redshape-the playground (deep space mix) (this one is actual techno, ghettoey hats and all)
zander vt-dig your own rave (amazing deep drones)
audion-i gave you away
justin maxwell-get off the bed

I like this stuff...I'd like some e-dancer style basslines to come back, that'd be cool.

haha all of these are in the latest mix I posted up at my blog...

coincidentally it's being repeated here till 3am GMT....sorry to hijack thread but it's a live stream at http://www.rnl106.com/audio.html if you do want to check those tracks....

carry on!

Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 17 February 2007 02:49 (seventeen years ago) link

i like most of this, but find 'India in Me' to be the most over-rated track of the past couple of months. Perhaps even more than FZ, which had it's detractors... everyone likes India in Me, it seems, except me.

vahid (vahid), Saturday, 17 February 2007 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

it's funny ronan, i feel like the b-sides to all the records you posted are better than the a-sides ...

redshape - "playground (original mix)" (amazing post-revelee synth madness)
zander vt - "then & before" (redshape remix) (endless percolations)

either that or clone record shop has the sides flipped!

i don't think all of it is boring, i just don't see what's so friggin new about some of it.


the table is the table (trees), Saturday, 17 February 2007 22:21 (seventeen years ago) link

there's nothing so new about it - a lot of it sounds like the very 1st irdial-disc tracks (insync's "storm" for example, is a dead-ringer for "india in me")

but hey! there hasn't been anything like irdial before or after until now, so why complain?

vahid (vahid), Saturday, 17 February 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

bodzin's "cucuma" fits here, sarah goldfarb "homodiskotekus" (at least during second half synth riff), maybe florent "g-net" and I still say much pom pom goes here

please don't try to tell me that Ø or TG would be better if their music was more "african".

Ø is PHI, right?

i don't know this bunko eurodisco stuff, maybe i should ask dan selzer about it.

OK so you don't like the new carl craig sound. but you're not going to tell me why, other than that it is "lame assed", "weak assed" and lacks the proper amount of "africa".

where then should i be pointing my beaky noise for TRUE DANCE GROOVES?

http://www.phinnweb.org/sahko/history.html

The Hyperdelic Housers were to spawn the first underground label of Finland, Sähkö Recordings, whose central place was to be in Helsinki. During 1993 Sähkö ('Electricity') already published five 12":s. Early 1994 saw the first Sähkö CD, Metri by Mika Vainio, recorded as Ø (pronounced "ohm"). Before this, Mika had already published in 1991 the first Finnish techno album Mindprobe by Corporate 09 which then consisted of Vainio and Pertti Grönholm.

Anything else I can do for you, son?

Burl Ervins (mjt), Saturday, 17 February 2007 23:39 (seventeen years ago) link

The ø is used in the fictional language Bork Bork Bork.

vahid (vahid), Saturday, 17 February 2007 23:41 (seventeen years ago) link

MINI LOUDSPEAKER - 0.5W / 8 ohm - Ø 50mm

^^ that means 8 ohms resistance through a wire with a diameter of 50 mm, different resistance measured with a thicker or thinner wire, right?

except mika vainio thought Ø was the same as ohm because he saw "ohm - Ø" all the time in his electronics manuals??

haitchwax (haitch), Sunday, 18 February 2007 11:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Isn't this just *cough* psychedelicketamine house with even less going on in the way of rhythmic interest/funk? or worse, prog-house with the openmindedness (for better or worse) replaced with strict purist references?

I dunno, I don't mind some of the records being mentioned here, I don't mind stuff that leans towards trance either frankly but I'm not getting moist about the idea of this sound dominating the '07

(translation: me trusting ILM less & less for dahnce/electronic tips, real world carrying on regardless/oblivious, siegbran posting once or twice with the prole/non-hipster overview on things, nothing changing except fashion.)

da mystery of sandboxin' (fandango), Sunday, 18 February 2007 16:56 (seventeen years ago) link

how is any of the stuff above less rhythmically interesting than "cosmic sandwich" or "doppelwhipper"?

moonship journey to baja (vahid), Sunday, 18 February 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

well, if those are thee touchstones of k-house (knew that'd get me into trouble) no, they're not. I guess I associate the druggier end of villalobos with that (dubious) term... or Perlon, if it was a bit more melted by descending/doomy trance melodies perhaps. I find Gabriel Ananda pretty bland frankly. In general though this stuff is all getting way less percussive and more synth-led isn't it? And it's all 'deeeeep' synths, that ache quality but go nowhere. It's reminding me of that zzz Tiefschwarz Fabric mix, maybe they were ahead of the curve!

