House & Techno Bobbins 2017

Amorf3, the collaboration between SIT and pianist Mischa Blanos still unreleased, some time later this year. Still no official clips of it, but here's a couple of clips of it out in the wild last year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2cUw6o5oy4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6_HSo28wgA

one for summer, or mid spring

and one from Martyné & Jacob on Rue de Plaisance as well, for right now

it's like he took levon vincent and put a donk on it

this one is crazy too

sadly as a whole the 12s are pretty uneven

Just bought the entire discography of some Portuguese dude named Relapso:

Currently listening to the three Echo EPs, with Mirage up next.

I really liked Grant's Cranks LP from last year on Mork
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsXKPPFCOsU

I like the second track on this axe on wax, touches of "thats my yes".possibly a late great type of record

https://soundcloud.com/axeonwax-records/axtx004-rvl-rvl-001-ep-out-soon

how to do pastiche so well it doesn't matter, by the black madonna

https://soundcloud.com/theblackmadonna/theblackmadonna_heisthevoiceihear

black madonna is batting 1000 rn

I really like The Black Madonna as a force within dance music and her presence feels vital when so much of the culture is being dominated by white straight men. But I wish I liked her music as much as I like her politics.

what's not to like about super competent disco edits?

I mean in theory I like the idea of something that sounds like "He Is The Voice..." but it comes off a little too studied and forced. Compared to something like eg Floorplan's "Tell You No Lie" there's a lack of a certain kind of ramshackle energy.

"Exodus" is the one that really leaves me cold, I think it manages to lose everything that makes the source material so joyful and uplifting.

yeah, longer 'he is the voice' goes on the more its ersatz inexpertise comes thru

i really liked "exodus"!

my hands-down favorite BM track is "we don't need no music" though

And the Rahaan video it's sampled from is still the most house thing ever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9CVglCTDnU

super cool! ty for posting that

some really great stuff on this allergy season/discwoman anti-trump charity comp

https://allergyseason.bandcamp.com/album/physically-sick

Good mix of familiar and unfamiliar names there, any particular highlights?

New Mood Hut Kinetic Electronix is predictably dope. DewDropInn was on that Mood Hut megamix from a while back, finally gets a release.

https://soundcloud.com/mood-hut/mh015-kinetic-electronix-music-for-beings

this is gonna be good

https://soundcloud.com/regelbau/rb06-previews

Second track is great!

on the regelbau record

and the third track too!

discussion of the new black madonna got quite heated in the RA comments box! first time i've ever seen an RA thread locked ...

new jus-ed album on the way, sounds sick

https://soundcloud.com/undergroundquality/sets/transition-lp

was the RA discussion about the black madonna's name? have long thought it was a dubious choice. i remember when i first heard of her squinting at photos thinking "well...maybe she's just very light-skinned...?"

has an ra comment thread ever been that progressive, ime the discourse is usually at the level of a shitty subreddit

some of the discussion was about her name, some of it was about whether she was an obnoxious person (i.e. is she too poltiical for her own good) and some of it was along the lines of this thread (are her tracks good pastiche or bad pastiche)

not sure why the thread was locked actually since it seemed pretty tame, i imagine there must have been some more offensive comments that got deleted

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Madonna

according to a professor of medieval art history i know (my sister) the question of whether the black madonna actually represents a black person has been in active debate for more than 500 years

so i guess i am willing to give her a pass?

why does black metal have so few black people

has an ra comment thread ever been that progressive, ime the discourse is usually at the level of a shitty subreddit

I was going to make an attempt to describe the discussion level, and this is pretty much perfect

the comments griping about chicago having better djs that aren't booked, etc, always straddles the line between a possible real complaint and people just making random accusations

it's like, is the commenter actually part of this scene or a dj and has failed to get booked at smart bar, or do they know someone who has been rejected, or are they just pissed because the black madonna gets booked other places instead of whatever dj they want to see

it reminds me of the classic complaints on local places where someone would ask "why are you booking this local guy again and not <insert international superstar dj>??"

like some street festival a decade ago booked talent from outside town using whatever ad money they got from the local scion car dealership and someone is asking why they didn't get tiesto

LOL was it omar-s? he was sponsored by scion for a minute

oh, most definitely not

this wasn't a festival sponsored by scion, this was a festival sponsored by *the local scion dealership*

I'll give them credit, they did get some reasonable names over the years, but there was a hard pivot from "90s d&b hangover" to "edm enthusiast" in their target audience

Never heard of this producer before, but came across Folamour's Chapeau Rouge the other day. LOVING this whole album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3hVhiag4S0

The fourth track on the regelbau record is really good too!

this sander baan record is quite charming, enjoying the table tennis feel!

https://soundcloud.com/veniceberg-records/every-light?

