Current bobbins

i would break out of that ^ at either 3 minutes or 6 minutes tbh.

i wanted to say something about the richy ahmed track but wasn't sure exactly what. i guess the main thing is the interplay between the synth line and the vocal. that tension is ridden out perfectly. the rhythm track is another simple but choice thing about it.

denyl brook - tenacity ep on shall not fade has some heaters on it:

Nice minimal house bobbins from a friend:

I'm getting started on DeForrest Brown's book, anybody read it?

i don't love everything robert owens has been involved with lately, and this one is a little sappy tbh but i love the piano

it’s the title track of his brand new album, his first in 12 years

Velvet Velour - Show You The Door

inarguable

also by Velvet Velour, from last year

Velvet Velour - Arrivederci

that Precipitation album is just the best thing, thx to whoever posted upthread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaJeoSCMg0E

glad you enjoyed it! he also put this out earlier in the year, which i think is an amazing track:

Precipitation – Reina’s Theme

talking of japanese stuff, have been absolutely rinsing this gorgeous thing:

Archipelago Soundsystem - Txirimiri Jaz Tek [NC4K]

this has been a favourite this year too, seems quite underworld-esque?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgrlAjx4Smo
Maroki - ICBT1

love that Maroki. and Archipelago reminded me of this Leo Pol track that flips that same vocal (from SWV's Rain). Both put it to great use!

I could totally imagine hearing Craig Richards playing that Velvet Velour - Show You The Door track in Fabric Room 1 back in the 00s. Not a dis :D

Room 1 feel for sure!

Get a nice pair of socks, too!

omg those socks!

possibly the wrong thread but this eden samara has really got its claws into me after a few listens. shanti celeste helped produce, kind of making me think of early nite jewel?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEU4NL8Alu4

and while i'm watering down the bobbins brand, i do like this horrible thumping new beat racket:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-w-SLnUrh0

i was in a similar spot, wondering whether to post this here. since we're posting eden samara and referencing nite jewel i think it works!

i'd never heard of yuu udagawa, randomly checked her out when i saw this single on a shop's website, ended up buying it. there's a couple house tracks, they're pretty good, the rest is rnb-adjacent electronica, also pretty good ... but something about the midtempo lead track really grabbed me. maybe the "not sure if these are good vocals" vocals that remind me of laurel halo's "quarantine"?

yuu udagawa - forever

short clip from Elise Jilian b2b Farès A. @ SouPaPe _ Tunisia

Achingly familiar jaunt from a beach in Tunisia, just can't remember what it is. Or maybe I never heard it before and just like it

Flanders- Homer's Odyssey

Moody victorian detour from Springfield

Love a bit of comedy dancefloor action :)

L&F - Floor'D

Sounds like solid fun all around on Mindhelmet 08

https://soundcloud.com/subwax-bcn-distribution/helmet_08

I've not been that taken with the previous helmets I've heard and was thinking the same for this helmet, but hats and helmets off alike for the last track, I'm into that

I agree! I was really excited about it when it first launched, then it went in a direction I find pretty boring (I’m not into that kind of thin, vaguely chiptuney house sound that’s been popular over the last few years) but the last two seem like a shift back to a fuller sound.

catching up but

possibly the wrong thread but this eden samara has really got its claws into me after a few listens. shanti celeste helped produce, kind of making me think of early nite jewel?

yes i love that track! did not know shanti celeste was involved.

that label (local action) has some gems on it

including this one which is probably even more outside of the usual for this thread. i played it and actually had some ratchet queens who only bounce to nicki minaj and megan thee stallion latch onto it.

Pekkuliar & Driahn - Dazed Transmission

crispy tackle from Barcelona

feel like stirmonster might like this one

for posterity: Terr - Only For Tonight

Loved hearing that the Terr track for the first time at Watching Trees, my friend are I kept referring it as the Miss Kittin one before we found out what it was.

I’m very much enjoying this bleepy, breaky, fun one today:

Hyperspektiv - 5th Plane

love this one, hypnotic!

hello party crew! as you may or may not know South Africa (Mzansi) is the world’s prime House Nation. it’s the only place in the world where six+-minute tracks informed by Mr Fingers, Chicago, acid and other house variations fill up the pop charts on the regular. did you folx even know a bobbin is a South African delicacy?

all of this to say that I’m hoping this poll I created might get the amapiano party fired up again on ILM, because we’re seriously logging… lagging behind. here’s your invitation - I hope you will all participate:

drowning in a blissful ocean of log drums and keys: 🎹🎹 amapiano a-z 🎹🎹 an ilm poll🕸

New Slow Life comp predictably delivers

i like that second one! great use of acid in a non-played-out way

speaking of, i always loved the imperial vibe of jam city’s “2 hot”, which always made me think of “haunted dancehall” era sabres doing trap music

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

i just wished someone would redo it at a house / techno compatible tempo. well, someone on craigie knowes has! they threw in some 303 acid breaks and beamed it to the oort cloud and back for extra space dust

dream_e - musli

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-96HSrQtGoU

they’re actually pretty much the same tempo, but imo the jam city track has such a strong half-step feel that i don’t think it sounds good mixed with ukg or w/e

Nothing really grabbed me on first listen to the Slow Life comp from first listen, quite like the Primary Perception track
