Goldfrapp: Ooh La La


Goldfrapp: Ooh La La
Label: Mute Records Ltd.
Format: CD, Maxi-Single, Promo
Country: UK
Released: Jul 2005
Genre: Electronic
Style: Electro, Synth-pop
Mixed By - Mark "Spike" Stent
From: svenge

I thought this sounded very similiar to the Timelords (KLF) - Doctorin' The Tardis. It uses a glitter beat and has a similiar sound. Not too surprising considering Mark "Spike" Stent mixed both of them. The Brits do seem to like mixing Glitter beats with synth-pop.

Jeff Mills - The Bells


Jeff Mills - The Bells
Label: Purpose Maker
Catalog#: PM-020
Format: Vinyl, 12"
Country: US
Released: 03 Feb 2006
Genre: Electronic
Style: Tribal, Techno
From: BelfastPlayBoy

In going on to create his own music Jeff Mills is credited with laying the foundations for legendary Detroit Techno collective, Underground Resistance, alongside 'Mad' Mike Banks, a former Parliament bass player. Just like Public Enemy did some years before in hip hop, these men confronted the mainstream music industry with revolutionary rhetoric. Dressed in uniforms with skimasks and black combat suits, they were ‘men on a mission’, aiming at giving techno more content and meaning.

Mills would never leave UR officially, but later on he still went his own way. He moved to New York and after a short stay in Berlin (Tresor) ended up in Chicago. There in 1992, with Robert Hood, he set up his most important record label, Axis, aiming for a simpler more minimal sound than most of the techno being produced in those years.Later sub-labels were announced Purposemaker, Tomorrow, and 6277. - wikipedia

Format: CD, Album
Country: UK
Released: 15 May 2006
Genre: Electronic
Style: Dubstep, Abstract, Downtempo
Credits: Engineer - Kode9
from: tognaccini

Deep, lyrical and wet with electronic soul, Burials self titled album has to be the best electronic album of 2006. Burials programming skills are unquestioned and I think he has some of the best hi-hat patterns going. In this track he uses the sample of a gun being cocked as part of the hi-hat track. If you haven't heard the album you can check out another few tracks on the BBC website HERE.
