Basic Channel / Echocord stuff does it for me. This especially.

Just realised I'm an idiot - I really like Kirschner as well, I was thinking of Richard Chartier when it comes to boredom.

Yes, no disrespect to the artist but I think the reason there is so much of it, and the fast turnaround is because once you reach the level where you can produce this kind of ambient drone - once you are in the zone - its fairly easy to make more and more of it. I find Kirschner to be quite...

Its like some kind of a namlook/merzbow-esque stream of musical thought - but with better quality control. I initially thought this was the Boomkat-hype-machines dream come true, an artist they can blow up and flog releases on an almost bi-weekly schedule - but it really is cracking stuff...

I am quite a simplistic person, and have always loved the ragga-jungle end of the hardcore/breakcore scene. Panacea 'low profile darkness', Alec Empire 'The Destroyer' - followed later by Bong Ra and co. I just wish more people made good solid simple music like this. Seems to be a dead genre -...

If you're into it, I'm out of it.

Ah right, sorry, I did misunderstand you. And yes it is tedious to create your own midi maps - although most popular kit (like the Vestax VCI) has plenty of them on the internet to download... if you are using a more obscure midi device then do-it-yourself is the best or only option.

Unless I have misunderstood you, you seem to be mixing up your software and hardware? The VCI is just a midi interface and can be used with any software, so the question of FLAC support depends entirely on what you decide to use it with - same for fx - you can map its buttons to whatever...

What is your budget? NI Audio Kontrol if you are feeling flushed; http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/flypage/product_id/15131 Don't get the budget Numark DJ I/O - I've heard it has latency problems with ableton.

I have started playing around with Traktor in the privacy of my own front room - thought I may as well make use of the vast amount of music I have accumulated over the years. I have never DJ'ed before, having been content to watch friends on the decks and just nod my head along to the music...

Hypothetical Situations is by far my least favourite Drexciyan release, a massive dissapointment as well since it was the hardest one for me to track down on CD and the last one I got. The Quest goes for silly money now, I remember thinking £20 was a lot for it when I found it. All of the newer...

I adore certain Drexciyan releases, I've got most but on CD which is far easier/cheaper than it is for you poor vinyl junkies. For me it is all about Grava 4, The Journey Home, The Cosmic Memoirs Of The Late Great Rupert J. Rosinthrope and Lab Rat XL. I always thought that the Two Lone...

Sorry didn't mean to leave a cliffhanger there - it turned out I didn't have it and yes, I probably meant the X chromosome, I can never remember which is which. I just found it amusing that they turn to the web as well, until then I had always imagined a doctor reaching for some dusty tome of...

A fair few years ago now, it turned out my mother carried the genetic defect for Muscular Dystrophy. There was a 50% chance the defective Y chromosome had been passed to me and I imagined my muscles starting to break down and death by late twenties (I had always been extremely shit at sport). So...

I must be losing touch with dubstep then, because I thought it was the worst release Hyperdub have put out.

I love the album, but hate everything else Zomby has produced. Is there something wrong with me?

O = Ostgut Tontrager P = Portishead surely?

One of my childhood memories is staying round a friends house (big old mansion) and staying up all night armed with air rifles and pistols, picking off mice. The pistols were too weak and only stunned them. Air rifle shot to the head did the job. Execution style.

Is no one else pissed off that the end of the world has been delayed until next spring?

Phobia of black holes?
