the MSPE and Yakine tracks are both bucolic treats, MS has been doing great in that number 10 role for a while now

Liking a lot more tracks from this thread this year than I did last year, and trying to figure out why (me? changes in musical trends? changes in who is posting what?), but I'm happy about it. Are the cognoscenti feeling this is an especially good year for house, or not really?
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 24 April 2017 04:28 (seven years ago) link
not particularly
― the late great, Monday, 24 April 2017 04:44 (seven years ago) link
Depends what it is that you like?
I don't think its an especially good year for house records at all! though there have been some stellar mixes which have put a spring in a step and a hope in a heart, but a lot of those records I don't know what they are - they might be old they might be new.
― saer, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 09:42 (seven years ago) link
A lot of the good records from other years have had more time to emerge from the undergrowth! Not every one is out on the beach waving their ice cones around on day one
― saer, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 09:47 (seven years ago) link
It could just be that I'm more receptive to it.
I don't feel too confident talking about the finer genre distinctions within house. I know I don't care for most jackin house. I'm sort of UK garage-centric but like a lot of deep house (but that also leaves a lot I don't like).
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 15:56 (seven years ago) link
I dont know anything about genre distinctions and never talk about them, I only like records and also feeling genial
― saer, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 16:02 (seven years ago) link
I'm being somewhat disingenuous - there are a couple of genre distinctions i adhere to. there are miscreants, but not all miscreants are the same, some are proper meat pie and others are more smoking behind the bikesheds. Those share some dna with cabin in the woods records but those have to be used sparingly, same as with canal dredgers - a little goes a long way. Then there are the convivial cap doffers, meadow vibes, you can play them over the tannoy at boundary park still today. and some records are just proper deckchair. Just a matter of time before bank holiday bill and the charnock richard boys turn up. this is what my record bag looks like
generally a mix of deckchair and miscreant is good but dont overthink it or you might miss your stop!
― saer, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 16:20 (seven years ago) link
That said unfortunately most records are none of these things and are exercises in drudgery or a painful attack on the senses from people who would have been better off bullying children

Both recent hits in my town. Having said that there is plenty to avoid! Had the displeasure of seeing Jackmaster at Fabric this morning...

I'm not big on the idea of a year being good or bad for music. Seems like it has everything to do with what you happen to be exposed to, in relation to your tastes, and your tastes in relation to external factors like music discourse and age, and very little to do with the year itself. I realize this is implicit, but I still think it's annoying when people complain about the year when it's like, don't blame the calendar for your inability to find good records.
This is technically 2016, but from the last 12 months. It's a really nice ep: https://soundcloud.com/helena_label/sets/aleks-future-dialect-ep

I like a lot of the stuff coming out of Frankfurt the last couple of years, and while I like Phil Evans is it just me or are his records always out of tune! Does feel like a scene on the upswing though!

What was the issue with Jackmaster at Fabric? Never seen him live but I didn't think he was bad?

(For the perceptibly many of us without the vinyl) is it a generally known thing that Prince of Denmark's "8" is on Spotify and Tidal?
If not, it's there. There there. Both theres.
― sombrerodetuned (sombrerodetune), Monday, 1 May 2017 20:25 (seven years ago) link
FWIW, "8" sounds like a needle drop on both services.

just read there is a new Terrence Dixon album in July. I'm really up for that.
― calzino, Monday, 1 May 2017 22:33 (seven years ago) link
weirdly it is a concept album of all like 2-3 minute tracks, right?
― the late great, Monday, 1 May 2017 22:35 (seven years ago) link
actually that's wrong, I thought it was 21 tracks 50 minutes, but it's 21 tracks 80 minutes. wonder if they will vary a lot in length and structure or if it will be 21 4-minute monotone bangers
his tresor album of monotone bangers from 2012 still gets played round these parts

The sample track I'm listening to is 6 mins+ and pretty good.
Willie Dixon, Bill Dixon, Dixon's Ice Cream
The name always delivers for me.

Some lovely moments on the Mr YT comp "Brand New Day". Mr YT is Japanese producer Yuji Technouchi apparently - not on my radar at all. This is a compilation of ep's that originally came out 97-98. Class.
