Effective cut-up funk and electro floor-filler.

The new Module Werk record is great, particularly the first track, very assured for a new artist

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.

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

Monsieur Blue is Mulen presumably? Raresh plays that one a lot, I prefer the other side but its not a buy
Fred and Ed records I liked but not enough to buy, though I'll come back to them probably. Its been a while since a Fred P record really grabbed me though
Ricky Montanari (of Riviera Traxx fame). I don't know if this a long lost track issue for first time or a new recording, but its a new 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?
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 24 April 2017 04:28 (seven years ago) link
not particularly
― the late great, Monday, 24 April 2017 04:44 (seven years ago) link
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.
― saer, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 09:42 (six years ago) link
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
― saer, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 09:47 (six years ago) link
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).
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 15:56 (six years ago) link
I dont know anything about genre distinctions and never talk about them, I only like records and also feeling genial
― saer, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 16:02 (six years ago) link
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!
― saer, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 16:20 (six years ago) link
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

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.
This is technically 2016, but from the last 12 months. It's a really nice ep: https://soundcloud.com/helena_label/sets/aleks-future-dialect-ep

I like a lot of the stuff coming out of Frankfurt the last couple of years, and while I like Phil Evans is it just me or are his records always out of tune! Does feel like a scene on the upswing though!

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
