08.04.12 | A bit tempted to replace that San'en album with something else for ruining this pretty list.
I forgot a few on here that I remembered after I set the number of items, most notably Bok Bok's Southside Remixed. Let me know if you know of any essential shit I'm missing here. Still working on grabbing more on my own as well. |
Deviant.
08.04.12 | Not the biggest fan of new Sparrow, I feel like he's a guy who works better in long format. His album is a killer |
StrangerofSorts
08.04.12 | Change in a Dynamic Environment 2 is better imo, so I'd check it. |
Deviant.

auberginedreams
08.04.12 | eh this stuff is alright i guess, but have you heard of the hedgehog's dilemma? i don't know much
about him but some say he's the future of music and possibly mankind as a whole. he's making some big
waves right now, just ask dev. personally i think he's a bit overrated but i can't argue with the
masses. |
TMobotron
08.04.12 | Nah I heard him he sucks.
Thanks dev 90% of that is shit I haven't heard yet. Gonna go on a listening spree this weekend. |
auberginedreams
08.04.12 | yeah i agree, fuck that guy. |
TMobotron
08.04.12 | Did you check that track I shout boxed you? |
auberginedreams
08.04.12 | oh yeah sorry i forgot to reply. yeah it was pretty good, i liked the whole gothic vibe. |
TMobotron
08.04.12 | You really should man, there's so much good shit happening right now.
And yeah aubergine no worries I was just curious. I saw you asking for something depressing/melancholy in dev's list and that's something I've always dug for that vibe. Probably a little different in aesthetic and the way it's structured than what you were looking for but I love the mood. |
TMobotron
08.04.12 | What sort of stuff have you been digging? |
WhiteNoise
08.04.12 | John Frusciante - Letur-Lefr
do it! |
ProfessorVeerappan
08.04.12 | 1 adn tycho rule |
Rev
08.04.12 | you're missing the >100 sputnik user ambient releases lol
but great list, there's a bunch of stuff I still gotta grab.
I second the stuff Dev listed, along with
Sorrow - Shinigami
Versa and Biome/Rowl - Full Moon
Sleeper and District - Terraformed
Koreless - Lost in Tokyo (a single/remix but still worth noting)
Joy Orbison & Boddika - Froth/Mercy
Jacques Greene - Ready
Biome - Minus/Moody
|
jungletiger
08.04.12 | man, I dunno theres something about burial that doesn't do it for me. I feel like hes missing something. Although some of the stuff he does is really cool. But I can't see him progressing or evolving too much. |
MisterTornado
08.04.12 | Shocked nobody mentioned Mister Lies - Hidden Neighborhoods. |
jungletiger
08.04.12 | and by that i mean he'll tweak here and there but generally stick to that one style. |
jungletiger
08.04.12 | haha so you just think he sucks |
treeqt.
08.04.12 | well fuck you how am i supposed to listen to all of this :(
i'm not even through the dev list yet |
Graveyard
08.04.12 | kindred wasn't that good, but ashtray wasp was an awesome track |
Acanthus
08.04.12 | Cool list, giving 2 a listen.
Edit: Really like this EP, gunna have to get it. |
TheFonz123
08.04.12 | i'll be checking some of this ish out thanks dude |
deepintheorchard
08.04.12 | Look at all those circles inside those squares. |
Rev
08.04.12 | TMob you live in Phoenix right? |
TMobotron
08.04.12 | Yup. I'll check some of those recs out for sure, I listened to that Boddika/Joy Orb Dun Dun/Prone release, forgot to check out the other stuff, and I sampled that Jacques Greene a bit. I didn't love it TBH but I kinda wanna give it a full proper listen before I decide.
Acanthus, if you dig that stuff make sure to check the L-Vis CC Remix of Reminder that was on Bok Bok's remix EP.
Most of this shit's on dev's lists so it's not really a lot of additional stuff to check, but this is ranked if you want to get pointed in the direction of the stuff I thought was best.

