-- JOOF's thoughts on the scene
Pages (4): « 1 2 3 [4]

Hey John long time listener & fan. Your essential mix last year was great.I've been out of the trance scene for a while but when I have a thirst for new trance I always trust the JOOF label to still put out quality releases. Haters are gonna hate for all kinds of reasons. It's good to see it doesn't have a negative effect on you. Keep on truckin'

Sorry for the arbitrary question but did Oliver Lieb say he has some productions in the works or a potential release on the JOOF label
Tell him to post here, he still has a cult following on TA.

You should also assemble a round table of ex-elite trance producers, as a last fcuk you to this watered down market.

Why do you ever bother posting?

You and the rest of the Platipus-massive should probably just go to this to get your fix, tbh:

Woah I'm speechless. Thanks for ruining my day SandLeaper
People shouldn't pass that up. I also like how they age limit is 25.

Thanks for being kind to me here...phheww!
It's nice chatting you all here, makes me feel a little closer to you all. Also great to have a chat/debate as it helps see your view from the other side of the fence.

Answer some of you questions:

1) Oliver Lieb

Good news he's back making music again. He will release these on a new label he's setting up, they should be ready pretty soon. So this is exciting news. He sounds refreshed from his break.

2) System J

I feel your pain too, frustrating industries we're in
Can you help me find those underground events in the North? I love these type of clubs and have been working closely with many across the World. I'd rather play to a room full of people who understand the music than a huge room that doesn't. Promoter presume fee's will be too much, but are pleasantly surprised when we reach out a hand to help them.

In fact if any of you can help me find these clubs across the World, I'll be there!


2) Pzk

You nailed it right there. For a long time I've been saying download prices have been creeping up. They worked at the beginning because they used to be cheap. If they keep them cheap I too think it will make a big difference with people getting the track from a shop, rather than all the hassle of having to find it on Torrent sites (correct file quality etc)

Fuck Yeah!Exciting news, thanks for the info Oliver Lieb can't wait;its great to see you connect with the trancers here John. Another question I had for you is; are you doing a US Tour in the near future?Back in July 2004 I missed you at Washington DC Cubik @ Nation with Astral Projection and regret it so much. I was there earlier to see a sub-par Tiesto set and kick my ass everytime I look at the flyer I still have. Would you be coming around Chicago or even somewhere in Wisconsin. There is a nice underground scene in Milwaukee and Madison. Speaking of the old flyer it shows how long you have stay true to yourself and haven't strayed too far from your style.

I wouldn't get excited about this. His most recent releases were 2008, and he was producing glitchy minimal. Unless you can confirm that the new label would be trance-oriented?

There are a few underground trance/psytrance/etc. promoters around me:

Cabbage (Leeds) http://www.cabbage-leeds.org.uk/
(Just found out from their site that they're putting a night on tomorrow - might head on down!)

Remedy (Leeds) http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=89671807873

Psychoactive (Leeds) http://www.psychoactiverecords.co.uk/

IllumiNaughty (Manchester) http://www.illuminaughty.co.uk/site/

Strange Daze (Manchester) http://www.facebook.com/pages/STRANGE-DAZE/215644568098
(These guys aren't trance promoters as such, but they recently put on Art Of Trance and Union Jack, and you can't argue with those trance credentials, plus they often have local psytrance DJs playing.)

Kulu (Bradford) - Can't even find a website for these guys, but they put on psytrance nights semi-regularly in Bradford, apparently there was one a month or two back. I'm trying to find out more.

There's probably a lot more I haven't even heard of. These guys are always collaborating and sharing DJs and events. I'd love to see you play at this kind of event, and I imagine most J00F fans are the same. There is a great venue in Leeds where many of these events take place, called The Beaver Works. It's a converted factory and it's the epitome of a grimy underground venue. I saw CJ Bolland play a classic techno set there last summer, and Hardfloor are playing there next weekend. I can't imagine how good a proper dark J00F set would sound in that setting.

LOL CHRIS IS THAT YOU??

Of course you have to notice the conflict of interest this interview is from the pioneer pro dj youtube channel. Of course they are not going to have somebody say that vinyl sounds better. But I tell you this working for a distributor in 2004 was pretty fucking hard. People had to find new clients when there were like 10 record stores going out of business every week!

I agree with you that vinyl sounds better, and I'd still play it myself if tracks were released on that format.

You can't back up your argument of sound quality with a YT clip, as YT compresses and greatly reduces the quality of any audio uploaded. Vinyl/WAV/mp3 formats all sound equally shit when played through YT.

I took it as he is back making trance. That minimal techno he was making on the Maschine label was so uncharacteristic. His last releases like 'Jesus Ist Da' and 'Papel' were better than a lot of stuff at the times. A better note to leave on instead of just trendfollowing trance; even though he produced minimal the Maschine label never look to serious anyways; releases dwindled every year since '06

Jesus Ist Da is very underrated. The bassline is insane. And you can never get too much of Klaus Kinski!

Yeah I don't think most people know about this one:

Is the JOOF label 100% digital?

Originally posted by Syntonic Is the JOOF label 100% digital?

since years back, yes

I've just spent the last 6 or so hours sorting and organizing over roughly 3000 vinyl into some sort of assemblance.

A very therapeutic and rewarding process.
Yet another reason for me personally why all the digital shit seems so cold and clinical in comparison.

Sifting through and sorting records.......bliss
Sifting through folders on computer.......piss

saw JOOF at Avalon here in LA alongside Christopher Lawrence. f*in bangin

guys, could you post 1 track from this dude j00f that I might like?

airwave remix is cheating

I personally think that some of Johns best productions are some of his remixes.
Some of my favourites:
