Just another quick question, everyone at ultra went crazy for deadmau5 doing one more song. It really looked like he was gonna do it too with smoke and lights just blasting on, then after some stalling they turned off again, what was up with that?

He really wanted to, just the technical issues made it not possible.

Edit: Yeah, and the city made 12 midnight STRICT.

Firaga: Jan 4, 2005; WHAT YOU SAY

Can we talk BBC Radio 1?
Essential mixes and Annie Mac have helped me expand my house/electro library, and they are always mixed amazingly well. I found a ton of great tracks and DJs just through these two shows alone.
I usually find myself listening to an EM or an Annie Mac show rather than a play list or a mix from somewhere else. My favourite EMs are Laidback Luke and Fakeblood, but I'm sure I'm missing a ton of amazing ones considering the show has been going for years.
I show Laidback Luke EM to everyone who is even remotely interested in house. I love that mix to death.

As for Annie Mac, the last two shows have been absolutely amazing, and for anyone that hasn't heard last Friday's show I suggest you do it before the end of the week!

So that being said, can anyone recommend a good EM or a good Annie Mac episode?
I was listening to Boyz Noise and MSTRKRFT the other day and while mixed amazingly well, they were slow and kinda boring. Maybe I just didn't get far enough into them? (about 30 min or so)

Also for any trance heads, Armin's EM is nothing short of incredible.

i'm not into trance but oakenfold's goa mix ('94) is pretty well regarded. justice's essential mix is badass, daft punk did a great one as well. jack beats just did one that i have heard is the hotness but i haven't had time to listen to it yet.

There's a thread in TCC about it:
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3222111

As for reccomendations, some of the newer ones have been AMAZING. If you liked Fake Blood (my favorite EM ever), check out Jack Beats' mix from February. Also, Kissy Sell Out / Alex Metric was amazing earlier this month. Definitely check out the Eric Prydz set from New Years Eve, and the Simian Mobile Disco one from January.

If you didn't already know, all the EM's are at Mixriot

That's pretty much it. The city requires the festival to shut down at a certain time or they face some pretty hefty fines. Depressing I know, but I've heard from a few friends who work with the festival that there will be a third day next year. I haven't done too much digging to back that up officially, but it's being talked about down here like it's common knowledge.

Edit: Apparantly they mentioned something toward the end of Deadmau5's set, but I left 10min before the set ended due to a friend getting sick :shroom:

It's a definite. The announcer/MC/whateverthefuck told the whole crowd when the set was over, the cheering that preceded was hysterical.

Dated, but I still love the Crookers and Digitalism mixes from a few years ago. And seconding the recommendations on the Jack Beats and Kissy Sell Out ones from last month.

New (old) music: Kissy played this old Herve remix on his show last week and it's been heavy in my rotation since. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJQqREN8OuU

I know this might sound crazy, but my personal favorite is the Diplo EM. He goes through so many songs so quickly. Even my most favorite DJs can lose my interest after a good long time - even Justice (my most favorite group, ever) loses my interest in their essential mix. Diplo holds my interest the whole time. He is insano.

Note: my personal favorite mix ever, though, is the Justice Xmas Mix (aka Fabric live 37: http://redthreat.wordpress.com/2008/01/14/justices-xmas-mix/ - Fabric was like "lol brah, peepz aren't rdy 4 dis" and so Justice released it for free, I've never listened to a mix that many times).

THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS SET TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM "FURTHER" ON JUNE 8, 2010
3/30/10 at 8:36am

Greetings Chemical brothers & sisters,

We have an exciting new communique from Chemicals UK HQ:

>>

THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS SET TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM "FURTHER" ON JUNE 8, 2010

It starts with what sounds like an alien Morse code transmission; Earth bound signals bouncing off the side of orbiting space debris. Snatches of voices found out in the ether cut through the machine fog, drifting across burbling analogue equipment lovingly kept working long after supposed sell-by date. By the time the click and thump of snare and bass drum arrive, the sounds are all-encompassing, swirling around you with dizzying, disorientating effect. Noises come untethered by constraints of volume, seemingly leaping from the speakers with a life of their own. For a band used to dealing in psychedelics, this time around The Chemical Brothers have really pushed the proverbial envelope.

The Chemical Brothers are set to release their seventh studio album, Further, on June 8, 2010 on Freestyle Dust/Parlaphone/Astralwerks. This album is the band�s first to be released with corresponding films made specifically to match each of the 8 audio tracks. The films will be included on an iTunes LP and special edition DVD.

Nearly three years on from the release of their GRAMMY� Award winning and fifth consecutive UK Number 1 album We Are The Night, Further sees Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons explore the boundless possibilities of their sound. Taking a trip through four decades of electronic noise, Tom & Ed have taken the template set up with their occasional �Electronic Battle Weapon� releases and allowed them to mutate gloriously into an entire album. Voice samples and snatches of vocals are woven through tracks to create a record that ebbs and flows like one of the band�s legendary live sets. Here, West Coast power pop harmonies sit beside German Motorik rhythms while My Bloody Valentine-esque sonic manipulations plane across the top of early house basslines. Further is the culmination of nearly two decades of psychedelic exploration, an immersive collection that finds The Chemical Brothers at their least-restrained and most-melodic best.

As well as an eight-track album, Further is the band�s first proper partnership with long-time visuals collaborators Adam Smith and Marcus Lyall. Now a respected TV and film director, Adam � aka Flat Nose George - has been responsible for creating the visual backdrop for every Chemical Brothers gig since their live debut in 1994. Visuals for Further have been created to correspond with each track on the album and have been planned during the recording of the record.

The band will play four shows at London's Roundhouse in May. These will be the first opportunities for fans to see the band play the album with Smith and Lyall�s new films in sequence and in their entirety.

The band will also play select festivals in Europe including Sonar Festival in Barcelona before coming to the US for summer dates including gigs at the Hollywood Bowl on August 29 and Electric Zoo at Randall's Island in New York City on September 4.

Stay "tuned" for more news from Chemicals' HQ shortly, including answers to the latest batch of "Ask Tom & Ed" & the new fantastically wonderful website....

edit: erol alkan also just tweeted that the new track [single?] is amazing and is set to drop on thursday. i remember reading somewhere that erol is a HUGE fan of dig your own hole, so maybe this signals a possible return to proper form?