Ricardo Villalobos plays this one constantly, got a 4/5 on residentadvisor and he is actually a good friend of mine and he's releasing this one on Raum now so I have to share:

Sakro - no time to explain
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bnbj3fxoQwI

nice! congrats to your friend

sakro is dope

particularly enjoyed his houseworx releases

Loving this and the whole comp, but especially this.

man, i want to feel that, but slam poetry cadence is just

The bar stuff in the Navigation are always putting Mulen records on, can't really argue, he's a relentless lad though

The first two track from the And.rea record were my favourites of last year, but the rest of it tailed off. Hoping the new one has some magic too!

I've been really digging the new Fennec record:

New STL records soiunds exactly like a STL record, second track is reminiscent of something else though

https://soundcloud.com/smallville-records/smallville51-a2-stl-fade-the

did i ever mention that the porter ricks release from late last year, shadow boat, is pretty good?

It was referenced on this thread

Best track from the 2016 ILM EOY tracks poll that received only ONE top 3 weighted vote

I'll come back to that one, it sounded a bit manic (in context) when I played it the other day

porter ricks sounding manic! wonders never cease

New Carsten Jost album on Dial sounding nice on first listen.

Also, on the rougher side, this new Turinn release on Modern Love sounds promising. https://soundcloud.com/modernlove/turinn-18-12-minute-gaps

this is from last year but I am SO into this London-based Iranian producer Kasra V

Sadly Planet Giegling didn't visit my town, but there are a couple of radio shows they've done while on tour, incl. a spot on Dublab and RBMA radio (the file for the latter mix isn't online on their site yet).

No tracklist for this one, but the RBMA appears to have lots of unreleased (upcoming?) things on it so I'm hopeful the same goes for Dublab.

The first And.rea record was my favourite of last year, and didn't realize had only just turned 19!

the new one falls some way short, based on soundcloud snippet, but its growing a little

The return of Binaural, on Undersound London, LP out next month. A bit of a mixed bag, but this one is really good

I'd never heard of Reedale Rise before, great name! This is out next month first release on Where We Met, definitely buying a copy

https://soundcloud.com/user-855731257/b1-reedale-rise-plasma

enjoying that asc link, thanks lex!

I've just bought that ASC, thanks also!

Shanti Celeste, excellent as always

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXgpaBm_Mt4

Pretty!

He releases too many records so its easy to miss it when a good one comes out, but heres Tommy Vicari Jr downing a Thwaites in the Red Lion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZYL89qfuTo

Woozy!

shanti celeste is SOOOOOO good

i would be happy to own everything she's released

i've been playing the one she did on apron with funkineven ("SSS") a lot lately

omg wtf happened to me i just bought two records by "dj seinfeld"

i'm so ashamed next thing you know i'll be buying records by dj ross from friends

hahaha

Very nice indeed. Very much in the same vein as Pantha and Lawrence. No complaints.

New record from Geizz T, who I had never heard of before but has a new album on Lize records. One of those towpath type records, mud on the shoes, bit of an STL feeling right?

https://soundcloud.com/lize-records/geizz-t-groovefool-homebase-lize004

https://soundcloud.com/lize-records/geizz-t-zahava-homebase-lize004

still only the 4th release on Lize, thought they had done more

I hadnt heard any Lost Trax records before

One for the end of the day, but a bit of the next day starts to peep him, might as well stay for one more.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-l1_1uSUs0

yes

I passed on this one at first, but heard it again by chance in a mix which brought it out of its shell a bit more. Let the introverted records have their say too!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au3sAQkPnpc

anyone have any nyc picks as far as clubs/residents go? going to be around a few days in early April and might catch a night out

out of a desire to tweak my friend who very much came of age during the late 90s superstar dj era I'm tempted to see Sasha (lol) but that sounds like a hassle

Very pleasant

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXNlXX-_Amo

Doesn't look like Lizz is going to release any of the best tracks, this ones alright though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUUoDZTZTNo

So, the new Object is quite the populist banger.

https://soundcloud.com/keinobjekt/theme-from-q

Objekt, thanks autocorrect.

i'm so ashamed next thing you know i'll be buying records by dj ross from friends

from a sublabel of lobster theramin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=238&v=TDcYUcX5aHk

yeah I was not too into that release, especially as there is actually no in'n'out burger in balboa park

however the previews of the new one coming out on lobster theremin white label sounds ("don't sleep there are snakes") is sounding pretty good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgQTYuQfias

Not bad!

actually i did like this track, also off the EP brim stead linked

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBq7Lvzg3Zo

distant hawaii is a pretty dope label, i first got into them via this absolute rager of a slo-mo bobbin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYcunGCZ60s

martyne & jacob, its quite business card, maybe even suit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCDcH_2Cpn4

https://twitter.com/timmaughan/status/844604867272462337

i'm completely wowed by this: it's gorgeous, the rhythm is energetic, vox are undeniable, gets to this simple, epic place.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bqf8-YYBv8

Definitely lives up to the "Rising Sun" title.

rising sun is the producer i think, not familiar with him. sven weisemann is the remixer and his output is excellent, lush deep/dub house to the nth degree. this kind of thing can be a little sleepy sometimes but this one is just so compelling imo.

and i think it's robert owens with the vocals?

absolutely a 6:00 am track.

