yer,
Oscillate wedding was a hoot ... at last I got to see Plaid live
and they were awesome
its much easier to dance to when you can watch the flashing lights
on the 808
they did about an hour of new stuff, some with very strange time
signatures.
they also did wicked things with an Akai DD-1000 jog wheel that
made me jealous ...
i was pleased to see that someone still uses Dr.T's KCS software ...
Higher Intelligence Agency played a blinder too, and are so much
better live than on record.
Their last track was outstanding, much more of a techno edge than
before.
The excuse for this knees-up was of course the nuptials of Sean
(Autechre) and Chantal
(Telepathic Fish / Warp) and so most of the UK's IDM posse showed up.
ANYWAY I'm writing this cos I got something very interesting at the
party ...
it's a new ep from our old friend rdj
it's called mashed potatoes and it is INCREDIBLE
there are five tracks all at 161 bpm
it's gonna be the most controversial record around!
if you liked the mix on 'Redone' you're gonna freak for this!
is it jungle? no. is it ambient? no
i would say its very richard ....
it's well up there with AB1, Didgeridoo, Quoth.
that means ESSENTIAL!
also compulsory - PLUG 3 yum yum and of course Plug 2 and Plug 1
SUBTROPIC is a big hit in the UK now for Reflective, maybe the
first jungle import to
really cross over ... certainly the first from California!
AS ONE - Reflections on Reflections, a fantastic remix LP from Kirk
Detroitio and his
excellent chums Carl Craig, Balil, Russ Gabriel, Scanner etc ...
DR ROCKET LP (Clear) double 10" from Wishmountain, from ambient to
jungle to house and back
ATTICA BLUES remixes on Mowax from Hawtin, Photek, Alex Reece ...
actually all the jungle stuff on Mowax is totally spot on right now
EXTREME POSSIBILITIES is the hot ambient LP right now with Jonah
Sharpe, Pemberton
John Tye, Paul Thomas, Voafose, Wagon Christ
NAV KATZE LP is now out on vinyl for Black Dog, Afx fans - minus
the Glob Comm mix ...
BORN UNDER A RHYMING PLANET is our old friend Jamie Hodge and his
newie on plus 8
is strangely brilliant and vice versa, nice one Jamie!
check out any of these that you can find!
