i've been trying to work out how to introduce this mix, and i'm really not sure what to say... people who read this blog know ancient methods, and know exactly what to expect. the boomkat description i used last time is still the best way i've found to describe their sound: 'pitch black techno war funk'. AM is powerful and brutal, without ever getting too aggressive or banging. this is techno music for warrior gods, it's what i imagine you would hear at a rave at valhalla...
in this new mix baeks and trias mash up and fuse a remarkable blend of techno, industrial, IDM, experimental and everything in between, to make something that is uniquely their own, creating a mix that has the distinctive intensity and strength which defines what AM do. so get ready, this one is a monster.
ssg special: ancient methods - handmade blend mix
one of the great pleasures of doing this blog is creating relationships with people, and it makes us very happy to be able to host another mix from ancient methods. for more info, check their myspace and discogs. for booking, head over to kinetic. AM05 came out recently, and if you missed a copy, i'd suggest fixing that ASAP. it's a killer. and don't worry, we have a tracklist for this. we'll post it next week, as usual. for now, enjoy some destructive techno from ancient methods.
oh great! what's better to begin a day than a new ancient methods's set..

I am VERY excited! A big thank you to AM and the ssgs. Mix 26 is still a legend for me and I've got a good feeling about this given the rousing introduction.

ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to process this mix; definitely one of the most moving for me. So many atmospheres and images evoked in my mind... definitely a piece of art that should be preserved in a museum somewhere... incredible closing track and I remember my closing semi-consious thought (prompted by the recent 50th anniversary of SETI no-doubt) was:
ReplyDelete"send that message to outer-space, m-fers!" :)
Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIts on repeat since download. Truly a work of art, crafted like a sacred steel relique, a deliciously moving and pounding one, well, if i can say. Its State of the art techno.
Thanks to AM (hope to see them, and hopefully helping them to play in Paris) and the ssgs team.
Oh shit... I hear some Harmonious Thelonius in there, if I'm not mistaken...

ReplyDeletewow. this podcast, like the one they supplied before, is truly a wonder. Face-melting and transcendent at the same time. thanks for something so special.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! Definitely AM is the act of the year. When I heard rsb7 I got literally goosebumps what had not happened for a while with new techno music. Thereafter found my way to AM releases and am still excited. Medieval dark funk.
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's taken me a few listens to get properly into this, there's a lot in it, but my god it's tremendous!
ReplyDeleteThere was mention of a tracklist for this?
ReplyDeleteplease please!!!
Ignore me, I have found it and the record I was after since my last comment! D'oh.
ReplyDeleteStill playing this mix, monster.
