Riley: Mix starts off somewhere, goes off somewhere else for a bit, then changes its mind and goes to somewhere different, before finally deciding to go back to where it started.
More or less.
Thus it is a circular mix.
These are quite difficult to do though i’ve heard that the square ones are even more hard.
“House music dominated dance music discourse in 2009, perhaps even more than last year. Gone was much of the fussy, whittled clickety-clack of minimal, replaced by hot 909s, boomy drum samples, syncopated stabs, and looped vocal shots. “Deep” remained the byword, represented in bluesy chords, relaxed grooves and, far too often, sounds and rhetoric designed to invoke the notion of “soufulness.”
[…] Ultimately, much of my dissatisfaction with the mainstream of “underground” house this year had to do with its pacing, reliant as it was upon arbitrary 4- and 8-bar sequences that often felt like marching in place, waiting for the obligatory change. It was neither hypnotic, despite its repetitions, nor dynamic, despite its buildups and breakdowns, many of which echoed progressive house in its predictable rushes and denouements. Dancing, like too many cultural experiences these days, felt too much like buffering: drumming your fingers on the desk while you waited for something to happen.” Philip Sherburne
Ca sa o facem lata cu Etienne Jaumet saptamana asta : primul sau album solo, aparut in octombrie (produs de Carl Craig, buhuhu) si live-ul de la rokolectiv de anul asta.
Un set continuu de 19 piese de pe 20 de releasuri David Moufang & Pete Namlook. Omu cat traieste mai gaseste cate un release Move D. Sau 20. Nici nu ma uit la opere complete, le las sa apara cate una, nu ma grabesc nicaieri. Understated beauty.
Redshape e Detroit, sunet analog, masca, istorie, valori… tot discursul. Poate ca asta e si The Dance Paradox: cum a ajuns viitorul sa sune ca trecutul.
“[…] with America, hip-hop is hip-hop, and even though the music changes and new sounds and people come into it, the flow remains hip-hop. But in the U.K., as soon as something new comes along, it’s like, “Oh, that’s new music—let’s call it a new name!” when really, it’s all the same thing. We just progress along. [it’s] the kind of thing born out of 20-plus years of genre-waving until everyone just got sick of it. Like, if you had to title every new fashion season something new, and eventually you were just like, “fuck it… let’s just call this season ‘clothes.'” Geeneus for Mutant Funk
Text in romana aici pentru a sublinia importanta acestui post. Tot ce postam este de fapt o recomandare, ca doar nu le punem sa radem de ele, totusi, unele sunt mai importante ca altele. S-a subliniat. Albumul asta e unul din cele pe care le poti astepta o viata intreaga si sa nu vina. Sa iti doresti ceva, sa simti exact zona si cam cine ar putea sa faca asta si totusi, insensibili la dorintele tale, nimeni sa nu faca nimic. In momentul asta unii se apuca sa faca muzica, altii mai beau o bere. Cei care acum doi ani erati indragostiti de Battles, rejoice, forta creativa din spatele trupei revine anul acesta cu o orchestra intreaga in loc de trupa iar rezultatul este unul dintre cele mai minunate albume de modern composition.
