What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Mingus feeling happy.



The Third Man: 'Before We Begin' (Ai) This is deep four to floor techno/house, well produced with all the key references: warm washes and keyboard lines, driving beats, handclaps that utilise all the right presets provided by Mr Roland and others.I'm guesssing the third man is of Scots origin, with titles referencing the Lothian region. That said, this collection fits rather neatly next to Pub's outer edge textures. If you like classic Tech/House producers like Robert Hood etc or the sort of stuff still creeping out of Berlin and Detroit then you'll like this full sounding dancefloor aimed missive. Nowt groundbreaking, just well crafted with depth and pinpoit clarity of approach.

What the label says:

BIOG - AI Press Release:

"Although The Third Man (Toby Leeming, 26) is a born and bred Londoner, his musical roots lie in Scotland where he lived for 4 years whilst studying at University. During this time he met dj’s, producers and promoters and not happy just watching others ply their trade he started to teach himself how to dj. On borrowing a friends laptop with a copy of Reason on he began to explore the capabilities of music programming and digital sounds.

Surrounded by regular techno nights featuring the likes of Stephen Brown, Neil Landstrumm, DJ Rolando and many more his taste was very much slanted towards all things techno and particularly the classic Detroit sounds. However after many all night trips to the Arches, it became apparent that north of the border people liked their music that little bit harder and this was something he couldn’t resist embracing taking to the more industrial sounds of Surgeon, Monolake and minimalist legends such as Robert Hood and Jeff Mills.

About the humble 12":

The 12" is the big brother of records as it's an fatter version of the 7", with a vast scope for an array of remixes and B sides. They are slightly less portable their smaller inched brethren but they're by no means inferior. Often the grooves are spaced wider apart and thus sound much much better. You can fit ample tracks on and if worse comes to worse they make fine plates (should your crockery go awol). Yes, there's a hole but holes are easy to sort out. Once again they're available on many different colours and guises. The best thing about a 12" is the potential vastness of the artwork. Also playable on many speeds!!