I love sven weisemann's work on the a.r.t.less and mob labels, will have to check this out

Lift Up Your Faces was good, and there was another one, will check this one out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVlVy_t0b2o

Shai Spooner & Jordan Dessar on Entity London, new label, and new (to me at least) artists

Bit of a skip in its step that one

I love sven weisemann's work on the a.r.t.less and mob labels, will have to check this out

MOJUBA not MOB

Love Rising Sun.

Its old enough to vote, and it voted yes

bid for blab: what does everyone think of the ross from friends stuff i posted?

i really think if he didn't have a stupid name he'd be getting a lot more attention

I liked it, and all the stuff on that label was pretty good: https://open.spotify.com/user/djisbister/playlist/1ZmP6DSReSoEJ2JlSDExQG

Kelly Lee Owens dropped her debut LP

i really think if he didn't have a stupid name he'd be getting a lot more attention

140K views!

I think the music sounds like an episode of Stranger Things

yes they have that washed out vhs aesthetic

It also sounds like when you are waiting for a bus near a bowling alley and there is some music inside.

I'm really looking forward to this Kelly Lee Owens, I loved her EP from last year

I think I'm gonna need some strong persuasion to listen to Ross From Friends given that every time I am drunk with a keyboard in my reach that is exactly what people compare me to

xpost one of my most transcendent music experiences as a young adult was in 1995 (i think ?) walking past a club with friends just after midnight and hearing basement jaxx's "flylife" come pounding through the walls

I like that muffled filtered sound a lot

see also

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg911LGGZYg

before getting into his current jazzy percussive phase kyle hall was doing some cool filtered disco edit stuff ("down", "crushed", "measure 2 measure", etc) and this stuff reminds me of a less hiccupy, more heavily filtered version of that sound

That one is not available in my country!

I've never really clicked with Jay Bliss but I've grown to like this track off the new album, has a 2pm at Fabric kind of feel where you're not sure which direction things are going to go in next

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iuVwKJygUA

saer the track is "empty" by hysterics (aka girl unit)

ross from friends is good

The Kelly Lee Owens is excellent, desserves its own thread for sure

I really like the new Ross From Friends.

pretty cool little video on Karlos Moran here https://vimeo.com/65041085

I quite like his ep and he seems like a nice kid https://soundcloud.com/klasserecordings/mmg001-karlos-moran

forthcoming voigtmann on Hello?Repeat

https://soundcloud.com/otg-distribution/a1-double-mind-reverse-snippet?in=otg-distribution/sets/hello028-voigtmann-double-mind-reverse-ep

That new Karlos Moran EP is good not just as functional tools but as an immersive listen, touches on lots of different strands in dance music but feels totally unified.

The new Harvey Sutherland EP is basically a fake Metro Area mini-album in the best possible way.

this is corny but I like it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIiKdhlF-MA

just bought this one, the sub is pretty great on it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6W7x0ItEKQ

if you play the he men track at the wrong speed it turns into a cool cosmic groover

conversely the interplanetary criminals track turns makes a great juke track pitched up

give it a try on 1.25x (which is a pretty good approximation of 33 → 45 -8)

That Interplanetary Criminal EP is the shit.

yep

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGp8sFObCn0

Marco Passarani with a nice sunny day house track

RA mostly. Also Boomkat

Effective cut-up funk and electro floor-filler.

it seems somewhat unnatural when there's product info in the review, kind of disjoint:

Some lovely moments on the Mr YT comp "Brand New Day". Mr YT is Japanese producer Yuji Technouchi apparently - not on my radar at all. This is a compilation of ep's that originally came out 97-98. Class.

Plenty of Mr YT on the bobbins of the past thread!

Ah ok must have missed it. Glad to hear there's been some bobbins recognition.

I can't find the Superpitcher thread, but his third 12'' is great as well. This album is shaping up to be a favorite.

The One and Only Superpitcher Thread

Yeah I've loved every Golden Ravedays 12" released so far. Perfect nocturnal listening.

I thought Markus Sommer's record was possibly the best record of last year (other than And.rea's). Nothing else has really touched that but I've got time for his remix on Syntax Society's release

Liking a lot more tracks from this thread this year than I did last year, and trying to figure out why (me? changes in musical trends? changes in who is posting what?), but I'm happy about it. Are the cognoscenti feeling this is an especially good year for house, or not really?

not particularly

Depends what it is that you like?

