NotThePars Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I know there's a thread for Dance Songs but electronic music is a place where much of it excels when it's part of a broader mix of tunes. What are the mixes that P&Bers are playing on rotation? What's the best new mixes people are enjoying or what are their all time classics? I was surprised to hear Brooklyn and Warp's own experimental weird electronic music producer Oneohtrix Point Never had been tapped up at the weekend to do an Essential Mix. A lot more dancefloor heavy stuff than I expected to hear going by his own increasingly poppy material. Eclectic and good fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Been a while since I listened to or downloaded a new Essential Mix, and should really do a clear out of stuff on my iPod that goes back a long time and fill the space with newer material. Realising the Greenpeace and Yoda mix is a few months from being old enough to start drinking was a 'Holy shit I'm old!' surprise, I'll tell you that for nowt. Have spent the last few months cycling through the disco-influenced late 90's EM's, from Daft Punk, Dope Smugglaz, Basement Jaxx and Layo and Bushwhaka! and they're all going to resurface again soon.

hearthammer Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hope this counts as an early mix equivalent of the current day plagiarising "sampling" that goes on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Bryan Kearney has been putting out some class stuff on Youtube over the last 12 months. Tears in my eyes from the Daniel Kandi remix of On A Good Day till the end. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a chance to see him in Dundee a few years back but was unfortunately indisposed because of exam season. I don't think him, or the venue Fat Sams, are still going. RIP to two underdog criminal ventures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) The Fabric and Fabriclive mixes were always a bit hit and miss. Off the top of my head the James Murphy. Ellen Allien, Ricardo Villalobos and John Peel's were very good. This was an absolute beauty from Sandwell District.

I walked past him once on Camden Lock with a stunning looking young lady who I later found out was Heather Graham of Boogie Nights fame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met Gene October out of Chelsea in The Lock Tavern, that's the best I can do.

Gene October was stomping around taps aff, with combat trousers and army boots. The following afternoon I was having a pint in the Phoenix when October sauntered in looking quite dapper and very unpunk with an Armani shirt tucked into black trousers and a pair of dress shoes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price some of these things go for now on ebay is mental. Saddened to see that all the stalls that sold them down that dark tunnel were gone the last time I was there. All in all, Camden was not the exciting, vibrant place that I had remembered. Still the guy on the bridge softly whispering "weed, cocaine, ecstacy" to everyone that went past was still going strong so it's not all bad, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a bit down on his luck and doing deliveries and general dogs body work for a record company in return for studio time. Great band though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I can't move for mix cds in my house but they appear to be on their last legs. DJ Kicks is still hanging on in there thankfully, the latest from Special Request (Paul Woolford) is erm a bit special. Out of the Boiler Rooms this is probably my favourite; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's it like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's it like? Starts with some Disco and moves through House, Techno and into Jungle with some ambient and synthy soul stuff thrown in. I've got his mixes for Renaissance and NRK, both are tremendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundboy Killer is still a classic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
