2001 or so this guy did a mix of drukqs (a good one, to boot!) back when i was first really getting into the album. it was 48k and i still listen to it a lot these days (good mix, damnit). i emailed him if he ever wanted to send out a higher bit rate one, he mailed back saying he ahd just put it up (coincidence??) and at 192k :) wee, |
||||||||
|

im not sure what it is but I know that it is some altered form of druqks so I am downloading it immediately! |

it's really good, I've listened to it plenty of times, there is some really good slowing down and speeding up of a lot of tracks and some really good cross-overs |

.....interesting. Um, I guess this relates somehow, but I recorded a good elect. track from a net radio station and saved it as .wav. Like a dumbass, I deleted it thinking my VBR encode would be ok. I deleted said reference .wav file. I then noticed said encoded mp3 had major problems, namely sound quality. So I get a file restoration program and use it to retrieve the wav and play it. What comes from my speakers is true random electronic bliss. Scares the shit out of me; It's like my PC is a DJ and has randomly assembled some sort of glitchy mix from bit bucket heaven! I didn't even think twice that the file was sharing clusters with other files in the directory I recorded them into at it's current deleted state, so this is my explaination of why it was restored as a "mix". Mebbe this'll give you all an idea.... hmm? If anyone wants, I'll give you a copy of the "mix". It's pretty dope, IMHO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now that I think about it, it's like someone recorded sifting through numerous radio stations, so it might be a little annoying to some. Shit, the recovered wav file wasn't even the track I saved haha I wish I could recognize what it is, it's pretty lush |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One note about that program: Do *not* save the recovered file to the same drive you recorded the original to. If you do, you'll fuk yer drive up Some kinda FAT bug No pun intended |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hook it up..., sounds neat.... can you compress it to mp3 or something before you send it/put it up somewhere? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shit, that's fucking brilliant! Thanks elusive! |
||||||||

thinktoy's from these here parts and has been a great piononeer of electronica on dublin radio and in gigs/festivals for years. This mix was up and running the very week drukqs came out over here... masterfull I remember emailing him about the mix and wondered would he ever do a squarepusher megamix .... it never emerged but someone with the skills should defo do some sort of decade-spanning squarepusher supermix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup Just what I was thinking Who wants to host this bitch GAD I would love to see who recognizes what is on that track! |
||||||||
|

Good stuff. Only one point near the end that doesn't work too well, but the vast majority of it is rocking. |
||||||||
|

x0hx, with the switching "between a bunch of radio stations" sounds like Akufen?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Who? *runs over to discogs.com* Hmm... ok he's on Warp Mart Mix 01 Be nice if I actually had that one or any of Warp's stuff on bought media |
||||||||

||||||||
|

thanks! haven't heard this in a while |
||||||||
|

i emailed him about meeting up and getting all his mixes in proper 128kbit or 192kbit format. never transpired. now download(ed) at 1.8MBps :D:D thanks for the headsup elusive, i'd never have checked back the site! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OHMYGOD the transition between the first two tracks is ASTOUNDING (i'd never bothered with the shit quality copies) christ. this is sounding very promising :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know he did a lovely job :) |
||||||||
|

It's good to have it in 192 finally. It's an excellent best of Drukqs mix. Thinktoy is da man. |
||||||||
|

he fucking is. i can't believe he's irish. and djing on SPIN fm of all places.. oh well i suppose it's better than his handiwork not being available to our ears at all. pity it's on late on a sunday and i have college at 9 on mondays. amazing, amazing mix. ordered his mp3 cd of mixes, can't wait to get my grubby mits on it |
||||||||

this has been verified as 100% "the shit"!!! |
||||||||
|
|

"all slowed down and kool ehhee" and sped up in parts too! this is quite awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is fucking awesome! |
||||||||

Haven't listened it all yet but so far my impression: It's just a mix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

IMO: Boring. No wonder why you people liked the warpvision mix cd. aesthetics: I'm sure you could come up with something better, druqks based (I have your revolt mix). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how many times did you listen to it? i love how people are so quick to give a critique of something they havent even listened to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Speaking of this... there's something called "Druqks hard traxx" or "Hard tracks remaster" which seems to be the fast drukqs tracks remastered and enhanced. The same guy who did the Melodies on Mars remastering. Is it good? I can't seem to find it on soulseek :( |
||||||||

I listened it once. BOOOOORING. Deleted the file. re-downloaded because of your comment. Listened 100 times. Still just a Mix anyone could do with traktor. I love how this concept of grower music has become a mantra in the nerd music lovers community. -OH GOD I HATE THIS -Listen it again and again until you like it -ok. week later... -I Still hate it but i have it non stop on my stereo. -You'll get it. year later... -OMG you were right this is good. All the time I wasted listening to something I didn't like was totally worth it. Now I can stop listening this and find something new. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds about right, if you dont like it you dont like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep. btw the re-dowloaded part was a lie. is that still right? aaa i'm going to hell |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never knew you listened to it... or do I know you from slsk? I listened to it a few times..even a few years ago, the mix is just "ok" nothing more imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you posted it here. I dl'ed. Didn't comment. : ) |
||||||||

I´ll forgive you |

"I love how this concept of grower music has become a mantra in the nerd music lovers community. " You've just described the relations fans have with Venetian Snares ;) (I am guilty of that). It's more of a love/hate relationship we have with the artists and their music |

I don't hear mixes like this very often, especially not on albums that I love as much as drukqs. Personally I thought it was neat hearing the songs morph into one another at altered tempos, but if it's something you hear often I guess it would probably get stale. Sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as some of us did. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's ok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

whats wrong with repeat listens? it usually takes me a few listens for anything not just nerd community music or whatever that is, for the music to grow on me, plus i like listening to stuff more than just a couple of times, i think this mix warrents many listens since it is drukqs, an album that i am very familar with, but sounds alien to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is nothing wrong with that, after 2 listens this mix gets boring imo...maybe that is because I know Drukqs all the way I gave it another try because it is a 192kbit version, otherwise I wouldn´t be bothered |
