y'all have a good un

Never once have I thought
If only my laptop was 70% thinner, that is exactly what is stopping me acheiving my goals
huge waste of money imo

i think thedave has made the key point here...

It's all about the Asus EEE PC 

 

eheh, nice booking.. lump is cool. looking forward to it.

this is dope!!

paul, what is the track from 40 - 44 minutes?? kinda arpeggiated uplifting 90's techno ?

tracky listy???

not that i can find... although it starts off on a detroit techno vibe (redshape maybe?) as the mix progresses tracks by pinch and punch drunk label appear - if anyone can id some of the tracks that would be cool.   

some amazing new bits in that mix!  thanks for the link!  i got most of it, a few gaps though...

Shed - Citylicker
? - ?
T++ - Allied
Distance - Feel Me
Pinch - Lazarus
Appleblim & Peverelist - Circling
Monkeysteak - Lighthouse Dub (Pinch Remix)
2562 - Moog Dub
2562 - ? (assuming from the production)
2562 - ? (ditto)
2562 - Kameleon
? - ? (would guess 2562 but it sounds well different to his usual production)
Horsepower Productions - Log On (Dub)
Shed - Masque (A Made Up Remix)
Martyn - Suburbia
2562 - Channel Two

some sick bits in that first half too

good  ing there elgato....

29th February 

  normalise !

(And also does something very weird to my Firefox...)

Isn't that the point though ?
Thought it was quite clever actually.

yep. very clever... certainly the way the JS syncs pretty accurately to the video..

I heard 'night' on jo whiley's show on radio one yesterday morning in the shower! Was amazing!!

Roll on the Dubstep takeover!!

apparently Night is getting a big commercial release with a vocal and everything.. because of "funky"

FUCK YEAH!!
Been waiting for this for ages, got their MixUp album in the post office awaiting collection as we speak, it is fucking fat, woo hoo

My CD of it still hasnt arrived (was meant to be a xmas present!)...

All about the Higher State Of Consciousness bootleg!

...and the inner city bootleg. sacrilege has seldom sounded so good!

 

wicked booking!

we've got a 2562 radio mix - will put up here soon. 

no d/l link i'm afraid though...

you can stream the show from viral radio / lijn5 here: http://www.lijn5.com/page/shows/138/Viral%20Radio/162225/2562

2562 mix starts +1hr10mins into the show...

TIP!!! etc etc

hra! i dont know what the hell sort of mc escher 3D dystopia you created for the flyer matt but I loves it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dystopia is what i aim for...

i used this to make it: http://www.contextfreeart.org/ : a design grammar for making lines and boxes and that kind of stuff. no "trace vector from bitmap" vibes in this one, my new years resolution is to curb my vector trace addiction.

what time would 2562 be playing?

Not 100% certains yet but probably start between 12 and 1am and he'll play for 2 hrs.. will put set times up later..

For those of you who might know the 2562 stuff but are not familiar with AMUS, here's the linkage::

cheers.. i'm doing the same (re; subloaded) and so is dave... 

[A Made Up Sound vs. 2562]

greetings freaxxx

this is a message about the next under_score:

essential infos:

A Made Up Sound vs. 2562
( Subsolo / Philpot / Tectonic )

+ under_score djs:
Jim Petherwick
Luke Malcher
Placid

Saturday 2nd February 2008 / 10pm - 4am / £4
@ The Tube


writing:

under_score are proud to present Dave Huismans aka A Made Up Sound aka 2562. Hailing from the Dutch electronic heartland of Den Haag, Dave's debut releases have taken both the dubstep and techno worlds by storm. He is currently creating some of the most exciting and convincing fusions of the two sounds heard to date, and his music has won acclaim from top djs in both scenes.

Huismans will showcase both his recording aliases; A Made Up Sound for Subsolo records in Berlin (an offshoot of Shed's Soloaction label) and 2562 for Pinch's Bristol based Tectonic, in a special 2 hour set which will move from deep techno to dubstep.

His futuristic and energetic sound fuses raw Maurizio style dub techno, the percussive, skipping drum programming of 2-step, lush Detroit synths and of course the deepest and heaviest submerged bass to shake your bones.

Those who witnessed 2562 at the massive Subloaded dance in October will know first hand his prowess at moving the dancefloor and if you missed it, here is your second chance.

