Recommend Sick Mouthy some dance / electronic music that comes in individual tracks / singles, please

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.

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:

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.

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NnDJtpKNnM

And also this: WHY THEY HIDE THEIR BODIES UNDER MY GARAGE?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc9Gs4R1WQk

And this guy. Who's newer and definitely fits with John Talabot and the newer Four Tet stuff.

Good call; really like BNJMN. I think that would be right up your alley, Sick.

Re older stuff check out the Virgo album from 1989 (I think) - made by OG Chicago house guys but also completely works as home listening for indie fuxxors like me.

YES. Great call on Virgo Four. Resurrection is also totally essential. I LOVE this dude Kassem Mosse:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IYGzKHwntQ&feature=related

Kassem Mosse seconded, man has done very little wrong and deserves all the accolation.

If you do have a tolerance for more grinding/gritty post-industrial-tinged stuff, RROSE is essential.

haven't really got my head round kassem mosse. i got hold of a bunch of stuff by him a while back but i wasn't sure where to begin.

Never really dabbled with anything grinding / gritty / post-industrial, but I do love Only Heaven by Young Gods and the last couple of Swans albums, so suspect I could move in that direction...

http://www.mixcloud.com/josiahs1/babylon-sisterrr-depth-charge/

Don't want to pimp my mixes too much but this is some disco, house and techno I've been listening to, there's some Kassem Mosse and some older disco in there.

But really there are tons of mixes on the DJ thread that are good for this kind of stuff.

This is one of my favorite Rrose tracks; definitely demands greater fidelity than youtube provides (sorry Lex, fidelity does matter!) because of all the little wiggly details in the sound.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-36YzS5ByDQ&feature=related

Here's that Rrose track on Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/track/56xo9wa9YRJCfsETC9Q5eA

btw never heard of this before, it's fucking GREAT

you'd probably like the richard davis album 'details' if you haven't heard it already. sad longing techno, lots of beautiful strings + echoing piano chords, real proper actual songs, restrained, very good this time of year

yeh i wouldn't bother with that villalobos ECM album, if you want one thing by him get alcachofa. drifting drones and ping pong balls and deeeeeeep bass very organic strangely funky couple of the "hits" are on it

Glad you like! Other Rrose tracks to check out:

"Shepherd's Brine"
"With All Faces Bleached Out" (he has the best titles)
"Waterfall"

Ah, fuck it; it's all great!

this thread should prove a useful resource.

X-post If you like industrial and early rave you might want to go check out Sandwell District and Perc Trax a little DJP, that's pretty much where they're coming from.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkAoLrII0Pw

Or them, which is about as far from indie friendly dance music as you can get.

"pitch black war funk"

yeh also cut hands, regis, concrete fence, boddika, vatican shadow, russel haswell, raime, peverelist all hitting a similar vibe to the rrose/sandwell district noise + techno thing

Agreed... I find some of that Blackest Ever Black stuff to get a little self-consciously gothy/dark for my tastes and prefer the more abstract "pure techno" vibe of the Sandwell stuff, but it's definitely worth investigating.

On a completely different note: Anton Zap!

No wait that first rip clips all over the place.

Someone else tell Sick Mouthy to listen to Theo Parrish, I need to get some sleep.

I already did ;-)

sorry for gross self-promo bomb, but if you're feeling RRose, you're definitely not alone:
