Summer is sprung
Greetings from Planet MUTEK. I won't be posting much for a few days (like that's anything new), but in the meantime, tide yourself over with a new mix thrown together while I waited for the taxi on Saturday. 68 minutes of electro-house, microhouse, macrohouse, and a little bit of disco for good measure: it's called Geminimix, and you can download it here.
(Let me know if there are problems with it... I can't get the page to display properly for me, but others tell me it works. Damn Mac Homepage...)

Posted by: colin nagy at June 1, 2005 08:37 PMhmm won't work for me for some reason! nothing happens when I click on the download part.
Posted by: Ronan at June 2, 2005 05:33 AMtry again, it's working for me.... are you on a PC?
Posted by: philip at June 2, 2005 06:22 AMgreat mix, philip. is there a track listing for it?
Are you covering MUTEK for Pitchfork likewise? If so, it'd be cool if you could tell the "real story" about the fest, so PFM can sell the rights to Fox for a TV movie. I need the extra Moo-lala.
Posted by: at June 3, 2005 06:29 PMI've been kinda down about not being able to attend this year ... I've been avoiding your blog so that I don't think about what I'm missing :)
I hope you're having a wicked time (the finale is happening as I type this!).

Posted by: nicole at June 12, 2005 03:43 PMHi Philip, just read your review on Slum Dunk presents Funk Carioca on Wire. If it is not a mix what is it then?? Did you really hear it? fragments of electronic salsa?? sorry ... maybe you had too much Campari in Miami. And just for the record this compilation was released last year (almost one year ago). Funk Carioca has been around England for more than 3 years where there's a radio show on Resonance Fm called Slum (with U) Dunk. Stop being so patronising & anglocentric in relation to the style and the artists... We, the savages, have been around for while... when quoting my friend Deise Tigrona, do it properly as well. It'd would be more honest of you to mention that MIA and Diplo sampled the processed horns from her track which is in this compilation.
Do you wanna show to people that you know the style or do you really want to talk about Funk Carioca?
Keep an eye cos The Savages might not have first world passports but they do know how to make good macumba.
And speak the language!
The Savages from Slum Dunk crew