I don't think its an especially good year for house records at all! though there have been some stellar mixes which have put a spring in a step and a hope in a heart, but a lot of those records I don't know what they are - they might be old they might be new.

A lot of the good records from other years have had more time to emerge from the undergrowth! Not every one is out on the beach waving their ice cones around on day one

It could just be that I'm more receptive to it.

I don't feel too confident talking about the finer genre distinctions within house. I know I don't care for most jackin house. I'm sort of UK garage-centric but like a lot of deep house (but that also leaves a lot I don't like).

I dont know anything about genre distinctions and never talk about them, I only like records and also feeling genial

I'm being somewhat disingenuous - there are a couple of genre distinctions i adhere to. there are miscreants, but not all miscreants are the same, some are proper meat pie and others are more smoking behind the bikesheds. Those share some dna with cabin in the woods records but those have to be used sparingly, same as with canal dredgers - a little goes a long way. Then there are the convivial cap doffers, meadow vibes, you can play them over the tannoy at boundary park still today. and some records are just proper deckchair. Just a matter of time before bank holiday bill and the charnock richard boys turn up. this is what my record bag looks like

generally a mix of deckchair and miscreant is good but dont overthink it or you might miss your stop!

That said unfortunately most records are none of these things and are exercises in drudgery or a painful attack on the senses from people who would have been better off bullying children

Both recent hits in my town. Having said that there is plenty to avoid! Had the displeasure of seeing Jackmaster at Fabric this morning...

I'm not big on the idea of a year being good or bad for music. Seems like it has everything to do with what you happen to be exposed to, in relation to your tastes, and your tastes in relation to external factors like music discourse and age, and very little to do with the year itself. I realize this is implicit, but I still think it's annoying when people complain about the year when it's like, don't blame the calendar for your inability to find good records.

Had the displeasure of seeing Jackmaster at Fabric this morning...

Jesus man, what possessed you?

were you there for Mathew Jonson / Voigtmann?

What was the issue with Jackmaster at Fabric? Never seen him live but I didn't think he was bad?

This release is my top purchase from April http://www.juno.co.uk/products/blake-baxter-santonio-echols-eddie-fowlkes-four313/639875-01/

(For the perceptibly many of us without the vinyl) is it a generally known thing that Prince of Denmark's "8" is on Spotify and Tidal?

If not, it's there. There there. Both theres.

FWIW, "8" sounds like a needle drop on both services.

just read there is a new Terrence Dixon album in July. I'm really up for that.

weirdly it is a concept album of all like 2-3 minute tracks, right?

actually that's wrong, I thought it was 21 tracks 50 minutes, but it's 21 tracks 80 minutes. wonder if they will vary a lot in length and structure or if it will be 21 4-minute monotone bangers

his tresor album of monotone bangers from 2012 still gets played round these parts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnT5nmrD6VU

The sample track I'm listening to is 6 mins+ and pretty good.

Willie Dixon, Bill Dixon, Dixon's Ice Cream

The name always delivers for me.

xp kinda like gas imo but not boring

where is the sample track?

https://soundcloud.com/out_electronic_recording/terrence-dixon-inside-radio-room-12000-milesoftwilight-lp

got it. the NASA samples are very 90s. killer track.

just read that he did a digital album last year that i didn't know about.

is that any good?

well looky here its harry mccanna, didnt realize this was now on youtube but here it is

By me as well! sorry everyone!

i mean, i linked the soundcloud of it on last years thread oops i forgot

That Kettenkarussell is sounding pretty good to me.

I like that Slowdy Mowdy. (I just wanted to say that, but I do like it.)

sorry for the diversion, but what's the most recent thread for idm-ish music?

probably the rolling techno albums thread for people who are doing it wrong or w/e

Look! its a new Sir Lord Commix record

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZjjXY9pZq0

I really like that EP, we've been overdue a Metro Area revival

Harvey Sutherland & Bermuda EP over at Bandcamp

And that link to Harvey Sutherland & Bermuda EP over at Bandcamp

I really like that EP, we've been overdue a Metro Area revival

hehe - been trying to place who it reminds me of and there are certainly shades of metro area. also the detroit experiment. one of those great records where you listen to 15 seconds and the sound is so rich you know you're buying it, but after that each track just flows in its own way.

some stuff I've been feeling lately:

Francis Inferno Orchestra - Oasis (Celestial Body Mix). Dreamy breakbeat house that goes well with that Young Marco Italian house compilation.

Telephones - DTMF (Call Super Remix). Skippy house with a breakdown of shimmering chords, warped string pads and what sounds like a muted sample of a lorry reversing.

