Rolling techno* albums thread for people who are clearly doing it wrong

yah, part of why they sought him out, it's just such a singular release

that one track is a service to both the trees and the leaves that grow on them

Just listened to the Shinichi Atobe album a few hours ago. It's really nice! Granted, I don't know his earlier stuff, but the soft melodies and textural details sound kind of like dubby microhouse stuff I like a whole bunch.

kind of the whole deal is that he had one release, four tracks, on basic channel, ever, and that was it

the story is that they tracked him down and he had this unreleased stuff and it got compiled, but ~it is a mystery~

for all we know they just figured out it was one of the german dudes like dj pete who did a one-off under a japanese name and they got some more stuff

i am impressed by how the nick höppner album hangs together, is excellent on a track-by-track basis, and mixes well. good bang for one's buck. also hardwax aif downloads are a good deal right now with the weakening euro.

yeah, the nick höppner album is great

Absolutely loving this album:

Judging by the tracklisting that would appear to be some kind of Vatican Shadow side-project about Norse mythology.

Gone back to the atobe record - free access zone 5 is good actually, missed that one before, still a bit underwhelmed by the rest - but, expectation and all that

Judging by the tracklisting that would appear to be some kind of Vatican Shadow side-project about Norse mythology.

Varg side-project, but yeah, you have the right idea.

anyone listened to this new Ilpo Väisänen album yet? kind of interested.

Lakker album is a very nice combination of grey crunchy bassiness and heavenly hosts bringing thee ethereal light

Ooh I like Lakker's last couple of EPs a lot, will have to check that out.

highly recommended album

Hunee‘s cooking up a summer classic

that hunee album is so fantastic. should be up the street of anyone who enjoyed leon vynehall

moritz von oswald trio - sounding lines
M.E.S.H. - piteous gate
Hunee

deepchord - lanterns

Co Kla Coma aka Severed Heads - Co Klo Pop
Tom Ellard aka Co Kla Coma - Rhine
Kassem Mosse / Simone White - Three Versions

(not all of these are in the new releases pile obviously)

That Kassem Moss/Simone White is shaping up to be one of my favourites of the year

hunee album is really good, agreed!

I am liking that new Acronym one a lot on the first listen.

damn yeah

Hunee record is great, thank you for that everyone. Played the Acronym earlier too and enjoyed it - begins in the same sort of drifty ballpark as mountains or emeralds but towards the back half it starts thumping away quite pleasantly iirc

I love that "Rare Happiness" track off the Hunee album. The rest hasnt really sunk in yet

The Hunee album is so refreshing and sun-speckled. Not sure about the last two tracks - they're not bad, they just don't feel part of the same album - but it's put a smile on my face every time I've played it.

This Perfume Advert Cassette on Opal Tapes is a total belter - really lovely, foggy dub techno and electronica

This new Steve Hauschildt on headphones 👌

hauschildt rules ... but is it techno?

no remorse

"tragedy & geometry" was very much the jam and i hope someday to see this artist's work in person

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Nlr4QGUmL.jpg

it's not techno

and it's more subdued even than earlier stuff but somehow that makes it seem more listenable (even though what i really yearn for is more hyperdriven woodoowoodoowoodoowoodoo synth arpeggiation)

THE HELENA HAUFF ALBUM

yes, it's quite good

iirc you compared it to miss kittin

The Helena Hauff album is incredible.

Hauff album is great though i think i like a tape just as much.

Has some of the same lost in the woods on a cold planet vibe I get from Charles Cohen's Brother, I Prove You Wrong.

not an album, but beatrice dillon's latest 12" on where to now? is nothing short of amazing.

from the hauff album, 'l'homme mort' is the only keeper imho. can't get into the whole goth/minimal wave/witchy vibe of the rest.

discovered this dude after seeing an upcoming album on Apothecary Compositions, and fell in love with his previous one:

https://kazukikoga.bandcamp.com/album/alleingehen20

lots of repurposed metal drum solos, it sounds like. :)

really enjoying the Regis album, even if parts feel a little like a post-punk/goth pastiche

still been digging this gunnar haslam from last year all year long

http://www.discogs.com/Gunnar-Haslam-Mirrors-And-Copulation/master/760421

good lively early-winter mood-changer

Yes

I like the Lauer album a lot and see any mention of it here. kinda cheerfull synth pop x house vibes. quality

hieroglyphic being album on soul jazz is great, how it compares to the other 544 hieroglyphic being albums i know not

that nidia minaj one is a good listen too imo

I would love to see some year-end top 10's in this vein.

if i was doing a dance-only list it'd go

1. levon vincent - levon vincent
2. helena hauff - discreet desires
3. nozinja - nozinja lodge
4. holly herndon - platform
5. jam city - dream a garden
6. flava d - more love
7. jlin - dark energy
8. dj richard - grind
9. vakula - a voyage to arcturus
10. nidia minaj - danger
11. fatima yamaha - imaginary lines
12. floating points - elaenia
13. hunee - hunch music
14. romare - projections
14. heavy-k - respect the drumboss 2015
15. anna caragnano & donato dozzy - sintetizzatrice
16. blondes - rein
17. darkstar - foam island

I love the Jam City and Caragnano/Dozzy but I can't imagine thinking of them as dance music, really.

yeah the jam city was excellent

The new Donato Dozzy album (Loud Silence) is pretty disappointing. It's like he takes the same concept as Aphex Twin did 25 years ago with "Didgeridoo" - the similarity between acoustic instruments and oscillating electronic sounds - except he's using mouth harp instead of didgeridoo, and stretches it over several tracks. It's not a an unworthy idea, but who needs a full album of that? Sintetizzatrice I found to be a bit more interesting, but I think it suffered from the same flaw of spreading a simple idea too thin. I wish DD would stop releasing these concept albums (this is the third in row!) and go back to proper techno, like K and Voices from the Lake.
