Tuesday Techno Fix, 4/14/09

April 13, 2009

The world lost a baseball legend today with the passing of Harry Kalas. Kalas was probably my personal favorite announcer and arguably the second most important baseball announcer outside of Dodgers great Vin Scully. I’ve always had a beef with the Phillies and Philadelphia in general (I’m still not over 4th and 26), but there was nothing cooler than listening to Kalas slowly and dramatically boom, “struck him out,” or call Jimmy Rollins “J-Roll.” At least he got to see his team win a World Series the year before he passed.

Now on with Tuesday Techno.

This doesn’t really count as techno, but it’s awesome nevertheless. Watch this video.

This ThruYou dude has an entire website and album dedicated to remixing youtube videos and making awesome hits based off of things he found. My first impression among hearing this was, “oh man, this is pretty cool, but mostly just quirky,” but after thinking about it this guy is totally legitimate and creating music out of youtube videos is something nobody’s ever thought of before and is exactly the same as taking song pieces and crunching them together. They’re musical artists one in the same.

DJ Mani released a live set. This one’s from about a month ago — but it’s pretty darn good.

Anton Banks’ radio show called “The Vault” was recorded and released online. There’s a nifty little set list here…

Cuole De Song released a mix that’s worth a download.

IDM

Here is a mix by AA21 (I think?) that’s not really all that great in my opinion but you might like it.

Blamstrain remixed one of my personal favorite albums Ensi and released it via youtube links. Above is a link to my favorite song off the CD — to view the full album list, click here.

More to come next week!
