.
still haven't had a chance to listen to the podcast, but the DJ sets i've heard from carl craig have been very good, if not great.

Just got around to listening to the Magda one - daaaaamn it's great, and very unexpected (granted I haven't kept up w/ her for the last few years). RA's running as good a hit/miss ratio now as anytime in the past, if not better.
― I DIED, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 00:03 (thirteen years ago) link
I posted about this here
What is Magda like?
Though I get the feeling if you like this mix. you probably don't like what she normally plays and if you like what she normally plays, you don't like this mix.
any recommendations for other post punk/ micro mixes??
anyone??
