Melchior Productions LTD - Ascending To Our Solitude

Off the new album, hitting home already

Melchior huh? I wonder if that's a Chrono Trigger reference

Ah no not likely. It's the only way I know that name but it's a thing outside of that

melchior is one of most distinct producers from that era of minimal, i still have a lot of affection for his sound. curious to hear his new album

Melchior Productions "The Blessing" is nearly a decade old and it's still one of my favourite pieces of dance music ever

good stuff:

"Vocoder" - via Jordan in the Floating Points thread

The Les Yeux Orange channel on YouTube tips me off to a load of great stuff.

I heard that on chewshabadoo's radio show once, it's great!

Thanks Nick, always good to know we have at least one listener sometimes :D

I’m going to be forward now and plug that I’m on the radio with my co-presenter Clara from 8-10pm UK time. Twitter link to info

Possibly a monstrous question to ask but: what's the likelihood of the new Melchior getting some form of digital/CD release? I can't find any reference to this anywhere yet but may be looking in all the wrong places

If it’s Perlon they don’t do digital but the albums generally get a CD release

Although since the vinyl came out last month maybe not in this case? The 3lp might be too long for a single cd. Just speculating here

It is - I got the last on CD a few years after release; not sure whether to expect a CD release for this one in the next 6 months or so? The vinyl is apparently out now but I'm trying resist re finances

there will be a rip on slsk eventually if you're a degenerate like me

I feel you technopolis. I spent too much time trying to figure it out. It appears Perlon doesn’t always release their albums on CD (including their last album release, for bruno pronsato) and typically release the cd and LP at once. Ordering a 3LP when shipping costs are fast inflating is no small sacrifice…

Operate - Sweet Talk, from 2020 but under the new rules I think it counts? VAR on the case

New Tony Price album is very good

In late 2020, Tony Price found himself stuck in Los Angeles, unable to fly back to his native Toronto because of Covid-19 restrictions. But he found another way. A former radio DJ Price knew was selling their 1981 Lincoln Continental Mark VI, so he bought the car, intending to drive back to Canada in style. He found a bag of cassette tapes—homemade mixes and radio show recordings from the late '80s replete with motorik Detroit techno, thumping Chicago house and advertisements for products that only exist in memory—stashed in the trunk. The tapes and the old car made a perfect match, and Price played the cassettes constantly during the long drive from California to Ontario.

After his road trip, Price scoured the tapes for samples, pulling together what would become his new album.

Benoit B - Drums Symphony

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stKHuas2jIw

one of my faves from last year for sure

That Moss record sounds a lot like he just got a Microcosm.

Loving Jamal Moss. Specially this one:

Kellon - Zambique

Jumble sale vibes from 2020

the original crept up on me to become a real anthem so I'm fully on board with sticking a breakbeat over it

checking what alden tyrell is up to lately and found this, took a break from that ilian tape sound but sounding great this morning

ryan james ford - kaki (alden tyrell remix)

lol Roy Of The Ravers is a great name

https://kareemali19.bandcamp.com/album/the-essence

doesn't seem like he can do any wrong

I avoided that priori release when I first saw it bc I was afraid it would override my efforts to hold off on buying new records and I was right. No regrets tho.

Think about this every day

Miles J Paralysis has been putting out some really great grubby and dubby techno of late, his remix on the new Rootsman is no exception...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr7j_gfEPJg
The Rootsman - When The Eye Opens (Miles J. Paralysis 'Eyes Closed' Remix)

Whenever I see the word 'bobbins' now, I am inevitably reminded of Frank Sidebottom.

Oh yes I am, I really am.

Really enjoying the Glob EP on Naff too, beautiful airy deep house stuff...

I'll be seeing her late July at Supernature 7. Will be my 4th time going to my friends capital district farm barn disco party weekend and she's a regular.

My favourite recent house and techno tracks:

thanks Tim, loving this! +suitably ambient for relaxing to

Thanks Paul!

The first track (Spooky’s “Bioform” - yes Spooky of “Little Bullet” fame) might be my favourite example of fake melodic Detroit techno since… Closer Musik’s “Departures”, maybe?

New Max Cooper album is fantastic, just a real masterclass in "I can do any style I turn my mind to, here, let me show you". Has Scott listened to it yet??

it's this one? https://maxcooper.bandcamp.com/album/feeling-is-structure

because i'm listening now and it's gorgeous

Yep. He has a lot of albums but this is the most explicitly dancefloor focused of which I'm aware (last year's 'On Being' is also a great album though).

i know some of you have already purchased tickets— i certainly have, did so on the day they went on sale— but Making Time is going to be absolutely bonkers this year. This performer list is just mindfucking.
