Well, I am sorry to add to your disappointment, but yeah, it actually was epic.

But there are some very interesting concerts in Montreal in the next weeks, no worries :)

Disclosure's album is definitely solid, but I found myself getting bored by the end. Doesn't diminish the overall impact of the album for me, as its just good fun, but it's a classic tale of people overlooking the bad and blowing it up. Once the high dies down, the backlash will be severe. It's the same for any album like this, and it's a shame because it diminishes the overall value of the work. It's a solid 7/10 for me, I'll be bumping "white noise" and "f for you" for months to come (and "latch", I adore that song, fuck the haters,) but its mostly just silly fun pop jams. Nothing wrong with that at all, it's just not going to be an album ill be returning to, personally.

That said, I have a ton of respect for the kids. They have ridden this wave to stardom quite well and have kept their vision firmly in place the entire time.

The P4K review is a classic P4K review. This time next year they'll be tearing the guys apart. P4K's BNM is the cocaine of new releases, it's good for a quick high but the crash is harsh.

In the 10 years I've known Pitchfork, it's the biggest complaint about them. They're known to over hype albums and then later talk down on them. 'Settle' might end up being an exception, but we'll just have to wait and see. Their review doesn't affect anyone here, clearly, I'm just saying. I don't hold any one music review outlet above another, because I, personally, only take reviews at face value and then make my own judgements. I've learned my lesson from taking reviewer's words to heart.

Man, the debauchery, the lights, the music that must've filled that place over it's lifetime, holy shit. If they invent time machines, that's where/when I'm headed, first stop.

The strange thing is with some of those venues, is you see inside when they're kind of empty and somewhat lit up, they rarely look all that special. But you add the music and the energy of the people, the actual room itself becomes irrelevant.

Man, I wish clubbing was like that these days, when there was such a clear disconnect between one's clubbing life and their day job... this secret society with a wink, a handshake, a knowing, wry smile and subtle nod.

Fuck, I need to find a good underground/house party to go to.


PS. There's a guy in the comments asking about a track at 5:30... Shazam tells me it's this. I think it's spot on :D (ugh, there must be hundreds of these fucking tracks from back then that just sound brand new. Maxxi Soundsystem's obvious inspiration, this stuff)

PPS. Oh man, of course on the side there's a link to Your Love by Jamie Principle. Fuck, just hook it up to my veins right now.

Have you been to C-Grade before? It's at least underground in a literal sense :p

I've not even heard of it... I don't think. Whereabouts is it?

The only place I can think of that might come close to a place like Paradise Garage is Poof Doof at The Bottom End. One of the guys who plays there (Gavin Campbell) is a little over 50 and has been playing literally his whole life, never needed a "proper" job. He was also a part of "Filthy Luchre", who did the main remix of Treaty by Yothu Yindi.

Haven't been to Bottom End/Poof Doof yet, but everything I've heard about it makes it sound *awesome*.

I haven't listened to it, but would it almost fall into a similar vein as, say, Little Boots (but with less vocals)? Because that's how you've somewhat painted it, I think. A pop album with a few clubby-ish tracks, as opposed to a clubby album with a few pop-ish tracks.

PS. Today, I learned that "P4K" is the acronym for Pitchfork. There you go.

C Grade is excellent Shaneus, it's under the Mercat Pub near the Vic Market. They don't advertise as much as Animals dancing (the same place), since Animals Dancing I've found is where they book a lot of international acts (prosumer etc).

Yeah this.

Was up in Melbourne last week and went with a couple of mates. Super fun. Dingy little place with a smoke machine and lasers, everyone was on pills (always at least seven blokes waiting on the cubical), solid vinyl b2b techno and deep house sets from Tornado Wallace (who played the Melbourne Boiler Room) and Otologic. Weren't there for long enough (had an exam Tuesday) but apparently they play classic disco for the early morning crowd.

Also been told that Poof Doof is great too. Heard that they had to ban people taking their shirts off after the first one haha.

I'd say it's more a dance album that has a enough hooks - and short enough songs - for the mainstream crowd.

This is good news. I can honestly say I'd never heard of them. Do they get many "big name" acts in? Because I normally only hit up the places that do by way of habit (and being in Geelong, need more of a defined reason to make the trip). But if it's awesome enough to go regardless, I might have to make that journey anyway. And make sure someone else drives ;)

Just had a listen to some of TW's stuff... very much the sort of stuff I'd love to hear in a slightly ghetto (but not to Revolver levels) venue.

Haha, fuck yes. I think I REALLY want to go there. Ever since I *really* got into the club scene (very early 20's) I wanted to go to a gay club because I'd heard there was insanely awesome house music. So stoked there's finally one on the radar that sounds like it's worth going to.

It's all local stuff really but that's part of the vibe. I get the impression that it's the local scene's night. Although one of the friends I went with was saying both TW and Otologic are fairly known internationally as party DJs. Think TW had just come back from Europe.

Check out his Coober Pedy University Band (amazing name) side project as well.

But yeah they used to have a standard club upstairs but they got closed down because of noise complaints so everything's in the basement now. You walk down a flight of stairs, hear the muffled banging tunes, then open the big metal door and you're in. Sandstone walls, rusty toilets, crappy couches. It's got a good vibe.

Noncollective - Non No. 2

Pretty transcendent listening to this at 4am while getting ready for work. The "chkka chowww" sounds on B1 are killing me.
Click to expand...
I like that... it's a really obscure combination of 70s funk and 80s... whatever 80s was. But not like in-between 70s and 80s, but actually adding 70s plus 80s together, which is weird. But I dig it.

B1 is really nice, too. And to be honest, it's probably the sort of thing I was kind of expecting from Daft Punk's album. Something that's a little more modern but still rooted in that era, rather than being strictly "70s only, that's it" (or near enough).
It's a rollerdisco track ;)

Can you remind me when it's up for sale? I have a feeling I'll forget about it, even though it's only a day off :/

Thanks for the heads-up. Normally wouldn't come across that stuff myself, but it's such a cruisy vibe, I can't help but love it. Only shame is that we're almost a week into winter and I just can't "feel" the track like I would if it was summer here.

Edit: can't believe you got into the scene in your twenties man I already feel old and I'm 22. I guess a few years was wasted on electro house though.

Oh, that was before electro-house. I'm 32 now!

I mean, I was always into club music and such (the amount of people I've astounded with my intricate knowledge of very early 90s club music has blown more than it's fair share of veterans away*), but I wasn't into filthy, grimy clubs (and drugs, let's be honest here) until my early 20s ;)


*How many people do you know who were into Jam and Spoon (1993) before they could legally go clubbing, or wished they were older so they could've seen this and this (both 1994) live? I was fourteen. Sad but true, ahaha

My loling was linked to your funny phrasing, I am not even trying to defend P4K (although I do value their opinion).
I just wanted to know if there was, in your opinion, a review site/outlet that is more trustworthy and do not change its mind like they do :)

To get back on subject, really like the disclosure, although I am really not sure it will still be the case a few days from now... But still, enjoying it while it lasts :)

The new/recent No Artificial Colours/Detroit Swindle EPs are awesome.

Along with the afformented Cryin Wolf I was hyping a few weeks ago, this NAC track is the bomb:

Restless Souls

My current rotation is those two plus Settle and After Dark 2.

Did you see my PM? I heard the original of that Able track and it doesn't even sound like the re-edit did more than some simple resequencing (not even to the point of some EQ tweakage). I'll give it a crack myself (honestly couldn't take that long) sometime this weekend and see what I come up with ;)
