point being like, how much punk music would stand up without being a moron?

jasus , that hurt...but then again I don't like punk, more of Weller man myself but oh wait

gold teeth thief is rubbish. i hate when producers put pointless ragga samples into breakcore tracks. if you're not from jamaica or wherever, what is the point of putting a sample of some dude shouting over the top of your otherwise-perfectly-serviceable track? i nearly sent it back to warpmart, seriously. there's about two decent tracks on it.

fair enough, but i should point out he was playing dancehall tracks over other tunes, not sampling them exactly.

Any of you monkeys heard gimix by the avalanches? now that's some goodness, as is their cornerstone mix.

Well it's applicable to weller aswell, it's called "having different tastes from other people". It's usually a good thing.

agreed, best mix cd ive heard.

Second best for me, after the Coldcut one. And since Blechsdottir was mixed by DJ Food (I think), there's even a connection...

i like the v2 soulwax one too.

It always came off a bit too irony-laden for my tastes, but it's reasonably good mindless fun.

Yeah, sure techno isn't even real music. It's all just made using software, how can it be real music if it isn't made using guitars?

I only asked a question so there was no need for the flame...

Raiding The 20th century by DJ Food is one of my favourite mixes of recent times(mainly due to my nerdy obsession with cut 'n' paste records). It's pretty easy to find on the internerd. www.djfood.org is a good place to start.

I think /rupture kind of does that. Yeah, he can chop, cut and slice with the best of 'em, but anyone who drops an utterly irredeemable track like Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly" into a set is automatically suspect in my book. Throwing in a mad, fucked-up sample just to show that you can counts for very little.

oh, i adore roberta flack, and that song. curse the fugees for mutilating it though.

I think he showed this failing rather obviously on his Special Gunpowder album of last year, which I think is pretty awful. The production, as you'd expect, is fine, but the songs ain't any damn good. I never thought I'd ever say that he was boring, but after listening to that album, I've come to really question his musical judgement.

yeah, i didn't like that album at all. listened to it once and not since. very bland and boring.

Nothing he's ever done DJ-wise has approached someone like Coldcut at their best. Play Minesweeper Suite and 70 Minutes of Madness (still the best DJ mix CD I've ever heard) back-to-back and judge for yourself.

i have and love that Coldcut mix album. in fact, i just love Coldcut. they did a track called "hey kids what time is it" which is wonderful, as is "beats and pieces" but i digress. personally i far prefer minesweeper to 70 minutes, they are both superb, but /r's one does it much more for me.

surgeon is amazing also.

It is quite possible to appreciate techno whilst not off your box on yokes.

I do miss that special sound you hear on yokes though, can't even remember what it sounds like now.

 

[snakybus]

What my do?

just a bit business-speaky is all, like "learning curve"

That's the sound of your teeth grinding.

idea for a dj show: mike up a frying pan, get a couple of goons to dress up in clown outfits to pound baseball bats against the floor while wicked eye jim (the famous scratch dude who i just made up) scratches his records using all manner of hardware tools....!ninjaaaa

I'd imagine it's been done.

I need time, dates, venue and a good lawyer in that case

Word to that sister. I appreciate everything better when I'm not mashed out of my face like a slobbering lunatic that just thinks everything and everyone is deadly.

"ecstacy" with repeated use does turn people into zombies with zero critical faculties. everything sounds brilliant, from paul okenfold to a dog pissing on an electric fence.

Isn't that just a warlords of pez show?
