TOR005 UMEK - LANICOR History, Studio Breakdown & Interview with: UMEK

[@rolimat100]

I still have in my memories Umek and Valentino Kanzyani sets in Granada, Spain. I still love techno 20 years later because of you guys... Real djs mixing vinyls as if were easy without any poses. Thank for all those incredible moments

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

amazing! yes those times were the best!

[@JayBurton-v6k]

What a track!! Driving, dark, winding techno!!!🥶 one of my favourite tracks!!!🔥

[@LobBazar]

I was 6 years old when this song came out. It's so dope this song is popular amongst my peers right now.

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

Awesome!

[@JosipGruby]

Umek,Lanicor, and his set from i love techno 2001 was main reason for me to start listening techno and Dj-ing. Recently i bought audio interface from him. In the late 90s and early 00s he was big star in my country(Croatia). For me he is one of the GOATs in techno music.

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

That's awesome. He is the OG GOAT of the Balkans for sure!

[@Yannick_84]

ja man geil, das set hatte es mir damals auch angetan... lief nen jahr lang auf tape im walkman, gab ja noch keine mp3 player 😂

[@JayBurton-v6k]

Adam Beyer played it at the Orbit on the Toutured records tour bk in 2000. When techno was at its best in my opinion

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

@@JayBurton-v6k agree!

[@JayBurton-v6k]

@@AgentOrangeTheDJ yeah if you listen to like Adam Beyer now compared to late 90’s it’s like two different DJs! Marco Carola aswell! They sold their souls to Ibiza 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@matthenley3886]

Over 20 years old and it still sounds amazing today! If I’m ever lagging towards the end of a run I just stick this on, always gets me going!

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

its so timeless for real

[@Martin_Bundsen]

Would be super nice if you did Alexander Kowalski - Speaker Attack 😬🥳

[@fergzmack6963]

I’d like too see another one of theses sessions maybe Jeff mills the bells

[@nuraH1]

You should do making of Space DJz ‎- AK-47

[@shoshco]

Hey dude. What an excellent episode. Really pleased to have discovered your show. This is the kind of content that has gotten me back into spinning tunes once again. I haven’t had a set of decks, now controller, for 23 years. I’m loving the sounds and ideas coming out these days. I love the way techno has evolved over time. If you’re interested in covering a track how about, Circus Bells by Robert Armani, or no doubt this has been done or in the pipeline, Energy Flash by JB.

[@Flashback_Jack]

A touch more velocity on those notes and it'll be close to perfect.

[@AWJD79]

Love Larnicor such a good peak time track, heard it many time back in the day at Orbit and Atomic Jam 🤘

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

So sick, I wish I could have witnessed the UK at that time!

[@foodstampz]

Another awesome episode..thanks again Agent Orange !

[@JayBurton-v6k]

Which surgeon tracks he speaking about on Downwards? Magnese??🤔

[@Dorbachov]

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

Hey man tnx!

[@ingek8307]

Fantastic video 🙌😊

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

tnx man!

[@LuccaMasterson]

I give my right testicle that Lanicor has a second layer of synth with low notes. I mean, Umek was famous for layering massive synth sounds, just like in Gatex. Also, in Monark, you should cut the lenght of first 2 synth notes, because they are overlapping and adding that swing effect where it should not be. And I really strongly belive that, back then, Umek did not mess with the swing effect - rather another layer of synth sound, because the longer you hear it, it becomes more reasonable that there is a secondary melody that follows out through the background of the main synth of the entire track, just like in Gatex. And Valentino Kanzyani did the same thing back in 2003/04 with the hit track "Learning how to do it" - i belive that was their Consumer Recreation label signature sound.

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

Hey Luka, great analysis! According to UMEK, it was made with only the Waldorf Pulse and heavy use of glide and no one has really ever been able to re-create it perfectly since (unless he isn't trying to give away all the secrects? I wouldn't blame him! haha). I think if you pitch the 3 oscillators one low, one mid, and one high you can get a full enough sound that reveals different octave ranges with the changing of the VCF over time and keeps the sound shifting enough to sound like it's layered. If anything was layered, I swear I do hear a high string come in at some points in the track playing the same pattern? Also when I added the MS-1 at the end it did seem to get a little fuller and closer to the original. "Learning how to do it" was nice. Gatex was a different beast for sure and also an amazing classic!

[@Alavux]

There's sub bass(oscillator) or something low passed and is in conjunction with low tom

[@Alavux]

@@AgentOrangeTheDJ i think you missed release time on adsr envelope and bit of a delay

[@LuccaMasterson]

@@AgentOrangeTheDJ I might try that with my Roland SE-02. BTW Love your channel!!!

[@urosumek8730]

@@AgentOrangeTheDJ I checked again and there is for sure 2 nd leyer-bass .Luka is right

Hey Owen, been a while, tnx!

[@rochem8ack]

Would love to see surgeon la real ❤❤❤❤

[@JayBurton-v6k]

Wicked track but it’d be easier (I’m guessing) to recreate than Lanicor. Its mainly claps and kicks

[@foodstampz]

Would love a link to the loopmasters sample pack.

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

Great idea! I will add it and here you go: www.loopmasters.com/genres/40-Techno/products/11701-Umek-Techno-Foundations

[@bionic909]

Did he just say he started off playing Acid Techno?

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

I think he said he would play a bit of whatever electronic music that he could get his hands on because there was very little access to that stuff in Yugoslavia, Acid Techno was probably in there. :)

[@pero50nfs]

only 2 guy made it in music history: fela kuti make AFRO beat umek make BALKAN BEAT

[@AgentOrangeTheDJ]

@@pero50nfs haha awesome

[@andredeketeleastutecomplex]

C.Smidt's version is really faint, I would never play it. I played Umek's original at least a 100 times though, goes to show, I ain't no fanboy, but good is good.
