Cerfeuil - Durance (Upriver Mix)

Good one.

Yeah, I enjoyed that one a lot.

co-sign, gorgeous

As far as ethereal techno based off a female voice speaking an Italian phrase in hypnotic repetition, this...

... is the proud successor to this 2019 bobbins jam:

Zillas On Acid - He Wasn't Afraid...

a couple of chuggers chugging into the station

let me boldly post this South African amapiano track here - the album it's from is called Party With The English after all:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk_8zbe_M2I
Mr JazziQ ft. Soul Revolver + Mellow & Sleazy • Rockit

Very lush.

i feel like i have been playing the shit outta that for awhile? did you post it in one of the african threads earlier or am i just confusing this with something that sounds very similar?

the album it’s from only dropped this week, I posted a different track on the Rolling Mzansi thread - but you know what they say about amapiano...

(but I picked this one for this thread because it’s an instrumental, don’t think all that many instrumental amapiano tracks have been posted tbh)

maybe i got it as a recommendation. anyways, it's great!

a few more i'm feeling

Tamburi Neri & Hiroko - Ama

Strapontin, Zillas on Acid - What's Worse

Roe Deers - Radical Tom

I've been going through the Shall Not Fade discography and enjoying a high percentage of it.

yeh
what's standing out?

Digging the Pierre Moritz album from 2018. Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVXB9xMQ1_4

This one from Paul Rudder scratches an itch for me, with it's bouncy piano build:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTVr3isomeA

This one from Astro is a bit trancey but sounds great loud:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVXB9xMQ1_4

The new album from Felipe Gordon is good all the way through:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVXB9xMQ1_4

I've only recently started getting back into looking for dance music, so forgive me if this is all stuff you've already heard.

“It’s” 🤦‍♂️

Also, I ordered the Special Request DJ Kicks 2-LP set, and the first time they sent it with two of the C/D records. They replaced it, so now I have a couple C/D records and the sleeve, of anyone wants it. Preferably someone in the Bay Area.

this is three years old but it doesn't really fit in with the "bobbins of the past" thread imo. i always feel heat from deetron when i check what he's up to from time to time. all about that breakdown imo. great lyrics, great vocal performance.

deetron ft. jamie lidell - cry with the stars

from late last year

SeeMeNot - Borderline (Roman Flugel remix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuTQaBDd50M

Enjoying the sunny vibes on Nemo Vachez - Holiday Special.

New Skee Mask LP out today 'Pool': https://iliantape.bandcamp.com/album/itlp09-skee-mask-pool

Digitals are a bit pricey!

DJI, i like the Paul Rudder and Pierre Moritz tracks you posted - curious about the other two you meant to post, 'cause you posted the YouTube for Moritz three times instead!

love that nemo vachez track

really like this one (and I swear it's not only because it has a Dutch title):

Amandra • Kapsalon

Wow, that's embarrassing. Let's try that again:

This one from Astro is a bit trancey but sounds great loud:

The new album from Felipe Gordon is good all the way through:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9CewdktyeY

Love the retro 80s vibe on this new one: Palms Trax & Nonku Phiri - Petu

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhWyM3II5bA

Lady Blackbird Vs KDA - Collage (Dub)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gCUVTXWY8A

not sure if this belongs here or perhaps on some Balearic thread:

Lakou Mizik x Joseph Ray • Ogou (Pran Ka Mwen)

(remix by Joseph Ray of Haitian band Lakou Mizik)

new d.dan is nuts

another recent one that's good

https://seekers.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/B1-seekers-Rainy-Groove-SKR008.3.mp3

Seekers - Rainy Groove

Not paid too much attention to Seekers but love this one, just a clip here but out in July

I'm into both of the D.Dan releases. Looking forward to some of his music hopefully getting released that he played on his latest HOR set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_62mdb7WER0

Gayance + Dapapa - "Ritmo"
from montreal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpJdAw6S7hM

There’s been a whole load of bumpy, major-key, naive, rave-ish mish-mash tracks over the last year or so that I just can’t help but smile when I listen to. I’m not sure if they will hold up over time, but I think the wide-eyed positivity of them is just so appealing to me at the moment.

This one is Felon5 - Potter's Pinball.

Sofia Kourtesis • By Your Side

session victim - guidance

Into all that D. Dan stuff, thanks for posting it.

closing time vibes

Huerta meets Midnight Fantasy

(proceeds go to Mind and Gladt)

Map I love that Cody Currie remix.

Did you hear this track from the same producer from late last year (“harajuku hammer”):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZc5fFS3sMc

oh man, awesome!

cassius select track from late 2020 ("born to defence")

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JFramkX008

I know this probably doesn't belong here (but):

Donae'O - She Belongs To The Night ft Dj Supa D, Mr Taffa & Etta Bond

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62T2Ip7kNeo

Is there a bobbins thread for general non-4x4 dance music; club music; or bass music?

I'm sure some would like to consign it to the 'funky' niche but imo what's going on now is broader and more interesting than just funky.

xp Listened to a lot of that DJ Sabrina album today. It's reminiscent of bits of the first Avalanches album, maybe. Not as adventurous and varied but just as intoxicating. Even the song titles seem familiar: "Airplane Song (Welcome Home)", "Paradise", "Love Is The Purest Thing There Is"...

From new label UFO series:

Seafoam - hard city, for some heady deep minimal house vibes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWlNlfEPl6g

and Volen - Rolling with the papers, for some trippy stripped back breakbeat vibes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA9mE1kR2lY

Man that whole Sharda EP is so dope

High-NRG!

Speaking of which, I'm really loving the new album by Sansibar which seems to travel across a whole range of styles from ambient techno to tear-out two-step but using a kind of nineties trance pallette. Whole album is worth a listen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d4d84DkA18

I bought that Papolious Jones EP. Played it at my little pub gig and had two people come up and ask what it is. One of them bought it right there on the spot off Bandcamp. Spreading the word!

Just bought the Sansibar thing. Thanks!

Northern Division Autumn Terrace

Livewire tribute to Johnny Giles from local lads Northern Division

Resident Advisor's Tracks of the Year list always has a few hits. Love this one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am3kfoaBL8c

tondiue's debut packed an album's worth of ideas into an EP of techno that explores the outer reaches of the genre, specifically slowed-down breakbeats and tunneling, Wata Igarashi-style arpeggio workouts. "Painted Creature" falls somewhere between these styles. What starts out as a loose hand percussion workout laced with clipped, unnerving vocal samples before the breakdown turns it into a tripped-out big room techno cut that could stand up with the best of 'em. It's just one of many highlights on a techno EP that sticks with us like few others have this year.—A.R.

New Nikki Nair EP on Lobster Theremin is fantastic:

Splitradix - 3350 Beach Electronic

Big enough squad for a title run here

late pass for Sofia Kourtesis who i discovered on boxedjoy's recent mix. the whole EP is wonderful.

I nominate that we do a “current bobbins” thread instead of a 2022 one. The yearly ones made a lot more sense when the threads were much longer and computers were much less prepared to handle “show all messages.” More to the point, there’s not much space to post stuff from slightly earlier: a track from 2019, say, wouldn’t go in the “bobbins of the past” thread,” nor would it make sense to revive the 2019 thread, so there’s kind of a blindspot.

as someone who is constantly “discovering” things that ppl were losing their heads about in 2018, I second this idea lol

when saer recommends anything ITT i already know i'm going to love it

hehe indeed

Current bobbins

go to town!
