"Mutant slow techno and Kevin Drumm records..." - A thread for Raime, Chasing Voices, Old Apparatus etc.

yeah, it's well-executed if a little samey and... minimal

sounds about right. the review on RA got me curious but I've never really been floored by any their older cuts.

You know, Kevin Drumm records really seem like an outlier in this thread title. I've been listening to his work a lot, lately, though. That Tannenbaum recording that was just released.

humid weather is worth a gander

digging the clips of the 'Spit' LP by Ron Morelli, the L.I.E.S. dude, here http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/view/118239

sounds kinda 80s industrial (pre-rock version) but I'm OK w/ that

i've always wanted to say that none of these records touch kevin drumm and l.i.e.s can go fuck itself

why in particular (re L.I.E.S)? don't have any properly formed opinion on the label myself

That Ron Morelli album isn't as good as I hoped it would be. Cool cover though

This guy is one of my oldest friends. I don't know what to say.

because l.i.e.s. is totally overhyped

That new Rainer Veil ep has at least one track that reminds me of the ambient/dnb edge of old Alec Empire/Christoph de Babalon records

something that's definitely come to my mind more than a few times

For a white artist to make a record and then claim it is the work of African musicians is to eradicate the work of black musicians.

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surprised it's taken this long for someone to write an article about how "problematic" Cut Hands are.

wtf at shit being sold on BEB web store by known malcontents

I think there are a lot of problems with regressive (for lack of a better term) themes being used to create transgressive art when you're a cis white male, both in the inability for people with a casual interest to tell a difference, and also in that the artists seem to revert to form

Surprised it's taken this long for someone to write an article about how "problematic" Cut Hands are.

sun city girls take-down still in the ether

there was this: http://arabicpress.wordpress.com/2009/07/26/omar-souleymans-rise-to-indie-hipster-semifame

( with response from alan bishop in the comments)

ehh, I think the appropriation is secondary to the fact that it's being done by someone with a history of problematic use of cultural symbols

SCG have had the 'problematic' going over from The Wire in the past decade, it wasn't that convincing iirc, one or both of the Bishops have ethered them in response, it's easily googleable

do you think a middle aged white (1/8th druze!) guy decrying political correctness counts as an ethering? they have some sense that they are always punching up due to the scene they inhabit but i am curious what idk ayesha siddiqui or someone wld make of them

That video? Fuck that guy.

Ugh can there be a "let's point at horrible racists" thread so this one doesn't get all shitted up with irrelevancies?

otm, sorry

No surprise, but the Old Apparatus album from last year is really nice!

Would Prostitutes fit in this thread somehow? I've gotten around to listening to this recent album and am enjoying it

The first thing I heard in this vein (thanks to this thread) was Chasing Voices' "Acidbathory" 12", and it's still my favorite thing. Love, love, love that track so much. Got quickly burned out on everything else (and I'm throwing Demdike in there too). Raime peaked with their first 12", BEB started releasing goth records, etc

Any opinions on the Dalhous album?

Oake. With abstract female vocals, sort of like Seefeel without any warmth, played at 16 rpm.

Great track.

Samples of the forthcoming Oake album are sounding promising:

Checking that out on Youtube, it's great! Thanks!

Opal Tapes is all over the place, but some of their releases are very this-thread.

Thread reminds me I bought the Oake album but still need to listen it.

Tarcar's EP from late last year on Blackest Ever Black is good if you're into the whole BEB thing

Actually everyone who reads this thread is probably into the whole BEB thing

Love that Tarcar EP. I've had a bit of a hard time getting into the Oake album, but I'm still trying. The EP grabbed me right away.

I don't know anything about D​.​Å​.​R​.​F​.​D​.​H​.​S., but I enjoy the weird, dubby, 80s death industrial meets Ekoplekz sound of "Kill All Bullies."

New Samuel Kerridge album is streaming:

ooh will check out tomorrow

Did anyone listen to the Drumm/Lescaleet collaboration 'The Abyss'? On the surface it's an ambient noise thing with some quite harsh or jarring frequencies, but after a couple of listens there's definitely more to it than that. Maybe not quite as good as Lambkin & Lescaleet's 'Photographs' from a year or two ago, but well worth a look.

I want more people to like Ekoplekz. So I can talk about Ekoplekz. The new Entropik EP is two long tracks sorta named after Joey Beltram and Spacemen 3 tracks (and sort of vibing along those lines). It's on Spotify.

His instruments hiss and fizz as though they could deliver a nasty shock if improperly handled. Those bass sounds are so fucked up and dirty - in a way this is what I've always secretly wanted dub to sound like. I've always been in love with the idea of Lee Perry or King Tubby surrounded by tape equipment, wrecked'n'repaired electronics, multi-coloured wires spitting out of crust-enfilled sockets in a van or a ramshackle hut somewhere. This kind of takes it to its logical conclusion - creating true dub sounds using the studio itself as an instrument, rather than reconstructing pre-existing recordings.

This is a great descrpiption!

ugh those titles tho

Yeah I'm not too bothered with titles tbh. He tends to get a bit cheesier with his EP titles.

ive downloaded all of his flacs but only played a few of them, the mego one last year is interesting

Ekoplekz is the artist name of Nick Edwards, a 44-year-old property developer from Bristol

theres a forum page somewhere where english people get upset about this lms

i'm into this
