Ok, big Bandcamp Friday >>>
DJ Swisha - Clout Psychosishttps://djswisha.bandcamp.com/album/clout-psychosisReliably fun & mixable as always. Is that cover from Shadowrun? Love it.
Bored Lord - Rave Toolzhttps://boredlord.bandcamp.com/album/rave-toolzExactly what it sounds like, breaks & diva vocals. Sounds simple enough but it's a cool concept: "these songs are one part edit, one part blend, one part an experiment in sampling. for each track i first paired two sample-heavy classic rave break tunes based on them sharing keys, samples, or tempos. then i dissected the songs by sample source to recreate the tracks from scratch. later i blended them together on top of rhythms and basslines i made up."
A hot club beat from Dave Quam:https://davequam.bandcamp.com/album/snare-screams
A new 15 track full-length from Color Plus, who put out those amazing New York Dance Music comps:https://colorplus.bandcamp.com/album/torpid
Obeka - Drum Corehttps://djobeka-music.bandcamp.com/album/drum-coreSome Afro-Caribbean drum tracks that sound a little bit kuduro, a little bit South African

And I hate to do this so early in the thread, but my album is out today too:https://chants.bandcamp.com/album/poly-pointillism
Minimal obsessively rhythmic kalimba pieces that are most beatless, but nevertheless meant to be mixed with dance music. I think it might appeal to the Workaround fans on this thread. :)

Cool! I'll have to check out those other Obeka releases. And Slink. And agreed yeah, Bored Lord's releases have been ridiculously prolific and high-quality during the pandemic.

I'll try to put y'all in touch. It's sometimes hard to know what his headspace is like because...well, the last five years of his life have been marked by tragedy heaped on tragedy. Can't imagine what he's been through. But we used to make music together, and he's a sweetheart who is into the sort of stuff yr into! He's friends with Joel (Golden Donna), if that gives any context.

I wonder how the Bandcamp ban has been affecting them, if they're using VPNs out getting someone outside China to administer it or what.
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 4 March 2021 17:22 (one month ago) link
I would imagine it’s not a big deal. the label founder is an expat from the UK. if in-country sales are a thing, that’d probably be via different channels. is it just that the site is inaccessible, or does the government try to block money transfers?
― mh, Friday, 5 March 2021 03:28 (one month ago) link
I think it's the former, no idea about the latter.
Soooo many Bandcamp emails today (as expected)!

MM - Massive Musichttps://eventhestrong.bandcamp.com/album/massive-musicThis one is really fun, drums for days. Billed as DDM = dumb dance music, lol.
object blue - Grotto (TT)https://tobagotracks.bandcamp.com/album/grottoStill digesting this but it's cool, love the last vocal cut-up track. She did an NTS show only playing stems from it and talking about them, that was unique.
Dave Quam https://davequam.bandcamp.com/album/groundscore-b-w-pink-line-beatFun two tracker, I'm getting Dance Mania vibes (which have been hitting the spot for me, going through old mixtapes on youtube lately)

This one is a curiosity, Jaf Ge Nos - Un Discorsetto EP:https://nostrohoodsystem.bandcamp.com/album/un-discorsetto-epLong tracks that are almost like medleys or overtures, sort of reminds me of the weirder material on HudMo's Butter. Technicolor and silly, going in and out of beats and jazzy free-time interludes, sounds like it was made by a keyboardist.
