commendation for outstanding service to human race: resident advisor

RA Charts: Classic or Dud? I think a lot of the tracks there are not too interesting and have short life time.

I view them as a last resort. In theory a great way for DJ's to get new names out there, in reality a lot of lip service, self promotion, and fetishization of contemporariness. My advice is just don't even bother to try and digest all these things, it's about conquest most of the time anyways.

On that note, I think it would be a raucous fun to make DJ's select mixes from 6-7 years ago ala Brinkmann (When he played here it was one of the best nights out in my entire life), just to see how that would play out.

Uh oh, I thought I had these set to auto-download but I might not have. I have probably 110 of them archived, if anyone's looking for a particular one, let me know and I'll check.

Would really love to hear the Brinkmann one as well, if it's nae bother

joakim just did a FACT mix too. (xxp)

ITunes somehow managed to eat all my old Podcasts. I was bummed about the losing Dixon one, but at least his Body Language cd was pretty similar. The Twitch, Aeroplane and Motorcitysoul ones I will be trying to hunt down again.

i've been wanting to get ahold of the quiet village one actually- did you save that one per chance?

quiet village

I can upload the Cassy or M. Fulton RA's if anyone fancies - both good.

thanx again moonship.

oooh maurice fulton would be awesome- planning on catching him at the paradise lounge on friday.

if any of you want anything leonardo-ed let me know, i feel like i'm taking a whole lot and maybe not giving as much in return

if you like RA mixes, check this: http://sound.modelfruit.com/

fulton would be good!

2 Maurice's for ya, both very nifty.

RA: http://www.sendspace.com/file/1s2snq

Mix Show: http://www.sendspace.com/file/00xm44

The latter was a Japan only release I picked up last year. Plus I can't get enough of that Randy Crawford tune in the RA mix (followed by the spacey mid-tempo house tune after it). I need to be signed up to his podcast.

hell yes this is wonderful

like what i've heard so far of the quiet village mix, tho i thought they'd be mixing a little more

quiet village one is really really good....it's my cooking mix

Celestine Okwu - Okwukwe Na Nchekwube - Soundway

LOVE this 'nigeria special' track from the qv mix, think i also used it in a mix of some type last year

what about the prins thomas and aeroplane mixes? are they good?

Yes

Also, unlike the people upthread, I loved the Orb one - really beautiful, if not unexpected, mix. Partial tracklist lifted from RA site below:

15:50 - 18:00: The Orb - Snow Bow
18:00 - 27:45: Gas - Gas 2
33:00 - 39:00: Justus Köhncke & Fred Heimermann - Albatros
43:00 - ?: Ulf Lohmann - Nicht Die Welt

FACT's Ben klock mix a bit so so by his standard, his bodytonic one from last year is much better

does anyone have the steffi mix? i seem to have lost it. that one was a classic

I have, but got to go. Will upload tomorrow if no-one else has.

they really need to make these actual Podcasts like RA though, and not this half-assed cheapskate YSI bullshit.

since Ronan's too shy, here's what he's talking about, a dope new Roman Flugel mix on his blog:

http://ronanfitzgerald.net/houseisafeeling/2009/03/04/hiaf-guest-mix-12-roman-flugel/

shit! that looks really good!

except for the krömer glasses.

"I tried to mix my first records around ´87 .."

looks like he should have been doing his homework in 87, that, or i need to use more moisturiser to smooth out my stress creases.

no I actually meant more that the whole podcast/mix thing is sort of ubiquitous. obv it's great but it no longer says much about the source. I feel this way about dance crit in general of late tho. thanks for the link all the same.

thanks!

I think the Brinkmann is great - especially after repeated listens. But I could really do without the voice-over on the Jay Denham track.

would really like to hear the prins thomas one also, if possible. i've been loving his mystery mix to pieces as of late

think this link still works - http://depositfiles.com/en/files/2066740

Sigh, just when I think I'm at the edge of being able to manage RA podcasts I need to listen to they go ahead and pull something like this.

DJ KOZE

KOZE PEOPLE OH JESUS

ok so maybe i'm a little overexcited but I've been waiting for Koze to do a mix for them for ages

pretty good.

The Koze mix is as good as I'd hoped. NSI track is lovely.

Also enjoying the Pendle Coven offering over at FACT very much - especially when it turns a bit feisty at the end (sorry- not trying to turn this into the unofficial FACT mag thread but they have been mining a similar furrow of late, mix wise).

We need a totally unconstructive and pointless Resident Advisor vs FACT poll really.

playing halo 3 on xbox would win that poll

Maybe a 'winner takes all' poll of all the big mix podcasts is needed

the Culoe de Song is awesome, i think. but the rest of yall seem pretty boo on african house shit, so whatever.

resident advisor >>>> FACT mixes

the classic mix site was d-i-r-t-y.net, that site was so f'ing dope and way ahead of its time.

here's the new website: http://www.d-i-r-t-y.com/

but i can't find the "mixes archive" anywhere

They occasionally post a mix on their mp3 blog, http://www.alainfinkielkrautrock.com/. I've got a folder of 20 or so DIRTY mixes saved over the last few years, I can hook you up with them if you're interested.
