Uden lo

Another week gone by. And another weekend is here with all its temptations. Don't know what I'll do tonight, maybe just cook with some friends and drink a bit of wine. Tomorrow is a whole 'nother story though, as you probably know by now.

Robert Hood - Razr
[Music man, 2005]
Electro from legendary detroit techno minimalist Hood (aka missing channel, the vision, etc). Been getting tired of the whole german tech-house business lately. More pure detroit techno and electro, no gimmicks. This is off the brilliant "Hoodmusic 1", will most likely post a heavy techno track from it tomorrow.


M83 vs Aphex Twin vs Khia - Pussylicker
[?]
Mash-up time. Big names, pussy in the title, what else can a guy want? Seriously though this is pretty good, in that typical mash-up sense.

(Too lazy to look up where and when this is from)


Why tired of "tech-house" (and its variations/cousins whatever) you might wonder. It's simple and has been bothering me for a while now. It's the new hiphop (or indiepop) or something, EVERYBODY listens to it, and it (atleast feels) so popular that many productions are/gets formulaic in nature and very uninteresting, thus watering down the genre(s) with crap. People don't care, they just want electronic-house-techno-electro-whatever-lol-dance-
hip-dj-plays-it. Am I way off and just being grumpy?

Would love to hear the M83/AT mash. That link is causing IE to crash every time. Can you reload using mediafire or something else, please? Mucho thanks :)
