Armin has gotten out of control. It was okay around 2004. I need to grab some fresh tunes and get a new mix up. Slackin as of late...the return of spaced out sundays. What up yo! That soundcloud page needs a bump or a sticky. Vinyl man mofo vinyl!
 
YAlso the answer to armin is Paul van dyk. I need to get some new sets of his coz its on another level. I can worship pvd like a god.
 
Has anyone seen either Reboot or Christopher Dahm? - they're both playing in Manchester tomorrow night and I'm thinking of going (although I'm leaning towards not going).
 
^ negative, but i listened to reboot's album Shunyata for awhile when it came out, haven't revisited it. i dig his sound tho its nothing like extraordinary.

btw dude i got around to watching Anthony Rother live @ Fuse. totally awesome, i never saw an electro producer live utilize the "vocoder". that was the highlight for me, but all the beats were slammin. very cool footage and sounds.

I didn't go in the end. I listened to a few of his tracks on youtube, and exactly as you say - ok but nothing mindblowing. There's a couple of good nights on next weekend though - Friday night there's Greg Vickers and Justin Robertson, and Saturday night there's Derrick Carter and DJ T :)


Really glad you liked that Anthony Rother clip! - as far as solo electronic artists go, his live show is about as live as you can get. Not only does he sing live (through a vocoder), but he also plays the keyboard live on some of those tracks (which hardly any other live electronic acts do). The highlight of the set for me is the penultimate track ('Live Is Life') - I love the way the track evolves, and then just when you think it's ended, everything comes back in one last time =D


For anyone wanting an introduction to electro, I'd totally recommend that clip. It's Anthony Rother live at Fuse (2003)
 
Derrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiick!

I'm kinda bummed I missed Derrick Carter the other weekend. He always jacks up the place with a slice of chicago house. He's a nice fellow too.
 
I've seen DC once before (at a festival in Melbourne), and he was really good. I've never seen DJ T, but I'm a big fan of the Get Physical electrohouse sound.

............then again, I've seen Greg Vickers and Justin Robertson several times before, and they never disappoint :)

Decisions Decisions.................
 
Ive been listening to the 1994 Massive Attack Essential Mix a lot recently, and its definitely gotta be one of my favorite essential mixes of all times. A lot of amazing underground hip hop and trip hop mixed beautifully. All vinyl, mind you.

Damn its great.
 
Funny twit about Rusko and Deadmau5

Someone sent me this picture http://i32.tinypic.com/257zo8k.jpg

Dont know how to figure out if that is real or not. Any ideas? I always thought Deadmau5 was over rated but I didnt think he was that much of a tool.

edit:Just check the twitter website and it was on there too so i guess its real.

edit two: can the mod change the title to say tweet?
 
So I tried mixing psytrance for the first time. It's not too hard to mix. I find trying to blend the tracks like I do with house (using the equalizer extensively) almost impossible to do. It just doesn't sound right to blend the tracks.
