Sorry for the weekend absence-- after seeing Dam Funk and Morgan Geist both spin great sets on Friday night, I spent all day Saturday barbecuing and then proceeding to this crazy all-night disco party. Really quite a weekend. Love watching the sun come up!
Today, a new techno track that got its hooks around me from the first time I heard it. Parisian producer David K. brings some heady minimal our way with "Rue Montmartre," his second contribution to Guy Gerber's Supplement Facts label. DJs are raving about the track all over, and it is easy to see way-- the major synth-lines are lushly melodic and rather low in the mix, the percussion patterns are reminiscent of Adam Beyer's excellent recent work, and use of hi-frequency washes is among the most effective I have heard. It reminds one of speeding along in a train, perhaps of Robert Babicz's work, and at times contains hints of BC-style filters. A truly atmospheric techno winner, highly recommended!!

Tomorrow, thinking about highly illegal things.