Jamie Lidell - When I Come Back Round (Matthew Herbert's Long Night Dub). Heads-down swirling deep house that makes me think of the mid 00s when Kompakt and Villalobos were still building their reputations, and not even Lidell's best Jamiroquai impression can spoil it.

Michael Mayer & Joe Goddard - For You (DJ Koze Mbira Mix). Marred by indie mumbling but the kind of euphoric wistfulness that Koze excels at.

Space Dimension Controller - Exostack. To me this sounds like an early rave producer trying to make a classy disco track.

a few more

Oxia - Domino (Robag's Lasika Cafa Nb Remix). I don't hear anything in this that sounds like the original, but it sounds like Robag Wruhme at his usual standard.

Lord Of The Isles - Sunrise 89. This would be ambient house if it wasn't for the menacing tone in the low end. The EP this is from is really good, I like it more than the album he released.

Fred P - 6am. All three tracks on Instinctive Rhythms are good but this is my favourite - thumping tech-house with hooks and sounds sharpening in and out of focus.

Isolee - Pisco. Does anyone still think about that amazing My My album from a decade ago?

Baba Stiltz - Are You Mad? Cause I'm Not Mad... A bassline indebted to "French Kiss" with warm chords.

Thank you boxedjoy - lots of great stuff!

new collaboration from Garrett David, Chicagodeep & Taelue

first two tracks are great!

mates, are those bikers on the Isle of Man?

I'm really shook by the sudden death of Marcus Kaye / Trevino. I'm not really a DnB guy, so can't talk to his Marcus Intalex stuff, but I sincerely think he was behind a lot of the most exciting techno I'd heard in the 2010s ("Backtracking" for instance, is one of my favourite recent techno tracks), and was looking forward to the second part of his Front/Back album.

Anyways, very sad. R.I.P.

RIP Intalex. True to the craft for all his days. Torn up.

Both of the Vlad Caia mixes of this are good. The kind of record you leave behind then when you get home it somehow managed to come back with you, takes a little bit of while to get comfortable but then its there. I'm not sure if I'd play this one over the tannoy though

that new Porter Ricks LP is even better than I was hoping!

the title track goes unexpectedly hard, leading to my initial reaction being "whoa"

i CANNOT WAIT for the bicep record

I thought i had already posted this but it looks like I must have posted it somewhere else, possibly the asda

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRfZpnrDH_Q

lets get sassy in asda they said

if you want to hear what the Bicep album is gonna sound like, join the Facebook group "The Identification Of Music." In theory its set up for clubbers to share their expertise and knowledge and help people identify tracks they've heard, but in actuality it's obnoxious lads posting grainy footage of unreleased Bicep, and while it often sounds good, the attitude and culture around that particularly section of dance music fans makes me feel disengaged and uninterested. It's a terrible thing to be put off listening to something by its fans but I can't help it.

(and I would leave the group but I'm hoping someone will identify a track Horse Meat Disco played both times I saw them last)

Randomer is the best. The 3/4 groove on the last track with the sample + some of the other parts sliding over in 4/4 is so smart.

Is 1080p finished as a label? Looks like they haven't released anything this year.

flopson - excellent choice

probably. from what i heard the guy who ran 1080p got into some personal trouble and i'd be surprised if it picks back up again.

xpost

"personal trouble" = yeah i heard he's a scumbag

pretty much. but the story passed through a lot of ears before it got to me so..

No way, that's a real shame.

I'm listening to this survey Spotify mix from the label - https://open.spotify.com/user/1080pcollection/playlist/4qAgghzz4x2KeNFQ5UJyfC - I was sort of following their stuff at a distance, but really, it's an amazing label imo! I guess great labels can do a good job of capturing a sound and scene, and it seems like this really does it for the stoner retro-house scene in Vancouver, the graphic design is actually a big part of that too - sorta template Tumblr aesthetics...

Also surprised at the jungle-style beats on some of these releases, I know some showed up on ILM threads, but there's quite a vibe around ambient early d'n'b and jungle that is really a sweet spot.

i liked some of the stuff on the label, feel like pacific rhythm has a p similar aesthetic if you like the vancouver thing. i'm sorta prejudiced against the scene in general for really petty reasons and never go to to any nights here.

Well, a big part of it is about an imaginary anyway. Actually being around it, participating directly would be something else.

