ok fuck yes

NAAFI is ascendant. this is my favorite thing debit has done

Agreed!

I did an interview with LOFT for the podcast I've been doing lately, thought it would be of interest to people following this thread:

Been hearing a lot from this Oli XL record in recent mixes:
https://blo-om.bandcamp.com/album/rogue-intruder-soul-enhancer

Speaking of, some nice mixes from Air Max '97 and DJ Plead:
https://soundcloud.com/djmag/recognise-air-max-97
https://soundcloud.com/factmag/fact-mix-717-dj-plead-july-19

And some Baltimore club from Calvo:

new dj haram bringing it, riyl dj plead or debit's new one

https://soundcloud.com/hyperdub/dj-haram-gemini-rising-taken-from-grace-out-5th-july

It's raw, fits surprisingly well on Hyperdub. Seems like they're getting back in the game and putting on a lot of good younger producers (Loraine James, etc)

https://soundcloud.com/northernelectronics/e-saggila-pattern-obligation

taster from new E-Saggila album out next month.

Loraine James is incredibly good, had no idea Hyperdub had picked her up until getting promo notification of such

the post post post dubstep life is good

Happy Friday?

New Leonce is great as always:
https://leonce.xyz/album/penetration-testing-ep

Upcoming BFTT ep is great in that hyper-detailed Metrist/Batu/Oli XL style of recent posts:
https://soundcloud.com/djmag/premiere-bftt-ofusc

Not entirely dissimilar vibe on this Lurka ep for Wisdom Teeth:
https://wisdomteethuk.bandcamp.com/album/lurka-stay-lets-together

Distorted/dubbed out edits of Iranian music:
https://astralplanerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/mahur-club

This is of course ridiculously fun & good (Bollywood edits from Manara and basically everyone)
https://ultimatespicemix.bandcamp.com/releases

And that BFTT EP on Gobstopper is out and excellent
https://bftt.bandcamp.com/album/versioning

Oh and Knightwerk has been putting out some killers as always

https://knightwerk.bandcamp.com/album/s4-66-sagg

https://knightwerk.bandcamp.com/album/invocation

This does hardcore revival right and takes it somewhere fresh imo (Rui Ho on Objects Ltd)
https://ruiho.bandcamp.com/album/in-pursuit-of-the-sun

I've been enjoying stuff by filmmaker (https://filmmaker.bandcamp.com/) lately

I've only listened to two of the six albums released this year, but so far this is all good

full albums are also on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmof5MFXxjc

New Blanck Mass edging too close to the anthemic 1995 Mortal Kombat s/t aesthetic for my taste.

oh man, i feel exactly the opposite but i totally agree with your assessment!

it’s a little too on blast, agreed

I love the new Blanck Mass album. I'm kind of surprised he doesn't have a dedicated thread by now. "No Dice" is the standout for me. It's catchy and so stylistically audacious. Makes me smile every time I hear it. I'll admit to experiencing a bit of fatigue when listening all the way through on headphones - which was the case with World Eater, too, but he's just cornered the market on whatever genre this is. When I play something new in the house, my wife likes to try to guess when it was made and she was completely stumped by this album.

there's a fuck buttons thread i think. This is a very 'tarot sports' album imo, which - if i wasn't clear before - means i like it a lot.
Fuck Buttons: Pretty/Noisy band on ATP Recordings: Dígame Más Por Favor

Here's my personal contribution to the thread for this year --
https://astralplanerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/seven-spheres
https://open.spotify.com/album/69dl4uZ2iHY1EYizzxHwXG?si=gYKEXqAJTAuFwZYEKboHOA

That's great, especially the back half :)

thank you <3

Fundraising comp with some serious names & tracks:
https://coochella.bandcamp.com/releases

And a new free Boxed comp that I haven't even begun to dig into:
https://boxedldn.bandcamp.com/album/boxed-mmxx

seconding praise for chants!

this is cool, more jazzy aspects

https://afrikansciences.bandcamp.com/album/centered

now that i have listened to the LOFT a few times i have decided i don't like it. it's like 'eruption' but for ableton, just endless digital fireworks but no groove. v disappointed bc i really liked their earlier stuff

much appreciated churl <3

yeah, that chants has been treating me good; thanks jordan

:))))))

Damn, Leonce keeps bringing it
https://leonce.xyz/album/tripwires-ep

that's sick, really bringing some seriously impactful drums

https://soundcloud.com/comeme/joe-get-centred

almost reichian

soniccouture i feel like is having a good few years lol

I like those tracks but feel conflicted about the project of making dance music in 7/8. It would be cool to blend with 4/4 though!

The DJ Haram RA mix rips, and I'm not just saying that because I have a track in it (!).

I agree it looks wack as fuck on paper but works sonically imo

Congrats on the track!