da mystery of sandboxin' (fandango), Sunday, 18 February 2007 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I dunno, I won't start hating on Acid Eiffel but I'm buggered if I can be bothered digging/reading/thinking about a whole new wave of this stuff, I simply can't hear any creative potential in it.

da mystery of sandboxin' (fandango), Sunday, 18 February 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

as I'm not being useful here I'll leave it except to say in between ame/deeeep bobbins, "spacy bleep techno", neo-detroit and mnml-electrohouse I am all smoothed out and losing interest quick ;_;

da mystery of sandboxin' (fandango), Sunday, 18 February 2007 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

ahead of the curve = mathew jonson + carl craig

isn't "percussive" a dead end in and of itself? (see: soundmurderer + sk1, late autechre, etc)

also if you're losing interest in electronic dance across the board - not just you don't like this stuff, but you also don't have a pet scene that you are repping for - it's probably nt the music, it's probably YOU

moonship journey to baja (vahid), Sunday, 18 February 2007 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

this is absolutely right! but if it went somewhere, it would lose the ache quality and the deepness, right?

that's sort of like saying "well i love free jazz, i just wish it had more structure"

moonship journey to baja (vahid), Sunday, 18 February 2007 22:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know if things are getting less percussive though. How many people are making entire mixes of the simply synthy stuff?

A lot of mixes I hear are still very spectrum-covering - there's some spacey synth tunes, some allusions to bumping house, some deep disco, some prickly Anja Schneider/Sleeperthief stuff, some druggy house Fuckpony/Tuning Spork stuff, some insane tribal Guido Schneider style stuff... amidst all of this some spacey synth stuff sounds great and not particularly all-dominating/monomaniacal.

I mean, yeah, everyone loved Ame's "Rej" (the real "okay, this sound has arrived" moment), but everyone also loves the Villalobos remix of "The Sinner In Me", including Ame!

And really it's not like this is a new thing. These tunes are to 2007 as Superpitcher was to 2003/2004. People have been talking about "neo-trance" since 2002, and really it existed well before that - Hypercity is basically a Sasha & Digweed mix with more clicks and snaps.

There has always (well, throughout this decade) been a continuum of "smooth" trance/techno-ish stuff throughout this loose scene, just as there has been a continuum of screwy percussive stuff throughout the same period.

People get too focused on a slight sonic shift at one end or another and think it's the end/beginning of everything. Those sonic shifts are interesting and worth talking about (before mike t rushes in to colonise my argument) but not in such an all-or-nothing manner.

ahead of the curve = mathew jonson + carl craig touche =)

isn't "percussive" a dead end in and of itself? (see: soundmurderer + sk1, late autechre, etc) hmmm, I'm not sure I'm coming at this from an entirely "idm-microhouse don't die yet!" angle...

if it went somewhere, it would lose the ache quality and the deepness, right? it would?? isn't this just a lame & easy shortcut? isn't like tons of detroit techno achy/deep AND busy/banging?

I'm sure it is a lot of me w/r/t losing interest. I'll definitely still shill for Mobilee, Random Dubstep tunes, other bits & bobs... oddly enough there isn't really one! new! scene that's completely flicking my bean right now, but dilettante dabbling still turns up enough to keep me interested... I'll likely stumble on new mix/label/tune that refreshes my perspective on it all again tomorrow, it's usually the way!

I'm trying not to focus on this slight sonic shift really, or ascribe too wide a meaning to it. I'm simply a little frustrated that across the continuum so much of it seems to be chasing towards the same goal now (and yes, it's a little boring to me, maybe only in isolation but still). I need to find more of the stuff that isn't living in this niche (like The Field album! which I haven't heard yet tho' people complaining about it's "Ableton-ness" makes suspect I'll enjoy it, if that = ragged & underproduced).

da mystery of sandboxin' (fandango), Monday, 19 February 2007 01:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I was thinking of making a "Now That's What I Call Percussive Minimal" comp before my computer died (again!). It had stuff like the Loco Dice remix of Daniel Taylor's "MORD" and Guido Schneider's "Channel One" and Sleeperthief's "Full Of You" on it. Basically a lot like the Andre Galluzzi Berghain 01 mix but maybe a bit housier/moister overall. I still totally dig that style.