Ok, cross-posting this track from the fake jungle thread then:
https://soundcloud.com/mixmag-1/premiere-loft-i-am-bouyant

ya it was a great lil label, especially the last coupla years; rip

i'm sorta prejudiced against the scene in general for really petty reasons and never go to to any nights here.

what petty reasons?? when i was in vancouvar a friend brought me to his studio in Deep Blue and later to a Pacific Rhythms party, i felt a frosty vibe from the ppl he introduced me too (tho I've heard that's just what ppl are like there) esp the kids at the studio all had that preppy normcore look which was kinda off-putting

A lot of people in Van are stuck in their own bubble and seem pretty unapproachable. There's good people of course, but I would hesitate to call it a friendly city

im moving there in 3 weeks forever :'(

my petty reasons are that I've met some people who are sort of that scene-adjacent and while these people were nice enough the vibe is definitely art-school normcore middle-class hipster, used to be in an indie band, or in a noise group, and then discovered dance music a few years ago sort of thing. vancouver nights are definitely frosty too. now i should probably just get the stick out my ass and go and try and have a good time but i think I've perhaps overly-romanticized the (imo fantastic) dance music culture of where I'm from - glasgow - and that's getting in my way of just embracing what's around me now and i am dumb

tl;dr - vancouver dance music isn't real enough for the authenticity boy

heh ironically the one guy who was real friendly to me that night was moving to glasgow

my go-to approach is to find a part of the room where people are dancing, don't pay attention to what people who aren't dancing are doing, and talk to no one

^^^^ FYI that works in every city

bendy bobbins in little wye valley from Steevio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ritn_tZ0iM

on a Geordie label, how about that?

^^^^ FYI that works in every city

TIP! ;)

mh - that's right!

flopson, will say I saw Nite Jewel recently and everyone was dancing, so it's not always the case :-)

tbh I can't just instantly go from zero to dancing, usually involves kind of working my way into it and/or having a couple drinks, so if the crowd sucks and the drink service sucks the occasional misfire happens

i show up at shows mashed most of the time to avoid misfires ha

Steevio was part of the Newcastle scene in 80s/90s.

He was!

from wye aye man to wye valley sorry everyone

Jim, I think your post has a lot of truth re: the music scene here. However, I think Vancouver perhaps doesn't have as much of a history of music in that sense that the UK does, so it's baby steps.

https://soundcloud.com/l-i-e-s/broken-english-club-the-english-beach-lp-clips-lies-094

I'm iffy about Vancouver house for *extremely* petty reasons: I was once painfully rejected by someone that's friends with the Mood Hut guys and introduced me to them before they went big. I also think a lot of that music is pretty overrated, perhaps because it's received a lot of nepotistic hype via Andrew Ryce at Resident Advisor, who tends to consistently give glowing reviews to what I think are quite average records from people from Vancouver/his friends/whoever. Maybe I'm being paranoid (I don't think it's deliberate aggrandizement but it has a touch of conflict of interest) but I've gotten to the point where I just pass over his reviews of Mood Hut/Pacific Rhythm/etc records.

I miss posting here but I so rarely buy records from the present year that aren't already covered on places like RA. The only things I've got worth mentioning are Sven Weisemann - Separate Paths (https://svenweisemann.bandcamp.com/album/separate-paths-ep), a solid EP on Delsin which sounds exactly what a solid EP on Delsin would sound like, and Niro - It Takes Two (https://soundcloud.com/padsdiscs/sets/niro-it-takes-two-pads002), a kind of fun ep of quirky house.

i stopped reading RA or any music crit other than writers that also post here before the vancouver thing got rolling. i didn't know RA hyped them up, i still associate RA with minimal, techno, deep house, and whatever english people are making now, post-bass music maybe. if anything i would've guessed RA was skeptical of vancouver and their ilk

huh, I’ve disagreed with a few of AR’s write-ups but maybe never paid enough attention to Vancouver stuff to notice a bias. I’ve almost said hi after spotting him on several different occasions at shows on the east coast. got the impression he travels a lot

on a semi-related note, I’m disappointed that Vice is closing down thump. It was a really mixed bag but there were a handful of things I really appreciated

I know f all about "vancouver house" (never exactly been a dance music guy i guess) but shit I've lived in the van my whole life and I get a kick out of the fact that that scene exists because there really isn't much of a musical legacy here, or many big current artists either :(

Another Ferrero Rocher, ambassador? yes mate!

this, by moon, is a great album - kind of electro in the other people place style, some house also.

https://open.spotify.com/album/2ouTVQr042iPbXFu2zD6KG

some bits and pieces I've been enjoying lately:

Gerd Janson & Shan - Surrender - filtered disco house hasn't ever really gone away but I've noticed in the past few months there's a lot of releases that sound like that 1997 sound of tough kicks and ecstatic samples and this is a personal favourite.

Bullion - Blue Pedro - this is really cheesy, like something off that disappointing Todd Terje album, but I actually love this because it's so shameless - it's the Blue Peter theme done as arpeggiated disco.

Andras - Vinyl Only - all three tracks from this are great in a retro, analogue way.

