DJ Scotch Egg- crap/not crap?

[ManchesterBeth]

Don't want to turn this into an oldskool thread but this is the best piano hardcore tune imho. Like steel.

Spoiler: Sound Corp - Security Overload

 

[friedaweed]

You wanna defend happy hardcore then? C'mon bunfight.

Hehe no mate. I'm a folkie You can keep it all

Fackin liberal.

Yes, i saw that, commented on the facebook link.

TBF there's two, yes, only two good records in that feature.

First one is this



Second one is this


Neither of which are really Happy Hardcore.

you missed 'above the clouds', which is a stone cold classic.

Don't like it. Like that oft-talked about tech-house (?) classic, positive education, it does nothing for me. Well PE was a terrace ripoff...

Luke Slater's Morganistic remixes of positive education were fucking ace though esp the first one. dat bass is so warm over a good system.

I often see criticism of positive education being derivative - baffles me really, considering how all techno basically sounds the same.

For me it's that ostinato bass riff cribbed straight from Terrace's remix of Ron Trent and layered over an uninspired led melody. Not so much about being derivative but just boring.

Gonna lay down some Peatbog Faeries for my next track...



Proper Scotch Egg eating and dancing stuff

that does seem to be the standard view of the greater spotted techno purist. I think the 'hates positive education' badge is the first one you need to earn when you're starting out isn't it?

I spoke to someone who hated Hardfloor's remix of Circus Bells at a techno night once.

I mean sure it inspired many rip-offs but that funky intro leading to the tweaked acid mayhem just sounds so good.

Tho spasms remix of invasion will always be the best track on that double pack.

 

[ManchesterBeth]

I couldn't contain my horror when someone from university shared Jamie Jones' remix of Cajmere's percolator the other day. First time I'd heard it as well.

I agree with that person. I always saw CB as one of Armani's weaker tracks & then it got watered down even more.

But it's fun!

All about Crowd Control on the flip

 

[sim667]

one thing though, live Is it really anything to do with those gameboys?

I think really in each game boys is a different cartridge with a different set of midi mapping, he normally has a stash of about 8 or 9 game boys under the bench and changes them as the sets progress. The midi maps then go into ableton, I think the use of 16bit sounds is more for effect than actually being produced by the game boys but I might be wrong.

He's also got some other bits and pieces, the frying ban on a hob is one of my faves.

There's a few people doing stuff like this, there was a guy on the last BANGFACE boat party who played jungle with a joystick I think his name was 0=0 if I remember right.

0=0 is a legend, although his album has been supposedly coming out on Planet Mu for a decade or so now...

It's NEVER time for the percolator.