TMobotron
08.05.12 | Swindle probably |
Rev
08.05.12 | "Yup."
man we should totally hang out sometime. I'll totally hit you up next time I'm up there, which will probably be early September if I go up for Saboten |
TMobotron
08.05.12 | I'm thinkin about seeing the tallest man on earth on the 1st, not sure if you're into him but that might be sweet. |
Rev
08.05.12 | I've never really got into any of his releases that much but I really need to give him another shot, plus just going to shows is fun anyway, especially since no one good ever comes to Tucson |
Deviant.
08.05.12 | "man we should totally hang out sometime."
See, this is how these things get started. It all starts off very innocent, where one arranges a meeting with the other under the pretense of 'hanging out". Then bam! Suddenly your foreskin is being used as a lampshade to decorate his house |
auberginedreams
08.05.12 | i take it they don't circumsice in new zealand? |
mindleviticus
08.05.12 | Suddenly your foreskin is being used as a lampshade to decorate his house
lol'd pretty hard.
Shocked nobody mentioned Mister Lies - Hidden Neighborhoods.
That EP is pretty sweet. Love False Astronomy. |
Deviant.
08.05.12 | And Rev's got a lot of lampshades |
TMobotron
08.05.12 | No, they do. They just use the foreskin as a lampshade afterwards. |
auberginedreams
08.05.12 | ah, that clears things up. |
Deviant.
08.05.12 | "i take it they don't circumsice in new zealand?"
Is there a question you want to ask me? And in turn, is there a question you should be asking yourself right now? |
TMobotron

Link to a playlist that has that Blawan EP with audio taken from the digital version of the tracks, should be no quality issues besides youtube quality itself. |
Rev
08.05.12 | "And Rev's got a lot of lampshades"
funnily enough, I actually don't own a single lamp |
Deviant.
08.05.12 | Yeah, but I bet you got shades for days |

clercqie
08.05.12 | Very cool stuff man, bookmarked. |
TMobotron
08.06.12 | Wow, "Why Don't You" off that Synkro EP is fucking smoooooth. I love that one. Checked Biome - Minus / Moody too, that's good as well if a bit predictable. |
Deviant.
08.06.12 | Really don't get the hype surrounding that guy. Bit of sub bass with no real rhythm and typical drunken half step beats |
TMobotron
08.06.12 | I wasn't huge on Moody, but Minus kind of hit the spot for me today. Those different synths coming in and out gave it a nice groove IMO, it's a high 3/low 3.5 for me overall. |
Deviant.
08.06.12 | I just wish he'd step his game up instead of making the bass on every track simply revolve around the snare |
Deviant.
08.06.12 | The only track that he's done that I could ever call interesting, and not just something i can simply nod my head to, is 'Shadows' |
Rev
08.06.12 | he's not the best but every once in a while his tracks really hit the spot for me |
Deviant.
08.06.12 | Just feel like that whole scene of Benton, Biome, Killawatt, Proxima, SP:MC, J:Kenzo and Tunnidge are just pulling off the same old stuff that's been done for years now. Sub bass nonsense that's just a little bit too hypnotizing if you know what I mean |
Rev
08.06.12 | yeah i get you |
TMobotron
08.06.12 | Yeah I agree it's just the generic dark Dubstep style. So many people that don't do anything to elevate themselves above decent but sometimes that sound hits just right. |
Deviant.
08.06.12 | Now DJ Madd, Matt U and Kryptic Minds, there's a bunch of guys who know how to nail that sound |
clercqie
08.06.12 | Damn, that L-Vis ep has some good shit on it.
Oh btw, regarding Kryptic Minds: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m88e5owTEQ1r7bdo2o1_500.png |
TMobotron
08.07.12 | Hasn't it been stated many times that it would never get released? |
Rev
08.07.12 | i feel like i'm the only person not super huge on KM :/ |
Deviant.
08.07.12 | There's an easy way to change that. Way until it's dark, put on some headphones, light up, and play this: http://soundcloud.com/kryptic-minds/fact-mix-241-kryptic-minds-apr |

