That tune from the Manchester Gig this month

He didnt play this at Sandsifter. But he did play something I definitely hadn't heard. Strangely, at the time I didn't even know he was DJing. It was really smokey so it was hard to tell. This track dropped, and it was blatantly his. Most people danced through the whole set thinking he wasn't even going to show up. Shame about that Manchester track though.

Fancy posting a full review of the night? I'm sure it would be interesting to all.

It's truly excellent. Sounds Plaid-ish to me as well (probably not to anyone else though).

no man this really sound Plaidsy to me too. sounds much more like a Plaid track then an AFX one.

edit; oh wait, if people think its Plaid it automatically becomes boring. forget we said anything.

Sand Sifter

Nice isolated bar just along from Gwithian Beach. Well out of the way. Full Moon. Lots of cars with a strange festival atmosphere. Everyone was there for the right reasons, they had made the effort. Nice heated smoking area with those red lights which people huddle under. Very friendy atmosphere, whisperings of a ginger protagonist. Free Rephlex badges on entry. Excellent. Real mix of people, all the old ravers were out in force. Not many people under 20. The place was buzzing. Saw Grant WC at the bar looking scary. Mean looking guy. Reseraunt area was filled with elderly pissed off locals who couldn't have booked a worse night. Through to the back, main room. Red decor. Bar. We arrived in the middle of an old house/acid set, I got a glimpse into the DJ area and it was one of several chaps in Rephlex regalia. Later there was a brief spell of funk and then old skool rave and more acid. During this time I drank copiously and danced like a monkey. Next was Grant WC, excellent set. By now people were pretty much going nuts and it was getting hot, lots of speculation circulating. The DJ area was deep set and covered with camo netting (original). In front of that was a smoke machine and a big red Rephlex logo. There were Braindance balloons too. Much helium banter. At some point at roughly 1am Hello Meow dropped, many went ballistic and some were clapping. Now I thought that maybe there were lots of Squarepusher heads there, and it is a tune, but I think that in fact a few people had spotted something... I however, was having too much fun. Drum and bass, jungle, acid, gabber, some vitalic in there too, current value, and the last three track were beautiful. I cant be of much use as to the specifics, all I can really do is set the scene. I think I probably overdid it, but it was a really well put together night in a great place with great people. I was distracted most of the time and if they didnt want to be seen I was happy to oblige and have some fun, you could tell that was what they were going for. Managed to stop GWC at the end and put in a few grateful comments, he turned out to be safe as fuck. So most people saw AFX without actually seeing him I think.

Cant wait for the next one, just what Cornwall needs.

:(

If you liked the bass on that tune then check this out looks like this is where it may have come from, wish I could take credit for the spot, but unfortunately I just read it in the comments:

Apologies all for the digression.

Anyways, to take it back to discussion about this "Manchester tune" I still love it (as do many), and I think that love is yet increased by the fact that I simply can't have it!

Firstly, not sure if this has been mentioned before or not, but the end of this video includes about 40 seconds of this tune that's not included in the attached mp3. Basically for you purists out there!

Secondly, just bumping this again as the tune is simply the business.

Edit = added video link, like a mug forgot to add it, oopppsss.

wait. what's that choir sounding noise at 2.05 & 2.12. "aaaaaah.."

man i'd kill for a good quality recording of this!

Not much of a difference and it won't get rid of the crowd either, obviously, but adding "&fmt=18" to the youtube-address of the vid it's been ripped from leads you to the mp4-version of it. The audio bitrate will then be 128 instead of the usual 64.

Let's keep bumping the thread till the track gets released.

 

This track is like the Aphex version of Do You Know Squarepusher - it's like a smorgasbord of cool Aphexisms

zomg is that a real thing?
