Fri, 30 May 2008 07:20:15 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Innervisions - IV 16 There’s one obvious choice for you. The Laurent Garnier record has already received enough buzz without me adding to it. However, I have decided to ignore this fact and talk about it anyway. Sue me. So the story is that Dixon was playing with Laurent Garnier at Panorama ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/05/30/laurent-garnier-back-to-my-roots-ep/ Sonar Kollektiv - SK170CD This little gem is something for you to start your weekend with - a perfectly orchestrated version of the nu-trance anthem that whisked Âme and the Innervisions gang up into hype heaven. Pizzicato strings take over the melody that all the office geeks with bags under their ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/05/23/sonar-kollektiv-orchester-%e2%80%93-rej-from-guaranteed-niceness-cd/ It’s been quite slow lately music-wise, or maybe that’s just me (probably…). Some of the tunes that have caught my ear have been the DJ Bone “No Sleep” record (featured in Little White Earbuds) or the Nick Holder “Time” remixes (I’m thinking Manuel Tur rather than Wahoo). But as long as ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/05/11/...-the-past-isnt-through-with-us/ Desolat - DESOLATCD001 While you have been biting your nails waiting for the next post, I have been enjoying myself in the darker parts of London. Saturday saw me visiting Mulletover, an underground party that feeds the hype by keeping its locations secret and publishing it through viral channels only a ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/04/29/loco-dice-7-dunham-place/ There’s a party coming up near our end of the civilization. It’s named Lustwaffe, which is sort of clever flirting with inappropriate, depending on your sense of humour and knowledge on war history. It’s going to be featuring your humble hosts as well as a veteran DJ from the Land ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/04/09/go-lustwaffe/ Klang Elektronik - KLANG 132 It took me a while to settle into this epic overflowing madness. Everything's shrinking to minimal these days, so it's hard for a modern house music consumer not to be blown away by such large storm of sound. Even Carl Craig has recently shown more of ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/04/03/alter-ego-gary/ Versatile - VER 058 So, mr Ligny, we meet again! Fabrice Lig is the first and most probably the last artist I've ever sent fanmail to. His debut LP called "Walking On a Little Cloud" (under Soul Designer alias, 2002) was, and still is, very much my taste in deep techno - ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/03/20/fabrice-lig-purple-raw-pt-1/ Planet E - PE 65296 It must be pretty easy for a well-known producer to get some publicity for his new tracks. Then again the downside is the lack of forgiveness shown when the production doesn’t deliver as expected. He gets labeled as being old or selling out or doing it ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/03/19/martin-buttrich-stoned-autopilot/ I'll be snowboarding in Livigno, Italy the whole next week, so probably no reviews to come till I'm back. I'll leave you with a nice Dixon interview from his visit to Australia in In The Mix. I haven’t heard any good new DJs in the last few years. How come, though? Where ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/03/08/be-right-back.-dixon-interview./ I stumbled upon an Efdemin interview in Resident Advisor (published in summer 2007). His productions had managed to escape me for quite a while, however once they finally kicked in, it was for good. And it’s funny how his music kind of clicked with everything that I read in this ... http://blog.fijiama.net/2008/03/04/efdemin-interview-in-resident-advisor/
