808 State Discussion

hey 808'ers.. McBain here alive and kicking. Great to see the forum is still alive, sorry for kinda fizzling out on you lot!

I have Markus on fb and still kept an eye on 808state.com, and of course I bought all the remaster doubles.

I'm going down to Inigo2 tonight for the Orb/Lone/808djs gig ...

I went to Wanging Revival Pt.1 featuring Squarepusher. The venue is a bit sweat box (I know some of you nutters will probably like that mind) but acoustically great. Squarepusher did an hour or so's DJ set then reached for his bass and drum machine to thrash out remixed versions of some of his ...

Apologies if it's already been posted on the forums, but here's a little
808 state name that tune test..

needless to say, McB scored 10/10.. hehe.

I'd expect the same from most of you guys.
Cheers

ps Markus - Dyer back on ...

Had to come back from the dead for this post. Sunrise..
pretty much embodies what 808 means to me. It's great to read
people still talking about it. What a tune, what a feeling.. (whacks
it on full blast in the office )

Hiya All,

An old school friend of mine co-owns snowbombing, and he told me today
that 808 only just confirmed their headline at Snowbombing yesterday.
I've sent an official flyer-email to Markus so I guess he may take the info
on that and create a 808 live page. I've been tempted to go to ...

Hiya Weunice,

I also was out looking for Baton Rouge for quite a while too. The only way I finally got to hear it was downloading it via AudioGalaxy.
Although in the harsh eyes of the copywriter this is piracy, I would have willing paid the dosh to buy it had I been able to find it out in the ...

(bit late on the uptake with this one)

Great tune! I must admit I was taken by moors, but oasis sounds really good. I thought I recognised a few things, def. something from Jerusahat in there as graham says. It re-awakened that early don solaris feel for sure.

Loved the timing of the post too ...

Hi Stephen,

Got to say first of all, my info for you here is half a decade out of date, as I moved away from Manc about 5 years ago. I'm still posting some chat though cos I believe that Manc will always have a strong underground, just something about the place, the mix of cultures ..

When I lived ...

Firstly, Hi Mari, welcome to GlobalState.. the last best hope for Humankind.

Secondly, to back Markus up, we wanna hear all about any nipponi-808 related news lol, 808 def. have strong ties over your way, you can see that from all the extra stuff that's been released.

Finally, well I've got myself ...

Hot Damn, Eat the Beat, In Yerrrr Face Wi-hoo!!!

I've been away at a Wedding this weekend in Hampshire, just logged on and read the good news *schweeet*.

I've got loads of mates in Manc already so crashing up there won't a problem for me (3 years @ uni there). Will keep an eye on the
messageboard ...

Sigh.
Sigh.
Sigh.

Why so late in the day, 808?
I've already bought my ticket to Essential Festival @ Hackney Marshes, on the same day, Aug. 3rd. What a complete gutting clash.
Sigh.

Well done PAT, I hope the game
sells well .. love the planet theme
on the website, v. cool indeed.

I've just been to the 'Game On' Exhibition at the London Barbican centre. Over 150 classic games all playable, from just about every genre you can imagine, on Arcade, Console, PC.. If you are going to be around london anytime up till Sept. 15th, I totally recommend you check this out!

website ...

.. but still, getting through to the 1/4 finals of the WC is a great achievement.

To be honest I thought half the squad looked knackered, inc. the toon's star Dyer, just didn't seem to have any real drive.

Only 4 years to go now till the next chance eh lads ..
