But there is another side to this: we view the past through a filtered lens. The artists we remember are almost always the good ones; those who made music to last. All the copycats and hacks from back in the day are overlooked... so it just seems like the average quality of a release was better back then. I don't really think that is necessarily the case.

Well, there is some of that "nostalgia" effect, but I don't think that's the whole story.

The truth is that when it was a lot more difficult and expensive to make electronic music and get it pressed, only people who were either very dedicated or rich could do it.

Don't get me wrong, there's still lots of good music to be found today. It's just that there are also piles of mediocre shit that either simply wouldn't have been released pre-2000s or wouldn't even have been made at all because the crappy and undedicated producers who gave birth to it would have been too discouraged by the difficulty and time investment required to make signable music.

I'll be working on a Coffee Song remix the rest of the Summer.

I've heard a fart bass remix of Born Slpipy for almost a year now too. Not sure what remix it was, but it was one of those track that had a trance-like build up, and then bam, nasty fart bass. Just like that terrible Jump Around remix.
I heard Tall Paul play this fart bass remix of Born Slippy in February, and during the break down 2 dudes at the front were so stoked that they gave each other high fives and then pulled in for a hug... twice.

You're joking, right?

I do see that the mau5 recently shit on Blendbrank's "Synthetic Symphony" with an "electro house" remix, though.

It's got an electro feel to it.

While that's true, look at the rich labels and artists pumping out tripe today. Ultra records, etc

Back in 1983 it was kids like derrick may with their friend's drum machine and uncle's keyboard, you know?

Yep. There are lots of people riding on their own past successes, or riding on other people's success, and putting out crap left and right.

i like what jus-ed had to say about it in his interview with RA

quote:

You just let go? Yeah, I just said, "This is what it is, this is my sentence, my story, my words. If you get what I'm saying or the music that I'm making, then you get it. If you don't, that's alright." I think people make records with the intent that it's going to be the bomb or it's going to blow up and they're going to be the next Masters At Work, or Larry Heard or the next whatever. You know what I'm saying? I think people ought to lower their.... Expectations? Exactly. Keep it real. The mark of success is that I finished a track and I actually got it into production. If you want to help the vinyl community, stop waiting in line. Go press your own records. If you want to know a mastering place or a place to go, I'll tell you a place you can press 525 records for under $1300. And that’s with the mastering. [laughs] Stop waiting for Jus-Ed or Kerri Chandler or any other artist or label to press your music, because we have an agenda and we have a limited budget and there is too much music for me to throw my money at. I can't do it. If you believe in your music, sometimes you got to take a risk. Take your own risk. Once it's on vinyl, it's there forever! You do that and there is the empowerment in just that success and you’ll be surprised... The message... Yeah, I mean there are about 8 billion people in the world and all you want is 0.05% to buy your music [laughs] so that you can go press another record. That's the way I approached it, and that’s the way I still do it. It may not make sense to everyone else, but it's that simple. And, fortunately, people like what I'm doing and it's growing. More people are finding out about it and it's growing gradually. I'm not an overnight…

My heart is broken.

God - that track reminds me of the days when Steve Porter was still playing good music.

the recent remix of 'universal nation' (think it could be the deadmau 5 remix) is another example of a classic track absolutely ruined for the sake of it. Just awful.

James Harcourts?



At least we got a great thread out of that one.

I still haven't even heard it.

Will still more than likely never hear it.

id say thats the best option

I don't think it's all that bad. It's definitely not my cup of tea genre-wise, but it looks like a legitimate attempt at a creative remix(Tyas?), disregarding the animosity towards touching a classic.

This is just based on the beatport sample, I don't know how (bad) it veers off afterward.
