This is still one of my favourite tunes, I remeber I first heard it when he played it in the beat hotel, got an amazing reception.

Just posted in the new music bit, but Jamie xx has got a new tune idontknow up on streaming! 

[Madyaker]

I dont like his new tune on first listen but I will listen to it a few more times.

As shite as lockdown is I have to say I'm really enjoying the amount of DJs who are live streaming mixes directly to my sound system. Digweeds sets on saturday night have a become the highlight of my week to be honest! He plays for around 5 or 6 hours each night. Also caught some gems from Calvin Harris (surprisingly enough) and also Pete Tong who I've never really listened to before. Anyone else seen any good sets?

Filthy electro now, very un digweed but awesome

Good morning dance thread. 

During the lockdown I've decided to purchase Ableton 10 with the intention of trying to produce some techno, my favourite genre of dance music. It's all incredibly complex so I've taken a crash online course of how to use the software. With that in mind and having had no prior experience of making any kind of music before, below is my first effort, it's an acid enthused little number. I know @bennyhanah22 and a few other of you are into this kind of stuff so please give it a listen. Your thoughts, comments, abuse would be greatly appreciated. Thanks🙂.

I liked it, particularly the underlying acidy instrumentation. Couldn't get on with the loud cymbal sound though, it gets in the way of the better bits of the tune. It also sounds out of time in places, particularly the beginning.

Dutch government have announced similar measures to here in Ireland so that’s Dekmantel out the window this year  no word from the festival yet. Hopefully tickets will carry over to next year.

Thanks for the feedback man, I appreciate it. I’m still very green with all this stuff so hope to improve things moving forwards👍🏻.

Think I'm going to spend all the money I've saved on commuting on decks instead...

Anyone got recommendations for something solid, reliable, suitable for beginners and compatible with a Mac?

All depends on your budget & what you want to get from it really.

My mate just got a xdj xz.... but that is £2000. Lovely kit mind you.

I still have 1210s &  CDJ 800s. A bit primitive now!

[Acid Loafers]

Not decks but a controller instead but the Pioneer ddj 400 is doing wonders for me with rekordbox. 

Easiest "first" purchase I'd recommend to anyone thinking about it.

This should be fun tonight if anyone needs a stream to boogie to for an hour.

[Northern Soul]

Good evening dance people. Here’s a techno track I’ve just finished, for those people who are into this kind of thing. I hope you like it.

And another one. Well it is 4 o clock in the morning, what else is there to do apart from make Techno if you’re not in work🙂.

New Essential Mix from Jamie XX, think that's a new track at the start?

[Northern Soul]

Good morning dance thread, I've knocked up another tune after a beer or 2 (Six or seven really) anyway, here it is Listen to STMF by NaOH on #SoundCloud

 

I realise techno is quite subjective and isn't to everybody's taste but your feedback would be appreciated. I've used a new technique I've learned where you convert an audio file into a MIDI file so you can use different effects on it while retaining the original sound, anyway, I'll stop chatting technical shit now. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Stay safe dance crew👍🏻.

 

[Winslow Leach]

Only just getting round to the Beatrice Dillon album and god damn this is good. 

[Johnnyseven]

My lockdown has been greatly improved this week since I discovered you can download from Soundcloud. I've got myself some dj mix sets in high quality mp3 that i've been listening to through my hifi while working from home.

So I remember some chap on here, diamond? Nice fella. Anyway, he said he'd had a glance at the line-up for some of Block? Any clues now?

Came here to share this, very interesting mix by Jamie, I loved and hated it at different points. 

I also checked out Seb Wildbloods EM and was impressed. Very broad range of selections by him, though less clashing of sounds compared to Jamie.

Ello there

Well, I really shouldn't blow too much in case said artists roll over to next year. They never even got to announce plans! And all the concerns about crowd flow and sound levels had really been taken to heart. We'll see that come to fruition in 2021 thankfully. 

But if you throw names, I could maybe say yay or nay from what I can remember...

Is the rumour I heard that they secured Helena Hauff true or false? Last I heard was that they were trying to make it work amongst her other dates.
