yeah cheers for those. another good one is www.4four.org. you have to register, but you can then sign up for weekly email digests of new sets which is handy....particularly loving the pan-pot set from there that went up last week - typically brilliant and twisted stuff.

mm maybe i just haven't been listening to enough dubstep recently! you're right, there was a period where he played more crossover-y stuff like left leg out, and lots of stuff i didn't recognise, but he finished with a fairly lengthy section of vocal grime as far as i remember (which admittedly...

so did anyone else make it to this? unfortunately they put kode 9 on at the start of the night (tho admittedly in room 1), so i missed the first half of his set. he didn't seem to be making any concessions to the fabric saturday crowd in terms of selection, playing a similar spread of stuff to...

thanks for the tip-offs gabba - i meant to get some robert hood, kenny larkin etc when i was in hardwax last friday but i went waaay over budget just on recently released stuff! an obvious one i know, but villalobos' mixes are generally (perhaps surprisingly) un-wanky and self-indulgent...

:) I know next to nothing about 90's techno, having only started seriously listening to dance music a couple of years ago...all i would say is that i get a similar sense of excitement about the current scene to that you are describing w/r/t 90's techno: the diversity of labels, producers and...

well i think mixing non-minimal (but not necessarily non-4/4, or even non-techno/house) tracks into a predominantly minimal set can definitely enhance the whole thing. but using minimal tracks "out of context", in a highly eclectic set (i'm thinking here of someone like optimo) doesn't work at...

i think you just need to listen differently. minimal, when it is really minimal and not, say, something like matt o'brien that just happens to be placed in the "minimal" section of record shops, works by very subtle modulations over a long period of time. listen to the new thomas melchior -...

"What would be more interesting would be a night with one room of minimal and one room of dubstep... until that happens the much mooted crossover will remain little more than a pipedream I suspect." - gek-opel then they go one better and have minimal and dubstep in the same room....

matthew dear @ fabric i missed this set when i was there cos i was in room one listening to villalobos - absolutely stunning. http://bb.4four.org/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=16722

OTM. Although it's never going to be as dizzylingly incredible (i would actually say unsettling ) as the first time, it certainly stands up to repeated listenings (because of subtleties like the snare you mention). but it's the fact that it's such a dj/dancefloor-friendly record, as well as a...

So I've finally got hold of the vinyl edition of this, and it turns out that THIS is the track that's been, literally, haunting me ever since I heard Luciano spinning it on a sunlit Berlin dancefloor back in June. I swear that those horns, and the riff, have been in my head ever since. And now...

andrew weatherall dropped this at fabric the other week, as confetti floated down from the ceiling and everyone just lost it....:) also absolutely loving pan-pot's stuff at the moment...particularly the black lodge ep and their remix of rancho relaxo

btw it's great to actually have a bit of a debate going on the literature board - more of this please! :)

emotionless?? /snow/ is about, among other things, the difficulty of correctly interpreting one's own emotions. this means that the characters (in particular ka) are often unsure of how they feel emotionally. but that's not the same as being emotionless. in fact it's only by thinking about...

ok - "hate" was overstating it slightly.... i think you have both missed the point i was making re: content and engagement with political issues. i sit firmly on the "form" side of the fence in the old form/content debate (hence my dislike of david hare): there is nothing i hate more than...

i'm really surprised to see so much hate for pamuk here. i've read the two novels in discussion here - /MNIR/ and /Snow/ - and i greatly enjoyed them both...../MNIR/ took a bit of getting into, but really that's the price you pay for formal trickery like the rotating narrative perspective.....i...

this sounds good...and i liked "swiss on rye"....anyone know a release date for this?

yeh either there or on the main dancefloor, gyrating like coma victims being stood up and zapped with cattle prods - eyes closed, total concentration. this was in berlin anyway, and germans do take their techno very seriously... btw i've got nothing against such people....i actually kinda...

lol! funny thing is at these nights, for every hipster complete with minimal scarf, tastefully ripped t-shirt and white powder of uncertain composition caked around his nosehole, you have the odd "conservatively dressed, bespectacled, slightly withdrawn, , stone-cold-sober, intensely serious...

haha could be...yeh there really is no rhyme nor reason to it...me and my girlfriend got in three times, no bother, but then a fourth time (with someone else) we were turned away with no explanation....
