Industrial Complex

I ordered a Max Left hat last night.

When I downloaded the image for this post, because this is a very funny hat...

The filename was suspicious. Sinister.

The filename was [email protected].

I’m open to suggestions about what this may mean. But I’m returning this hat. There is no place or time for turcker-hate.

How do I tag Seder

I made a bunch of these and have some more in the hopper: in these tracks, an amateur computer singer tries earnestly to approximate a real pop star in a casual setting with friends and drinks but does not do a great job.

To make an AI voice model sing karaoke for you:

* Extract a vocal using UVR, or find an a capella, and feed it to an AI tool (I used ACE Studio) that can transcribe the melody into MIDI and write down the lyrics.

* Import the lyrics and extracted melody into another AI tool (or a new ACE Studio project) that sings the MIDI and the lyrics with a generative voice.

* Do a bunch of cleanup on the interpreted melody and the lyrics.

* Build a new backing track from scratch (optional).

* Put the voice (the lime) into the instrumental (the coconut).

* …

* Profit

Yes, it’s a far cry from “Girl You Love To Have Cheese.”

Aaron Parnas’ clips this morning really got to me.

I am so pissed off.

Mojo

The Electrifying Mojo - One O'Three and Fifty-Five Seconds

* “Can I get laid for this, man?”

House

Shank’s Substack , Kinsuby - Drivin (Original Mix)

Terrence Parker - Welcome to Southfield (Original Mix)

Big up Chicago raver alldem (including you Adam Mockler / Mockler Media: we should have coffee)

Represent very-near-Southfield what up doe #313 etc.

Techno?

At this tempo it is I think.

Surusinghe - Wolfgang (Original Mix)

Bass/Club?

Surusinghe - All Night (Original Mix)

I dig this Surusinghe character because the work sounds (to me) like alternate universe me. Interested in how you would taxonomize this track: please share your thoughts, microgenrefiers.

House/Disco

Roosevelt (@mariuslauber) , Folamour - Ordinary Love (Folamour Remix)

A delicious combo even at this (in retrospect ridiculous) garage tempo.

I highly recommend Folamour’s tour diary and CBP interaction videos! So underrated and so good and you will adore Folamour because he is most adorable. Incroyable mec!

Also do see Roosevelt live if you can, ‘s ausgezeichnet.

Hip hop?

@alpscru - The Concept [Instrumental]

I was surprised when this track was half-time; that threw me for one. Making my way to dubby 140, see. Worked out okay. This is a super useful track that I’m glad popped in. I had forgotten all about you, Alps Cru.

140

Ape Suit - Words Are Empty Sounds (Original Mix)

This track is such a vibe — I love its sparseness and the tension of the indifferent, nonthreatening vocal talking about doing someone’s dirty work.

I would love to do a remix trade or sth with Mr or Mrs @apesuit .

@hypho - Left Lung (Original Mix)

I love the way this one comes across in a club. It’s like wet.

@biome - Turn (Original Mix)

It seemed more musical for this to come out of the Ape Suit track so we had a little reprise.

Junior Dread - Wonderful Feeling @gorgonsound Remix)

Might not have been sufficiently dark. But I think I stand by it.

160

@midknightmoon - First Contact (Original Mix)

What happened here is, see, we have a track at 140 and one at 160, so the ratio is 7:8 and technically there’s a legitimate polyrhythm happening but that is some inscrutable post-Bulgarian s**t really so I don’t blame you if you are mad at me for this transition

gyrofield - Occam's Razor

gyrofield rules so goddamn hard; I absolutely adore your work gyrofield

Indie/rock!

brian eno - King's Lead Hat

See what happened here is I wanted to play King’s Lead Hat for Trump, and everyone loves King’s Lead Hat and all, but sorry about both transitions, especially the one into

Parcels Music Substack - NowIcaresomemore

It’s crazy that the Eno line “no one cares” landed right up against Parcels’ very similar-sounding lyric.

* There is at least one wild cosmic coincidence in every mix, I think.

Three cheers for Parcels.

* In a gas station the other day, I heard the one about not giving up during COVID which always makes me cry a little and found it odd that it was on in a gas station.

* Are Parcels much bigger than I think they are?

I thought Jules looked best when he was young George Harrison.

Electro?

Claude Vonstroke, Justin Jay - Nucleus (Original Mix)

The entrance was promising but alas the tracks disagree. To me, this is jit-referent electro. Such super tasty harmonic content and pads yum!

@ridershafique, Cee, Shrii’s Substack - Watch (Remix)

This one is hard to fit into a set to me for some reason but I really dig it

G303 - The Beginning (Original Mix)

I guess we’re sort of in the footwork zone here maybe but you have to consider the provenance/context so to me it’s Teutonic footlectro. I’m interested in how other people would file this one.

Skream - Thinking Of You (Original Mix)

* This song is the whole point of the set.

* Mr sKrEaM has a very special place in my heart as I believe myself to be one of the first US DJs to order his stuff from @bigapplerecords WAY back in the day.

* Such a talent, hell yeah Skream, hold tight.

* Isn’t this a great flipping evergreen track? So good.

Please feed back, lmk where you’re at. Safe.
