whoooooeeeeee! Just heard the new Hal Varian (yeh late...so). Dang man, enduro is the workout. Synths for days. The other two tracks I really like cause they're more atmospheric and heady without being particularly psychedelic (I love psychedelic though mind). Enduro though is a nice balance of the same heavier atmospherics with tight drums, bouncy round kick, and a synth workout aimed at the booty. I likee. (and I swiped the term "synth workout" from JT, perfect description of the sound)
Shed citylicker is hot. I'm starting to like his style more and more. At first I wasn't too into his stuff cause the kicks always seem to get lost in the mix, but now after messing around with the delsin one in the mix with a lot of different stuff, I realize as the tracks progress the overall play of sounds gets so frenetic, you can't stop moving. Still have to say it ends up getting dropped with more housey, shuffley sounds than with techno for just that reason. Heat. For the maurice fulton heads, you gotta check his remix of allessandroni paul and honesty's track welcome on crippled dick hot wax. Just a straight up disco/funk session. Nothing like the mu stuff. Dude took the original and entirely reconstructed the track with (I'm assuming) his band. Eveything sounds live. It's reeeealy good. There are some other rmxs on there but man...maurice. I was never that into "stars" I thought it was kinda bandwagon-ey for Carl when it came out. like C2 doing...I dunno, someone else though, didn't sound very C2 and still doesn't. But.... Fire, the deep dish rmx is bananas. Super deep with balls. Don't got yet. Gotta get it. Now about stars I do like, the luv city remix of the stars track on shelter is pretty nice. Hi hats doing their thing and heavy thudding kicks with gorgeous atmospherics. Some pianos though. But I like it a lot... I think, this one I've only heard the clips of. Pretty sure I do though. **the following has nothing to do with anything** And congrats to meeee! I just bought a new mixer. Caught the Vestax pcv-180 on a great deal (they've been discontinued). It's fxckin awesome. The electronics are top notch. The eq isolators ( w/infinity kills ) are as good as ranes to my ears. And the overall sound quality is through the roof! Thanks for the tip afew months back marsel. I won't lie, the reason I really wanted this one is cause it looks like a star trek control board. So now I can make a mix without fear of one channel dropping out! WOOT! If you can find one, cop one. They're maaaad cheap right now 'cause of them being discontinued. Over and out. Kamal K.
