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

Yeah, it was first coined to describe what Total Freedom, Lotic, Rabit, etc were doing. But it's since been absorbed as an influence, reacted against, transformed, etc and is essentially meaningless now.

(which is why I started the misfit club etc thread to bring those different strains of non-techno dance {and non-dance} music that I'm interested in)

should a 2019 thread be made? meaningless beats 2019? or something?

until then, appreciating this rollover from late 2018 gonzo mid-fi post night slugs + breaks thing

Lorenzo Senni’s hyper-edited earlier stuff is probably the obvious reconstructed version

Nkisi really hitting the spot.

should a 2019 thread be made? meaningless beats 2019? or something?

The other thread isn't technically tied to a year, but I'd be fine with a new one if it's unwieldy (length or concept-wise)? Maybe a fresh start would be nice.

the misfit one ... am i insane or did it not say 2018 ...not that it matters!! happy to have this thread be the repository for this confusing tendency. thank you by the way for all your contributions

another one, nyege nyege doing it again

Oh you're right! I'll start a new thread later (or feel free to do it if you have a cute title).

That track is pretty wild, will check out the release for sure.

this is for techno/house not British guys doing footwork or whatever

Yeah please use the other thread.

Oooh. Ok, bye techno dudes.

Rolling Reconstructed Club Music 2019

this is for techno/house hipster garbage like rezzett and skee mask, not British guys doing footwork or whatever

good weird shit

psherb did a writeup on pfork today, surprised me b/c i thought only i cared about RAP

really got into this Ossia album released this year

checking out that RAP album

speaking of cross-genre album exercises, still trying to figure out if I like Heavy the Eclipse, the Clouds one

anyone else heard it?

new to me, wild album art and track titles

been meaning to listen to the ossia lp

RAP really upped the game on names that are unsearchable on streaming services, huh

guess that is one way to make a bandcamp sale

Ha, that was the only way I could find it (w/the label name). Maybe it's not on streaming services though, there's no way to know.

I was totally stumped the other day after hearing a mix and some tracks by a producer named 'Toni' on NTS the other day. Track names were all generic single words. Couldn't find a soundcloud, twitter, absolutely nothing. Good job Toni.

hey man RAP is just a good name

the original fan

hah, I was referencing The Locust last week

but yes, the RAP release isn't on anything other than bandcamp afaict

ciderpress, what comic is that? I remember it from somewhere but I'm drawing a blank

dunno i think it's from some locust related record sleeve or merch or zine. it was briefly a meme on SA at some point back in the 00s which is where i have it from

ah, that makes sense

lyra valenza - reality blizz (opal tapes)

after living inside the ambient poll for a while it’s a lovely shock to remember that yes, i do like to be X-CITE-D

New Young Marco is exceptional to me on the pseudo fourth world mallets bamboo and dx7 tip.

the pseudo fourth world mallets bamboo and dx7 tip

this really should be its own bin card in every record store

oh sweet, biology is one of my favorite albums this decade

I agree, Paul

I also want a “fender Rhodes and bongos” section

my standard eye catcher was always "handclaps, accordion and theremin"

the best dance reviews are the capsule blurbs on hardwax

lol rong thread

rong thread but otm

i wasn't sure if my lyra valenza rec belonged in this thread lol and here i am coming to post another thing i am unsure about

i know the phrase 'brooklyn techno' could cause eyerolls or worse, but lately things have been a lot more chill here thanks in so small part to acemo

So that Octo Octa record, any good?

It’s great. Being discussed on her own Thread
Octo Octa &c

aha, thanks, a classic "people who are clearly doing it wrong" move!

everyone listen to topdown dialectic

somehow I missed the first topdown dialectic album until the new one was announced

now I must say: listen to Brad. it's good

octo octa is great btw

new baltra album is good house* album

I dunno if it counts as * or when it came out but this NHK yx Koxyen "Doom Steppy Reverb" is ~~✓¥∆~~

I implore you to check it

Not sure what genre it falls under but Barker's Utility is great. Where artists like Lorenzo Senni have left me cool, this just hit the right spots. Wish the tracks were longer though, each could be it's own 10 minute exploratory jam.

yeah otm really nice but way too short

Yeah 'Utility' is a great work album

I might wonder why, after all the fanfare for "String Theory," Mandar's 2017 S/T album never got any attention. Except the reason seems obvious: they gratuitously put it out on five 180g discs. That said, it is classy minimal house at its finest.
