for the last few weeks ireallylovemusic has been rockin’ to the detroit techno styled groove.
all those lovely 12″ releases from the dust science crew, the hot chip/kraftwerk remixes, and a few richard h kirk albums and other stuff inbetween while predominantly checking out new stuff by micronauts.
however, this week i am working from home and things feel different for the first time in a long age.
normally this means i get the hq to myself thus making it perfectly acceptable to listen to anything i bloody well like, albeit with extra bass and treble.
so why is it after trying out a few uninspiring bits-n-bobs i suddenly felt the urge to revisit my limited collection of hefty records releases.
hence the updating of the current page
so far i have written up three of these releases (well four if you count the recent compilations as 2 seperate cds, especially as the were released as such !), along with realising again just how gorgeous the telefon tel aviv remix set is, i also tried out the barely there but very nice fyris swan by solo andata. which has to be said, when the day started to collapse, the quiet delicate fractured melodies felt perfectly in sync with the games that nature was playing out in the garden and the arrival of new colours.
oh, and if you need to have more of that cut up digital techno funk, then the semeion compilation of unreleased/remixed/digital only tracks by retina.it will be right up your street.
originally the hard going opener, tetsub, distracted me, meaning that the excellence on offer deeper into the 13 tracks of dubby electronic glitch techno went relatively unloved, well that was until today, as everything clicked (pun intended) into place.
if you want to hear some example of the hefty groove, then check the official site, as the label stream a lot of their catalogue for you to experience at your own leisure.
highly recommended.
