House & Techno Bobbins 2016

definitely reads like pop/EDM James Blake or Jai Paul. some cool production touches but eh, it's so breathless and eager to please.

side note, i listened to J Blake's entire discography yesterday. really cool listening back to the early EPs in hindsight, there's so much of his voice (and whole toolkit in general) on 'The Bells Sketch' even. anyway.

thaaaaaaaaaank you

Not eager to please enough ;)

idk if it's up anyone else's alley but I've enjoyed this mix by svreca:

I was underwhelmed by the 2nd time passages release when it came out last year but this last weekend i got lost in the catacombs / council offices after taking a wrong turn underneath the bus stations. And it immediately came to mind, space travel, igneous rocks, the musky atmosphere of abandoned files. I needed to go and buy the spacetravel record, they didnt have it in the local bring & buy sale, and it was £66 on discogs, but thats what you get for sleeping in

That Skee Mask lp is totally ace, my fave techno lp since the last Shed one.

Trying to work out where the dialogue is from in spacetravel at 3.50....seems familiar

This link probably isn't even necessary since y'all live in the world, but new Mr. Fingers rolls simply and beautifully along. Those chords.

great moody synth-filled jam at 106 bpm here

Inoue Shirabe - Function Spring

Looking forward to the forthcoming Mood Hut release Disco Mantras: https://soundcloud.com/mood-hut/mh012-disco-mantras

I liked Inoue Shirabe's release last year on Antinote (along with Domenique Dumont, Leonardo Martelli was other good thing on that label imo from 2015).

this one from 2015

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S252YSJRuk

it's from an album on fred p's label, a bit too heads-down techno for the albums thread but a really great album

for when you're in a mills-ian mood i guess

one for the industrial / ebm heads

SIT record almost here

should have released it last year or left it commercially unavailable though...

Playlist is updated, though spotty as hell. Where semi-appropriate, I've put in music from artists mentioned from '15-'16 as placeholders.

FINALLY a vinyl release for this, Brian Harden with the rough guide to big dogs and non-league reverie

some other tracks too

dunno if this french pop is bobbins, it's on the new brodinski mix

Lovely stuff ^^

the first spacetravel record took me a while to get into but it crept up in the end, like a ghost drifting into the six yard box.

i like the B1 on the new one, not sure about the others tho

love this track and it has a four-on-the-floor kick so here it goes:

it's almost steve reich-y in how systematically it goes through different rhythmic permutations.

Limerick lad so I'm giving him a plug. Very rootsy/dubby track this one

This is from last fall, but I've been listening to a it a lot lately.

^an irl pal, and that's probably my favorite track of his.

Vera: " You might listen to a track and think, "This could be good for an afterhour," "This would be nice for a warm-up," or "This is really warm and it's going to give a hug to someone"

Wise words, a record that gives a hug is a record that is played again, its contribution to reverie, invaluable

a cheery wave from moscow

wish i were in moscow suddenly.

anyway just popped in to say that the new moomin LP is very good on first listen.

I was feeling that as well, it was kind of slight but in the best possible way.

I hadn't been taken with any of the Moomin records, but really liked one of the tracks on the last 12", Aquarama, I didn't know there was an LP to go along with it

Not familiar w/ this artist, but these tracks are sounding good.

Heard the b side here a few times. Finally found it.

that's a really great vera interview, thx saer!

That Mézigue track upthread is pretty cool, finally realized what disco track it samples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkGRIn8Cj58

great record, did you know it before? I hadnt actually heard it before seeing it mentioned on the Mézigue discogs page

the gritty, the hard kicks, the phat basslines, the jazz chords, the lost days in Southport, the bacon baps and the lost chalets, its back

lets talk about The Garage, Shelter, Zanzibar, Blundell Park, Spotland, crazy memories, its back

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4vGBGFl4Ko

apologies to Jovonn and all who made the trip

^^^ love it

This is very really lovely, sounds like a locomotive floating through a desert at night but w/ some really efficient 808 handclaps thrown in

I heard a vibey piece of music the other night, which was particularly flimsy and i couldnt remember anything about it other than it was good and I wanted to buy a copy, but then I remembered it had a sampled snippet of speech in it, enough to google just now while I was on the bus

it said

"Everything connects, Charlie, whether you know it or not. You need to stop and think it through. All right"

this seems to be from a recent television programme, Boardwalk Empire, which means its a new (or relatively new) record. I dont know what it is though

wait xp oops I didn't even post the link apparently, let's try this again

^Avalon Emerson is super talented

That Terrence Parker track is great!

really impressed with the production on 2 new tracks by Truce on the keysound label, deeptech/house sound

Truce - Be there
https://open.spotify.com/track/6YTmV7izTmnX2TVB3y2XzB

Truce - Uhh

Boomkat Product Review:
Keysound chase a London deeptech/house sound with two lean, supple shufflers from Truce.

Be There rolls with ice cold bass motif and pin-sharp drum patter for the dancers; Uhh drops the temperature a few more degrees for a locked-in, head-high stride detailed with crisp rimshots and Gqom-esque grunting vocal stab.

Stereociti - Lost Land.
"Japanese deepcore" - the first track is particularly good. A superb vinyl pressing, too. (As is the Mr. Fingers EP.)
https://mojubarecords.bandcamp.com/album/lost-land

one of itch-e and scratch-e, this was unreleased for a long time but here it is bold as brass with a meat pie on its plate

The Mr Fingers EP is great springtime deep house
