Unreleased track straight from the vault. Detroit/Berlin hypnotic dub-influenced techno.

Hope you enjoy the sound!

In October we have two gigs on the same night that sound great. We have Moodymann & Carl Craig doing a b2b and on the other side of the city we have Jayda G. I love moodymann but I’ve seen him twice, both times he was the opener and played daytime music. He was playing Fleetwood Mac and Human League. He is obviously allowed to play what he wants, he’s a legend, but I would prefer something more like his own music. Meanwhile I’ve seen Jayda twice and she always delivers a beautiful set with House energy. I think writing this I can feel I know the answer for me.

But I’m curious to know what you guys would choose?

I’m learning to DJ and want to set a goal to aim for! I have a pretty good ear so I naturally understand phrasing and give my sets a journey/narrative element. But do people have anything deeper non-obvious ideas of what truly makes a set musically exceptional? Of course I understand much of it is about context (ie popular vs artsy), but I’m wondering if we can generalise over that.

For context I’m into deep techno: think Kia (obsessed), Animalia label, etc.

Edit: feel free to post your fav sets as examples!

Just wondering what ways people prepare. Ik it’s quite common just to go off the dome but I know people also prefer to prepare and stuff

How do you guys feel about the short-lived City Hunter? I see a lot of accusations of "gimmick band" that get thrown around, but I'm always down for a good gimmick if Mark McCoy / YA are handling the art direction.

I think the heavy / evil sound of the record really dovetails nicely with the lyrical content, and even though "mysterious guy" hardcore can get tired, these guys pulled it off.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that over the past year, the prices on Bandcamp for digital releases have skyrocketed? For example, Sa Pa is selling their latest EPs for £10, and the EP only has four tracks. Vril recently released a single track that costs €2.50 for less than 5 minutes of music. There are plenty of other examples. You used to be able to buy a full LP for £10.

Has inflation hit here too?

one of the greatest albums of this bygone era