In support we have a selection of Bristol's finest techno djs; Jim Petherwick, Luke Malcher, Placid ( under_score ) playing the hottest electronic sounds around.  including maxibeat.

mix up some coarsely ground kalonji, star anise and cumin and corainder with olive oil, add some salt and maybe a bit of sugar, then spread it all over the salmon and grill it. makes a nice spicy crust. serve it with  greens and rice

I'll give em another go, does anyone know the Underscore line up over the next couple of months?

yep, i know it

2nd feb - A Made Up Sound aka 2562 (i'll do a proper post / flyer on here soon...)
1st march - Marcel Dettmann

wots this shit? maxibeat? whats that then? fucking hippies.

maxibeat is specifically made in a garage and not in a studio

Yes very cool indeed!!!  But could I incorperate it into logic if I wanted to?

not really...

but you could download rebirth (for free now i think) and use it as a VST (i think)

http://www.rebirthmuseum.com/

By the looks of that website you can only d/load the rebirth 'refill' for reason. If you buy or d/load rebirth you can 'rewire' into logic though.
Think rebirth was the first bit of music software I ever used, used to bloody love it 

I think you can download the CD image for the full software too, its a bit hidden though.

yep, rebirth was bad. rebirth / fasttracker 2, happy days.

Yes very cool indeed!!!  But could I incorperate it into logic if I wanted to?

Is this a plugin?

it's v. like the 2nd version of rebirth 338 btw

Is this a plugin?

flash init...

pretty impressive really.... didn't know flash could do mushc soundwise, other than playing back samples (or maybe it's just lots of buffered samples)

909 BD, SD and CLAP on the ones, CH on the off beat = the one true drum pattern

never mind all this venue chitchat, mr oizo is an excessively big booking. 10/10

Good booking. Quite interested to see what Stop The Bus is like 

Start the Bus you chief 

It's Edwards with a lick of paint surely can't be that different.

Not just a lick of paint I suspect. Edwards is a shithole full of townie tossers. Start the Bus will be classier and probably full of annoying students rather than townie tools 

You should come to the Bank tonight. Reckon you'd enjoy it 

sbd -  i think the people behind it are the same people who do sheffield's nr1 trendy chief-pub (*) "bungalows and bears" (used to be the old fire station)

(*) actually it's quite nice but it's marketing ethos / extent of brand management present is painful at times.

Also chek the Byte thread I put up recently, about 3 4x4 mixes in there:

i read this as 3x4, i thought you'd discovered a whole new genre of schaffel-niche there andy.

you could always try www.nathanbarley.com

 

1. chis duckenfield is a badman. this is a great record by him: http://www.discogs.com/release/243157

2. did you know that the famous "Watch yer bassbins I'm tellin ya" sample used by Altern8 was uttered by chris duckenfield?

On the latter, yes, on the former, no. Is the RAC track him? Prior to SWAG Chris and Richard Brown used to record as RAC as Warp. I actually used to buy records off Chris at the Warp shop as a youth. I always found it a bit scary as I knew nothing about Detrot techno or Chicago house then, and they used to stock shitloads of that stuff. It was a top shop… RIP 

yep it's the RAC track. great 2step-ish techno... i used to go to the warp shop a fair bit, it closed (or turned to fopp) shortly after i started buying vinyl though. i didn't have a clue what any of the tunes were though.

Yeah, it turned into Fopp. To start with they kept a big vinyl department upstairs (which is where the Warp record label offices used to be before they moved to 'The Ballroom' of some old building near Glossop Road baths), but ragged it off after a year or two. Bizarerly the bloke who used to serve me when I shopped in the vinyl bit at Fopp went to London and ended up working in PR. Had no idea until I met him at Cargo and he said "who are you… I used to sell vinyl to you". I said "Matt from iDJ" and he went "that's weird, I'm Lewis from Emms and I've been speaking to you on the phone for the last year and never knew".

Who'd have thunk etc.

Sheffield in the area this weekend  Steel City party vibes 

indeed. the upstairs used to be OK for a while. I used to spend a lot of time in there ignoring all the quality detroit / chicago house and techno and just buying drumcode and primate records.

anyway, have a goodun 2nite etcetc..

The exclusivity relates to the fact he's actually going to be playing a full live set on a church organ we're getting installed especially for the night. Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.  I'll make sure all the promo is correct before anything else is released 

 

should be a top night!

triptic is looking big for 2008!

if jim rivers is such a hardworking dj, why does he only manage to fit 10 tunes into his may promo mix? what exactly does he do during the 6 minutes that each song is playing? receive congratulatory lines of charge from his army of loved up yesmen? book his next years flights to ibiza? surf the 'posh trance' section on beatport? or does he just gaze catatonically into the middle distance? sorry to be negative but yawn x999999999999

your just jealous that neither sugartime or maxibeat is getting any venue love in the 07.

nice, will be along to this i reckon,

ginuwine : pony

 

OMG I haven't heard that in time!!

Surely thats from like 2000-odd, cant be a tune of 2007!

yeah i just thought i'd put it in to see if anyone noticed.

it will clearly be in my top 10 of any year. including the years before it was released.

"grimey princess" from the joker record on earwax is the bossest tune of 2007.

also:

appleblim - vansan
villalobos mix of shackleton
"nothing never done before the time" white mice reissue
ginuwine : pony
emptyset's  latest jams
cv313
Syntheme record on planet mu
ugandan speed trials
RSD release on punch drunk (yep and everything else on PD as well...)
sleeparchive - MRI scanner

i didn;'t buy too much new music this year due to being often quite skint, so i'm not the best person to comment

http://www.birthdaypartyberlin.com/

is this any good to you?

i got this mix on CD and it's very good. that is all. thanks.

This is a nice:



http://www.cov-ops.co.uk/mixes/Intex%20Systems%20-%20Minimal%20Techno%20Mix.mp3

Cocks - the link is dead. Ignore me.

that looks really good, anyone fancy uploading it?

I have it on my desktop - could bang it up on rapidshare or something?

just got around to listening to this, it's really enjoyable, thanks for re-upping it..

glacial music to suit the current glacial vibes.

i never knew that Ruxpin was behind a lot of the octal industries / spectral network stuff. and now i do. 

Pete, i think they said your record was "reduced house compatible" ie your tune is compatible with reduced house. (in a djing sense one presumes)

http://hardwax.com/?search=reduced+house

TIP!!! HIT !!! etc etc.

good record btw!

Speedy J : G Spot - it's meant to be listened to in one go, and is great.

i've got the utah saints first album on tape. it's well boss.

I think you would really dig the Shaman Album - You can borrow the tape - its a classic

techno isnt a genre that generally translates well to album format. usually its a case of artists putting a load of unrelated unreleasable fodder onto a double 12. no good for the home and no good for the floor...whats the point?!

but yesterday i picked up 2 really good techno albums that have come out recently:

cristian vogel : the never engine http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q317/moochach/df21_irbm.gif
dettman/klock: scenario http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/292227-01.htm&highlight=klock

some more classic techno/house that werks in LP format:
cristian vogel: dungeon master
vainqueur: elevations
surgeon: force and form
ricardo villalobos: alcachofa
luomo: vocal city
daft punk: homework
the other people place: lifestyles of the laptop cafe

what other techno/house dance long players would hijack recommend?

great tehcno album:

der zyklus : biometry



a bit difficult but it's worth persevering.

Justin Berkovi - In the bag (harthouse 1999) - this is when justin berkovi still made mental wonky techno.

Really liking the Klock/Dettmann stuff.  Someone should book them asap.  I guess Klock might be hard to book though as he's resident at Bergheim if I'm not mistaken.

funny you should say that, we're not doing it but....

 

yep, there aren't really many. Also, the is it an LP or a double EP? thing that puffin mentions kicks in a lot. There a loads of good techno double EP's

But any way, here's a few more LP choices. presumably compilations don't count:

The Dave Clarke album Archive 1.
Mika Vainio : Metri
Surgeon : Communications
Neil Landstrumm :  Bedrooms and Cities.

Basically sell by dave hit the nail on the head here. If a producer comes out with 4 sides of great techno bangers, it's a great collection of tracks but can't be regarded as a single body of work in the traditional album sense. Or they throw in a mixture of stuff and try and express some "vision" over the trakcs as a whole and it rarely works. Cristian Vogel can do it well i think, Neil Landstrumm as well.

You need to set up a decontamination tent on stokes croft for all those attending:



^ This ones a bit pricey,

but this is only 4.99 from ikea, just add a hose or watering can and your away.

this looks great... i would be there if i could..

do what youre told and dont do anything stupid. foward step, left step, right step, you'll be alright.

or just forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward,

carl craig is all very well and good, but lets be fair he's no benny benassi

ey ey, have a good one tonight u freax.

hmmm

if the spatzles don't take your fancy, you could instead have a "farmers breakfast" which is basically fried potato, served with a gherkin and a couple of fried eggs on top. Or have them and the spatzles

had a first listen to the instramentals vinyl of this last night. its proper good. it works as an album, it's not just a collection of dubstep trax. well done rob!
