picked up a few new records when i was in Stockholm this weekend (short = comments because i haven't had the time to listen to them much yet): Airgoose - Programmable Rhythmer - Different Drummer - 12" i've been looking for this for like 3 years now and at last this record = has landed in my record collection. sounds a bit like Sie, except maybe = more abstract. the reason why i decided to look for this 12" was the B1 = track 'That Was No Martian'. it's sooo gooood! Aprilheights - We Haven't Got A Clue - Audio Pollution - 2x12" surprised to find this in the old electronica-bin, especially since i = didn't even knew it even existed, at least it shouldn't since it's a = promo of an album which was never released (APLP 02). it has a dark = sound which could be described as putting Tupilaq, Plastikman's "Musik", = AFX's finest moments and some of Speedy J's "Public Energy #1" in the = blender. very, very good! Arovane - s/t - Din - 12" Arovane - Icol Diston - Din - 12" best god damn IDM i've purchased in a long time! beautiful crunchy = tracks with lovely melodies and there are 0 fillers - this is all good = stuff! get these! Metamatics - Dayglo Tinsel - District Six - 12" the above comments works fine for this one too, i think. Tupilaq - Volver EP - Dot - 12" a Krister Linder release on Dot which i never could get my hands on when = it first came out since the local recordstore only held one copy in = stock. remixes from Kid Loops and Floppy Sounds or something like that. = the record only says DOT 1201 TEST PRESSING, so what do i know. i heard = the Floppy remix would be all beautiful and shit but this record has the = crummy d'n'b remix on B1 and a 4/4 remix on B2. maybe this test pressing = has another remix? --- the Stockholm event Induktor which was held at V=E4xtverket, Brommaplan = was pretty fun, atleast for me who did a fun performance of new material = say 40 minutes of tricky, abstract and sometimes melodic IDM and 40 = minutes of chaotic noises and microphone yadda yadda. later on me, M = (Marcus Wrang=F6) and InSine (Thomas Anders=E9n) did an improvised = layered noise-performance using some of my dark noisy ambient from my = Phthalo demo in the background and mixing it with everything from Dr = Broxburn to the sounds of the Stockholm subway and some sampler scraps = and pad percussion. it was a blast! DJ Solidst8 started the main floor moving with his US stuff incl various = breaks, electro, and chicago house records. a lot of fun for the 2 hours = it lasted, and i danced through the entire set. very different from what = is usually played (p*trance and hard-as-nails techno) at swedish raves = and clubs. Hardcell and Pratap put on their usual hard techno records = and i guess the crowd dug it but i don't know because i was upstairs in = the chill out area playing records and noises all night. mr Lekebusch = called in sick the night before the organisers had to find another dj, = and since neither Mull or Dahlbaeck could be contacted they called DJ = Ego, who played the hardest set i've heard from him ever! only 200 people arrived so the organisers were really slapped in the = face economically. fucken Lekebusch to cancel on them like that. :( but i had a lot of fun anyway. bauri @ http://www.underjord.net
