im gonna go out on a limb here and prob get slated, but is anybody thinking umeks shit is rather nice l8eley???? i always look at an umek tune and say "Nahh i cant play umek". but i have to admit the man is back on form and going in a very nice direction.
i bought his last on novamute- very nice.
the new consumer recreation is very nice, BMB style.
even one track on the new tortured is well worth a listen.
i bought one on novamute a couple of months ago (probably the same one u mention). and i was impressed. ive said it before, and ill say it again, i think he comes in for some un-just critiscm.
the problem has never been with his production, always the tracks he plays out!
Umek has made some legendary tracks indeed, but i admit i wudnt really want to listen to anything he does these days, Umek doesnt interest me at all
i've got to say that i love a lot of what umek does, maybe not evry track on a release,
but the Mumps mechanisms EP's are ace,
that one one nova mute was wicked (Ganolam + Arondon),
Brotax on Potential 11 always rocked the Orbit and still gets people going now,
some of the consumer recreations kick ass too (ceroxol + tonatol EP)
and Oranazol on Jericho in funky but driving,
I guess he's one of those producers whose style you either love or hate?
yeah, i've seen him purely rock for a couple of hours (s*it hot!)
and i've seen him dissapear up his own arse in a flurry of pointless pioneer FX noodling,
:eh:
A lot of his tracks are awesome - His production skillz are mad and some of the stuff he writes is sublime.
yeah umek can be a bit tech housey sometimes
but he alsways turns up something good here and there.
i personally love his clr tracks
clr 02 and 04
fantasic 4 trackers of very minimal yet fast and avin it techno grooves
:clap:
Yeah CLR04 is my favourite Umek ep.Quote:

So what's his new stuff like?...
umek has done some wkd tunes,but yeh can be a bit samey, never heard him play out but hes at GGGathering so il find out no doubt.
:lol:
the new one on consumer recreation is awesome. stop start stop startin and bangin too...
keep it up uros... :clap:
i am really looking for an ep on a label called E-Com (not electracom) ...
the track is called effortil and is from 1998 ... absolute banger .... i was near suicide when a good freind of mine found it for 2€ in a hidden countryside record shop, 5 minutes driving far from my parents'
