That was actually a self-deprecating joke.
I do prefer to yank it out of the mix like that - for me it's a way of keeping the beat going but at the same time breaking up the smoothness so it doesn't all just merge into one blob. Though when I did that in Porto another dj in the booth looked at me as though I was totally mad and started laughing.

basically describes my entire playing records in public
all about the selection. fuck the technicality
that's fine for ragga and bashment but with mills/hood type minimal techno or proper deep house it can get really tiring to hear the mixable dj intro all the time. but if you can skip them, then yeah no problem.

sounds like your man spent his load too soon, I crossfade with a second to go.... sometime there's hiss and dead air...but "building a vibe'

Yeah you don't want to hear 30 seconds of just the beat at the start/end of every track. I understand why so many tracks have that of course but hearing it makes you very conscious that you're listening to a very functional dj-tool type record, and if you play all of it every time it's like you're showing the crowd the ugly workings of a machine that should be hidden.
in a lot of more traditional house and techno clubs djs will mix into the last djs tune. I'm not really into that, i think it should be a clean slate.

no never did.
yeah that nails the vibe. i liked moments in it but i can't imagine going back.

yeah that's the bandcamp blurb but it's such a long, expansive blurb it is effectively like an old school liner note
like quite a few of these 'release rationales', not sure it does the music any favours

I should explore Holden a bit more cos one of his tunes ('Sky is Pink rmx') is one of my favourite techno (or whatever it is) tunes and I also rediscovered this the other day somehow
Just having a browse on Spotify, the first tune on there by him (chronologically) is a straight up trance tune which doesn't accord with what I imagined he 'was'.

Does feel a bit dance music for indie boys, not Kasabian indie boys, Radiohead indie boys
Still I like that gimmick he exploits on 'Lump' and 'Sky is Pink', not sure how often elsewhere, of a portentous riff slowly bubbling over, fizzing, buzzing, then dissolving into fractals etc.

Now i think about it, and listening to 'horizons' side by side, I guess that is a trance thing - I mean its obvious really. A three or four note riff — with an 'epic' sort of feel to it — getting louder and louder. But I never thought of trance before listening to those tunes cos they sound more dark and robotic and stripped back.

Music from the last 72 hours has a shelf life of about 72 hours these days and it's been this way for years now - old man opinion but you know it's true.
no way, this is more interesting than just posting a load of new music and not discussing it. fuck's sake corpsey don't listen to Benny.

Straight to landfill after 72 hours if that