da mystery of sandboxin' (fandango), Monday, 19 February 2007 01:28 (seventeen years ago) link

for me the #1 statement of percussive minimal is locodice+villalobos "green + blue" mix comp on cocoon ... but you can kind of hear the move towards synthier stuff towards the end of villalobos disc where he gets into the swinging acid sound with that woody / dr motte / mystic bill sequence

i am actually kind of predicting yet ANOTHER acid house 303 revival this year, if stuff like "india in me" is any indication ...

This is OTM, especially re the whole "deep house/minimal" thing but I have been thinking about this the last few days and I genuinely think this psychedelic house/techno could be quite a big deal and a good antithesis (ie not that dissimilar) to minimal...which probably needs to happen.

this one is nice too. the a-side is probably the most psychedelic bleepy neo-trance this side of that radio slave remix of jamie anderson. a bunch of these tunes are like "mouth to mouth" it's true. couldn't imagine them all together, but they are very effective when used alongside other stuff.

i haven't heard that first one you mention, but that Aril Brikha single is okay at best...compared to a lot of his other (especially older) stuff. (Though about that single: Bergain is really quite nice. Winter is just...not...that...interesting. Berghain would be even sweeter with some quality alto female vocal samples over it). (Reminder to self).

In terms of the regular discussion: India in Me just isn't that good, though it doesn't sound like what v says it does. I've said it before in other threads-- the love for this track baffles me over and over again. And I like some other Cobblestone Jazz.

On a similar note, Mouth to Mouth = If I wanted a bad handjob, I could get it from a cheap hooker.

the table is the table (trees), Monday, 19 February 2007 03:55 (seventeen years ago) link

heh.

"berghain" is great! i think i like it so much because of the way it rubs against everything else coming out right now.

i think what's also interesting is when this stuff strays from 4/4 territory and gets steppy like "space break" or the last few monolake releases (polygon_cities and the "plumbicon" single). the live in osaka "plumbicon" version fits pretty well with the general vibe of this thread.

i'm surprised no one has mentioned sleeparchive yet. or soundstream. "love jam" is a jam.

the table is the table (trees), Monday, 19 February 2007 04:07 (seventeen years ago) link

one thing i've noticed about these tracks is that a lot of them lack claps or snares or use them very sparingly. it's like someone decided to clean the cluttered minimal plate and reduce by elongation and rhythmic disorientation with lots of bubbly mids and lows.

(sorry i am posting so much and so confusingly to this thread. i was at a bruce nauman exhibition all afternoon today and it did my head in.)

When you get to the Eurodisco section and reference it with the earlier section regarding disco's roots in R&B you will understand what I am getting it. It is appropriate.

thinly disguised pants?

"this crotch is coded for those who know"

"mouth to mouth" seems an odd one out here, it's a lot more aggressive & distinctive (a good thing).

boomkat's review of new Aril Brikha,
Hardcore Transmat geeks of course might be up in arms about this twelve, but the partial salvation comes on the neatly turned out shapethrowing panorama bar tribute "Berghain". Opt for this side if in a tight corner, simply grin and bear the gloss and sheen of its all gone pete tong directed ibizan headache that is "Winter". Massive of course, but what a pity - one is left mulling what might have been, be certain Groove La Chord this is not.

:O :D

they're kind of right, it is an incredibly commercial sounding tune, but it (Winter) is also a total earworm. I like it a lot.

so much handwringing over that tune...what is so fucking wrong with trance

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:45 (seventeen years ago) link

it has stinky neighbours

I've read Shapiro's book, Burl. And it is VERY BIASED AGAINST any and all EuroDisco. He treats Moroder like some sort of techno-fascist geek, and totally downplays the importance of 'I Feel Love' and other such tracks, dismissing them as soulless and empty without really backing that assertion up with anything other than, "Those fucking trashy Europeans and their syntehsizers, why aren't they more black?" The sections of that book on european disco are the most thoroughly disappointing.

Thus, your point is still fucking stupid, imo.

Subtractive Synthesis (Subtractive Synthesis), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't really see Shapiro being too biased about Eurodisco. He described how funk/soul fans and musicians needed an easy scapegoat in the disco era, and eurodisco fit the bill. He describes all the reasons people hated Eurodisco, but that eurodisco was a step forward in making music that was more robotic/cyborg oriented than anything earlier.

