Techno

A very nice (and long : ) set by Mira from the Artweek in Mexico last month -

No, I lied, I was thinking of Nicole, not Nina

CdW has quickly become very commercial. Her KNTXT label releases are worth checking out though, she has a few good artists, very similar which makes it very easy to mix.

Does this belong in this thread? I've been listening to a lot of non 4/4 stuff I file under Techno.

I used to stay with Caro and her then partner in Geneva. A real pioneer female techno dj. I’d hear her playing Plaid, Jeff Mills, Prince, karftwerk, Autechre and all sorts of other stuff, seamlessly, perfect mixes riding the pitch control. Even in the electroclash days she never played the dross that was coming out but just because of her work with Michel she got lumped in as an electroclash dj which was really incorrect.

She has great taste. The way she references classic sounds from acid, electro, trance and techno genres is amazing. Her sound design is on point.

I was a bit sad to see the videos getting so commercial though. If she can make a big success of it that would be great but I'm not sure the wider public is ready for the kind of Techno she has been producing.

I have lost touch with her these days but was actually talking to her ex Oli from Mental Groove today as we are meeting up in London this weekend for his Ramjac/Irresistible Force record launch party. https://tailored-communication.com/events/the-irresistible-force-vs-ramjac-corporation-live-at-the-brain-1990-album-release-party

Her taste used to be equisite and she forced things like early BOC stuff into my record bag when she worked in the Mental Groove shop. Her ability to go from juddering techno to ambient and back to breakbeat while keeping pressure on a dance floor was amazing. One time after playing at the ultraschalle in Munich with her I remember clubbers looking for anything for her to autograph including torn up fag packets. She always had star quality and a sense of musical panache.

I thought I was losing it a bit when I first heard Pressure and Selected. I have a few now!

An absolutely thumping acidy set here

I realised after listening to the first one, my mixes are nowhere near this full on. I'm guessing some compression is involved!

Good to see so much Elektron kit involved though.

which was surely posted by someone else on here.

I dont suppose anyone's got some spare tickets (2) to Printworks on 8th April (Joris Voorn) or 9th April (Charlotte de Witte)? #businesstechno

Or if anyone knows some good events that weekend, looking for something along the lines of the Fatima Hajji set above.

I'm asking for a refund on my Junction2 tickets since they've suddenly changed the dates and venue. #csb

I would even grab them if I werent away that weekend. That Sunday lineup is right down my alley.

Yeah, annoying to wait like 3 years and then have it moved.
If anyone on here wants 4 Sunday tickets before I get the refund sorted let me know.
