i've discovered that i can only post to 313 using my gmail account by replying to someone else's mail. and even then i'm not sure if it's showing up on the list (doesn't seem to be working either). anyone know why this could be happening?
now, the real reason why i'm posting - carl craig's dj-kicks mix cd. he uses clark 'jak to basics' but the track on the cd does not seem to bear any relation to what's on the planet e release. according to discogs, there are tracks misnamed on the cd, but this is not one of them. i only have the fiirst vinyl of the lofthouse doublepack, is this track from side c or d? if it's a remix of 'jak to basics' carl craig should release it asafp. also, i have a great love for melodic, melancholic techno, eg ur's the illuminator, icon, sterac's osirion, model 500's starlight, likemind rekeases, a lot of arne weinberg's stuff, can anyone make any suggestions of releases that tug at the heartstrings but could still work on dancefloor, eg octave one's burujha? especially recent releases from lesser known labels and lesser known artists. want to know what move people on this list, not just the usual suspects like at les - hopefully the tracks they recommend, if anyone recommends anything, would have the same effect on me. in reference to hawtin, don't think he deserves to be demonised so much. techno needs 'superstars', you never know. hawtin can be the first point of contact when it comes to techno for kids, which may lead them to delve deeper and find the really good stuff. he could be viewed as a portal to this world. if anyone deserves ire, it's the likes of tiesto. also, he is the subject of the slices dvd, he didn't make it. and i see they have ur on the cover of one of their mags, http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=51946037&imageID=1041573193&MyToken=2b713d54-8462-46fb-937e-0243e8abae67 maybe doing the hawtin edition paid for that. hawtin, villalobos, etc. always come across as personable and affable individuals. last time villalobos played in dublin he was handing out his bottle of vodka and sharing it with the crowd and playing some top notch music. these guys are approachable, not like mills, if recent anecdotes i've read are true: http://testindustries.typepad.com/test/2006/06/index.html thanks, aidano
