The Forward Strategy Group is really good, all clanging, metallic textures against industrial dones - makes me think of Andy Stott's recent material but played at 45 instead of 33.

*album I mean

not enough love for the lauer album, innit? record might be kinda samey when listened in one sitting, but still most of the tracks are good to great. personal favs : crawlington, delmar 2700, coppers and trainman. like someone said above, the tensnake remixes are also A+.

speaking of tensnake, kinda disappointed with his fact mix. dunno, maybe a little bit too polite or something...

The Lauer album def sounded pretty same-y, but good. I generally like his stuff, but a full LP of descending basslines with repetitive melodies on top kinda wears thin. Looking forward to the new Tuff City Kids 12 tho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmpFirzWLVo

i guess it's just the usual thing of "collection of good dance tracks (does not equal) good dance album"

i would call it the usual thing of "twelve tracks by dance artist (does not equal) dance album"

these are a couple of my fav new purchases, trying to feel a bit summery in the terrible London weather!

Joss Moog "Toi et Moi" - really love the vocal sample.

really diggin this synth galore http://www.beatport.com/track/s-e-x-dick-tease-remix/3564004

i guess it's just the usual thing of "collection of good dance tracks (does not equal) good dance album"

^^ this. sincerely hope that the forthcoming mano le tough album doesn't fall in this category. considering his ep's i believe he might pull something like the talabot album - not in terms of sound, but pacing et. al.

One of the b-sides on the new Lauer remix 12 is an absolute banger.

new storm queen!

one distinct advantage of dating a dance nerd is being routinely subjected to digs thru beatport's deep house top 100

photonz can do no wrong these days. their new release on UTTU is A+ :

Liking the new storm queen, was amazing to see morgan geist on my first ever night in NY until being awake for 24hrs caught up on me

anyone knows some melodic/warm/atmospheric house/techno that wouldn't sound out of place in a michael mayer set/mix? older tracks are welcome

[Not totally sure about how mayer-y it is, but Yagya's 'Snowflake' might fit the bill. Also, you might be better asking in the bobbins of the past thread - Techno/House Bobbins of the past.]

[although it mightbe a bit more ambient than what you're after]

yea, I realize this is a bit out of topic. anyway I think I can find them in the soft/sad techno thread

this is actually amazing, much and all as carl craig isn't reinventing the wheel. reminds me of quetzal.

Is this new Shed album as unimpressive to people as a review I skimmed implied? Starting to listen now and it's not grabbing me necessarily, but seems reasonable

This is obviously a superficial reaction, but calling your record "the killer" with a close up of a speaker smacks of disposable big room club albums. Seems kind of incongruous for a shed album. Oh yeah, the track and a half from it I heard in the record store yesterday sounded quite nice, at least to the extent that I went up to find out what it was.

And good lawd does his ellipsis remix suck. Ok, it's doesn't suck, but given what Shed's capable of it should have been waaaaaaaaaaaay more interesting than a lot of unneccesarily skittery drum rolls over the same basic elemetns but made boring. True, you can't expect him to just keep making variations of big ass 4/4 beats over big ass piano/synth lines, but ellipsis could have gone from already achieving total heavyiosity to even heavier heavyiosity.

I love that remix! It's way better than the original anyway

nah the shed album is really good

he basically pulls this each time anyway - people who had been all over wax and eqd had the same reaction to the traveller, people who had been all over soloaction had the same reaction to shedding the past

i think as usual the production is amazing and the sound is super creative

* "with a close up of a speaker" as the album cover

Can't find a decent youtube, or a long enough sample but System of Survival's X-Pert (feat. Anna Gi) is a proper summer anthem.

there is one now..

where's that sample from? I forget.

It's someone singing a Whitney line, and I know which I'd rather hear on the dancefloor.

I prefer the underground mix.

no doubt

Several weeks on but I've only just realised that that record that seemingly every DJ was playing in Croatia was Julio Bashmore's Au Seve. First Bashmore I've really liked.

congratulations on the scales falling from yr ears

well this is actually from 2011 but i've only just discovered it and it's amazing

the woolford lab unmixed thing is comp of the year imo

Amir is a talent, loads of great stuff on soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/amir-alexander

Good call on the underground mix above.
