House & Techno Bobbins 2017

some stuff I've been feeling lately:

Francis Inferno Orchestra - Oasis (Celestial Body Mix). Dreamy breakbeat house that goes well with that Young Marco Italian house compilation.

Telephones - DTMF (Call Super Remix). Skippy house with a breakdown of shimmering chords, warped string pads and what sounds like a muted sample of a lorry reversing.

Jamie Lidell - When I Come Back Round (Matthew Herbert's Long Night Dub). Heads-down swirling deep house that makes me think of the mid 00s when Kompakt and Villalobos were still building their reputations, and not even Lidell's best Jamiroquai impression can spoil it.

Michael Mayer & Joe Goddard - For You (DJ Koze Mbira Mix). Marred by indie mumbling but the kind of euphoric wistfulness that Koze excels at.

Space Dimension Controller - Exostack. To me this sounds like an early rave producer trying to make a classy disco track.

a few more

Oxia - Domino (Robag's Lasika Cafa Nb Remix). I don't hear anything in this that sounds like the original, but it sounds like Robag Wruhme at his usual standard.

Lord Of The Isles - Sunrise 89. This would be ambient house if it wasn't for the menacing tone in the low end. The EP this is from is really good, I like it more than the album he released.

Fred P - 6am. All three tracks on Instinctive Rhythms are good but this is my favourite - thumping tech-house with hooks and sounds sharpening in and out of focus.

Isolee - Pisco. Does anyone still think about that amazing My My album from a decade ago?

Baba Stiltz - Are You Mad? Cause I'm Not Mad... A bassline indebted to "French Kiss" with warm chords.

Thank you boxedjoy - lots of great stuff!

new collaboration from Garrett David, Chicagodeep & Taelue

first two tracks are great!

xposts there's a Kornel Kovacs version of that Exostack track that is pretty nice.

― boxedjoy,

I will second the love for that Call Super remix. Has all the right ingredients for me.

wooh this one is great, I've been wondering what this is after its cropped in a few places. its got its collar turned up a bit. Uchitosh, new artist to me

Hardworksoftdrink coming with a 2x12 arriving soon which should be a treat.

theres one track really good on the hardworksoftdrink but wasnt that taken with the rest yet - i should go back to it

Im enjoying this, from Argentina

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpsr0daYevs

its one of those with snippets from 4 tracks - first one is the one

aha heres the full version

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vBOtgJGVIU

oh this is a little shameless with the sampling but its very nice! one for the vibey canalside summer afternoons

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psF0iz8fHps

More abstract perhaps but the new 2x12 on Les Points - Gentrified Underground Youth is sublime.

I've never been able to get into any of the Les Points records!

New artist and label to me - Ryan James Ford

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL5uDd1OXqA

new khotin is dreamy https://heart.bandcamp.com/album/new-tab

(it's mostly ambient)

he also made a more dancey 12" under alias waterpark https://soundcloud.com/khotin/waterpark-speedline-connect-sun-runner

this is from end of last year on El Milagro but somehow I missed its release. tartan trousered specialists in dawn raids, right

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i18f_hmEeXI

mates, are those bikers on the Isle of Man?

I'm really shook by the sudden death of Marcus Kaye / Trevino. I'm not really a DnB guy, so can't talk to his Marcus Intalex stuff, but I sincerely think he was behind a lot of the most exciting techno I'd heard in the 2010s ("Backtracking" for instance, is one of my favourite recent techno tracks), and was looking forward to the second part of his Front/Back album.

Anyways, very sad. R.I.P.

RIP Intalex. True to the craft for all his days. Torn up.

Both of the Vlad Caia mixes of this are good. The kind of record you leave behind then when you get home it somehow managed to come back with you, takes a little bit of while to get comfortable but then its there. I'm not sure if I'd play this one over the tannoy though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo0l0yQ2OsQ

trivia: autoplay went on to half an hour of Photek after that one

also, Reckonwrong still probably my favorite find from rolling techno threads

One for the team down at Cavendish House, get on your BMX's there's a new Steevio record and its time for wheelies!

https://soundcloud.com/the-ransom-note/premiere-steevio-wye-mist-eye-shadow

and wow at there being a new release on Likemind!

New compilation on Cabaret is disappointing...apart from the last track by Evideon (alias for Spacetravel, i think)

Remember, vote Jeremy Corbyn to reduce the amount of anxiety inducing things everywhere

It was Evideon wot won it!

This was playing in Greggs the other day. I asked the woman behind the counter but she wouldn't tell me what it was. I don't harbour any ill will though, thats how it goes sometimes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUyexTQp574

It's not on Youtube yet, but the new Bicep on Ninja Tunes is lush https://open.spotify.com/track/0mzzs1GvOLj7r2v8Paieav

Say what you will about the brickwork redesign, but the woman in Greggs has really pulled out the stops with some new records this week. Been on the meat pies since Monday morning!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6COvsgF6Cw

that new Porter Ricks LP is even better than I was hoping!

the title track goes unexpectedly hard, leading to my initial reaction being "whoa"

i CANNOT WAIT for the bicep record

I thought i had already posted this but it looks like I must have posted it somewhere else, possibly the asda

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

lets get sassy in asda they said

if you want to hear what the Bicep album is gonna sound like, join the Facebook group "The Identification Of Music." In theory its set up for clubbers to share their expertise and knowledge and help people identify tracks they've heard, but in actuality it's obnoxious lads posting grainy footage of unreleased Bicep, and while it often sounds good, the attitude and culture around that particularly section of dance music fans makes me feel disengaged and uninterested. It's a terrible thing to be put off listening to something by its fans but I can't help it.

(and I would leave the group but I'm hoping someone will identify a track Horse Meat Disco played both times I saw them last)

Randomer is the best. The 3/4 groove on the last track with the sample + some of the other parts sliding over in 4/4 is so smart.

https://liesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/smokin

Similar trick on track #2.

I dont think I have ever heard Bicep or I can't remember it when I did, is it for lads on holiday

Spacetravel at closer

probably not a 2017 release but linear time is one of those things you find in the service stations next to the ginsters so who gives a f
