Danny Wang and HMC in Adelaide

[suenomartino]

It's been posted elsewhere on ITM but thought I'd put it here for anyone who hasn't grabbed it yet.

4 hours or so, HMC first and then Danny for the last few hours:

Danny Wang's old release on Balihu is out now.

[djbrevil]

Oh HMC.. after all these years ,still my favorite OZ dj..

had the pleasure of locating myself in Adelaide mid/late 90,s for a few years.
FAD parties and of cause dirty house parties were unbelievable.

Great track but Danny is just one of many who have been jamming that Magic for years.

Does he ever play in Sydney? All these Australians I know with interesting taste in music seem to have been influenced by him...love to hear him spin sometime.

He fucking rocks!

nice.
like who?

[julienlove]

anyone know what danny sampled for 'GET UP GET UP' its still beyond me. fuck it makes me wet.

[djbrevil]

HMC i believe does not like flying..
Racket set in 2001ish was only small example of his skills..
Best at House & Tech, but you can really loose yourself to his early morning disco sets .

nice.
like who?

Dan Balis from Escort; Ulysses, John Selway, and more :) All before Danny was really Djing in NYC.

[jazam]

i hrd escort DJ on tim sweeney's beats in space.

i have to say,,, i was pretty dissapointed... the odd nice tunes, but horrible flow and lots of overthetopness...

[julienlove]

let's focus on the good side of things :) time and a place for everything?

[suenomartino]

Sorry guys looks like that link is down again :(

[simonfromuk]

yeah, HMC doesn't fly basically, he's the Morgan Geist of Australia...

we had a plan to fly down to adelaide, rent an RV and kidnap him to come play in Sydney... maybe it's time to revive that plan...

[Underdog]

just give him a shot and bundle him onto a flight in a Mr T / "Aint gettin` on no plane fool" kinda fashion

by the way did anyone download and care to share it with moi?

[Freshie]

Yeah Danny Wang love please, I've only heard his Echo To Midnight track, which I usually have on repeat

well his first, and well sought after, EP has jus been re-released:

[Phil Collins]

I'm a big fan of this EP, featuring Danny rockin the theramin:

and this one has this dope acid line combined with Danny's signature sleazy electronic disco style:

In the last 7 years he's played here 3 times from memory. Twice at Racket and once at a one off party out at the Newtown Jets club at Tempe.

He doesn't like flying, so getting him anywhere is a little difficult.

Yeah I love that one too.

James is standing next to me rabbiting on about theramins now and wondering if you or mikey know how to build one. Jebus.

[JJ-James]

actually HMC played back in 2000 at 'Cyberotica Technotica' on mardi gras weekend at that venue underneath angel place... from memory kazu kimura also played that night.... a really great night from what i can still remember of it!

re: Danny Wang's "Nocturnes"... in the case of 'Black Boots and Sine Waves'... while Danny didnt sample anything for the record he recreated the baseline from:

http://www.discogs.com/release/245931

... a real nice slice of early 80s dubby disco/proto/electrofunk

[jazam]

thats my favourite danny wang rekid.!.

sublime

[jazam]

in regards to Danny Wang.

when he says he doesnt use samples
he doesnt sample any1 else.
...

But does he sample himself? ie. sample a drum loop hes made etc.? or loop a synth line hes made?

or does he play everyhting by hand for the whole traxx?

cos his more recent traxx sound much more loop orientated than the Environ stuff

He started out using samples and loops from other tracks, but I think the point he's trying to make is that now he makes all-original compositions. Which could include samples of his own drum programming and keyboard sounds... but from the sound of his most recent OG work (the collabs with Kaos and the 'Higashiyama No Autumn' track on Jetset) it sounds like he's writing original sequences using sounds from keyboards/soft-synths/modules and his own drum tracks.

[calico]

a friend of mine put a theramin together one night at frigid - byo soldering kit

This idea that samples make a track less "original" is a shaky one I think particularly in the context of house and disco. How you make a sound is less interesting to me than the sound itself. Danny makes great tracks but he does yammer on a bit :)

[julienlove]

still, anyone know what he used for get up get up.. for some reason im thinking tyrone davis maybe?

[jazam]

^^^ yes.

even lookin at Danny's body of work -

there is such a different feel and emotion being conveyed post balihu.
arguably it could be said that it sounds morre like HIM.

stuff like 'Get Up', 'Like Some Dream...' sounds like it coulda come from moodymann, piranahead etc...

[WINGZ]

I can go and see HMC whenever i want :haha:

Def agree! :) House and disco is built on samples/influences.
... and Danny always gives good press.

[Gregama]

Yeah, but its not much compensation for living in Adelaide :P

[suenomartino]

Balihu 001 came before KDJ ;)

[jazam]

^^^ i didnt know that!!! wow!

yeah... but thats not my point >>> my point is that rekid sounds like a vast number of ppl could have made it...
