what are the new sandwell district records?

http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=7505

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

got that dj bone 'sunday' on its way to me. very excellent. will check these others, r1o.

makam, 'hide you'

efficient and effective fer sure

glad to see some techno/house enthusiasm on this thread :)

yes, the new Hood is really, really great.
r1o, it seems like you would be into it from the stuff you mention. thanks for all those recs, will definitely be checking some of those out.
the new Deepchord is a lot warmer and more varied than coldest season, haven't gotten a chance to listen to it enough yet, but i'm liking it a lot.

Hey (r1o natsume), totally agree with you! I love the way that techno has become more industrial as you say.. I run the Komisch label, which samuli kemppi's 'kosmos' ep is released on, so thanks for supporting us! It is also funny that this idea of 'industrial' is with us again.. peter van hoesen who also releases on Komisch is a big new beat fan and samuli has a background in 90s techno. maybe it's because we are all a bit older . .
but thank you again for the support!

October

Gota say I was pretty bummed about the state of techno in recent years untill I found October: http://sonicrouter.blogspot.com/2009/04/interview-october-caravan_16.html we interviewed him and he did a quality mix way back last year. He had that free moving kinda organic, raw flow where you didn't quite know what was gonna happen next when a genre full of people where just doing it so tracky and predictable. He's done loads of killer mixes since too...

Kyle Hall and Omar-S have been doing it for me too, no idea how they keep it so lo-fi and loose and keep that dance floor bump. Kassem Mosse has been sounding hot as well but I need to explore that more.

I've stated my great fondness for Richard Davis before on ILM, and likewise my excitement that he released a new EP recently. Having just acquired that EP ("What You Are" on his own offshoot label, Safer), I can say that this record is fabulous!

djkomisch, been loving the komisch releases so far.

i think whats perceived as an industrial boom has been helped hugely by the berghain factor but what seems to be a thread running through a lot of the producers is that they have come back to dance music from working in other soundscapey/ambient/experimental music after a few years away from the dancefloor (myself included). Personally I feel theres something about creating a more populis functional piece of music to be used in this setting thats a bit more instantly fulfilling though maybe thats my narcissistic impulses coming out

i think spending more and more time away from the internet and dance clubs has also made me feel 'eh' about much techno, but r1o, the FSG stuff is pretty good, am listening now. i also have been liking what is coming out on Rodz-Konez.

on the other hand, this is probably my favorite band right now:

dark synth-punk....industrial veins here and there.....

any thoughts on immer 3? to be honest i'm surprised that the critical receptions are pretty good.
