I thought it was pretty dry as well and got tired of it fairly quickly. Funny he ends it with that Kerry Chandler track - it's such a partystarter.

I'm surprised! This stuff sounds very wet and fluid to me.

Tim F, Friday, 25 May 2007 08:13 (sixteen years ago) link

I didn't mean the mix, I meant the My My track specifically, which I don't think is crap or anything (played it last night to see, very early on), just found it weird Tim thought it was so good.

i'm not really sure what ronan likes these days ... it's been a while since 've seen him write anything positive on ILM!

that's not quite true, but I praise lots of stuff on the minimal threads. I do save a bit of praise for my blog so I have stuff to write about but I am pretty sure I have praised lots of stuff recently.

anyway things are pretty bad mostly so maybe my criticism is more jaded than usual!

Ronan, Friday, 25 May 2007 12:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Things = life or things = music?

If the latter, what developments have annoyed you Ronan?

Ronan does my description match the My My remix, it's sort of this glass cathedral of synth chords around a restless Tuning Spork-ish beat.

Actually what I like about the first forty minutes or so of this mix is that it's like a more melodic version of a Jay Haze mix.

Tim F, Friday, 25 May 2007 13:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, life! Music is the one escape!

The last month in particular has been really good. I played for 3 hours last night and it was mostly stuff from the last couple of weeks eg the new Misstress Barbara is absolutely brilliant, Kiki's new Bpitch Control is the best thing he's ever done IMO, those Ink and Needle records, Feuervogel, Redshape's "Steam", Audion's "Noiser" obviously, the new Plasmik on Connaisseur.

As for that My My remix, it's very very "disco" to me, really kind of stomping and funky. I thought it was pretty cool but strayed a bit too close to Spirit Catcher or that sort of electronic disco house vibe for me.

Ronan, Friday, 25 May 2007 14:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Stomping and funky is good of course, it's a good track just not exactly like what my favourite stuff is at the moment.

Ronan, Friday, 25 May 2007 15:00 (sixteen years ago) link

sebo K ... yessssssssssss

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 05:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Downloading now. Also: Sebo K is hot.

Tim F, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 05:53 (sixteen years ago) link

this has Josh One-Contemplation (King Britt Funk Mix) on it! haha whoa...was thinking that track was due a comeback.

Ronan, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 09:45 (sixteen years ago) link

this is good :)

I really like the third track, heard it on another set recently.

Ronan, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 10:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Woah... deep...

Esp. this section:

10. Kevin Gorman – Black & White (Alex Under Remix)
11. Dennis Ferrer - Transitions
12. Matthias Tanzmann - Nip Slip
13. Marco Resmann - Gouache

I like how Tanzmann and Resmann (both Moon Harbour/Mobilee folx) have both gone all detroit synth pattern whore, and sebo k plays them together just to make the point. It's like he's calling them out, but in a good way. It was sort of his idea in the beginning anyways.

Tim F, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 14:21 (sixteen years ago) link

This mix is pretty the Bible for deep/minimal.

Ronan, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 14:23 (sixteen years ago) link

pretty much I mean

Ronan, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 14:23 (sixteen years ago) link

lots of "wtf this suxx why he get paid to dj ever" on the RA messageboard about it, but the riton one is fun. yes, the orgasmic woman bit is a bit of a groaner, but the rest is a trip. it passed the walking-around-the-woods-in-the-early-morn-whilst-stoned test while camping recently and passed with flying colors. i'd love to know what some of the krautrocky stuff is on there. only tunes i really recognize are vangelis and telex.

anyone else heard? i'll post a link if anyone cares to have a listen.

The Amé one is yoga flame for all time and is making me wish they were playing off-Sónar rather than at the shitty thing that I'm not going to :'-(

riton RA

andrew m., Tuesday, 5 June 2007 20:18 (sixteen years ago) link

jim, it's only Frank that's playing the main sonar. The RA mix is Kristian. He refused to play at Sonar because they were getting paid peanuts, even though they're getting 20,000 people through the door. fair enough too.

good dog, Tuesday, 5 June 2007 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link

The new Stefan Goldmann track, "Aurora", on the Stefan Goldmann mix, is so great - really shimmery. I love his sound, it's like if deep house took all its cues from Isolee and Joakim and James Holden. And it's so distinct and immediately recognisable too! Or is that just because this track is like the perfect midpoint between "Sleepy Hollow" and his remix of "Women In Toilet"?? Could he become the classy housey Bodzin?

