Techy Monday

Hey everyone, hope you had a nice weekend.

I didn't do much, saw Michel Cleis on Friday but the club and the people were such shit I had to leave earlier than I wanted. I could totally go on a huge rant about all that but I'll refrain, for your sake.

This is a picture of an enormous disco ball being suspended over the French Senate in the Jardin Luxembourg. Crazy shit I randomly found while attempting to rollerblade.

I'm looking forward to hearing Obama's plan for Afghan reinforcements tomorrow, it will signal a big shift in the war and the current White House foreign policy. Could be brilliant, could be more of the same. We'll see.

Here's a little selection from what I've dug up around the interwebs, some tech-house, minimal, etc, as usual the good stuff:

Something is Raw - STL a nice track from Fabric 42, grab the whole thing its great.

Lord Only Knows - Lump 'I don't undastand ya baby...I was born in Alabama'

Truly - Floating Points an almost broken beat with a partially soothing melody

For Those Who Like to Get Down - Marques Wyatt 'I have written a song specifically for...'

Sundaze Strings - Andry Nalin from the Zurich Session collection, a prime example of deep/tech-house

Marrakech (Noir v Martinez edit) - Hermanez heard this one in several mixes, got a subtle mid thats pretty nice; from Dark Stars 3

Enjoy and have a good week!

Ack! Its been a while since we've updated, so my lunch break today will be devoted to providing music just for you.

By the way, anyone else really disappointed with the nominations for EU President and Foreign Minister? Seriously. You're droppin the ball on a great opportunity, EU. Kinda like the U.S. after the Cold War, at the battle of Tora Bora, or not going for Berlin.

Im in love with Magda

YO YO YO YO!

I guess this should have come yesterday with my other post, but I dont care, Magda deserves more than one mention. After listening to Fabric 49 approximately 8 times in the last 24 hours. So I decided to go out and look for some more of her mixes.

Fact and Fiction is one of the first mixes released by her. The impact of this album was huge, cause its what got her into noticed by Richie Hawtin.

Also I would like to give you a great compilation by Sebo K called Watergate 04. Like Fabric, Watergate also releases mixes and compilations.

Check out the tracklist:
01 dOP - Intro
02 Rick Wade - Night Station
03 Koljah & Oliver Deutschmann - Eaten Back To Life
04 Mood II Swing - Move Me
05 dOP - Cold World
06 Session Victim - Contribute
07 Daze Maxim - Strange Things / Patrice Scott - Excursions
08 Blagger - Strange Behaviour
09 Agnes - Who Cares
10 Martyn - Elden St
11 RNDM - Wakefield
12 Je Davu - Music Got You Movin
13 Guillaume & The Coutu Du Monts - The Pussy Sheppard
14 Sid Le Rock - Naked (DJ Koze Remix)
15 Nina Kraviz - Voice

Hope you enjoy!

Magda, wikipedia says you are a municipality in Brazil!

When I first read the name Magdalena Chojnacka, I thought of a polish immigrant (like Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose{weirdly enough both also have national handball players as mothers}) who went to Germany for better opportunities. Apparently this was an extremely stereotypical view of her. Sorry Magda. Born in Poland, but living most of her life away (in Detroit and Berlin), it seems she got the best of both continents, getting herself into Richie Hawtin's label Minus. Now this girl is everywhere, doing the essential mix (with Dubfire, Richie Hawtin and Loco Dice) and doing a mix for Fabric (# 49).

Fabric 49 is an incredible mix. I strongly recommend downloading it. Check out the tracklist:

01. Goblin – Al Margini Della Follia / Bostro Pesopeo – Falls (Hercules & Love Affair Remix) / Marc Houle – Voices
02. Circlesquare - Non-Revival Alarm / Gaiser – mfnstmp
03. Magda - At The Gate / Artem Folevski - Empörung (Original Mix) / Groupshow – It’s Not Just Country Birds That Are Attracted (To The Blue Glass Bird Bath)
04. Cristian Vogel - Mungo / Magda - Draculan Love Attack
05. Goblin - Buio Omega (Alternate) / Magda - Moroder's Revenge
06. Catorze – Luscofusco / Marc Houle - Deep Sea / Heartthrob - Miss Pig
07. Robert Babicz – Chordy / Madato - The Night's Rumors
08. Click Box - Bad Fish (Magda Edit) / Boosty – Telescope
09. Artem Folevski - Guido / Isomer Transition - San Pellegrino
10. Hobo - 23:59 / Luciano – Saulitude
11. Marc Houle – Profounding / Yello – Heavy Whispers
12. Heartthrob – 101 Loop / Farben – Aufschlag/Abschlag
13. Hobo - Mobius Trip / Rafael Droors – Blue
14. Bruno Pronsato - We Were... / Arsenal – The Coming (Idjut Boys Version 2)
15. Jimmy Edgar - Beat Squared / Jan Jelinek - Tierbeobachtungen (Live Played By Anne Westphalen & Peter Ley)

The essential mix was also a very good one. Im a huge fan of Loco Dice and Richie Hawtin and now Im obsessed with Magda, so they did not disappoint.
Essential Mix

The Detroit minimal scene is crazy, and this is why i decided to check up on some of its originators. Im heard some of Kevin Saunderson's music, but I did not know anything else from the other Belleville three. This is why i decided to investigate Juan Atkins (aka Model 500/Cybotron/infiniti). I found a mixed Cd called Metroplex 1985-2005. This included old school techno beats that are quite entertaining.

Stay connected cause there is more to come. Next up Derrick May and Watergate 04.