Gonna have to get this, fuckin love Why They Hide Their Bodies |
Deviant.
08.07.12 | Good, if I have to hear another shady rip of that thing I think I would have gone just a little crazy |
TMobotron
08.07.12 | Haha yeah, been wondering when it was gonna get released. Pretty sweet it's just next week. |
Deviant.
08.07.12 | Orbison doesn't fuck around |
clercqie
08.07.12 | "http://www.factmag.com/2012/08/06/more-details-on-blawans-upcoming-hinge-finger-release/"
Yes!
Also, yeah they said it would never get released, but seems they changed their mind (re: KM) |
Deviant.
08.07.12 | I'm just happy there'll finally be a decent copy of it without Toast all over it. That track's been waiting to get mixed worldwide |
TMobotron
08.07.12 | I've kind of grown to like toast over the top of it in a way TBH. You should google Badman VIP Phiso edit for a cleaner one some dude made. |
Deviant.
08.07.12 | Don't want second hand, want badman!!!!
In all honesty though, if they didn't release it I'd be just as happy |
TMobotron
08.07.12 | Yeah, if they would've when I first heard it I'd be stoked, but I've listened to it countless times now.
That and it's kind of cool for some things to remain dubplates. |
Deviant.
08.07.12 | Yeah, if it gets released then cool; I'll have a copy and you'll have a copy, good times. But then everyone will have a copy, and it will go from being this track that's attained near mythic status, where every time it's played people associate it with some kind of sacred event, to every hack DJ and his dog rinsing it |
Deviant.
08.09.12 | Looks like New Year's is going to be a day or two earlier for me this year
http://www.rhythmandalps.co.nz/ |
clercqie
08.09.12 | Pretty cool line-up! But ticket prices seem way too expensive...
TMob, have you checked out The Traveller's ep (a Shed alias) that has come out this year? Another great techno release: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyKOmvKKEtE
|
TMobotron
08.09.12 | Hmm I know I've heard that track before in at least a few mixes. I'll have to check it. Currently
loving on xxxy's Everything release. Those tickets don't seem too bad to me though - for a 2-day thing
with that many people playing it's not bad. Deadmau5 with Excision, DJ Aero and Tommy Lee, and Zedd
was $50 alone for me. |
Deviant.
08.09.12 | Eh, I've seen worse (though I've seen better as well). Two days, and I'm interested in 90% of what's on offer there (Camo & Krooked can fuck off though), so I'm more than willing to part with that kind of cash |
clercqie
08.09.12 | Hmm, when compared with this lineup for only 6 english pounds: http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/484429_424285034276917_1710917231_n.jpg
Yeah, then 100 bucks is much :p |
TMobotron
08.09.12 | wtf how do they manage that |
Deviant.
08.09.12 | You do realise though that all of those artists live in England though right? |
Deviant.
08.09.12 | (In fact 90% of them live in London or in neighboring suburbs) |
TMobotron
08.09.12 | that's still crazy from the sheer amount of artists playing for that amount |
Deviant.
08.09.12 | Oh yeah definitely, but given that it's a label showcase being fronted by Get Darker they'll be footing the bill out of their own pocket. Asking Pinch to walk 5 blocks and spin some tunes is a little different than asking SBTRKT to travel all the way to NZ for a 2 day festival right before New Years. Travel costs will always drive tickets up |
clercqie
08.09.12 | Ok, that's a fair point. |
Deviant.
08.09.12 | In saying that though, I'm still mad jelly |
clercqie
08.09.12 | The jelliest (is that a word?) I've been, must be at the Bloc lineup from this year. Shit was insane. |
Deviant.
08.09.12 | It is a word now. That must have passed when it got shut down though (though I hear all the gigs that popped up immediately afterwards more than made up for it) |
clercqie
08.09.12 | It got shut down? Haven't heard (I was on vacation at the time). What happened? |
clercqie
08.09.12 | Just read the article, that's some bad organizing... I mean, how can you not know what the capacity of your festival site is? Especially after the Love Parade drama... |
Bloodbirds
08.09.12 | London police shut it down due to overcrowding. |
Deviant.
08.09.12 | And this is what happened when all those artists found themselves with nothing to do
"Jacques Greene will be playing in Peckham tonight with Ango, Actress, Martyn, Fort Romeau and more – Bloc ticket holders get in for free. Odd Rituals and Huntleys & Palmers’ Sunday party is also cheap for Bloc ticket holders. Flying Lotus and Oneohtrix Point Never will be DJing at XOYO, with more acts to be confirmed. There will be also be a Night Slugs non-Bloc Ustream at some point today, with Bok Bok, Jam City, L-Vis 1990 and Ikonika, while Swamp81 and Numbers have promised a joint London party soon with free entry for Bloc ticket holders. Tempo Clash host Slugabed, Blue Daisy and more in North London, while ATG are throwing a party in Shepherd’s Bush. Plex and Perc Trax, it seems, will announce venue details around 8.30pm. Hyperdub will be helping take over the Rhythm Factory, with sets from Cooly G, Flying Lotus, Kode9 and more. " |
