zackster

You have my word I’ll give it a go over the next few days. Been very busy as they’ve deactivated loads of Covid workers, a good thing in aggregate, but not great for me personally. Should have time for a run/hike and some Zack techno over the weekend.

    When you do bants AND call me mate, it makes a bit of sex wee come out.

    I am going to listen to it for definite now, zack.

    HTFF!

    Smallman1 It’s the Cd1 of techno.

    In Zack’s case you mean ‘The Seedy One of Techno’

      I’ve tried that alias but Speedy J’s camp reached out in protest.

      zackster lol booker t bear, that’s so funny and only partially concerning. if you want, send me a 3 or 4 track wav from the middle of the mix and i’ll see if i have any insight. no worries if you don’t care, that’s cool too. could be a combination of being a bit quiet and soundcloud’s compression destroying the dynamics, which it tends to do.

          Can’t listen to it again at the mo to check but from what I recall the first 40 or so minutes seemed a tad more affected somehow.

              zackster by studio, I meant that I pieced it together in ablation’s arrangement view

              Yeah that’s the kind of thing I meant by “done on a laptop”, it doesn’t surprise me that was the method used.

                hugopal aaah. there were several vinyl rips in there. That played a part I am sure.

                  303abuser Booker is often dressed up in cute weather appropriate outfits.

                  This is a 100% unembellished story: Booker’s friend/owner and my dj colleague at the station was banned from the Build a Bear (insane US stuffed bear chain store) at the local shopping mall. He was accused of being a sex pest because he would show up all the time with Booker and try to talk to kids. I felt awful for him because he is defo not a nonce, but rather weird lonely man. Felt awful about it when he told me.

                      zackster A Paul Fletcher 18 is tolling me in the soundcloud mix timeline…

                      Answers the question of for whom the bells toll.

                        zackster i could see that being a problem, even if well intentioned. people generally frown upon that kind of thing.

                          hugopal there’s definitely some issue, i just need to analyze it in ableton to figure it out. could be just volume, but i’m not sure because soundcloud isn’t exactly a high quality stream.

                            Started my morning with a bang and put this on over breakfast.

                            Sounds fine to me, but you can tell the vinyl rips. And you need to put the volume a bit up. Not by much, this is still louder then the first Bunker-recordings on Digweed’s Select.

                              This mix is great for waking up my 15 year old for his double science lesson.

                              Lol!

                                Starting to think Si is never going to give it a listen. 🥺

                                You know what, zack. I made a promise to listen to a board members mix every week this year. I will give yours a rattle this week.

                                To quote our very own Kenny Everett, “HOLD TIGHT FOR FEEDBACK!”

                                Great tweet that sums up the vibe I went for

                                Not really massively been into techno lately, but liked this.

                                  An upvote for including a Rob Hood track.

                                  Dont mind the Dude’s music….. properly throbbing techno

                                    Dan yeah really stepped out of my comfort zone there…

                                    several others ended up on the cutting room floor. His Mirror Man album and the accompanying EP were both amazing releases. Really dark and repetitive, and a distinct departure from the sound he had been making for his string of Dekmantel releases that came out prior.

                                      I had his album on in the car today. Nice drive to Canterbury.

                                        hugopal I’ve no history of hiding my true feelings passive aggressively with Zach.

                                            zackster good this mate. Made today’s run pace a wee bit quicker.

                                              This is true. You should see what he calls me via DM.

                                                Being the tortoise that I am when it comes to member mixes, I finally got around to this (sorry for the delay). I was prepared for a full on techno assault from start to finish, but this built really well! I loved the flow of this and by about halfway through that build to the techno assault was there, but not in a brutal way, which I appreciated.

                                                Great track selection and flow Zack. Thoroughly enjoyed that! 😃

                                                  17 days later

                                                  Enjoyed the first hour or so Zack, some really interesting tunes and well put together.

                                                  I really like the old Neel, Dozzy, slightly triple stuff as well as some of the more atmospheric detroit sounds. This first hour was enjoyable in that kind of way.

                                                  Had to bail when it ratcheted up a bit, not my idea of home listening.

                                                  Cheers for sharing as always
