Bunker 49

ArchimedesQ I’ve been under the impression that Transitions has been NM for many years. In terms of production NM was quite candid in an interview that he did most of the work, but JD’s contribution would be to critique the track and make suggestions for tweeks here and there.

Diggers properly got his tits out when I said to him it’s well known NM did transitions for him haha.
Called me a plank he did. Which cut me deep I can tell you.

BlainSA the whole notion that the DJs we love and admire mix on the fly and just let the crowd dictate the set is pie in the sky in my opinion. You only have to look at a snapshot of Sasha’s sets of old to see he pretty much played the same set for 3 months straight with the odd new track substituting in. It was (and still is) an art finding two/three tracks that work perfectly together. Everyone put multiple hours in practicing those mixes, and I can’t imagine it’s too dissimilar now too

BlainSA

ScottBailey Was good to see someone cut through the bullshit for once.

ArchimedesQ

BlainSA I would assume that’s because Auntie John has always held the purse strings

BlainSA

ArchimedesQ NM pretty much said John’s influence was along the lines of -

JD - “Right, put a sound there”
NM - “What sound?”
JD - “Any sound, it doesn’t matter”

I look at it like CM and Sasha. Together their output was better than solo efforts. Not sure musical hardware was a factor.

BlainSA yep, when the merch was plain and understated

erik

ArchimedesQ yep it’s been like that since day dot, literally nothing new

Dan he’s just back from a skiing holiday, so not surprising at all really

You’ve got to listen to that interview which NM done with that Super progressive guy. He said what John brings into the studio is that he knows what works in a club environment.

Dubman Yeh, my comment was simplified, but sticking a sound in the right place can obviously make a notable difference to groove and rhythm.

How the mighty have fallen.

I totally swerved Diggers after the first Transistions CD….despite going to the launch at Heaven I thought it was dull and too moody. Last time I saw him was in 2016 at the MOS which was pretty good for the first few hours, but then turned into a pounding techno sausagefest. To quote my brother “Where’s all the birds”

I think they need creative inputs from John & Nick to create that bedrock sound. The last vinyl track of NM I bought was Numb although it was ok it wasn’t as good as a bedrock production.

Dubman Blimey. A long time ago then. I actually listened to it a few days ago for the first time in ages. Still good, but doesn’t beat the Bedrock productions from that time for sure.

Digweed’s coming to Helsinki May 6th. First time in Finland since 2012 if I’m not mistaken. Shall of course attend.

Full report on his facelift.

I downloaded a flac version of Bunker 49 and had a good listen yesterday. I didn’t hear any nudges up or down during any of the transitions but the annoying thing was that sound effect he used almost on every mix which in the end made it unlistenable. I’m afraid I won’t be listening to him anymore.

BlainSA

Dubman I didn’t hear any nudges up or down during any of the transitions

There definitely was during about the 30 mins I listened (which was quite good actually)

Dubman

BlainSA
That’s good to hear. What is that effect he constantly uses.
