punchy kicks and lots of swing

Post by tone-def »

Every time i listen to Akufen Quebec Nightclub i just think why isn't there more music as good as this. I just love how the kicks just punches though the mix and the amount of swing he uses.

Who on this forum is making punchy and groovy minimal house or techno? I want to listen, i need more music like this. I'm not only looking for minimal i like chicago, detroit, anything with a groove and a punchy kick.

Thanks

Not the best sound quality, these clips don't ro it much justice and the last track brown hawaï has been recorded at 33rpm when it should be played at 45.

Yeah i love that record so much.

saw him dj a few months, pretty fun, had seen him before and he hadnt been so good.

there is a live set from mutek 2002 that i think is so brilliant, really raw, but loads of fun.

But this guy is just the total opposite of a "punchy kick". Honestly, I can't stand the kicks in Melchior's music. They are totally absent. It's more a modest litte "pok pok" than a "boom boom". No drive, no energy.

I know I'm probably the only one on this board but I consider Melchior's contemporary productions highly overrated. I listened to his Perlon lp four times in record stores; I heard tracks of it on the floor, but I never found anything impressing in it.
