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.

I will second the love for that Call Super remix. Has all the right ingredients for me.

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.
― ed.b, Sunday, 28 May 2017 17:24 (six years ago) link
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

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)
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 5 July 2017 23:39 (six years ago) link
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.
