For me, two of the best techno producers ever. But they never get the props. Why is this???

Sometimes the fact that they dont bring things in on the 32, and everything is so difficult ot DJ with might be an issue for me. But I still love their tunes so damn much and wish I could fit them in more. Has anyone noticed their lean toward the Chicago sound over the last few years?? Bam Bam etc???

Apparently (and I heard this from a little birdie), they just stick the DAT in and jam. Then they just cut out the good bits and release them. I may be wrong but it was from a reliable source ;) But I have to say, I really think they should have played a more major part than they have in shaping the way things need to go...

I still think there's a lot of respect for these 2 techno friends.
I mean from all the people who are involved with techno.
And a lot of respect from the DJ's and producers themselves.

A time ago I talked with Jamie about this.
It's still too confusing to understand..
They deserve the same status as people like Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke,
all the big ones. But the technoscene is still too f*ck*d up...
and it's like people forgot about what it's all about.
(see my distribution topic as an example)

Jamie, Ben, but also Ade, Inigo.. well lots of guys coming from UK are held as gods in Eastern Europe ;) their traxx are constantly played by most techno djs, crowd loves them, they might not be on the frontpages of magazines, but for sure are in the hearts of techno lovers..

****, I'm getting poetical.. :lol: its probably coz I'm still drunk from last night..

There's only so much room at the top, just a fact of show business. They're respected by the people who know, that's what matters.

ive always put both these producers right up there with the best of em.....theyve created some fantastic tracks that have banged dancefloors for years and ben longs-imperial leather is certainly a true classic in my eyes.

I've always like Jamie's works, sometimes that same ole guitar rift can get a little tiredsome.

are you talkin about his metal-sounding synth. curious, what machine he uses for that.. :?:

(fruity loops dx 10 'steeldrum' preset can sound rather similar, btw.)

great producers & belter djs..

jamie is a gent

tbh, i think they should stay the 'understated heros' that they are as an example of how to do this thing we call techno right.

that 'crisia gwan' 12 on 50hz is still destroying it :twisted:

02-01-2005, 01:56 PM

btw, i think he uses a big Doepfer (sp?) synth for his sounds. mental tones

I think its Serge (or however you spell it) modular gear he uses or used !

All I know is these guys have been making great tracks for years. They are true heroes in europe. Ive never seen them live but Ive heard great reports. Im sure they will carry on doing it for years :clap: Hopefully I can get to check them out in the near future, but you dont see too much techno in Uk. and that Ground 06 by Bissmire is an absolute anthem. I still cant get hold of a copy anywhere. :cry:

Web records are notorious for displaying stock when it's clearly unobtainable stock, sometimes even deleated lines.

hi there BEN LONG here. Would you please be kind enough to tell me why you think i was a cock that night and why my attitude stinkz ??????? i came up from London on a night when i should have had my feet up wacthing the box to provide my services FREE OF CHARGE for a good cause and you want to call me cock ??? .The party was cool i thought a good time was had by all , but may be not . Anyway if thats what you think you should have said something @ the time to my face ! Not go running your mouth about me to your palz ! take a look @ your own attitude , infact i think you need to adjust it myself !

Thankz to the rest of you guyz for the more positive feedback on this page and just to let you know i have a few copies of Ground 006 that i would be willing to part with ( @ the right price of course ) ! you can contact me via info@spacedjz.com

04-01-2005, 02:49 PM

maybe i was a bit hasty saying that. I wasnt dissing yours or jamies work. in fact i rather like space dj'z stuff.

a good time was had by all but i was told after the party that you had requested to be paid for the event. if this is true, i stick by my statement. if not sorry and i appologise.

thats wot they do best dood when they on form they blow your tits off,an jamie does things on the turn tables that blow your mind away, i once saw him bang the deck knock it out of mix and then repeat and knocked back in :shock: these guys are magicians and demonstrate every reason why we need to keep our trusty turntables. ;)

06-01-2005, 01:47 PM

yeah space djz rock and have been doing it for time. They both Know how to make quality techno that's fior sure and have been doing it for years.
Seen Bandulu also live some years ago and they certainly rocked it, seemed very dub influenced live act

Top DJz,I like their style not afraid to tear it up and mess about with the tunes.
Maybe they are nice maybe they are not but musically they rock

yeah, shouldn't put things like that on a forum, appologies. Its comments like that that send this place crazy sometimes, and i dont wanna contibute to that.

back on topic, the ground 006 remix is in innercity records, or basement traxx as its now known. the claude young remix is top.

i've only read the intial thread, so i'm not sure if this is relevant to any subsequent posts, but i have to agree that jamie bissmire is one of the main men i look out for at the moment along with bam bam and lars klein. we're hoping to procure the services of lars klein for fusion in march, but a stumbling block of 50% upfront has may mean we'll have to leave it for a bit. the first name on our lips as a replacement was jamie bissmire. even if we sort mr klein for march, mr bissmire is next on our booking list. i'm really into the hard and funky mixture of his music, and i can see why him and bambam work well. 'crisis a gwan' remixes is the best four tracker i've bought in a while, and 'the london project' on 50hz is a blinder and his 'urban discipline' ep was a corker too. i hope these guys get some more recognition!!! by the way, before i get too excited about the prospect of booking bissmire, can anyone tell me if he's based here or abroad??
