Fabric 60 by Dave Clarke

“The most shocking thing about this mix from legendary techno DJ/producer Dave Clarke is that it’s his first for Fabric. So was it worth the wait? Certainly, it shows Clarke at his defiant best, effortlessly joining the dots between sci-fi electro and intense, darkroom techno with a smattering of sublime Detroitian moments thrown in.” — juno.co.uk

Customize your Mac OS X dock

Sun, 03 Jul 2011 21:35:00 -0300

Although the Mac OS X default look is clean and polished, sometimes I feel that it could be better. Fortunately, there are several ways to customize and refine your OS X appearance, including the dock.

IconPaper has a beautiful gallery of dock themes, icons, wallpapers and other tweaks for your Mac. You can find some great stuff at DeviantART too.

To change the theme and icons of the Mac OS X dock, you will need CandyBar or IconBox. To add spaces to separate groups of applications in the dock, you can use the free application SuperDocker.

The dock theme used in the above picture is Obsidian, one of my favorites.

Brazilian duo Glocal presents Ghost City, a technical melancholiac look to the ruins of Detroit city.

“Industrial capital of the XXth Century, Detroit played a fundamental role shaping the modern world. The logic that created the city also destroyed it. Nowadays, unlike anywhere else, the city’s ruins are not isolated details in the urban environment.”

Daft Punk itself produced the soundtrack of the TRON Legacy movie. And it is awesome! The sounds are very hi-tech and futuristic. This one is my favorite track.

Fabric 13, mixed by Michael Mayer and released in 2003, tells a delightful story using a sublime selection of tracks, from classic house to tech/acid house. The artist describes his work in the following manner:

“This doesn’t really represent a club set: I prefer mix CDs to use personal records that tell you a story. DJing for me is not about impressing people with technical skills. My aim is to tell a story by using tracks like sentences spoken one after the other. It’s a sequence or a narrative. The only thing I pre-determine is that I play 4/4. The rest happens by accident. I love to warm up and take my time to get in to it, to take people with me. At the end I love to play songs and some things you can whistle on the way home.”

The 10th volume of the famous Fabric series, mixed by Doc Martin and released in 2003, is “a late night blend of basement shaking vibes”.

I consider this the best part of the mix. It starts with the minimal and hypnotic Return Of The Ghost remix of the classic Stucco Homes, by Brett Johnson and Dave Barker. Following seamlessly comes the delightful Just Us, by Sublevel. Next, one of my favorites tracks ever, the acid Highlights from DJ Buck - a dancefloor killer.

This track is very unique. It mixes techno and electro in a very deep, futuristic, hi-tech fashion.

It was released as part of the Brazilian Gigolo album, mixed by Renato Ratier and published under the International Deejay Gigolo Records label.

The track was also featured as soundtrack of the D-EDGE club website, a few years ago.

Glitch is the featured track of Brian Eno’s forthcoming album, Drums Between the Bells, to be released on Warp Records.
