LANICOR
i know a lot of criticism has been levelled at the guy from the techno fraternity, but jesus christ, wot a track..
'classic' doesnt do it justice in my opinion.. up there with Slaters take on Forklift

From a very objective point of view.....
I have never been a fan so to speak, not even the voices of africa project did anything for me.
He could dj his ass of though....

I have 7 - 9 and it wasnt great at all, that broken beat type track he did on nova mute, with the big organ, that was great!

i can be very critical of Umek but Lanicor is a beltin track imo...
Brotax was another..
i'm not a big fan but every now & again i hear L or B and think... 'that rolls'
i still think he made an arse of his 'House F**ker Remix', but L & B are amazin...
BUT, just an opinio. he is no doubt a more capable dj than i'll ever be, but for me ? those 2 trax NEVER fail

i spose you could get bored of it after a few minutes but ive heard umek use it off 3 decks and it sounds really decent.

creoxol is another top umek tune. It's a shame with umek, he's a wicked dj technically but he's started playing shit tunes.
maily
09-09-2004, 04:06 PM
he is a shit hot dj,
but,
he goes waaaay too OTT with the effects,
Oi Umek, stop it with the five minute feedback wanking sessions will ya :rambo:
brotax all the way.
beast of a tune :twisted:
Eddie
09-09-2004, 06:50 PM
Technically he is a good dj, tune selection leaves alot to be desired tho, he used to be shit hot in 2000-01 (both production and djin) But somewhere along the way he lost the plot a bit
Frank Dogshit
09-09-2004, 06:58 PM
he was awful at gkgg(as were most of the djs) a really uninspiring set of housey loopy stuff. his mixing wasnt up to much either from what i can remember which is quite suprising as he can usually pull it off quite well.
i heard a set of his from timewarp last year the other week and the mixing is turd on that too.
he is a shit hot dj,
but,
he goes waaaay too OTT with the effects,
Oi Umek, stop it with the five minute feedback wanking sessions will ya :rambo:
yep, ive never seen him play but i know he is capable of using 4 decks. as for the FX...your right, way over the top.

hey
clr 02 and 04
don't forget these . i played them both to death!
saw him at system ( a realy cool club run by marco carola in town on thursdays a while back ) and he was pretty hot.
mind you i was sooo drunk.......... :oops:

I agree - awesome DJ and producer.
Especially Lanicor, Brotax, Consumer Rec, Ceroxol, Difolvon, Nordlocnost etc.
But way too much on the EFX and a little boring lately???
Is that a fair statement? :clap:

OMG i hate this one. I've even put a sticker "don't spin!" on this side of the record...
I like most of his production made from 98-99. Then he stareted making stuff that i didn't like at all....even hated...(with some exceptions like potential 11 - although gatex was made back in 98...)
what's up with the names of his tracks? They sound like 15th century viking soldiers or some shit

another Umek topic...
how observant of you
it was all for medicinal purposes.
aah cool :cool: thank you for easing my pain. it all makes sense now. This calls for a celebration....I feel so dumb right about now.
I'm goin throught my pharmacy by mail catalogue right now lookin for other cool names for future umek tracks. It's kinda fun. Here r a few of my favs.....
a) Loceryl (nail lacquer kit)
b) Pevaryl
c) Voltaren (rapid 25mg)
d) Ciproxin
e) Coversyl
Not bad eh? (this could go on for days......)

18-09-2004, 12:38 AM
heres a few more to add to the list :lol:
A:- Co-dydramole
B:- Oxytetracycline
C:- Cerumol
D:- Motilium
E:- Cetirizine
As for Umek, I think he's a quality producer & DJ. Ok he does go overboard on the fx (but im sure everyone with a DJM600 has found themselves doing the same thing)
I like most of his productions, Brotax is probabbly my favourite tune, but I also like most of his mumps shit & his recycled loops stuff.
Its hard to find a producer who has produced so many completly varried tunes. Some of Umeks productions work and some dont but at least hes brave enough not to stick to the same style and experiment a bit

Those Zeta Reticula records on Electrix are awesome! :clap:
Inquisitor

Zeta Reticula and some stuff on Absense and early CR, and then he didnt go "Housey" but simply shite. Even the new darkish or, wutever u wanna call it, approach on new CR is very boring after a careful listening. The Borique Tribez stuff is a complete disgrace. And i havent heard a decent set by the guy in a few years.
He made a very nice move with bringing back electro nights to my local club this season tho, his electro sets have a mad tracklisting.

Love his stuff on expire, zet, E-com, absense and PRR.
Raw, simple and industrial shit.