Tim F, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 14:27 (sixteen years ago) link

The Amé is whoa

deej, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 21:06 (sixteen years ago) link

can someone up the ame mix plz? it doesn't seem to be on that site anymore

creme1, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link

i think there are way too many mindless minimal bobbins mixes in this series, though.

is there anything even worth listening to twice out of the first 20? it didn't really get good until around #40 (except for maurice #21) and even then, it's been around 50/50 so far. not quite as good as fabric, in my estimation.

oh well, it's free.

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link

whats the song 47-48 mins into the Ame

the table is the table, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 06:33 (sixteen years ago) link

i mean fuckin christ, it's like one of the best bridges between new deep house and new techno i've heard yet, in a mix.

the table is the table, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 06:35 (sixteen years ago) link

I left my ipod in Spain, but 50 euros later (!) it arrived in the post yesterday and I now have 6 of these to listen to. Where to start?

The last one I heard was the Riton one, which I really liked too, (apart from the spoken word bit about musique concrete, which struck me as pretentious in a really bad way - he's not really in that league!)

Anyone got a tracklist for the first half of that?

Jamie T Smith, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 11:14 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah i'd love a tracklist of that one, too. I recognize some (La Düsseldorf, Telex, Eno & Byrne) but most I don't. I'd really like to know that first track's ID - a brilliant motorik-driven glam song.

willem, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 12:07 (sixteen years ago) link

the first track's gotta be neu! or harmonia, right? i don't have those at hand to ID the track but it sounds an awful lot like "fur immer" period neu!

moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 14:25 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't think so, I'd definately recognize Neu! And I don't think it's Harmonia either, not unless they released more than the two albums I know... Like I said, this track has a touch of glamrock (Roxy meets Neu! in a way) that I've never heard from them (though it could be argued that Dinger injected a bit of it on Viva).

willem, Thursday, 14 June 2007 09:02 (sixteen years ago) link

is there anything even worth listening to twice out of the first 20?

ive listened to #2 (pig & dan) and #10 (serge santiago) a bunch of times!

, Thursday, 14 June 2007 11:23 (sixteen years ago) link

my fave is probably #43 but then im a bit of a bodzin fanboy ^_^

, Thursday, 14 June 2007 11:25 (sixteen years ago) link

Kiki's was #5 I think. Definately liked it a lot.

willem, Thursday, 14 June 2007 11:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Efdemin's mix is ace!

The Macallan 18 Year, Friday, 15 June 2007 16:45 (sixteen years ago) link

The Troy & Pierce one was actually the best minus-y thing I'd heard, but I haven't listened it to a while so I'd have to go back and check.

Tim F, Friday, 15 June 2007 22:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Efdemin was really great, over an hour and 45 minutes of it too :)

All podcasts are available atthis site and by the fact that theres #58 (accredited to Guy Gerber by the way) up before Resident Advisor makes it pretty consistent, hmmn.

mehlt, Monday, 18 June 2007 06:56 (sixteen years ago) link

one month passes...

This Joris Voorn mix is stupendous with its swirling emo summer love. And weird ambient breakdowns! So cool!

lukas, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 06:26 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah I was about to revive this thread to say the same thing! It's totally my dream mix of spooky deep house non-stop!

Tim F, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 08:54 (sixteen years ago) link

i thought maurice fulton's mix from last year was bleeding amazing but because it wasn't techy it got unfairly ignored

sam500, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 10:23 (sixteen years ago) link

couldnt get into voorn excpet for the ambient bits. pwog ftw!

the ben klock mix, on the other hand, is killing me. probably too chugging and monochrome (not -tone) for most people though.

, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 10:48 (sixteen years ago) link

the ben klock mix is incredible, maybe even the best of 07

creme1, Friday, 27 July 2007 15:27 (sixteen years ago) link

(best resident advisor mix i mean)

creme1, Friday, 27 July 2007 15:28 (sixteen years ago) link

the carl craig siobhán donaghy track as the third tune or whatever really bugged me about the ben klock. but that's a kneejerk complaint I know.

Ronan, Friday, 27 July 2007 19:27 (sixteen years ago) link

The fact that he looks just like the techno version Henry Rollins bothers me; And while I'm getting eager to listen to it, an am a Klock fan, I've become skeptical as to how much I can actually enjoy it. Because of that, and the rather intimidating description RA wrote that makes it sound like the mix is full of harsh, aggressive, banging techno (which only makes him seem more like Henry Rollins)- although the bits I've skimmed through make it seem more easy going, and uhhh pretty good.

mehlt, Saturday, 28 July 2007 00:14 (sixteen years ago) link

it's not harsh - it's more loopy and repetitive I think. if you're a fan of that downstairs Berghain style it will suit.

good dog, Saturday, 28 July 2007 01:34 (sixteen years ago) link

this week's samim mix is fantastic!

haitch, Friday, 3 August 2007 00:05 (sixteen years ago) link