Feel like overall 2019 hasn’t quite delivered the reconstructed goods ...

https://northernelectronics.bandcamp.com/album/my-world-my-way

I like this one a lot but perhaps it's more scratching industrial itches (better see the doc about them!)

oops just realised I posted same album to this thread 2 months ago, never mind!

Feel like overall 2019 hasn’t quite delivered the reconstructed goods ...

Idk, I feel really good about this year, but mostly through mixes and one-offs rather than big statement releases maybe? There have been some big stand-outs like Le Dom, DJ Plead, Leonce, Siete Catorce, and amazondotcom though.

Here's some straight-up ballroom bangers:
https://byrellthegreat.bandcamp.com/album/the-book-of-vanity

And some different takes on cumbia edits:
https://hiedrah.bandcamp.com/album/bichote-k-bailable-vol-1

fair enough im probably just flaunting my own ignorance lol

the amazon is def the best one so far, leonce first track hits super hard but the rapping at the end of the EP ......

enjoying this RN, more laid back playful vibes, post vaporwave RCM? track 6 slaps

https://open.spotify.com/album/69BWxjUOKbQoOOCB5WEzda?si=g1AMw2zeQ7KX7BS8raXWgw

i need to get off my ass and just make the industrial-cumbia-ragga-step record i am hearing in my head

Oh I actually don't like that Leonce EP nearly as much as this other new one:

https://leonce.xyz/album/penetration-testing-ep

Which makes sense as I think the Night Slugs one has tracks that are 2 - 3 years old and took forever to come up (drama with another label). Although, the last track with the ballroom mc is my favorite by far. :)

Still need to check out that Complete Walkthru record, he's great though.

i need to get off my ass and just make the industrial-cumbia-ragga-step record i am hearing in my head

yes

Then on the hardcore futurist (but still dance music) tip there's this:
https://isomov.bandcamp.com/releases

ooh, thanks for the tip!

I was listening to a bunch of stuff on the Posh Isolation label earlier today after starting with this compilation I grabbed a while back: https://poshisolation.bandcamp.com/album/summer-storms

New Air Max '97 on Timedance, love the b-side
https://airmax97.bandcamp.com/album/ice-bridge-bruxis

Svbkvlt records are always interesting, and this 33EMYBW one has Ikonika and Lechuga Zafiro remixes (!)
https://svbkvlt.bandcamp.com/album/arthropods

And one of my favorite people (who also masters all of my releases) just dropped a new Liquid City Motors EP!
https://liquidcitymotors.bandcamp.com/releases

I remember hearing these tracks awhile back, very minimal but beguiling, and they sound amazing on a loud system.

This super tight synth-led uptempo tribal guarachero, on Siete Catorce's label, really good:

https://subreal.bandcamp.com/album/poliformo

still working through listening to the backlog of musicians I saw live in the last months and made notes to check out later

Msylma’s live show was cool. And (braggin’ 2019) as I was sitting in the dark at the back against a wall, I noticed a couple sitting a few feet away kind of vibing and occasionally chatting. Once my eyes adjusted I figured out it was Vladislav Delay/ Agf
:O

From the crew, free pack of edits from SHALT ('Yeah' is a must)
https://shaltmusic.bandcamp.com/album/lt-edits-iii

And a superlative AYA track in drum & bass mode:
https://soundcloud.com/illegaldata/aya-i-will-not-come-at-your-beck-and-call

Wait so is aya fka LOFT? Can’t keep up

Enjoying the boreal massif album

yeah!

On the darker/more industrial/Bristol-ish end of things, the Giant Swan is excellent.

caught siete catorce and debit a few weeks back in nyc; they slayed, room didnt quite do it justice but imo relatively slower industrial guachero goes a lot harder than cheesy 160bpm ebm stuff. we need more triplets in the club

on that note completely non-club oriented topdown dialetic releases are giving me life as winter descends, dubby basic channel / porter ricks vibes but much more detailed and spontaneous in a way; pseudo-diegetic club ambient

sorry, meant to include a link for once

I made a Buy Music Club list of my faves from this year (culled from a slightly longer list, but the few jazz and pop entries weren't on Bandcamp, which leaves this)

https://buymusic.club/list/chants-an-objective-compendium-of-the-greatest-music-of-2019

This is much more comprehensive:
https://www.factmag.com/2019/12/11/best-club-music-2019/

I've already mentioned filmmaker upthread somewhere. I've been listening to this stuff a lot lately. Dark atmospheric techno, pretty much perfect work music for me.

Anyway, since this guy somehow released 9 albums of material this year (the albums are pretty much all under 40 min, but still), I've attempted a best-of and I'm just gonna put the playlist here in case anyone is interested:

rolling Atlantic world post-bass ...

anyways, new quest?onmarc scratches the itch
