Re: (313) mike grant/what's lighting your candle
Yes, I especially like the Isolee Pyjama Mix. I also recommend the following records: Phonogenic Generations (Jesper Dahlback Mix) From Togetha EP (20:20 Vision UK) DK (Jesper Dahlback) Murder Was The Bass (DK Recordings UK?) Luciano Quenum Orange Mistake (Cadenza Germany) Snap Mode Radium Files EP (Relief US) Also worth checking are the following: Alaska (Laurent Garnier) Returning Back To Sirius/ At Night (F Communications/ Mute US) Erotek Erotek Behavior (Twilight 76 US) Cem Salman Deep And The City (Teknotika US) V/A Explore The Space - Version 1.0 (Macintosh US) Orrin - Original Message - From: robin pinning [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Odeluga, Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 6:29 AM Subject: RE: (313) mike grant/what's lighting your candle Osbourne/Isolee (Spectral) - Daylight.

Phonogenic Generations (Jesper Dahlback Mix) From Togetha EP (20:20 Vision UK) DK (Jesper Dahlback) Murder Was The Bass (DK Recordings UK?) i don't have these but the DK7 thing on output is really good...slightly too well produced (if u know what i mean) but very modern acid in a house way not a squat techno way the remixes of the above are also quality. robin...

Any more info on Snap Mode on Relief? Who is it? (Haven't seen a new relief record in about 6 years I think!) k

Ken said: ...many djs imo are still bizarrely dipping into what seems to me the majority of releases which are weaker, from the areas we like... This comment intrigued me, could you elaborate on this?? /Dave Hi, Nothing too deep. Just consider this. On this list this year (already) there have been some records which have been recommended. Most of the time, if one happens to pick one of this tips up, they turn out to be at least interesting and sometimes, downright *amazing*! And they're across the map - I mean, not necessarily in one particular sub-genre. Yet despite this, how often have you gone out and not only have you *not* heard any these obviously available tracks, but instead have heard ones which whilst you don't know their origin, you wish you hadn't become aquainted with them at all! We're all guilty of 'obscuritis' at times I admit: the tendency to favour that which is barely known outside a very small circle of devotees. Perhaps there is a touch of this going on, with some dj's selections. It's when perfectly good, but relatively well-known stuff (which is ironic considering that 'relatively well-known' in our sphere of interest is still damn obscure from a wider perspective, but hey ...) is eschewed for lesser known but (sometimes) bloody naff alternatives (I wonder if English curses are let through?! ;-). This doesn't apply to all disc players, but everyone will be afflicted at sometime it seems. As I say, I admit, this could just be my subjective opinion and I'm getting ancient too ;-) (by some people's standards) but it seems to me that the above is too often the case, though not always, of course. And I don't want to make too much of this either - I mean, to a large extent, who cares? The above gripe is one of the reasons why we organize our own events isn't it?! Peace k
