House & Techno Bobbins 2017

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

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!

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

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.

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

huh. this sucks and i'm glad i have no connection to it whatsoever

damn, seems like the great bicep emancipation of all house music ever we have all waited for has been usurped by frauds.

Can't go far wrong with Workshop

This has been out for a bit now so apologies if it's already been posted. I paid £15 for this record which is over the odds but I've got all the Hinge Finger releases so far and I didn't want to miss one. Sad but true

I quite like Bicep, this one from a couple of years ago is ace

Unreleased track from Lizz, not sure if/when its to be released. Towpath cycling dreamstates, celebrate the open air. I think this is kind of a special record!

Speaking of Joy Orbison - i really like this one

thanking Jordan for this Randomer heads-up

Steffi fabric is lots of fun

yes it is, I listened to it yesterday on a rainy bus ride and by the time I reached my stop I was in the mood to go out properly.

I too am looking forward to the Bicep album, though it's also possible I am an obnoxious lad.

I think that Varg (nordic flora pt3) album is totally sick!

Its a new Melchior on Aspect, and H&T mates, it a snake in a suit alright

Is 1080p finished as a label? Looks like they haven't released anything this year.

flopson - excellent choice

probably. from what i heard the guy who ran 1080p got into some personal trouble and i'd be surprised if it picks back up again.

xpost

"personal trouble" = yeah i heard he's a scumbag

pretty much. but the story passed through a lot of ears before it got to me so..

No way, that's a real shame.

I'm listening to this survey Spotify mix from the label - https://open.spotify.com/user/1080pcollection/playlist/4qAgghzz4x2KeNFQ5UJyfC - I was sort of following their stuff at a distance, but really, it's an amazing label imo! I guess great labels can do a good job of capturing a sound and scene, and it seems like this really does it for the stoner retro-house scene in Vancouver, the graphic design is actually a big part of that too - sorta template Tumblr aesthetics...

Also surprised at the jungle-style beats on some of these releases, I know some showed up on ILM threads, but there's quite a vibe around ambient early d'n'b and jungle that is really a sweet spot.

i liked some of the stuff on the label, feel like pacific rhythm has a p similar aesthetic if you like the vancouver thing. i'm sorta prejudiced against the scene in general for really petty reasons and never go to to any nights here.

Well, a big part of it is about an imaginary anyway. Actually being around it, participating directly would be something else.

Ok, cross-posting this track from the fake jungle thread then:
https://soundcloud.com/mixmag-1/premiere-loft-i-am-bouyant

ya it was a great lil label, especially the last coupla years; rip

i'm sorta prejudiced against the scene in general for really petty reasons and never go to to any nights here.

what petty reasons?? when i was in vancouvar a friend brought me to his studio in Deep Blue and later to a Pacific Rhythms party, i felt a frosty vibe from the ppl he introduced me too (tho I've heard that's just what ppl are like there) esp the kids at the studio all had that preppy normcore look which was kinda off-putting

A lot of people in Van are stuck in their own bubble and seem pretty unapproachable. There's good people of course, but I would hesitate to call it a friendly city

im moving there in 3 weeks forever :'(

my petty reasons are that I've met some people who are sort of that scene-adjacent and while these people were nice enough the vibe is definitely art-school normcore middle-class hipster, used to be in an indie band, or in a noise group, and then discovered dance music a few years ago sort of thing. vancouver nights are definitely frosty too. now i should probably just get the stick out my ass and go and try and have a good time but i think I've perhaps overly-romanticized the (imo fantastic) dance music culture of where I'm from - glasgow - and that's getting in my way of just embracing what's around me now and i am dumb
