orange milk records s/d

Real good year of releases from these guys!

I wish there was a tape version of the Nico Niquo tho

the Nmesh album they just released is soooo fuckin good

I've bought 5 from these guys and so far they're 5 for 5, what do you guys recommend

well okay then, I'll start, Dolby's ON by Bataille Solaire is incredible, not only incredibly busy but also strangely catchy. every time I hear it I like it more. as an RYM reviewer put it "This is what baby boomers feared electronic music would become."

new death's dynamic shroud (I guess they dropped the wmv)

what I like about these guys is that you don't actually have to be nostalgic for the 80s, video games or anime to like it, that stuff just happens to be the sample base of their intricately crafted glitch pop

I've probably posted this before but it really did blow my mind to see the source for the last track on I'll Try Living Like This was some throwaway credit music from an obscure Sonic game, because it hits me so hard

uggggh that track is so relaxing

Orange Milk are currently offering their entire digital discography (94 releases) for $53 / 90% off (just bought). Not sure how long for.

Also, there's a nice primer on recent OM releases in this recent show on Red Bull Radio: https://www.redbullradio.com/shows/adam-harpers-bubblebath/episodes/electronic-evocations

oh i didn't realise om had a seperate thread, been posting everything in the vaporwave one
looks like most of the stuff i like best has been linked already but there's some new giant claw before it's september 8 release!

(still love 'dark web' the album - https://giantclaw.bandcamp.com/album/dark-web )

53 bucks is a good chunk for a bunch of artists I've never heard of, but on the other hand, if I was ever gonna deep dive into a label and everything they do, this would be the one...

geez and they donate the money to Houston too. all right, fine

pw new Machine Girl on orange milk later this month!

and that Machine Girl:

Very different affair than last full length, tho maybe closer to what I've seen of their live shows. Essentially, internet-era digital hardcore, with almost Death Grips-like intensity. need to listen more, because I wasn't expecting this, but it's definitely a THING

this is great
reminds me of that fire-toolz record from earlier this year

I am really enjoying Heavy Black Heart, it falls off in the second half a little but at its best it reminds me of Rival Dealer. I'm a bit surprised to like it so much since I'd previously completely bounced off most vaporwave (is this still that?) in the past, what else should I listen to in this vein?

i really enjoyed their record from last year, classroom sexxtape - 'rare emoji collection' and 'side' probs my two choice cuts from it
this record probably reminds me more of arca's record from this year, holly herndon and katie gately over most vw stuff

good calls i think

Love this Machine Girl album. And yes, the Fire-Toolz album on Hausu Mountain, mentioned by nxd, is amazing.

Could anyone help me figure out the best releases they put out this year? I tend to shy away from the more abraisve/bonkers things they do, but their Bandcamp is so overwhelming I don't know where to start.

my fav. from last year was nv - binasu

the death's dynamic shroud album is nice

I loved Pharma by Nmesh but you may want to sample a track like "Basscop" or "Mall Full of Drugs" because "abrasive" and "bonkers" both describe this album pretty well

honestly I'm thinking about just getting everything. it's $56.60 for like 100 albums. I'll bet at least 10 of those are fantastic and most of the rest are probably worth hearing as well.

thinking of taking this one for a spin this afternoon

ditto dds, i like the giant claw one from this year too
hopefully they'll do a 2017 compilation for you like they did with 2016

in a silent way, the track, by nico niquo is very nice too, didn't go back to the whole album as much

Fire-Toolz!!!
I just learned of the Mindspring Memories connection so now I can't stop listening.
