it even bothers me there's a house and techno thread, would much prefer to split into house thread and techno thread, and then divide up house thread into different cities in the US and europe and beyond, and then divide those up by bpm, let a hundred (thousand) dance threads bloom, but sadly not enough posting to support that

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 20:48 (six years ago) link

Haha, I don't agree but it's a beautiful vision

i also think (much like idm) "experimental club" has become its own thing beyond just any club-rooted music that is, um, experimental, i.e. i think it's a great thread for the breaking glass / gun shot noises type stuff (which, don't get me wrong, i really like) or other post-grime post-footwork type stuff but i felt weird dropping this vakula in the middle of that

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link

Did you hear that De Leon EP?

whoa that's awesome!!!! i would never have thought about crossover between gamelan and capoeira but when you think about it makes total sense. no vinyl, tho? ;_;

THE LATE GREAT OTM

Looks like there's vinyl from the Honest Jon's link ;)

got pretty deep into listening to mumdance's radio show last week. a great collection of people doing different genres right blended into a distinctly done-wrong fabric via b2b choices

would recommend

mh, Thursday, 29 March 2018 21:29 (six years ago) link

<3 Mumdance, thanks for the reminder. Really liked that recent RA profile too.

is it "weightless" stuff

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 21:34 (six years ago) link

and that's his show on rinse, right?

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 21:34 (six years ago) link

heavy heavy monstah sounds

mh, Thursday, 29 March 2018 21:34 (six years ago) link

for some reason I was thinking it was a nts show, but yes, rinse

mh, Thursday, 29 March 2018 21:36 (six years ago) link

i can't find it, can you post a link?

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 21:38 (six years ago) link

mh, Thursday, 29 March 2018 21:38 (six years ago) link

aahhh i'm super confused

you said his show last week, those are all from 2017!

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 21:42 (six years ago) link

no I said I was listening to the show last week!

as in, a bunch of episodes of the show. sorry for the ambiguity

mh, Thursday, 29 March 2018 21:48 (six years ago) link

although I do like the idea of getting pretty deep on a single episode

mh, Thursday, 29 March 2018 21:53 (six years ago) link

oh haha sorry me dumm

the late great, Thursday, 29 March 2018 22:15 (six years ago) link

three months pass...

item: i back-to-backed the new skee mask album with last year's shed album and while i enjoyed the skee mask and the young dude energy behind it, the shed album is clearly on another level.

map, Sunday, 1 July 2018 21:35 (five years ago) link

Shed LPs are a perfect example of how to do full length tech, especially the first two

brimstead, Sunday, 1 July 2018 23:16 (five years ago) link

I found the new Skee Mask a bit cold and clinical. Give me Shed any day.

millmeister, Monday, 2 July 2018 12:18 (five years ago) link

feel like people slept on that shed record "too homogenous" yes but everything on it rips. skee mask is comfort food to me, the drums sound amazing but it's also sorta like just sports videogame music or something, shed has ~~mystery~~ about the proceedings imo

Vapor waif (uptown churl), Monday, 2 July 2018 15:56 (five years ago) link

yeah I posted in the "diss hyped releases" about that Skee Mask album, bewildering critical praise

boxedjoy, Tuesday, 3 July 2018 09:28 (five years ago) link

Shed is just a highly exceptional producer, the way he makes the bass rumble in the mix is just awesome.

brimstead, Tuesday, 3 July 2018 15:16 (five years ago) link

one month passes...

I don't know how much longevity value it will have, but for now I'm quite digging that Pariah album.

calzino, Saturday, 4 August 2018 10:15 (five years ago) link

Anyone who has not yet heard the atrociously titled 'Steal Chickens From Men And The Future From God' by the Swedish duo Shakarchi & Straneus should do so while the weather's still this good.

DJ Koze has been repping hard for it and you can tell why, although it's a lot better than his album.

Matt DC, Saturday, 4 August 2018 11:32 (five years ago) link

i have been listening a lot of octo octa lately and i think she is a wonderful album artist. the one from last year is especially good

marcos, Friday, 10 August 2018 15:37 (five years ago) link

three weeks pass...

what's the newer thread for stuff like this? Anyway here's a Young Marco mix with lots of the Dream House stuff he has compiled lately

Neil S, Tuesday, 4 September 2018 08:41 (five years ago) link

anyway if you like your contemporary kosmische music i can give no higher recommendation than to the new vakula on leleka, "metaphors"

That is great and seemingly unavailable. I mean it's not unavailable - it's £70 on discogs but...

Ned Trifle X, Tuesday, 4 September 2018 15:40 (five years ago) link

yeah i grabbed mine as soon as it was on hardwax, he sometimes represses his bandura releases but rarely see leleka represses ...

the late great, Tuesday, 4 September 2018 17:50 (five years ago) link

I posted this on the rolling house and techno thread, but this is maybe a better place for it. The new Djrum album is very good, imo, for a crossover between bass and techno. I've listened to it a few times on Spotify so far (the 2LP is sold out a lot of places at the moment, it seems, but it's on R&S so should be repressed soon?) and it's terrific and a great, fully realized album.

Federico Boswarlos, Tuesday, 4 September 2018 19:28 (five years ago) link

The Vakula is on Spotify if that’s not too sacrilegious a thing to say

the article don, Thursday, 6 September 2018 20:06 (five years ago) link

Oops actually it’s his new one, which is great incidentally

the article don, Thursday, 6 September 2018 20:07 (five years ago) link

if you mean arcturus that one was available elsewhere a year or 2 ago but it rules and is nice to have it on spot

ciderpress, Friday, 7 September 2018 20:31 (five years ago) link

I am enjoying the new Ancient Methods album

silverfish, Friday, 21 September 2018 17:31 (five years ago) link

The Ame album is a lot better than its cracked up to be.

Matt DC, Saturday, 22 September 2018 07:56 (five years ago) link

Really miss the lush style of the Lord of the Isles LP, anything like that people want to recommend?

princess of hell (BradNelson), Saturday, 27 October 2018 22:56 (five years ago) link

yeah it's a good un that

calzino, Saturday, 27 October 2018 22:58 (five years ago) link

yeah, I've been listening to the dj richard album a lot lately.

silverfish, Monday, 29 October 2018 14:32 (five years ago) link

I bought this album by Junes, it is "well vibey, mate" according to the local paper. I don't know if its a good fit for the lads that are doing it wrong thread but what is the worst that can happen?

saer, Monday, 29 October 2018 15:37 (five years ago) link

that is lovely

niels, Monday, 29 October 2018 16:09 (five years ago) link

the new skee mask album

oh this is quite nice, quite nice

j., Tuesday, 30 October 2018 02:25 (five years ago) link

love the skee mask album!

Dan S, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 03:30 (five years ago) link

another track from the Junes record, this one was a reluctant bench warmer at first, but since it got subbed on its been chipping in with assists from midfield with a rough hewn yet nonchalant air of a new signing from non-league

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mtb2_ODoB2o

saer, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 07:12 (five years ago) link

really like both of those Junes tracks
