||||||||
|

one of my favourite musicians...for a long time. is coming out next month can't wait... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
isn't straight/ 4qrtr/ techno/house pumping kindda music? |
||||||||
|
|

read good reviews of exhibitionist. not that that's conclusive proof. whats his production work like? friend of mine runs a deephouse focused music mag + is sorting tickets for an exclusive mills set (5hrs i think) in london sometime later this month. am thinking about going along.. |
||||||||

yes, it's mostly straight 4/4 rhythm and very minimalistic, but he can do more with his minimalism than most of other arist who try and make it sound complicated...he's just brilliant at what he does, and i love most of his albums a LOT! btw, 15.000 :) |

[seems obvious from my avatar] but im really into richie hawtin's work. i love the subtlety of that minimal techno sound. its less obvious, but theres as much going on as any afx, squarepusher, autechre etc track.. and i like a lot of the old detroit classics too. what do you reckon i'll make of mills? (im not familiar enough with his work to have made up my mind yet - ive heard it as part of other djs sets, but not knowingly) any particular records/mixes youd recommend? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

hmm, i hear he's been playing a lot of house-tech lately, which im not really into, but it can easilly happen that he'll play some hard minimal stuff, so if it isn't too unconvenient for you i'd definitely recommend you to go. check his set from sonar last year (is you can find it), it will give you pretty much of an idea of what to expect. as for his albums, i totally love "art of connecting" - one of my all time favourites |

|
is it something like dave clark? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and im not particulary fond of hawtin's stuff, kind od too mellow...but i love the stuff he's releasing as plastikman - he's brilliant. btw, he was playing at sonar last year as well. ofcourse afx was better then both :) |
||||||||

im not that impressed with tech-house myself. whenever ive been to a tech-house night, ive felt as though the music is trying too hard to be overly complex. just ends up sounding crowded - loses that smooth/fluid/naturalist feel that there is in the kind of techno i like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i checked the last clark's album (which eartleakage recommended), and it isn't all that good. i like minimalism and there's just too much going on in clark's music, not my thing really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the plastikman releases are my favourite hawtin lps. but there are some good fuse tracks too. & i like the fuse lfo collaboration. but, for me, plastikman is the most moving experience - musically. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it keeps on going in your head for another 48 hours ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm with you on the minimalism thing. less is more.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't listen to tech-house either, not my thing. but pretty much every dj who used to play techno minimal is now into tech house, tho mills's set from sonar 03 is pretty hard techno, so try and get that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually i only have plastikman's latest two releases and i love them both, so minimalistic but soo intense it makes my brain itchy :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool. thanks for the pointers. if i go to the jeff mills night in london (which i should really as its cheap to go thanks to the mag + mills is generally regarded as a must-see dj) i'll let you know how it was. there dont seem to be a great number of people on xlt who like the minimal thing as much as other electronica or even drum+bass (all of which i love too) so i'll look you up next time i want to discuss this kind of thing. right .. its freezing here in this room + im tired so im off to bed. laters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah - theyre both great albums (the first two parts of the 2nd trilogy) try going back to part one of the first (sheet one).. its more lush sounding, as the plastikman records have become gradually more & more minimal/rhythmic with each release. look fwd to seeing what the next installment is like in a few years.. its such a stripped-down sound already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it's weird no one's into it. well not many...especially cuz afx apperantly likes it :) g' night |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i'll definitely try and get as many plastikman's releases as possible...thanks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree. still - it does require a whole different listening approach to appreciate its subtleties. my girlfriends still swears its repetitive.. i doubt she'll be coming to mills with me. night (again) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no 's' intended on the word girlfriends. i repeat : i am not a 'playa', i am tired + thus typos occur. |

You've got to go acrid, he'll play some records that'll change you life if you haven't heard him play before. Have you seen Ritchie play many times? At the moment he plays what could be classified as 'tech-house' it's still nice if you're out though, it's definately not cheese nonsense. Mills has got the funk + electronics, if you don't go I won't talk to you ever again... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll make sure i go.. :) its more about timing/money than desire. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a shame you didn't like the new DK album, i think he's proved a point that he's not just a one trick pony. millsy (as i affectionately like to call him) is a techno master. waveform transmission anyone? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
tell me more about waveform transmission.. |

enlighten me.. please? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't waveform transmissions a series of releases by mills? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some of my favorite jeff mills/UR records are the x-101, x-102, x-103 releases. pure classics! the 2 waveform transmission albums mills did are ace too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a series of three. jeff mills did vol. 1 & 3. robert hood did vol. 2 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got the two Mills waveform transmissions and a compilation called 'the other day'. |
