Current bobbins

just a lil warm bath to start it off, sofia kourtesis, "la perla"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY1bZjXKKWA

That came out last year!

But! Sofia Kourtesis has actually released a song this week that samples Manu Chao of all people:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4LNA-JZQeo

I love that, very Four Tet-ish.

It's possible that one of you all recommended this, but this comp is full of good stuff: https://organicsociety.bandcamp.com/album/organic-society-two-years-anniversary

xxp so good!

A very solid set of track there ed.b ^

Raw bangers, I presume this is an alias of SWAP MEET (who does those great retro-jungle releases)?

Some good stuff on this: https://cheekymusicgroup.bandcamp.com/album/falling-in-love

Just received the vinyl, and String Energy is the shit. You can hear it about 43 minutes into this mix I did over the weekend:

Mr. Ho - Bail​-​E (Real Mix)

whole LP is sick

absolutely flipping out over the new-ish dj python EP, how fucking lush is this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_pNK510iPY

was trying to do some work in the garden listening to that and i had to keep sitting down to steady my head

third listen in a row and i still feel like i'm going to pass out when the chimes hit

very good stuff itt thx all

cool setup DJI

Thanks! It's been keeping me sane in my isolation.

too ambient for bobbins, but its another one by python so i'm posting it here. very afx-esque imo, reminds me of SAWII

http://prioricamp.bandcamp.com/album/your-own-power-remixes

looking forward to hearing the rest of the remixes. NAFF has 100% hit rate from what i've heard

http://maara.bandcamp.com/album/ultimate-reward

Morris Mobley - Glamour Profession

A big hello to all the steely dan coverers out there

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

Something to pair with the Omar S/Desire collab perhaps, the extraordinary Solitude EP from Hypnotique on Bordello A Parigi -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DECUxEtkn18

(this might also be stretching the bobbins category a bit)

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

Yes, took me by surprise this one. A big task to take on, never mind pull off so well!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW2UsL6vVro

Phil Evans - Smoovin

Airy light relief from Phil Evans, in this gut-wrenching week where I haven't felt much in the mood for music

Enjoying everything off Cesare Muraca's Uncertain Times EP but 'Phase' is hitting the spot in a "Plone go Bobbins" way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PJIn-2q4U8

I mentioned this before, but now it's out on digital. Track of the year, imo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qku4GQh5FcY

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:

Leon Vynehall • Sugar Slip (The Lick)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnq53ZR9v-w

"Vocoder" - via Jordan in the Floating Points thread

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

Case in point: Xiaolin - Dance Of The Jungle Moon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6HCifH03xE

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…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-thfIs34WA

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

Digital only, but this is a very solid EP: https://humandiseasenetwork.bandcamp.com/album/leo-spasit-nuit-tranquille

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'm not sure exactly what's going on here but i like it

https://thevinylfactory.com/news/sally-c-big-saldos-chunkers-3/

oooh chunky

this is bobbins of the past but if you like that mid 90s tribal chunkiness dub jamz release on wax pistols just got repressed

since they only did this one release and nothing else since 2014, wax pistols goes down in the highest echelon of berlin white label techno labels

takes about three minutes to get to classic status

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

absolute masterclass in neck breaking NY snare loops o_O))))))))))))))))))

Hell yeah

Dondolo - Les Evanouisseurs

I don't think this is the Dondolo thats on discogs but maybe it is? breezy times either way

Feeling this:

Seb Zito - Horns of 23

https://shallnotfade.co.uk/album/horns-of-23-ep

Head High - Push It

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vDms6rDzPQ

DJ Prime Cuts - Rave

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSWIon7CxTU

new Head High is so good, "Push It" is my favourite but "Break Away" is so warm and lush as well

here's a few I've been enjoying lately:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A40-AKj-2JA

Len Faki - It's Time (To Move Your Body) - much more housey than I would expect from one of the big Berghain names

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVR59Iy3zoo

Alan Dixon & Will Tramp - Sunday Stomper (Piano Preacher Mix) - a blatant Floorplan rip-off but there are far worse things to rip off

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

Ladymonix - So Sweet - the whole EP is really good, ravey sounds made to feel like a small basement instead of a big festival tent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj1m7s6TRNk

Sofia Kourtesis - Si Te Portas Bonito - we've all heard this kind of wistful indie-leaning melancholy house before but she's so good at isn't she

ladymonix is so my shit. new head high? can't wait to get that. need to see what he's been up to over the last 3 years.

i've always liked len faki but quick fast forward reveals one of those vocal hooks with an unmistakeable euro / german accent, i realize it's my hangup but i just can't sell it without cringing a little bit.

oh that means you missed last year's compilation!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i__6ELWIp6A

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UFpK1gAhCw

Head High - Blind
Head High - Changes

(for posterity)

i'm generally Len Faki ambivalent but for lift off potential, this one hits that spot, even in spite of the tired 909 hi hat.

crossposting from the club music thread, this new barker ep is totally flooring me.

https://sambarker.bandcamp.com/album/unfixed

oh yeah, second track on that is so fucking beautiful

really dig Amy Dabbs

That Amu Dabbs is very nice.

OK, so I might just be posting this mainly for the lols…

lol i tried to get into this but it sounds like a mess to me, not in a good way. they're pretty hit or miss for me. i like "food of love" with dj sprinkles but even that one gets a little turgid imo.

ok going back to it, nah it's great, what was i thinking.

sometimes things that are like right smack in my wheelhouse i'm a little suspicious of up-front

on a different tip, i'm recently discovering hot shit house producer eli escobar. he has a great new album out. i think he's very good.

eli escobar - he loves me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKv6xjQn0N0

Verraco - Escandaloo

YES

Caldera - Dolphin Skii. Hat tip Eris Drew for the ig story on this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kosRNeVN4Y

a few recent things I've been enjoying:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF05y29GqnU

Midland - You Never Take Me Dancing - square synths and crisp percussion, feels like a better take on the lumpy kind of Daniel Avery/later-era Tiga sound

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS1Qmx7LhQM

I.JORDAN & Planningtorock - TNB (Night Version) - the hard house revival continues, but with enough strangeness to feel more than a pastiche

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4upjGRiCu6g

James Curd - I Am One, I Am Many (Adelphi Music Factory Remix) - nu-disco goes big-room house

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3a3fDaG4io

Tino - Work My Body - yes we've all heard many tracks that sound like 1989 with this exact vocal but this is really well-executed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4FFwYQVIGk

Matias Aguayo - El Camaron (DJ Babatr Remix) - big percussive propulsive energy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNFo1DV8YDY

Elkka - DJ Friendly - massive madness that's not pretending to be anything other than big dumb fun
