(313) The Techno Monster Mix
Essentially records which I have but have not yet managed to put into a mix as they are either too fast or too bonkers or a combination of both. Naturally, my idea of bonkers and yours may vary, but I can only go by my own bonkers induced reality and upload the result. Looking back, theres only a couple I'd class as full on monsters, but the not so full-on are blooming fast… oddly enough i still ended up playing them at about -4, the thought of hearing them on 0 or + anything baffles me.. anyway enough warbling.. mix is here - http://www.acid-house.net/technomonsters.mp3 Basic Channel – Phylyps Trak - Basic Channel Aphex Twin – Aboriginal Mix - White DJ ESP - Fresh Air - Generator Sterac - promo Dark Comedy – Clavia's North - Art of Dance Sympletic – Noname (Remix) - Ifach Planetary Assault Systems - Forms - Peacefrog The Memory Foundation - m-Plant Anthony Shakir - The Random Hustle - Dust Science Mystic Rythem – Track Relaxer - Peacefrog Woody Mcbride - Rattlesnake - Magnetic North Jamie Read – Vibe Nations - Ugly Blake Baxter - Vision of Truth - UR The Source - Untitled - RS Basic Channel – Octaedre - Basic Channel plank promo 003 i think Monolake – Cyan - Chain Reaction Indio - Blue Fantasy - Transmat Jeff Mills - Untitled - Axis Like a Tim - Avanger - Djax-up-beats Nico - Withdrawl - ESP Perfect Sync - Down the Deep Paresys – Untitled - Re-Load Mike Henk – Untitled - Pulsar Done in one hit on 2xtechnics 1210s - approx 2 hours (just under) @320 kbps 280mb.

Yeah, Wavejumper. Lost Vessel also got that something something. But for some reason i never got around to play that one, dunno why. WaveJumper is probably my favorite as well... but as far as general listening, The Other People place gets played over and over and over again. But that's easy listening.

Re: (313) The Techno Monster Mix
as i get older, i find it harder and harder to listen to nose-bleed inducing bpms. it just sounds wrong to my ears now. thankfully, most detroit techno ain't that fast, or sounds grand slowed down. good to see jamie read on the tracklist. love LHAS and his album on fragmented On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 7:56 AM, Placid pla...@acid-house.net wrote: Essentially records which I have but have not yet managed to put into a mix as they are either too fast or too bonkers or a combination of both.

It kind of sounds like it was done in one big long session over a week or so - most of the tracks have the same production style, drum sounds and so on but maybe because of that it's a cohesive listen as an album which isn't always easy to achieve. Except for the cringe inducing Porno vocal soundtrack over sad chords tracks that is cliched beyond words :) Not from Detroit but the new Martyn 12 is pretty damn fine and if it was released 10 years ago would most certainly have went in the Detroit New Releases section in many stores :) cheers Jason -- http://soundcloud.com/andrewdukecognitionaudio http://myspace.com/andrewduke

Re: (313) The Techno Monster Mix
Strongly agree... especially from the viewpoint of dance music, some tempos are too fast, unless you are going to jit or breakdance or something... but that type of dancing, while fun, is not necessarily good for bringing groups of people together and creating some type of group consciousness that is bigger than the individuals. (Although, I did play a Detroit electro / ghettotech set at like 145 that was uber fun the other day at a friend's house party--amazing how well those records aged everything I played sounded great still). For me there is without question a spiritual component to music, and I think that for the best spiritual vibe on the dancefloor, a vibe that people can connect with regardless of whether they have ingested intoxicants or know how to breakdance, 118-128 bpm is really where you want to be. Even within that spectrum, these days for me it's actually often a lot closer to 118 than 128. This means, unfortunately, it's hard to play most actual Detroit techno. Of course, to me house and techno are a continuum and the Detroit house I play often still has that Detroit techno influence even if it would normally be sorted into the house bin. ~David On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 4:37 AM, Aidan O'Doherty aidan.b.odohe...@gmail.com wrote: as i get older, i find it harder and harder to listen to nose-bleed inducing bpms. it just sounds wrong to my ears now. thankfully, most detroit techno ain't that fast, or sounds grand slowed down. good to see jamie read on the tracklist. love LHAS and his album on fragmented On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 7:56 AM, Placid pla...@acid-house.net wrote: Essentially records which I have but have not yet managed to put into a mix as they are either too fast or too bonkers or a combination of both.

Re: (313) [EVT][Portland] Claude Young - Brian Zentz - The Mitchell Brothers - Sept 3, 2011
There's an excellent Claude interview on the Resident Advisor site: http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1398 I definitely miss the days when Claude stayed in Glasgow (from the little I remember of them) - every time I left his flat (he stayed just around the corner from me) I had a BAG of Detroit gossip and incendiary stories- none of which I could ever remember when I woke up the next day unfortunately :) He says at the end: I don't think I'll ever go back to the point where I want to do festivals. Financially it would be fantastic, but that would put me in a situation where I'd have to play records I don't want to. I'd much rather play the back rooms and be free. You know, you meet a lot of DJs—the really big ones—and they're kind of characters. I'm the farthest away from a character you can get. When you see Derrick May there is something iconic about the way he carries himself. He's an artist. I'm not really like that. I'm just a tech geek who does music. That's my thing. I think he does himself a MAJOR disservice here - Claude is definitely an artist and a character - maybe if he'd seen Derrick May's truly pitiful set at last years Bloc Festival he wouldn't hold himself in such low esteem! cheers Jason On 2 September 2011 20:44, John Sokolowski jrsokolow...@hotmail.com wrote: That was brilliant.

Re: (313) [EVT][Portland] Claude Young - Brian Zentz - The Mitchell Brothers - Sept 3, 2011
I keep hearing great things about the Awakenings festival in Holland with people saying it's not like other festivals and a couple of good things in Croatia (think half of Glasgow went there this year.its the new Barcelona!) but I've not quite got the energy to go and find out for myself. I've always been a small dark room with 100 people in it sort of guy really.

Financially it would be fantastic, but that would put me in a situation where I'd have to play records I don't want to. I'd much rather play the back rooms and be free. You know, you meet a lot of DJs—the really big ones—and they're kind of characters. I'm the farthest away from a character you can get. When you see Derrick May there is something iconic about the way he carries himself. He's an artist. I'm not really like that. I'm just a tech geek who does music. That's my thing. I think he does himself a MAJOR disservice here - Claude is definitely an artist and a character - maybe if he'd seen Derrick May's truly pitiful set at last years Bloc Festival he wouldn't hold himself in such low esteem! cheers Jason On 2 September 2011 20:44, John Sokolowski jrsokolow...@hotmail.com wrote: That was brilliant.

Re: (313) Lets start some old topics
Okay, here's some controversy. In my (quite serious) opinion, THE most INFLUENTIAL and IMPORTANT Detroit techno artist is ... wait for it... MOODYMANN. I'm not joking, it may be considered house, but I think that the way Moodymann records are mixed and structured is quite forward thinking, and maybe the blueprint for things a lot of producers all over the world now are doing, but certainly were not doing when moodymann started doing his thing. Jeff Mills also has done some really forward thinking things with arrangements and mixing, but that aspect of his output hasn't really been that influential in comparison to Jeff's DJ style and his trackier side. The greatest Moodymann record of all time for me is actually recent by the way... it's 2 late 4 u and me!!! Discuss... ;-) ~David
