Immer is on my Amazon wishlist, actually. As is Orchestra of Bubbles, Mastered by Guy at the Exchange, latest Dan Deacon, Villalobos' ECM thing, Metro Area, Kelley Polar...

no the real question is why try to get into something if it don't happen au naturel? no snark

How does anyone get into anything 'au naturel'? I'm not sure 'au naturel' exists, and I'm also not sure there's anything wrong with waking up one day and deciding "today's the day I get into jazz / minimal / salsa / handball / ultimate frisbee / middle eastern food" - curiosity and happenstance encounters are both great inspirations for interests and passions.

How did I get into dance / electronic music? Two separate events: firstly the disco when I was 11 or 12, and stuff like Groove Is In The Heart and Voodoo Ray, and secondly, a gnawing perception at about 15/16 that there was more to msuic than Pearl Jam, whicb became a full-on epiphany when I bought In Sides by Orbital / Post by Bjork / Richard D James album by Aphex Twin / 2nd Toughest by Underworld.

as i say nick i wasn't being sarky, it's just alien to my spirit to think "i wanna get into this" rather than say, "i dig this i wanna dig deeper"

get Michael Mayer's Immer cd on Kompakt..

this.

along with volumes 2 and 3.

xpost

that Villalobos ECM album is patchy imo btw, closer to Autechre/Pan Sonic territory - guys i love, but this is weaker - not dancey at all

I'm also not sure there's anything wrong with waking up one day and deciding "today's the day I get into jazz / minimal / salsa / handball / ultimate frisbee / middle eastern food"

nothing wrong with it per se but i do agree it prob won't "work" in terms of getting you into something. i've often tried stuff out in this way but usually more slowly evolved into stuff via my own path. i think this is a lot easier.

we're talking about people being civil to each other and showing some basic respect for each other, not treat like retarded Down's syndrome cases

Couldn't you just make the same point without suggesting that disabled people don't deserve any civility and are 'retards'? I can appreciate it might have just been a clumsy faux pas, but you ought to be a lot better than that.

On reflection ILx shouldn't be about Asperger's cases nitpicking word by trainspotting word by misinterpreted word when they should be worrying about real issues either. The only place any of that was "suggested" was in your diseased, poisoned mind.

That good enough for you?

that's twice i've flagged you. seriously. do you think that's in any way ok?

Sick, definitely check out Theo Parrish. You mentioned Robag Wruhme not being psychedelic enough... Theo's stuff is truly psychedelic in that its strangeness is deeply woven into the music (rather than feeling tacked-on or like flourishes). There's a roughness and a handmade quality to it that feels intimate and draws you in (if you're into that sort of feeling). The album Parallel Dimensions (2000) is a good starting point, I think.

I mean, I could have retorted "Couldn't you just get a life/have sex" but that would have been a cheap shot.

that's twice i've flagged you. seriously. do you think that's in any way ok?

Well done. You were expecting a medal?

God help boring 1985 leftie nitpickers arguing over nothing while the country slowly starves/drowns (whichever comes sooner).

But let's get out of here before this turns into the usual ILx bullying which attracts so many posters and readers.

Oh btw I have Asperger's. Maybe you're the one who should think before posting.

yeah you got my number. silly me for getting queasy over disablist slurs.

Marcello i work with people with Asperger's. I call them when they use unnecessarily offensive language too, not cos i'm a prissy liberal but because shit isn't right and i think they need to be told.

in all sincerity, you are better than that line.

sucks when people with Asperger's are also, unrelatedly, ridiculous hypocritical cunts

how did this thread take this turn

anyway I was going to recommend some older stuff before I saw the "last ten years" caveat, where I think I'm just about as at sea, so I was going to scrape a few suggestions off of this thread but instead I think I will go back to laughing at reddit

V happy to receive older recommendations too.

Looking at your likes you might like Shigeto's last two albums, kind of like Flying Lotus only a little more melodic?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cai1ExQdgDU&feature=youtube_gdata

This too.

Were you ever up on the early to mid 90s acid, a la Exposure, Burger Industries, Mike Ink, 80 AUM, Elevator 101, etc etc? A bunch of them are on this old comp which is one of my favorite things of all time:

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Rave-On/master/24927

Pretty much every track on here is amazing, running through acid, progressive house, straight-up rave/hardcore, and new beatish techno stuff; the only one I never really fully embraced was the Speedy J track.

Oh for older stuff, go listen to Mouse on Mars' first 2 or 3 albums, if you're not already familiar.

