Come on somebody, make the Spotify playlist already.
Or is that kind of self-defeating as approx 10% of the songs mentioned here will have made it to Spotify?

I don't know if this is the right thread to post this in but Jim-E Stack's new EP is kind of amazing:

Another belatedly discovery of 2011 but why didn't anyone tell me about the Margaret Dygas self-titled on Perlon? Very much a dry, skeletal affair, typical of the label I guess - I'm not the biggest expert but on at least a superficial level it's very much like Villalobos' "Alcachofa" texturally - but there's enough darkness to remind me of Chloe while moments such as the live drums on this remind me of Four Tet:

I don't want to use the m-word but there's a reason that whole thing took off and stuff like this makes me kinda miss it.

sounds pretty hot creations-y but i guess it's on wolf + lamb

I like the danny daze track but can't really deal with the hot creations thing
― Cashmere Combabe, Tuesday, 24 January 2012 11:44 (twelve years ago) link
that cottam track from way upthread is amazing, it's my sax automatic kneejerk love kicking in. the b-side "twang" is fantastic too

what is the hot creations thing? i usually don't know what people mean when they say this. i believe there is a wolf + lamb thing that i also don't get
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 24 January 2012 18:28 (twelve years ago) link
hot creations thing = lee foss "u got me", miguel campbell "something special", danny daze "your everything", hot natured "forward motion", clockwork "it's you again", etc.
it's not too crazily different than the wolf + lamb thing, but with (usually) more prominent vocals/pop hooks. it's lee foss and jamie jones' label idk
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 24 January 2012 19:21 (twelve years ago) link
no, i mean, i get that its a label with songs, i like a lot of them, but the way people talk about it leads me to think that it is something extra-musical which they don't like about hot creations
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 24 January 2012 19:22 (twelve years ago) link
I don't get it either. Maybe it sounds better at a rooftop party in LA or poolside in Miami? The plodding house beats, grating vocals and corny R&B samples. All I know is to AVOID Hot Creations/Hot Natured nights in London LIKE THE PLAGUE. Topless, sweaty 17 yr olds in sunglasses pushing on the dance floor.. no thanks.
― mmmm, Tuesday, 24 January 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link

i love it because it sounds exactly like a rooftop party in LA or poolside in miami
― tinie tempurah (lex pretend), Tuesday, 24 January 2012 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
ah, okay, well, i live in FL so i'm more inclined to associate poolside miami with the hot creations sound than sweaty 17yo londoners

I just got the first Hinge Finger from Madteo: http://www.discogs.com/Madteo-Bugler-Gold-Pt1/release/3269305 it's a well nice slab of odd ball house.
Looking forward to this too.

i would absolutely go to a hot creations night in london for reasons that have only partly to do with shirtless guys
― donna rouge, Tuesday, 24 January 2012 19:55 (twelve years ago) link
My experience with sweaty 17y/o Londoners has been more tedious and gross than anything else. Makes sense, since Hot Creations, Wolf and Lamb, et al make tedious and awful music that's by and large to be avoided like the plague, shirtless guys or no.
But that's just me.
― Frasier Ramon (EDB), Tuesday, 24 January 2012 20:25 (twelve years ago) link
just....don't. i love all the music but seriously when people talk negatively about the 'hot creations thing' this is probably what they are talking about. so much aggro.

the lary crowds combined with the shit 'TBC' venues, promoters knowingly overselling said shit venues two, three times over capacity and getting old i imagine means in 2012 i will be choosing my london nights out p selectively

has anyone heard some of the wolf + lamb mixes where they get on the mic? in theory i'm all for a bit of innovation in the dj box but it is incredibly cringey, sounds like a bad teen disco in suburban dublin when he's roaring "when the beat drops, i wanna see how low y'all can go!!" - albeit with jesse pinkman accents.

Well I didn't mean to open a can of worms about this re:'the hot creations thing' - I should have said sound rather than thing, wasn't really referring to anything else. I find their sound a bit cold is all!

the talking on the mic is 100% them trolling listeners like ronan imo
― ⚓ (gr8080), Tuesday, 24 January 2012 23:04 (twelve years ago) link
i haven't heard the mixes where they talk over it, when i saw soul clap there was no mic action and it was a pretty chill crowd
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 24 January 2012 23:33 (twelve years ago) link
this hot creations/crosstown rebels sound was pretty refreshing when it first came out. "l word", "forward motion", "without you" are aces. but then they keep retreading the formula to the point that it became boring and predictable. I can't stand Maceo Plex.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Wednesday, 25 January 2012 01:41 (twelve years ago) link
I can't wait for the inevitable curation of Hot Creations because it will be one disc of great post-minimal vocal house and it will be all I need.
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 25 January 2012 01:49 (twelve years ago) link

im very tempted to start a separate s/d thread but i really really love everything ive heard on the life + death label partic the pillowtalk ep from late last year:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESHsqWl4A_c&feature=related
anyone have suggestions/thoughts??
― # (Lamp), Wednesday, 25 January 2012 04:26 (twelve years ago) link
i like both pillowtalk eps, probably like the one on w+l even more than that ^ one tho. what else is on that label?
i think what hot creations is doing has a lot more in common with azari & iii style vocal house revivalism than anything else, and i love it - even tho yes it can be somewhat formulaic
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 25 January 2012 05:04 (twelve years ago) link
theres a dOP 12" 'after party' that i really vibe and a bunch of remixes by ppl that i vaguely recognize. they arent updating their website which is p lol but they only have four 'official' releases
― # (Lamp), Wednesday, 25 January 2012 05:10 (twelve years ago) link
listeners like who? what's a listener like me? might want to update your ilm filofax.
also love this, it's like "you've fallen completely into their trap"...OR maybe there's no problem with speaking on the mic, they just say really stupid cringey shit.

worst one is actually soul clap

39.30...it's just fucking awful. i had no prob with the BIS set.
doesn't help that the song is dire too.
x-post he actually does sound like jesse pinkman here imo.
― When a German communicates, you listen (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 25 January 2012 23:59 (twelve years ago) link
The original mix of "Soft" is a good pop song. But that Life & Death remix sounds just like every other Tale of Us remix.

well too much of a good thing is not good, bro. I mean, I enjoy all of tale of us previous remixes but when I heard this track, I thought, oh not this bass sound again.
