Strictly 4 My Underground Homo Deep House Thugs: DJ Sprinkles - Midtown 120 Blues

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.

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.

re: clubberia podcast
> Here's a great mix (if someone can spot the track coming in at 49 mins, please!)

i love that record, too! b-side to manoo & francois a's "traffic ep"!!!

Thank you Beavis!

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

So does anyone else have Soulnessless yet?

There's a new album? Sweet. My boyfriend was gonna see them play in Brooklyn last week but it sold out.

midtown 120 <3

yes it is. thx

Very.

love him/her

wow

classic thaemlitz. love the lady gaga take down, lol.

Has anyone heard the new mix album? I d/l'd a vinyl rip while I'm waiting for the CD to arrive, it's sounding niiiiiice

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

Loving this mix, and also this track.

That Gene Farris track ('Good Times') is particularly delicious is exactly what I came to say.

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.

really into the ducktails remix

Queerifications & Ruins is insanely good. Loving this.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but: Terre Thaemlitz is the best and most important producer of the last 10 years.

Yeah, you're definitely out on a limb...

careful!

i got no respect for philosophers + the music is mostly boring so no i wouldn't say terre is that important

terre is very good at acting self important though

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.

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.

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.

theo is kinda insufferable in interviews esp w/r/t what constitutes real dj'ing

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.

wowowowow that remix comp is pretty special huh

Yup, I'm more psyched about it than the mix personally. There are cool things about 'Where Dancefloors Stand Still,' but I feel it works more in the mode of anonymity Tim IDs upthread.

Posted in the Bobbins thread, but if ya missed it here's my interview with Terre:
http://crackmagazine.net/music/dj-sprinkles/

dudes, for real, do you know this one? with the dialogue in the middle? is something else.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoO0X0oXyLA

also stuff like this what the hell. ambient remix. i dig it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGUZ4kkGdwM

i heard terre is on this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nls3MXiBdXM

oh actually it turns out it's a remix of this

http://www.discogs.com/DJ-Sprinkles-Mark-Fell-Complete-Spiral-EP/release/3611534

xxxpost yeah the Oh Yoko remix is excellent.

love complete spiral ( tho the remix of adultnapper is my fav sprinkles)

sprinkles' remixes, for example the stunning june - lost area (sprinkles' lost dancefloor), often remind me of holy ghost, inc. (most obviously their "a walk on air") - very atmospheric, with unsettling vocal fragments and active tribal percussion including the occasional breakbeat.

the remix comp is absolutely wonderful; the music is so beautifully detailed.

This thread has one of the best titles.

This record is SO expensive! I really want a copy but I am not rich/crazy.

It's being reissued soon so hopefully you can pick it up.

Here's a great interview with Terre by Lex