Oh, I like Shigeto. Oh and Slugabed's good too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6XqmzAzmEY

also those old Yolk singles are still mind-blowing to me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djHwq2sHGbY

V familiar with Mouse on Mars. Never heard of anything DJP just mentioned!

Oh hell yeah, DJP... Sick, you need to hear Las Vegas by Burger/Ink--one of my favorite electronic records ever.

Also, have you checked out much Hawtin/Plastikman? Also a wealth of goodness there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR9bBNaLcUc

This is kind a little like some of your disco likes, although I'd go check out Metro Area or Danny Wang first if you haven't heard much of them.

I know "Peak Experience" by Exposure is not going to be everyone's bag, especially since it starts out with over a minute of fucking around with filters on a monotone, but to my mind it's a perfect melding of trance-inducing stasis mixed in with rhythmic interplay; once the drums and sound effects get going and little sonic details start fading in and out, all while that monotone keeps wobbling away through different filters, it's fucking great. It's really a musical story told through rhythm, with all of the peaks and valleys and shade of a great melody only without the actual melody:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu9jGX9w5Pw

Sadly I don't think you get the full rumble of the bass on this, which also helps bolster and ground the stasis of the first minute, but when the drums start in the whole thing turns into a futuristic drum corps marching cadence and is just the best fucking thing

Oh for newer weird melodic not quite techno, Actress is pretty cool.

Tempted to post some crunchy Perc or Ancient Methods tunes, maybe not quite that mean.

Contrast that Exposure track to the Sonic Beat mix of "Elevation" by G.T.O., which also appears on Rave On! in edit form:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s38Nd7v46Q8

This is just straight up ravey hardcore greatness, unfiltered melodic id music designed to get your ass shaking and your hands waving in the air, and a totally different beast from the dronier, more sinister original mix (which btw is also awesome)

If you can find a copy of the Rave On! comp in a used bin somewhere, it is SO WORTH IT.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA91Hu0lkF8

Ok nother new one. This'd be on the "bass" side of things.

lol I thought I'd already babbled about that comp on here and lo and behold: RAVE ON!

Perc's Wicker and Steel album is so good- one of my faves from last year. Just walk around in the dark and rain with that shit on.

Much prefer Splaszh by Actress to his latest one RIP.

This is half of Sepalcure, he makes indie sounding footwork influenced music among other things. Infamous mustache.

It’s typical of you, NV, and of ILx in general, not to read the TOTALITY of what I have to say, but to jump on one tiny, MINUTE passing reference (which was NOT a “slur” but merely a statement of fact; delayed cognitive ability a.k.a. mental retardation is one of the defining diagnostic characteristics of patients with Down’s syndrome) and put your Out Of Context marker pen through it.

There have been plenty of offensive and in some cases actionable things said about people with Asperger’s on ILx over the years but it’s obviously harder to pick on those posters. Go for the easy target every time.

But, you know, NV, when it comes down to it, you don’t actually know me. So be a little more careful before jumping to conclusions about what I post and why I post it.

OK, show’s over, apologies for disrupting the thread, back to dance/electronica recommendations…

One day we're all going to end up in here: if an ilx beef threatens to take over a perfectly innocent thread you can politely direct people here.

... and today was that day

If you like Mouse on Mars and Cluster/Harmonia then you may like Schlammpeitziger, who is outside this thread's remit really as he isn't dancey and he hasn't done much in the past decade, but he makes woozy synthy noises in a Moebius&Plank-esque style

totally an indie-dance dilettante myself but that means there are things I like on your list so I will try to have some more relevant suggestions later

(btw DJP's suggestion of 90s releases which mentions Burger Industries and Mike Ink OTM, you may well like the mid-90s album "Las Vegas" they did together as Burger / Ink, plus Mike Ink is Wolfgang Voigt is Gas is about 6000 other names and also the head of Kompakt, stop me if my egg-sucking lecture is tiresome as iirc you are already familiar with Gas)

that would have been better if it was a disguised link to www.twitter.com xp

also I'm going to bring up Human Resource for what is probably the millionth time, but instead of talking about "Dominator" I'm gonna call out "The Joke", which is IMO just as great:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1bNdbb-lNg

Schlammpeitziger! Haven't listened to that in ages, but it's a tasty record... Another old indie-electronica classic is Snowboarding in Argentina by Swayzak (1998)--I remember loving it.

Sick, what is your tolerance for "dark" and grinding slower-paced techno with perhaps an industrial edge?

You know what I still really love? This:

If you like 90s techno/ rave you might like the new Gatekeeper album.