Moscoman - Big Jack Arbon - stompy percussion which turns into big glassy melodies.

Morgan Geist - Ocgc - pristine disco as always, but I think the Megaprojects series has let Geist show a more maximalist, anthemic side.

Radio slave - Children Of The E (KiNK SP1200 Remix) - every single time I go out just now I hear his remix of Unit 2's "Sunshine" which is obvious and devastating but I think this is actually the best thing KiNK has done recently.

Rico Puestel - If I'd Care More - shiny Ibiza techno, the highlight from Cocoon Compilation Q, which is better than the 17th release in a chain of compilations should be.

Dark Sky - Kilter - rumbling wompy bass from Modeselektor associates.

Riva Starr - Another Race - Riva Starr have been very prolific and I've never really paid any attention but I saw a video of Steffi playing this at Glastonbury and it sounded excellent - tech-house that sounds like hi-nrg italo with lots of trippy effects.

Peverelist - Still Early - undulating sunrise techno, feels like a natural successor to "Clunk Click Every Trip" which is now scarily nine years old.

Mosca - Peyote Sitch - Livity Sound have a good few ones out just now from Forest West Drive and Hodge as well as the Peverelist album but I really like the slightness of this, the pitched cowbell melody anchoring the weird sounds around it.

Bufiman - Peace Moves (DJ Normal 4 Ever Armstice Remix) - breakbeats and whistles and deep chords.

Mallard - Untitled (Breaks) & Earth Boys - Trail Mix - heard both of these on recent Test Pressing mixes on NTS. Lumping them together because they both do the same thing, which I guess would be lush, balearic rave.

(sorry for the basic write-ups but I didn't want to just post a dozen links and leave it at that)

that kink remix is great!! i liked both sides of the original "children of the e" but i like this even better.

love the mosca too, probably best thing on livity sound since kowton's "on repeat"

I liked both sides of that Dark Sky record, and that Gerd Jansen track. Nice selection of breaks, too, boxedjoy! Thank you.

The incomparable Ewan Jansen. I've never been to Perth but apparently they have a SkyTrain too. If this release is anything to go by I'll have a read about that for sure!

https://soundcloud.com/buttersessions/soundcloud-preview

lots of jansen reissues the past year, and in the pipeline too

liking this v much, it might belong more in the balearic revival thread but here it is:

Willikens doesn't make/remix a lot of tracks but when she does they're killer. She's a great DJ too in case you didn't know

Neither Offenbach nor Montevideo have Skytrains but they do have Waterside Chronicles and here they are

Wait, where did they go? ah here they are

anyone know the first track in this?

https://soundcloud.com/redlightrecords-amsterdam/august-jams-2017-guestmix-phil-mison

No idea, great track though. Very druggy.

It seems improbable that Feleacu has even a crude drawing of a SkyTrain but it does have this moody record being played and some bucolic weather

ok, when did people figure out who delroy edwards’ dad is, and wow wtf

Not me, I had to google both the lad and his dad i thought he used to play for Nottingham Forest but look like thats someone else

here is a little look inside an engine room

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUyexTQp574

Came across this one the other night (Hodge & Peder Mannerfelt - All My Love) and it's a banger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3wNl66Dcjs

Theres's a rumour this is by one of the Crystal Palace lads

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEhXt3pF6ME

A lad in Greggs reckons its by DJ Vancouver Skytrain! I reckon he's had one too many brexits but you never know

headphones, George!

i think dj vancouver skytrain is definitely the name i will use if i go back to producing music

lmao

isn't there a dj peoplemover?

so good!

Some great tracks posted here. Sadly I feel that I'm losing my touch with current house and techno. At least I had the pleasure of hearing Petre Inspirescu play for 6 hours at Underground in Ibiza in july.

What did he play? generally I prefer when he plays with the other two but always depends on context/location!

Maybe its new and maybe its not, its got its boots on and its evading capture

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ0kjV2Gzhw

I didn't pick up the last one from Binh when it came out, but it has grown on me since, in its own murky and shadowy way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXJKchWCKV0

I've been wondering what this one is, Bigeneric - unsure if its from the vaults or a new production tho!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOByw3YCIqI

what's the name of the original track he used for this? i think it's a japanese old school "new wave" / techno track that i heard in some cosmic mix. thought it was Logic System but it after quickly going tough their catalog it doesn't look like it.

