October 2007 Charts

Got some meron pan, chocolate mushrooms, C.C. Lemon and Hi-Chew here, ready to do this.

1. Radiohead - In Rainbows [inrainbows.com?]
I think I've said enough about this, but it's a great LP; some really beautiful tracks here.

2. Gaiser - Withdrawal [M_nus]
Anyone who's been near me this month has heard this one, now finally out on Jon Gaiser's double pack 'Eye Contact' this month. A classic all throughout the summer.

3. Calibre - Thoughtless [Digital Soundboy]
Probably my favorite drum and bass producer right now, Calibre returns with a great single on Digital Soundboy, who earlier released the massive 'Clarendon'. 'Thoughtless' is even better, spouting a really great bassline and some laid back keys and pads.

4. Boys Noize - Oi Oi Oi [Boys Noize]
Noisy as hell, and I wouldn't want it any other way. '&Down' of course, but others such as 'Shine Shine' and 'Arcade Robot' are just as good.

5. High Contrast - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang [Hospital]
'Tough Guys Don't Dance' is an amazing LP, and this is probably the best track on it. That snare hit kills me every time.

6. Chloe - The Waiting Room [Kill the DJ]
A dark and cold LP from Chloe here, and her first, I believe.

7. Ellen Allien - Go [BPitch Control]
Great new single from Frau Allien, both the original and Marcel Dettmann versions are great. It uses a sample from her very first release.

8. Gui Boratto - Matryoshka [Kompakt Extra]
Fantastic. This track is absolutely mad, another hit for Gui.

9. Stimming - Funkworm [Diynamic]
Now on his own, Stimming comes through with this funky as hell track.

10. Marcus Worgull feat. Mr White - Spellbound [Innervisions]
I feel like it's May namechecking Mr White, but here he is again, now on Innervisions. A great cut of deep house.

Digitalism...we missed them. We got there after they had ended their set, which was a huge disappointment. A fire alarm went off though and, waiting outside, we saw them just hanging outside. We gave them a hey and shook their hand, which was cool. I liked that they hung out outside with everyone rather than sitting in their bus or whatever.

EDIT: Adding a couple more.

11. Nu:Tone - System (Matrix + Futurebound Remix) [Hospital]
This just came out on promo, so I'll add it. Takes the amazing original and transforms it into a 3 AM slammer.

12. Tiger Stripes - Mad at Me[Get Physical]
His track for liebe*detail17 'Hooked' was a favorite back in June, and here is his release on Get Physical. Oh, and "Survivor" was the 2:22 track. Amazing.

13. Dave Gahan - Kingdom [Mute]
The original is moody, Depeche-y and glorious (very unlike Gahan's last solo outing). Booka Shade and Digitalism remixes make the whole thing even more fun.

14. Alter Ego - Why Not?! [Klang]
New LP from Alter Ego, and it's exactly what I wanted. Fluegel and Co. don't give us 'Rocker Pt. II' nor 'Geht's Noch? Pt. II', but it's still dirty, bleepy, great dance music.

15. Gregor Tresher - A Thousand Nights [Great Stuff]
A lot of LPs this time around, huh. Well, here he is with his first LP and, while some of the tracks here have been around for what seems like ages, they're still great. The new ones are all brimming with energy and Tresher's signature sound.
