Techno/House Bobbins 2010

the new horizontal ground (005) is very nice

still dour...oh well. carry on all.

i dunno, if you imagine it all being read by like rupaul or something its kinda fun.

haven't heard this new horizontal ground, but i've been pretty intrigued since their RA podcast

disco nihilist i like your music and respect your hardline

anybody hear the art bleek record?

i never heard jichael mackson before but i like his new single a snake in da system a lot

Also I guess its 2009 but I finally managed to track down a copy of San Soda's purple ep on We Play House and found someone to digitize it for me because i have no record player these days and I like to listen to music when I go for a walk or get the bus. Its very good, really feeling his stuff at the moment theres another good one on a podcast he did but i dont think its released:/

thanks for the horizontal ground info. 1-4 are all awesome.

yeah horizontal ground is excellent. seems like there's a slight resurgence of good uk techno recently -- the last few releases on perc trax have been outstanding and completely essential, frozen border which is affiliated with horizontal ground has also been great, and the two new sandwell district records that just came out are some truly "dope" "shit" as they say in the us of a

enjoying forward strategy group also. this is one of my favourite tracks this year

what are the new sandwell district records?

am enjoying the new raudive ep on wires. soulless minimal techno with a touch of early 80s darkwave. sounds as if ike yard made a house track

loving the new dvs1 record as well

the forward strategy group remix of perc is great! and whoever said 'dour', can't agree. this style of music is very emotional - ina strange way

loving the new art bleek record

i am digging the art bleek.

anyone heard the Mathew Jonson album? pretty awesome imo.

haven't listened to the album yet but his fact mix/live set is great. i pretty much love everything he does though

sounds as if ike yard made a house track

oooh i hope this is as good it sounds in my head!

any thoughts on the recent mole eps? they sounded kinda samey to me and didn't leave much impression on first listen, but for the lost/there's hope took a little while to sink in and ended up being on of my favorite things last year.

loving this record

Is anyone else enjoying the elektro guzzi stuff? Not heard the full LP yet but what I have heard so far has been excellent.

i like the idea of elektro guzzi but the end result kinda left me cold....

That's interesting as I don't really like the idea of EG ('band plays minimal/berghain(ish)/etc techno on guitar bass drums') but am finding the end result really worthwhile. I wouldn't say it was warm exactly but it really works for me, maybe not as danceable music but certainly as listenable techno related stuff.

ah, interesting, i've seen EG mentioned but never really knew what they did. i've messed around on instruments attempting similar stuff with friends who are into techno, but didn't really have the ambition to get that tight. its tough to be so restrained on guitar/bass/drums. funny that they don't even use a synth; i guess that might take away from the novelty a bit. i'm curious to hear the album.

another al3x: thanks for mentioning that Mathew Jonson FACT mix, (((d-_-b)))<--me right now

strictly should be in the 2009 thread

this remix of Rick Wilhite - Dreams Of Yesterday (Rick's Never Will Forget mix) samples Princes 'Computer Blue'.

Is there another track from recent years that also sampled that section of Computer Blue?

On the new/forthcoming Planet E tip, this new Urban Tribe is niiiiiice:

"niiiiiice" is a bit of an understatement here -- three pristine and gorgeous high-tempo techno trax and one incredible melancholy electro track that sounds like prime black dog -- maybe a few more "i's" are required. stunning ep

maybe the black dog reference put you all off slightly; but there's definitely a balil style of melody in "insolitology"

bet ilx user vahid loves this record

references to prime black dog are some of the least off-putting things I can think of!

not a patch on the mo'wax album, sadly

:-(

liked mystic tribe ai a whole lot better

Elektro Guzzi podcast at RA - http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=212

I haven't heard EG's podcast yet. I am only judging the project on the first 10" which was OKish. the main reason why i am disappointed is because patrick pulsinger is involved and he did some really amazing music on his own for cheap, r&s etc during the 90s. in EG he is only one of three people, so maybe his voice isn't as loud!

ok i've listened to this elektro guzzi album twice today and damn. it is excellent. i guess i'm the type of person who thinks that conceptually this type of thing is a good idea to begin with (no offense to minimal/berghain-style techno) but usually bands like this make records that are a lot less interesting than this one

elektro guzzi podcast is unbelievable, has anyone seen them play?

cos like

also

soul clap - extravaganza, which is super sensual blurry rnb/male diva vocal house

new track by Moritz Von Oswald on Cocoon Comp J is sweet.

http://www.discogs.com/Robert-Hood-Omega/master/254368

Anybody heard this yet?

because it is awesome. so intense.

nice, those samples sound great.

COS/MES has a track on Milky Disco III which i am looking forward to checkin out

violence fm "perspectives"

In response to your post of pressure by dvs1 (with my personal acknowledgments to a certain mr. klock), that is soooo good. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on a copy soon, either.

new Hood is really ace.

and i've been finding it harder to say that about any new techno recently.

i'm the complete opposite -- i'm finding techno to be very good lately! some stuff i've been feeling:

forward strategy group - combat codes (rawsome car-crusher techno, sounds as if neubauten ca "yu gung" released a record on downwards. i like how industrial influences are becoming more and more pronounced recently)
darko esser - songs for a real winter
tadeo - series 03
d knox - looking through your eyes
samuel l session - inner city dust (heavy mid 90s the advent style techno)
samuli kempii - kosmos ep
dj bone - my sunday 10"
dino sabatini - daughter of phorcys (the ghosts of old mika vainio midi sequences lurk in these trax)
perc - mandrake

then there's the sandwell district stuff, the last oni ayhun record, the terrance dixon record youtube'd above, the dvs1 thing (the b-side is even better btw), the brendan moeller thing on echochord, the excellent schermate label from italy -- just an overwhelming number of decent records coming out! and i'm sure just as many that i don't know about or have yet to discover. i think house and techno are becoming more distinct from each other again, techno trax are getting ruffer, more overdriven and industrial, taking influence from elsewhere (axis, sahko, fragile records, claude young, surgeon, early aphex, autechre, r&s etc) instead of relying on the same chain reaction/basic channel tropes, tempos are going up as house tempos are going down, you always read big european djs like steffi or tama sumo talking about a definite axis point in their sets where they will switch from house to techno as opposed to mixing it all together as they may've done maybe 2 or 3 or 4 years ago... maybe i'm talking out of my ass here and someone is gonna tell me that all those records are crap i dunno, but i'm honestly pretty excited about techno atm

new deepchord is amazing, theyve done a feelgood summer record! Literally the polar opposite of coldest season etc and the first dub techno record ive actually wanted to play out in aeons. BCN dub on constant rotation after coming back form sonar where I heard watery Jamie Jones tech houses version of summer a few too many times