I like the Sean Dixon track on that (B1?)? Not heard of him before!

at first i was excited because i had him confused with sean DEASON from detroit

but yeah a swedish guy ... i didn't realize he had so many releases, the only thing of this i'd heard before this was his rawax release because i'm a rawax / chiwax / housewax stan

I briefly made the exact same mistake, going to dig out Dreamscape tomorrow

this Karen Gwyer is probably the best techno release I've heard this year. Kind of Actress-y in places, but more overtly dancey and playful.

https://karengwyer.bandcamp.com/album/rembo

Another good one, though a bit more all over the place, is this Information Flash. Mostly weirdo techno, but has some breakbeat/dnb stuff on there as well
https://kudatah.bandcamp.com/album/ego-murda-sound

Really digging the new Bicep album.
https://open.spotify.com/album/4psDRFbIlUM1KUb1omccXo

k gwyer is dope

i kind of want to start a thread on dope female techno producers but not sure we should segregate them like that

there are so many now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZa2etF7PTs

The Workers Are On Strike is one of my tracks of the year - it's got some attitude!

late great, there is this thread:

Women in electronic/dance music

k gwyer is a lot of fun, happy I purchased this album (thanks ILX)

I don't normally go for Varhat records, but this ons is a convivial choice - shades of a certain TM

I went deep into brexit britain and found this on the frontline, its a sobering. The other side is mainly hard brexit but this track you could definitely smash out over the tannoy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXofwJDTCts

I have to admit that on the other side of the channel this crew on a boat in Lyon seem have their paperwork in order. Fair play to the eu lads

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps-LGEoEgpc

that distinctively marbled vinyl on the second record should reveal itself soon enough, thats downright brazen!

https://soundcloud.com/thump/roman-rauch-dont-you-try

should i see sotofett dj tonight

plz

i'm too late but yes wtf of course dude

no it's not too late im PST. ok i will go

Where is he playing, I had a look at the listings but there's not much to go on!

just a warehouse in east vancouver. it was very nice but sadly got shut down less than an hour into sotof's set oops

Did he play any nice records?!

About to post clip from Cap - who started this thread playing some unreleased Amorf. No idea what this is, but I probably should

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHBA3tAoTJU

nothing i recognized, but all very nice yes. played some banging and very trippy electro/hip hoppy stuff

I am finding good stuff on the RA Tracks page this week, but it's a pain because they haven't implemented an auto-play feature so you have to keep tabbing back to start the next song.

Anyway, I always like this kind of pop/techno crossover stuff, and there's a good new track by some Norwegians called SASSY 009 which maybe belongs here: https://soundcloud.com/sassy009/pretty-baby-3

In the same vein, this came up on my Hype Machine feed, and it's a cut above what else I've heard from this group: https://bluehawaii.bandcamp.com/track/no-one-like-you

Oh and that D. Tiffany EP upthread is so good! I missed the chance to pick it up on wax but the label told me on Twitter that it'll be getting re-pressed soon.

extraplanar this one https://soundcloud.com/ostgutton-official/etapp-kyle-alpha?in=ostgutton-official/sets/etapp-kyle-alpha-ep-o-ton-107

AFACT, not mentioned upthread, but Mori-Ra's The Brasserie Heroique Edits Part 3 are the best thing ever, for those who like afro-edits. Honestly don't know where else this would slot in on ILM.

Been wondering what this is for a while, thinking it sounded kind of Seaform like - and thats exactly what it is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSROm7cS2EY

yes

argh SEAFOAM can't spell

it is the mountain people

it is for genial Adriatic evenings real and imagined

I dig that one. Still could use some kind of melody on top of it, though...

Elysium Alps - Wild Blue EP

this one has been stuck in my head:
https://closeupoftheserene.bandcamp.com/track/creek

and this one is going in a set for sure:
https://closeupoftheserene.bandcamp.com/track/player

Ninos du Brasil is back. Vida Eterna is a vampirism concept album, but it bears strong resemblance to the last one, which had an "escaping from an ancient entity following us through the jungle" theme.

^^ great tune, amazing consistency, been spinning your tunes in the car as of late and it does not disappoint.

i highly recommend people seek out far out radio systems' "dream the dreams of dreamers" EP on curle

"vaquita" and "spheres" are the #1 and #2 jams but "jane goodall" is pretty okay too

DJ Python - Todo Era Azul (Versión Afuera)

one of the tracks from this year that has stayed in rotation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnUPnHPDIZs

Yes, Hinode is a good one, and nice to mix with as well

Levi's new ep is out now, starting to get more of a signature sound

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIkAPgaMF0w

just read there is a new Terrence Dixon album in July. I'm really up for that.

Yep, it's kind of amazing and bizarre. The tracks are all pretty short too -- this is a triple LP that never even came close to outstaying its welcome. Spectral, dissonant, trippy, hypnotic.

everything old is new again ... s.o.n.s. return with an acid breakbeat stunner ... paid $20 for this and I DO NOT REGRET IT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw9dRbgfWfY

I didn't realize S.O.N.S was an old project, though had only been around a couple of years! Is it an alias for someone?

oh no, i just meant the old acid breaks style is new again
