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.

I like the video a lot.

daniel avery - chaos energy

https://m.youtube.com/watch?mc_cid=7a7ebfd3dc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y5oBIG0ghA

Dig the KH but then, I like most everything Four Tet does

Rudolf C on limousine dream is a perfect pairing

Love that Moss album! "I Can't Escape From U" ❤️‍🔥

that Achterna is wonderful

from last year but what a choon:

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

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

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)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU5LrYiTQPU

lol Roy Of The Ravers is a great name

that Kellon - Zambique is wonderful

andrea oliva - “rio”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTUi7Cr_Dfw

look sometimes you just want to be pummelled by sequins and pianos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1wOCD0gNsA

xpost - yes you do!

okay, I forgot to name that one. It's Alan Fitzgerald - Learning to Love. Got me reaching for the French records; Crydamoure, Roule etc.

"Rio" is like a big-room Sofia Kourtesis, I love it

fango - elle cang

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

RIYL big clangy drumz

I hadn’t noticed there was a new Jamal Moss album, sounding awesome as always.

Today I am enjoying this, on the first record out from him for a decade: Anthony Teasdale - Jan's Hammer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgqlIn7eNG4

I was a bit confused thinking the name was familar, looked it up and Jexopolis used the same track name a couple of years ago.

This reminds me (maybe too much? nah, I'm ok with it) of a classic Francois K track, down to the squelchy synth solo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL037RwNCts

that's a beautiful jam

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

Inkipak - Node (Distant Worlds)

haven't listened to any rodolfo wehbba in probably a decade, but caught this one the other day and it's been doing the trick.

wehbba, "dynamo"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhmYkbmZr8Y

his recent / upcoming remix of jam & spoon's - odyssey to anyoona, while perhaps not my usual kind of thing, is pretty great.

really enjoyed listening to Inkipak’s dot album on the back of the track saer posted. this is “Metrion”:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDGjsdS8gO4

I just went and bought a bunch of Inkipak stuff on bandcamp - thanks, saer!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZMa7VsprYU

Silverlining - Schema, from the album that came out last year. Peak Yaya in the Asda

Inkipak tune is lovely

a few I've been enjoying lately:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-zPI48JCEk

East Coast Love Affair - Chicago - an acid cover of the Roy Ayers 1983 single.

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

Boys Noize & ABRA - Affection (Playgroup Back 2 89 Remix) - as the title suggests, this is a freestyle homage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2FxgliqpTU

X-COAST - XTC V - 90's handbag revivalism complete with familiar samples.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5QzeLfmtSE

Hidden Spheres - Euan 92 - uplifting piano chords over fake dreamy Italo-house.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GDNVaEM6XQ

rRoxymore - Midnight Shift - even on a label as "conventional" as Aus, this is still layered with queasy vocal samples and stuttered rhythms.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eXEZf91b-Q

Bella Boo - True Romance - feels like this year's "La Perla", wistful loved-up filtered-disco

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5c9zo9UW4E

Barnt - This Is For Decor Only - monolithic stompy business for the Ibiza big-rooms, but weird enough to be idiosyncratic.

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

Josh Caffé - Do You Want To Take Me Home? (Steffi & Virginia Remix) - driving sleazy house, splits the difference between Berghain and Robert Owens.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4blFDTi3YWg

Gramrcy - Gliding Again - 138bpm hard techno based on the best thirty seconds in My Bloody Valentine's "What You Want."

^ That's a great list. I'm all for "90s handbag revivalism"

Also that Fango - Elle Cang upthread is wonderful

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.
