petroniaScissor Sisters - Electrobix
Fujiya & Miyagi - Elektro Karaoke
From the Turbo Studio Sessions Vol.3 double CD. This comp is lulz because about half these acts are way more famous now than they were at the time: Black Strobe, LCD Soundsystem, Chromeo - and here they are in 2002 making songs with "electro" in the title.
DJ Koze - Mariposa: the and the one below are my favorite tracks from Kompakt Total 8 (not counting the Gui Boratto remix because I had it already). I'm not quite sure how to describe it, actually... there's this pulsating trance motif, clatter like doors and windows slamming in the wind, and an overwhelming sense of menace.
Oxia - Not Sure: this is Speicher 50. At MUTEK Mayer used it to segue in from Gui Boratto's set (on what I later figured out was the 12"'s release date). Dark trance - I think it even charts as trance, not minimal. XD And so catchy.
Shackleton - Blood On My Hands: I'm too lazy to make up my own explanation, so here's the Wikipedia page on Dubstep. XD Will probably be to the late 00's what trip-hop was to the late 90's. When all's said and done you'll like it if you liked early Massive Attack.
This song is seriously awesome, not least because the entire bassline happens somewhere around 50Hz - if you play it on a crappy setup you'll actually NOT HEAR IT. (It only drops two minutes in; if in doubt, push the leftmost equalizer knob to the top.) Even when you hear it there's this sensation of strain, like you're picking the sound up with your diaphragm more than with your eardrums, and half the melody is disappearing into a range reserved for warning animals of impending seismic events. It's the oddest feeling in the world. XD
