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

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:

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.

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

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:

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...

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.

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:

"vocal" by Carly Ptak from Nautical Almanac

er dunno why that is blank, trying again (and, er, sorry)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSnFaVxcDbo&feature=youtu.be

cosign on that BNJMN recommendation; also Fatima al-Qadiri.

some indie-ish electronic/dance that springs to mind and I don't think have been mentioned):
Gold Panda -- Lucky Shiner (fits nicely in the orbit of The Field, Four Tet, Caribou)
Mount Kimbie -- Crooks & Lovers (not dance at all; sort of Boards of Canada meets a bunch of the UK "bass" music stuff)
Kuedo -- Severant (might be a backdoor to the footwork stuff that dog latin has been raving about, as it's more or less footwork + Vangelis + a certain strain of Southern US hip hop; pick a track at random and you'll be able to tell if you'll like it)

probably easier for a rockist to get into compilations than DJ mixes. the Hyperdub one from '05 might appeal (I definitely think you'd like Darkstar's "Aidys Girl's a Computer"), from this year Shangaan Shake has lots of great people on it that have been mentioned itt

How industrial/new-beaty can we get in our recommendations? Are you interested in stuff like Trust, Apoptygma Berzerk, A Split Second, old-skool Lords of Acid, VNV Nation, Poesie Noire, old-skool Shamen (talking pre-En-Tact), Meat Beat Manifesto, etc etc

ack. I was trying to link RRose's remix of a Matmos track called "You" but it doesn't load for some reason. But it's out there on YouTube and if you like RRose, you might dig it.

Thanks for pointing that out, tune... Awesome.

I realise this thread came out of the discussion about how many physical album purchases people had made which in turn came out of (I think) a Grizzly Bear thread and you're addressing the issue of missing out on one-offs because of the way you currently buy music ... but I'm mulling over the idea that sometimes there's a value to not hearing stuff.

My own access to music and listening habits have changed with a shift from music journalism to an unrelated 9-5 job which circumvents listening to music in the day (unless I'm driving) but my enjoyment of music hasn't changed ... and I can actually afford to buy music now.

(Not intended to be a criticism of the thread and not a completely coherent and thought-through idea).

That said, I'd guess you'd like Diagrams based on other music I've heard/read you recommend.

looking at your list of "likes" here are some bits that spring to mind that might be up your cul de sac (on the daphni/four tet tangent in particular)

Jaques Greene's remix of "Lotus Flower" by Radiohead
Julio Bashmore - "Footsteppin'"
Floating Points "Arp 3 EP" or "Vacuum EP" or "Peoples Potential" or his remix of Four Tet "sing"
Space Dimension Controller - Journey to the Core of the Unknown Sphere on Clone Royal Oak
XXXY - Ordinary Things
Lone remix of Knight Moves by Chilly Gonzalez

this ...

Tensnake in the house comp, it's a really varied collection and also Perc's recentish A New Brutality ep which really bodes well for his next lp. Not sure if I fully understand what you are asking for but both these might please someone of a more rockist persuasion.

So did you find anything you liked Sicko?

Still need to trawl through all the recommendations! Will do so in a couple of weeks time once we're finally moved house.

lock thread

Not new but currently obsessing me and it fits the lush, sad techno vibe.

"trauermusik" is the best thing

As far as I remember the Kompakt compilation it comes off is by some way the best of the later Totals.
