just got a promo of this upcoming album on emoticon, and it's excellentttt
i cant do a proper review right now, but wow, that track masonette --
beautiful, beautiful..and hot too..!
lots of other dope, spacey, space-jazzy broken beat, electro, techno on
there too..great great basslines, sweet melodies, and i am a sucker for
those funk chords russ uses (as in 'jazz in the funk',
'tisch-tennis'...)..an album from a master and it shows...overall is more
techno than i expected, spacey!
also very much enjoy the recent 12"s by rei loci and arne weinberg on
headspace...especially the a-side of rei's being wicked stomping melodic
techno jams with a real detroit feeling, bit of juan in there, and the first
and last cuts on arne's record deep deep moody slightly loose gems along the
lines of old 3mb. quality techno yayyy
also recently heard:
aaron carl on afrosyntrix -- dancefloor jams, very nice stripped down
chit...has a nice stripped down computer-voice retake on that "if you aint
got no cash..." song...and the two last cuts (there are 6 total) are reallll
nice...bringing some deep strings and hot chords (ctrl-end reminds very much
of drexciya's waterwalker)...reccomended...afrosyntrix s a great label, this
is the 4th after 3 nice erotek 12s..
wanexa/expansives/spoonich reissue 12" on i-f's panama, very very essential
for italo lovers...that wanexa is so fuzzed out its crazy, and the
expansives has the softest nicest portamento'd bassline...yeah...all
officially licensed this time around...
recloose (vs meikbar) us vs us on rush hour, the original is pretty nice
smooth kinda cut up house, guess it's much like what you'd expect from
recloose, but the kid sublime (of rednose distrikt) remix on the b is just
super super deep beautiful straight-beats hiphop...or real slow house kinda
the same thing right....dope dope!
dj minx record on women on wax (#2), had a quick listen, not a great record,
some nice congas and bits here and there, seemed a little
undeveloped/unfinished overall, but shows lots of promise...
btw while i was in dallas a few weeks ago, we headed down to the usa's
biggest record convention in austin -- i got juan & 3mb (tresor #7), sealed,
for 2$...maybe my best bargain find ever..such a great record (aside from
bassmental which i'm not so hot on)
bye
