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

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.

idk really where this goes but it's great and has Mark Fell on it: https://33-33.bandcamp.com/track/oglon-day-1

another one: https://tomaga.bandcamp.com/track/bandiera-di-carta

Does Anthony Naples's Fog FM count? It's pretty damn good.

I much preferred his last one, with the memorable Midnight Cowboy sampling interlude and I can't remember the name of it!

actually it sounds p dope, just haven't listened to it much.

Take Me With You was the previous one

that's the one, it went missing when my last pc died

i love fog fm; amazing album. I should try Take Me With You for sure!

has anyone heard this Afrodeutsche album Break Before Make out on Skam? i copped one track, HIAEA, that's growing on me.

An enjoyable trip-hoppy throwback with environmental overtones:

building bridges is so good

Check out the Tribe of Colin album on Honest Jon's. Minimal repetitive tracks that sound like they're all made with hardware (I don't care whether producers use hardware or software but still) and get gradually more fucked as they progress. Some of it's the kind of outsider house/techno that sounds like it could be on LIES, some of it's more dubby and some of it's more grimey. RIYL Actress, Hype Williams

Lovely packaging too

Apparently he preps parts, puts them in the SP-404 (which is not known for its quantization), and records live takes. That's a cool way of doing things, especially since that machine is so associated with post-Dilla/lo-fi hip hop beats (almost makes me wish I wasn't selling mine).

Tribe of Colin album is indeed great. Thanks for the heads up!

Listening to samples of the new Shanti Celeste - looks like she's got this album thing sewn up. Recommended.

this is fucking great, thanks for the heads up!

omg hell yeah, i love her

chips and cheese on the big toast

!

‘sesame’ off that shanti celeste record is really hitting the zones

a bit UKG i guess

yeah the shanti celeste record is the real deal

thanks for the Topdown Dialectic rec, oh my god that is so my shit

yeah, that was fun too

I swear, every time I neglect to check for new music for a few weeks, that's the period when a bunch of releases happen.

Currently still listening to a few of the recent recommendations from the thread and checking out the new Lee Gamble and Shapednoise albums. The LG one is hitting me in a way his past stuff hadn't and I'll have to revisit some of the older cuts. Shapednoise has some good guest spots

new madteo
new levon vincent

will check out shanti celeste album, <3 <3 her show on nts

Peter F Speiss has a new double album on Pluie/Noir, only heard a couple of tracks from it so far

They’re maybe both a bit safe, comfort food style albums, but the Comit and Stenny albums are two of my favourites this year.
