Just got Routes not Roots. Cross Town is so fucking marvelous. Is there an important distinction between the new release and the original 2006 version? There seems to be a new mix of Fuck the Down Low and Double Secret (Dub) instead of Double Secret. Is it worth tracking down the old one instead?

does the new double secret have a talk talk sample on it? if not then you should def get the earlier version.

No. it doesn't....hm. ok.

saw him dj at love fever on 2nd of april. he was really really good. hardly anyone there had heard of him though, which was a bit strange tbh. was hoping to meet some homo house thugs.

ah how was that? - I went to Sud instead - quite a few people there seemed to have been at sprinkles beforehand
― colby, Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:15 (thirteen years ago) link
deep as you like! terre really got into it, was great to hear tracks from midtown on such a big system... would definitely go again. lost my phone at some point and one of the organisers called my friend the next day to say they'd found it :)

I really wanted to go to DJ Sprinkles thing a few weeks ago but had a load of tix for Schmulletover.. frustrating. He was good when playing records at RFH last year w/ Matmos and Moritz von Oswald etc...
Not sure of these are known about but;Here's a great mix (if someone can spot the track coming in at 49 mins, please!) - http://www.clubberia.com/music/podcasts/2-CB-002-DJ-Sprinkles-a-k-a-Terre-Thaemlitz/
Another I haven't heard yet - http://www.madelikeatree.com/Pages/grrl.html

mmmm; sounds a lot like one of his own.
by the way, for anyone who likes midtown, also check out Terre Thaemlitz presents... You? Again? if you haven't already.
― Ride, Thursday, 14 April 2011 16:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Love the parallax bros track in the clubberia mix - not sure what the 49 min one is - theres a moodymann amp fiddler track in there toward the end tho

> There seems to be a new mix of Fuck the Down Low and Double Secret (Dub) instead of Double Secret. Is it worth tracking down the old one instead?
the changes are not big. "fuck the down low (what's your secret mix)" literally only adds 30 seconds of a nice break within what otherwise sounds like the original, and "double secret (dub)" is just a bit more straight forward then the origina, which had a few more ambient breakdowns (but still always within dance range). but i guess the idea was just to make the old vinyl-only tracks on cd, and vice versa... more for hard fans.

Just reading about the Love Fever parties. I HAVE to go to these, they sound like they could fill a void.

yeah, really really enjoying it. That Gene Farris track ('Good Times') is particularly delicious.

Having acquired Terre's new remix comp and mix cd, I'll say both are through and through ace all around. But that's no surprise, of course.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but: Terre Thaemlitz is the best and most important producer of the last 10 years.
― ed.b, Saturday, 3 August 2013 14:51 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, you're definitely out on a limb...
― MikoMcha, Saturday, 3 August 2013 14:54 (ten years ago) link
careful!
― maven with rockabilly glasses (Matt P), Saturday, 3 August 2013 18:35 (ten years ago) link
i got no respect for philosophers + the music is mostly boring so no i wouldn't say terre is that important
― the late great, Saturday, 3 August 2013 20:22 (ten years ago) link
terre is very good at acting self important though
― the late great, Saturday, 3 August 2013 20:23 (ten years ago) link
i'm interested in philosophy and what terre has to say, but i don't think it's particularly "important." i'd be curious to hear why someone does think so, though.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 3 August 2013 20:55 (ten years ago) link
hard for me to accuse anyone of that (xp). i don't know about "importance" but i actually like the mix cd more than his productions, several of which i really like and am incredibly impressed by but i always feel like the sum is a little less than it should be given all of the stuff going on in his tracks, that there's something i'm looking for that isn't actually there. i sort of feel like he misses a basic benchmark of funkiness. in general. for me, personally. it isn't where he's at. there's an attitude, a softness, and a hallucinatory vision i hear in his tracks that i find really appealing but i just need more funkiness than that, it's what pleases my body, i'm too much of a sensualist to do without it.
― maven with rockabilly glasses (Matt P), Saturday, 3 August 2013 20:59 (ten years ago) link
i mean the bass is really fierce and trippy, but it doesn't have the kind of perpetual motion that's just there in, say, a theo parrish track. someone else you could accuse of being self-important if you wanted to.
― maven with rockabilly glasses (Matt P), Saturday, 3 August 2013 21:02 (ten years ago) link
theo is kinda insufferable in interviews esp w/r/t what constitutes real dj'ing
― the late great, Saturday, 3 August 2013 22:43 (ten years ago) link
A bona-fide genius. The real deal. He's a really smart dude and isn't shy about offering his (informed) opinions. I can see why that might be offputting to some, but it doesn't make his music any less sublime.

Perhaps because I was kind of veering towards the "challops" side of things, I don't think I actually meant anything by important (since I have no idea how "important" s/he is in the grand scheme of things), but good lord have I fallen hard for Terre's work in the last 5 years.
