I saw Lenny D, Adam X and Frankie Bones last weekend. (None of whom I'd ever heard of but I'm assured they are somewhat reknowned).
Some of it was pretty awesome. Some left me non-plussed. But I'm not such a big techno fan, eh?

I used to go to their record shop in New York all the time. Sonic Groove. Sound cats. All the Detroit shit was dirt cheap there.

Just up the road from VinylMania as well which was a truly legendary record shop. Both closed now....

Good f**k!
That's my ideal techno line-up.

A lot of the mystique (such as it was) surrounding Frankie Bones has vanished since he started posting on Discogs' forums. Now I just feel sorry for him.

Bit late discovering it, but has anyone come across this DJ Sprinkles album yet..

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/Midtown-120-Blues/342239-01/

Unbelievably good deep house, with a few more ambient tracks on it as well. Definitely in my best of the year so far.

think there was some mention here before of stuff that was a crossover between techno and dubstep if i remember rightly. going off topic a little bit but i picked up this at the weekend http://www.discogs.com/Various-All-Night-Long-EP-2/release/1792335
more like a cross over between dubstep (and dub techno too i guess) and house. thought it was in the wrong section in the shop but indeed it wasnt... well worth a listen.

Heard a few tracks of his(?) on a mix a while ago and was seriously impressed.

Downloaded the compilation those tracks are from a while back. Martyn, along with the Appleblim & Ramadanman collab. were highlights for me. Sticking in that Techno/Dubstep area, this Scuba release is great..

Pretty sure there's a sample of Good Life going on in that first track too.

I know he releases as Terre Thaemlitz as well, but haven't been too impressed with any of that. Really can't recommend the Sprinkles stuff enough though. Good remix of one of the tracks off Midtown 120 Blues by Motor City Drum Ensemble.

On my second listen to Vertical Ascent album now.
Not sure what I make of it yet. The last track is stunning but the rest is a bit 'meh' to my ears so far.

Looking forward to hearing it. Really like the above tune.

I really like the album I must say. Very different to anything I've heard. I love the way it has a very "room" sound rather than the spacious dubbed out sounds you'd associate him with. Like the whole mallet action too. Quite a jazzy vibe off it actually. Not in a jazz chord way, but just the wayward style of it.

 

[theoootini]

i'm quite getting into it. definitely not what i expected though.

 

[daydream_nation]

had a listen when i got home from work last tuesday. fell asleep during pattern 1 and didnt surface til the next morning. is pattern 2 gonna put me into a coma?
will listen properly today. the interview in wire is worth a read too.

Agreed - some very good tracks on it. I'd given up on him after i saw him in the Music Centre a few years back when "Alright on Top" came out - there was a queue at the cloakroom after about three tunes!

Great new Rob Hall mix here
