    Matias Aguayo

    I really like his 'Radiotaxi' pitched down on the Prins Thomas CD, looks like I need his album.

    Dancing in the service of thought

    I do think people in UK and Europe have insanely low standards for dancing, but of course not everybody, not everywhere blah blah. The worst UK attitude, I would say, is mainly influenced by drug culture and equates getting lost in the music with trashing around, and good dancing with restraint...

    Efdemin.

    Efdemin's interview on Resident Advisor is good too. I'm liking My My's Fast Freeze as an example of lush German whatever house

    epic crescendoes and comedowns

    How about Popol Vuh's 'Vuh'. The part where the metal clanking crescendo comes in is just one of the heaviest things I've heard, and the whole track is an icily show build. On a pop tip maybe Kleepup ft. Robyn - With Every Hearbeat.

    Mouse on Mars + Mark E Smith

    Yeah it's good and very fun, and way ahead of the real group such as they are. I think it lacks the certain x that made the Fall what they were (when they were good). I though with the Unutterable, as flawed as it is, it showed a potential way they could progress using electronics. This could...

    Mouse on Mars + Mark E Smith

    The Fall album 'The Unutterable' from 2000 has a few electronic tracks, which are a bit amateurish I suppose, but in some ways I prefer them to most of Von Südenfed. MoM seem a bit unstretched in turning out The Fall mk.14 as electro-rock. The range of things he can do with his voice just seems...

    Stephan Bodzin - "Liebe Ist"

    Cheers I'll check em out Do you not think the clicky elements are more superfluous to the groove than in a housier minimal production say? For me, that's just a function of it being trancey, not necessarily a weakness. I'm not sure whether I like the overall textural effect over the course of...

    Stephan Bodzin - "Liebe Ist"

    I not so sure yet, I certainly like his singles as singles. I agree there is a sense of mutating dynamics here - but in some of this nu-trancey stuff, I start to find the actual minimal elements of the sound quite frustrating. Like clicky drums aren't actually all that fun when they are more...

    Minimal house anthems

    But with a Maurizio remix!

    proto dubstep

    Here is the Teja single. Stunning. Really gourgeous textures here. The A-side reminds me of things like 'Mr No' and 'Burning Car' by John Foxx or 'Kalte Kriecht' by Grauzone

    Arctic Monkeys Explosion.

    Oh yeah I can't think of a band with so much support - the early gigs in village WMCs in Barnsley are myths already. I don't blame them as much as the entire indie teencult, which I think is snobbish and encourages victimhood.

    herbert - what do you reckon?

    Roisin Murphy - Sow Into You Anyone else like his production job from 2005, 'Ruby Blue'? It's a pretty solid album IMO.

    Arctic Monkeys Explosion.

    Their accents are a bit wierd, and like you say more like an impression of an 80 year old than how young people (with strong accents) speak. The whole provincial indie youth cult is based on victim status and I think these types' indentities depend on imagining they belong to a fictionalised...
