I listened to the samples of the new Levon on repeat for at least an hour and a half. http://blowinguptheworkshop.com/project/8--shawn-osullivan/ ^mix by Shawn O'Sullivan, who released this very good EP on WT Records http://hardwax.com/04913/shawn-osullivan/free-flight/ that whole mix series...

Read his twitter feed from time to time, full of this sort of shit: He's a shithead.

Thanks for the thread bump, spambot. Used to like his biology stuff but now can't stand this sexist, racist prick.

Yeah, that tune is sick.

Someone posted a Shed tune (under the Zigg Gonzales name) that's quite tech-housey and I don't think anyone sneered? In addition to the things you mentioned there's such a variety of other things in there that I don't feel it is really alike with the anti-foot shuffling crowd. btw, I saw a guy...

new Mosse: this Samo DJ 12" on LIES is sick, sold out at hardwax really quickly (20 minutes?) though: http://hardwax.com/67472/samo-dj/tai-po-kau/

Hmm... As I see it, stuff in this thread is euro/tech house, stuff in the house/techno threads is just...house and techno (different variations perhaps...some more experimental, deep, NY-influenced, w/e), but I really don't see anything "IDM-ish" about any of the music there. Like, what's IDM...

If he didn't give it any serious thought then that is more than a little foolish considering the subject he's working with.

I think this is a really interesting take on IB:

^really enjoyed that mix, thanks agan benjy. I still listen to both albums, especially the self-titled one, at least two or three times a month.

Crowley OTM

Haneke recently criticised Schindler's List: I suppose that his criticism that it is manipulative can be directed at Funny Games, too, but then FG isn't dealing with history the way that SL is.

Yeah, I think this is pretty spot on. Oddly, I've seen some people claim that all the tracks sound more or less the same - something that maybe was applicable to the mixtapes (which I really liked), but definitely not this. I've probably listened to it more or less all the way through at least...
