Cankles-McJeggings Zackster techno, soulless nina techno, both will result in nosebleed.
How the fuck did we get here
Fair enough. Music for remwards.
I don’t want to waste another post trying to decide a genre for Dubfire of all DJs, Hugo. Figure it out.
But I hear you… nosebleed is more like Jeff Mills et al.
Anjuna Deep. Like fucking hell, it was shit then and its shit now.
Yea i agree with the organic house reference. It doesnt matter if the melody or arrangement is remotely interesting or catchy just throw it over a drum loop and away you go.
Yeh agreed, Anjuna deep doesn’t get enough flack.
Always surprises me when my clubbing mates from 2001 will say, “Anjuna Deep isn’t bad.” Think a couple of them went for a gig here recently as well. Refuse to give it a chance out of principle.
I see somebody has invited him onto this board. I bet he’s had a look & thought fuck that I’d get eaten alive.
I can’t wait for the Oakey interview

People shouldn’t encourage him. This is fucking horrible
What’s up Super Progressive happy monday and I’m so stoked to share a very very very special post today!!!
After I shared the Killahurtz post the other day, Mick Park of Parks & Wilson, Killahurtz, and Tilt actually reached out to me and was nice enough to share the backstory of Tilt’s “Seduction of Orpheus (Tilt Mythology Mix)”. I know this track is an absolute classic and I also remember it being featured as the first track of @dannytenagliaofficial GU010 Athens CD2. Here’s what Mick had to say about the track’s creation. I hope you all enjoy, and thank you again Mick! This was really special for me.
“So the backstory of the Seduction of Orpheus is a friend of mine who was studying fashion at the world famous Central Saint Martins University of Art in London. Lots of really famous designers have studied there. The end of term fashion show is a very big deal, they have lots of fashion houses attend looking for the next big designer. My friend’s collection was about the Greek mythology story of Orpheus who joined the expedition of the Argonauts, saving them from the music of the Sirens by playing his own, more powerful music. So we set about composing a 4 minute piece of music for his show. It had to be dark but powerful and grab people’s attention - so that’s what we did. After we’d finished it our management team had it in the office, when Sasha came in and asked if they had any new music. They played him the original show piece and he insisted on taking it away to play that weekend. The rest is history, it was part of the Dark Science EP on Hooj. A bit of trivia, John Graham did the vocals on the final version, as we didn’t wanna risk the sample we used.”
The full reaction to this track is on YouTube (link in bio). I hope you all enjoy, and I wanted to ask you… What are your memories of this track, and what other TILT tracks would you like to know the backstory of?
Thanks again Mick!
So for the video, it’s actually good to see someone enjoying the tune. Can’t see what’s wrong with that.
His style might be different, but is argue it’s probably less annoying than the both thumbs your arse cynicism approach sometimes prevalent on here.
Did worry the lads head was going to wobble off at one point though!

Definitely calling him out for saying GU10 is one of his favourite albums ever, let alone GU comp’, but hasn’t (until this video) heard the opening track to CD2? Must be a CD1 only guy…
I call phoney!
Damn- that was my retirement gig. Amazon it is then after my average career in the city comes to an end.
My YouTube channel would be giving guest slots to JC members to discuss tracks and classic JC threads / bantz etc. Plus Nick Muir would be roped in for advice on comfortable clothing for over 50s whilst DJing/Producing .

Now ya talking. Comfy pants & baggy t-shirts.
Loved that EP…lol
Used to drop this on the end Ruhe.
baggers44 Reykjavik, Miami, Sander K, Satoshi, Burridge… all 2001 onwards, all great mixes. Probably belongs in the unpopular mixes thread, but I enjoyed Singapore, Barcelona, and Trafik stuff too. The real fall from grace came with Jim Rivers & Sultan onwards.
Fabric always had the edge and longevity because of the diversity and a way more mature sound overall (mostly because the BPMs were not obnoxious).

vinnyt77 I left the states end of 2005, so my access to GU was pretty limited after that. Not once did I go out of my way to have friends bring a GU mix down to India for me. Fabric and Balance however, I absolutely needed those in my collection up until 2010. They pretty much ruined the board as well, right when everyone ridiculed them for the Sultan mix. Couldn’t believe they killed the board, seemed like their #1 marketing tool.
Cocaine is a helluva drug, I guess (in regards to the “fat lads” or whatever they were called).
I used to go round Chris Bourne’s flat and smoke pot in the mid 90s. Klang!

Thought T&R were a fantastic combo. This was my fave of his on his own. Immense at Tyrant.
Yeah, it did cross my mind. Athens isn’t one of my favourite mixes, but even I know Seduction of Orpheus, probably because it is the most un-Tilt track that they ever did. His reaction videos reminded me of the early doors videos of Sasha, at the Cathedral last weekend. You have these dudes running in through the doors, cutting shapes and largin’ it on an empty dance floor like it is peak time, not because the tune is brilliant, but because they feel that it’s an expression that they are really into it. Maybe that makes me Jaded.
The track is shit compared I dream anyway. Was temporarily cool cos Tenaglia played it. The French tit with the nasal twine sample is deeply annoying

in 1998 i was received from prison. some of my rascal friends who loved the peruvian told me about the global underground sasha 009. I paid hundred dollars just for it to ship to Almaty in those times. Even though I am mostly a hard acid techno person it was very much enjoyable until that libra calling your name track came on. Then I was so determinedly revolted that I took the two cds, urinated on them, and threw myself under a towtruck and, for certain, broke one of my rib.
When I moved to England to do some business, I met an east london cockney and his girlfriend was getting the white fainting face after smoking 3.5 grams of the skunk. I thought this was very strange as I know warriors from Karaganda who smoke the 30 gram zoot and wanted to get into battle with new york mcs. So this is all very vague, but anyway he put this on before his jose padilla mix and then sure as the midnight follows the daytime, the calling your name libra track came on. when he asked me why I was going all white faced in horror despite not smoking the skunk like his girlfriend, I didn’t know how to articulate myself. I said, it is the girls voice. It is sounding like high school musical corney drama. I cannot imagine how grown men enjoy this. It has occult power, somehow. And he turned round to me and said, so you’re saying this music is nonce thelema? Now of course, I was not willing to go that far, but I had heard of Crowley in the Almaty underworld, we had to use mind manipulation on kleptocrats after all. But since then I have been traumatised, much more than when other big man put neadles in my pum pum in 1995 in the jail because we sold more products than his putrid gang.

Dubman I see somebody has invited him onto this board. I bet he’s had a look & thought fuck that I’d get eaten
Yep, the guy’s a wuss - he did in fact reply to me saying he’s had a look but isn’t sure where to post. I suggested the music threads, but also pretty much anywhere - just get involved! But since then crickets.