Also he is really down on I Feel Love? In the book he calls it the perfect soul record, as powerful and complex as anything by Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, and Al Green! His point is that it encapsulats the then-fascination with detachement/submission/anonymous sex/unreality/non-human so well, and does it all with this eerie etheral sexuality that was very alien at the time. I don't know what you are looking for him to say?

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Poor derailed thread ...

I think the thing with Peter Shapiro's book is that he describes things in what for others would be pejorative terms, but which in his own aesthetic are actually positive. This struck me most in the stuff on Hi-NRG. It makes it a weird read. I've posted this before, but here's him on the radio giving us the roots of Eurodisco. It's great. http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/12195

Anyway, carry on ...

Jamie Smith (Jamie T Smith), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't really see Shapiro being too biased about Eurodisco.

He wasn't and he made a distinction between the stuff that was good, Moroder and Cerrone for example, vs schlock like Frank Farian produced stuff like Boney M. Frank Farian also had hits in the late 80's with this band:

I will give him credit for this tho. This is completely bonkers:

ouch that "jupiter jazz" comment burl. that song changed my life no lie.

http://ilx.wh3rd.net/ilxdown/6.jpg

the nauman show made matthew barney finally click for me if that's saying anything vahid. a crucial show if you want to know what else was going on in the usa in the late 60s aside from pop or are interested in post-minimalist process type art (crucial for understanding the ableton set? only time will tell). well curated, very nice space in that museum. i will go back.

josh (josh.), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 05:41 (seventeen years ago) link

actually nauman kind of brings together beuys and rauschenberg which is really saying something.

josh (josh.), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 06:01 (seventeen years ago) link

that Craig Faze Action remix is amazing...just heard it last night...(at home)

Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

agreed on that ronan.

also, i just re-read the eurodisco chapters, and while he isn't totally biased against eurodisco, it's pretty hard to say that he is really into 'I Feel Love' (while saying it's a great soul record, he also calls it "sexless" and "campy," which are...well, negative). additionally, he sums the section up by saying that much eurodisco "rings rather hollow." which shows some *gasp* bias.

that said, after flipping through again, shapiro does frame things in rather pejorative terms, so my previous reading was a bit distorted.

let's stop talking about disco

moonship journey to baja (vahid), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 23:04 (seventeen years ago) link

if we can all agree w/ mike that this music is as un-disco and un-african as it gets, can we at least agree not to judge it in terms of 30 year-old music?

moonship journey to baja (vahid), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 23:05 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm not judging it in such a way, v. that was bur1, peter shapiro's lackey.

the table is the table (trees), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 23:13 (seventeen years ago) link

one last: spacy very italo house by Equip, track available on Jazz Funk Greats. really awesome earworm of a thing, that track.

the table is the table (trees), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 00:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Trees, I'm not going to prolong the argument, but sexless and hollow are some of the best qualities of eurodisco for me!

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 03:05 (seventeen years ago) link

it's like david bowie

friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 03:43 (seventeen years ago) link

you just prolonged it, and so i will do the same: i don't find eurodisco sexless OR hollow, at least not in the way that Shapiro means. so let's let bygones be bygones on this one.

that and david bowie is only sometimes sexless and hollow, lfam.

is trance bullshit ?

im sure,i lke good trancy music
because is the music good than it makes no difference,if trance or not trance!
TRANCE Music can be really good if the compostion makes sense!.
All these bombasstic synthsizer have so much power when its really on fire !
But if its only for a progress with no sense than it can be so a "stoopidboring bullshit."
I really fucked up often when im in a club and djs playing only halfbeat basslines,you know what i mean
its like
humpa humpa humpa.humpa umpa umpa umpa umpa dede dede dededed
it can be really a funny thing,,when ark or others do it like this(sense of humor!)
But if its pathetic than it can be so horrorble&make people tired.
We still live in a world of druguser,and you never will listen to those kind of tracks when you at home!
If you`re on drugs your body&mindsytem is complete on a different level.
so is the music good you don`t need drugs to be on differnt level or higher level.
Is the music really good and you are on "Draks ! So you will you can fly in
"Space whatever,wherever............................its amazing how the music than feels.!
