Having been a fan of dance music for some years now, but always having focused on acid, dnb, dubstep and disco, mnml ssgs has really served as my introduction to the minimal side of techno. It's broadened my mind to a whole area of music that I don't think I would ever have found another point of entry to, and has given me the confidence to start stepping outside my comfort zone in terms of the nights and records I seek out now.<br /><br />I really like the length of the articles here, and the thought and effort that clearly goes into them. I think it's a shame that you've decided to take a rain check on the reflections on '09 because what you've posted so far was some of the most interesting, insightful writing on music that I've had the pleasure of reading in recent years.<br /><br />I totally understand the desire to stay fresh and avoid getting stuck in a rut, so I understand why you might wanna start winding up the current mix series. Better to start putting plans in action now, whilst you're still at the top of your game. Some of those mixes though (Silent Servant and Ancient Methods spring to mind) have really been instrumental in the development of my musical tastes over the past few months, so I'm excited to see what directions you end up travelling in in the future.<br /><br />Anyway, what seems clear to me is that with the amount of passion and effort that goes into mnl ssgs, whatever route you end up choosing for 2010 and beyond will no doubt be worth following.<br /><br />Big respect from here in sunny Manchester. Keep it up guys, and I'll be sure to pass the word on to anyone I know who I think has half a brain and a love for music that makes you move :)Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561370126370943766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-1215573924510308342010-02-11T23:11:04.542+11:002010-02-11T23:11:04.542+11:00does anybody know sets/live pa/podcasts floating a...does anybody know sets/live pa/podcasts floating around by Milton Bradley?

I'm interested in the conditions which best ferment dance music communities... Techno vineyards if you will. Yes, we all know about Detroit, Chicago, Berlin... but what of some lesser known hotspots and why/how they've developed in the way they have. There's been discussion recently on the Italian scene... it seems to be a healthy one. But how did those Italo-Disco roots morph into the Deep Techno outpost of today? And why is Israel the home of Psytrance? Etc. It mystifies and fascinates me, especially considering all the forms of dance music that stay strictly local, never reaching our ears from the distant barrios they emanate from...<br /><br />Just a thoughtSoyuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12501199338498811659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-3977962516807866692010-02-09T06:57:44.715+11:002010-02-09T06:57:44.715+11:00i just wanted to say thanks a lot for all the feed...i just wanted to say thanks a lot for all the feedback guys. this is proving very useful. PC and i have been having some serious discussions, and have been thinking a lot about what has been said here. <br /><br />right now we are leaning towards finishing the mix series slowly, having the mixes every couple of weeks, but still bringing the series to an end. after that, there will be a bit of a break, but we are in the process of planning a different kind of mix series, which we are starting to get very excited about. also, in the interim i'll be continuing with the sunday sounds series, and getting some more special mixes for that. <br /><br />and for people who dont like how wordy the blog is, deal with it, in our work lives PC and i both spend most of our time thinking and writing, and this carries over into the way we think about and talk about music. one thing we try to do is to give people different ways/levels of engaging. if you dont like the more reflective posts, that is fine, just dont read them.<br /><br />anyway, please keep the comments coming. we are listening.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030219185948353658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-18068550214579726372010-02-07T15:50:24.281+11:002010-02-07T15:50:24.281+11:00@CT

just realized (trigger even...regarding the mixes: <br /><br />just realized (trigger event: dug up Falko's mix, for no reason) that of course, it is sad that the mix series stops/slows down, because they were indeed distinctive (looked for the word quite a lot)...but exactly this distinctive nature of these mixes make it possible to dig them up again and again, re-listen to them in given moments. when they fit! 50-52 exceptional mixes that are very different. I remember, the dominant feeling always was that it is hard to say which ssg mix is THE best, or top 3. And this is why they are the aces in the sleeves. From 50 quality mixes I can live for a long time...not to mention that these artists/or similar have other productions, records, etc.<br /><br />So, in a way it is sad. But on the other hand, with what has been done before we (ssgs) are somewhat assured. This is why Falko's mix was the trigger event. quote: it's a music that teaches you something about groove-based electronic music; that reminds you of important things; that re-focuses and refreshes you by showing you the new and the old, the glittering of the half-forgotten... classic, not plastic.<br /><br />This works for me when the ensemble of the ssg mixes are considered. Sorry for being too long. Cheers!<br /><br />PS: Falko's mix is indeed a happy-place!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14375850374722326451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-60966856789688332322010-02-06T21:49:30.326+11:002010-02-06T21:49:30.326+11:00Do not stop.Do not stop.mikkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10770665595378888452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-1546338013885369042010-02-06T21:06:44.427+11:002010-02-06T21:06:44.427+11:00i would like to post something and maybe discuss.....i would like to post something and maybe discuss....
