I prefer JunoDownload now but I dip into Beatport occasionally. They each have their pros and cons. The way Juno handles downloads is so hot, they create a zip of your shopping cart with nice file naming and structure.

What's their re-download policy like? That's the one thing I hate about BP. You only have 24 hours to re-download a song and after thar you need to buy it again. Makes no sense.

My HDD once died, and I lost around 10 gig of Beatport tracks, one email to them and I could re-download everything I had bought.

For real?! Thank god! The only mention in their FAQ is you have 24 hours to redownload a track. I'll shoot them an email. My sister in law deleted a folder of mine that had about 30 tracks i bought a few weeks ago and I really
Need them. They're stuck on my iPod and that doesn't help me out at all.

Damn I made a thread about experiencing Pantha Du Prince at an electronic festival here in Copenhagen a month or two ago... since then this thread (especially joelseph) has introduced me to soo many new names.

I just stumbled upon the evening's schedule where I saw Pantha Du Prince...

program.

I could have seen Darkstar, Pantha, Four Tet and Mount Kimbie in a row... But only saw Pantha and Four Tet and left after that :,(

Don't think this is gonna happen again in Copenhagen :(

Unlimited AFAIK, after so many days you might have to re verify that it is you but beyond that I think they will let you at them for life.

Rather nice stuff I must say! Check it out if you're interested in downtempo electronica with interesting sounds and impeccable production.

Holy shit the Four Tet remix for The XX's VCR is pretty awesome. He basically does one of his complete rearrangements so it really doesn't sound anything like the original by the end.

Okay, I freaking lost it when I heard this song. It's a remix of that 'Magical Amount' anti-smoking song that was in an ad a couple of years ago.

The looped voice is ridiculous. It's like if a Gremlin invaded a club and dropped some dope beats.

Magical Amount (DJ Sega remix)

I hope Diplo's label signs this guy, he's not bad.

Sounds like a great mix, can't wait to d/l and listen when I get home! GRUM is awesome, got a chance to meet him and talk to him at the Electric Zoo Festival. And that Tensnake track is HOT.

Cool I'll check it out. BTW, the latest Mad Decent podcast mix from Diplo starts out with that cool Girls Talk (or whatever it was called) song. Pretty cool hearing that already in a big time mix.

EDIT: sounds good. I really like that El Guincho song. Started off moody ending up upbeat and tropical sounding. There was a lemonade song "lifted" earlier in the year that may fit in between your switch from dark to light and has a section at the start that can probably loop in the mix somewhere.

Good songs. I don't mind Le Castle Vania, he's alright so far. The Rubber remix is ill by the way, Oizo and half of Justice working together is just incredible, loved that album.

In for the Kill remix is pretty mediocre though. My favorite is the Skream one and followed by Danger's.

The Danger one is refreshing.

Hot Biscuits did a little writeup on Jacques Greene, please to enjoy:

Greene with Envy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIDhX8cpjtI

Montreal churns another prolific producer, this time it’s analog R&B influenced house producer Jacques Greene. The 21 year old mystery producer is set to release 2 releases this fall. The first being on a 12″ split white label vinyl release on Night Slugs with Optimum on the flip, the other will be on LuckyMe. You can preview the LuckyMe release, which doesn’t come out until December, and some various other goodies on his SoundCloud. To hold you over, Jacque sent us over a little analog acid jam he just finished on his 303.

So, I need some help. I have a legit copy of Ableton, but I don't wanna spend 129 for the EIC 2. I really want a good piano, and good strings. What do you guys use for those MIDI instruments? Thanks for the advice!

Can we talk about the epic goldmine that is Clone Records? I've been going through their back catalogue and it is a treasure-trove of goodness. It is easily one of the most diverse labels out there, but it works so well on so many levels!

I'm kind of dumb when it comes to music. I don't know genres or anything really, but I do know what I like. This especially when it comes to music that is electronic anything. When people ask me what I listen to, I never know what to tell them and kind of just look at them with a stupid face.

So my usual stuff I listen to is things like Daft Punk/Justice/MSTKRFT, and also love music like Air France—I realize these are far from being like each other. But, I've been venturing out and came across Danger and The Bloody Beetroots.

Totally digging Danger. Can't wait for his full album.

Any recommendations for me? I guess all I can say is I like voice-samples, higher pitched tones, and I guess catchy or what some people might find cheesy.

I've actually been pretty devastated with the form of Jacques Lu Cont/Stuart Price/Thin White Duke/Paper Faces/Les Rhythmes Digitales over the last few years. He knocked out some out-of-this-world shit mid-late 2000s, but then started working with Madonna and went downhill from there. Such a shame.

Some choice cuts:

Felix Da Housecat - Silver Screen Shower Scene (Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Mix)
Felix Da Housecat - Ready 2 Wear (Paper Faces Mix)
Fischerspooner - Just Let Go (Thin White Duke Remix)
Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? (Thin White Duke Mix)
Juliet - Avalon (Jacques Lu Cont Versus Remix)
Mirwais - Miss You (Thin White Duke Mix)
Placebo - Pure Morning (Les Rythmes Digitales Remix)
Royksöpp - What Else Is There (Jacques Lu Cont Radio Mix)
Starsailor - Four To The Floor (Thin White Duke Mix)
The Faint - The Conductor (Thin White Duke Remix)

(Bolded the truly epic, though the others are nice, too. He did a bunch of similar remixes of Mr. Brightside and What Else Is There, but they were too samey, generic and poppy for me to consider them great tracks)

Holy shit, I already have a soft spot for the original of this song– mainly because of Karin Deijer. Did this appear on any particular album or comp?

another DJ in town just msged me and said," I love your mix man, do you mind if I play it at the club tonight?" :lol :lol :lol :lol

I wrote back " I appreciate the gesture but I'd rather people see *me* when they hear my music. I'm trying to earn a living." Fair?

Um, just the single I think. Keep in mind, I was referring to the JLC *Radio* mix, not the other Thin White Duke ones (which is very similar to Mr. Brightside). Hard to believe it's the same person remixing those tracks, isn't it?

It's really surprising how many other people prefer the other versions to the above one... it's just so perfectly produced and easy to listen to. I often find with Royksopp that some of their tracks can be a little... uncomfortable(?) to listen to. This version though, it sounds like it's an original track (as opposed to a remix) and it just floats perfectly. Not really made for playing anywhere but your loungeroom, iPod or car.

In case you got mixed up, here's the one I'm talking about:

Listened to this at the gym... wasn't a big fan of the first 3 tracks, since I'm not big on the glitchy electro house stuff anymore... but from "I Wish It Could Last" to "Reckless With Your Love", it was nonstop awesome. I think I rewound the part with History (Grum mix) on it like 10 times. Very warm, inviting and funky mix you got here.

Only real criticism I could give is that the flow of it seemed a bit weird... like the mix didn't have any kind of "narrative"... just a bunch of awesome songs mixed well, but the mix didn't build upon itself. I dunno if you know what I mean by this, it's kinda hard to describe..

Just finished it. Awesome. What's the best way to keep up with this music? Blogs? I've already started to follow a few that joelseph posted a bit ago, but still, I never heard It's Love and that track is sick.

Two different styles, it would be rare to find the type of music in TB's mix on the sites I listed and vise-versa.

A good way to build up a list for find TB style music would be to take his tracklist and search hypeem and google for the tracks. Make note of every blog that mentions them and start reading from there.
