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

really like both of those Junes tracks

Dan S, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 06:05 (five years ago) link

agree with the skee mask and dj richard praise!

bruce's sonder somatic is really doing it for me today as well

petey v, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 19:14 (five years ago) link

Totally, Bruce album rules. But man am I having a hard time keeping all these “weird beats” threads straight ... so apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but the airmax 97 joint is awesome

this one is excellent as well.

Debut Quadruple LP from Lizz is something of a mixed bag - snippets from all tracks stitched together here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPMjVL5wsOU

not keen on first half at all! But theres some gold in the second half - the tracks at 21, 25, 28 and 35 mins are all great, some familiar faces in there too

saer, Saturday, 2 February 2019 13:23 (five years ago) link

Nkisi is great. Heard one of those tracks on a mix, looking forward to checking out the rest.

anticipating this album. reminded me of huerco s and indeed, popped up on his excellent recent RA podcast

https://acemo.bandcamp.com/album/all-my-life-4

loving this, particularly title track, special, and where they at

Vapor waif (uptown churl), Sunday, 3 February 2019 06:57 (five years ago) link

The Nkisi album is wicked. Does that count as deconstructed club music?

Also feeling Take Me With You by Anthony Naples, some lovely chilled out deep house/ambient/dubby vibes

paolo, Sunday, 3 February 2019 11:31 (five years ago) link

that's you running into a vampire weekend gig, that is :p

calzino, Sunday, 3 February 2019 13:58 (five years ago) link

it's a year old mix and not an album but I've been listening to this mix I found after hearing a track by hyph11e and wanting to track down more music: https://soundcloud.com/i-d-online-1/i-dj-scintii-b2b-hyph11e

also checking out the new Lee Gamble album that I didn't even realize was coming out until it popped up on my recommendations last friday!

mh, Tuesday, 5 February 2019 15:53 (five years ago) link

I've discovered this "deconstructed club" genre via RYM, and like lots of it, but its really just IDM 3.0.

innocence adjacent (Sanpaku), Friday, 8 February 2019 21:38 (five years ago) link

fair

mh, Friday, 8 February 2019 23:38 (five years ago) link

not a big fan of either genre but must disagree

the late great, Friday, 8 February 2019 23:55 (five years ago) link

Is deconstructed club music really a genre it seems like a weird strawman thing but idk

It just seems like there’s a lot of people doing a lot of things these days with club ways of making music, whether it’s neo breaks, fucked lo fi, or post bass weirdness ... maybe just a dialectical movement away from relentless grey tech house colliding with 90s revival? There’s no way Anthony Naples or acemo could be considered idm

Vapor waif (uptown churl), Saturday, 9 February 2019 00:19 (five years ago) link

otm

macropuente (map), Saturday, 9 February 2019 00:28 (five years ago) link

as far as 'deconstructed club' goes i think of the mumdance 'shared meanings' mix more than like lee gamble and PAN. someone like chevel is doing 'deconstructed club music' imo.

plus there's actual idm revival stuff now like the skee mask album

macropuente (map), Saturday, 9 February 2019 00:35 (five years ago) link

One similarity is that no one doing it would apply that label to themselves, and if they are, it's probably trash.

change display name (Jordan), Saturday, 9 February 2019 00:39 (five years ago) link

it's one of those catch all terms for "doing something kinda different" that misses the point by trying to fit a bunch of stuff into a demographic hole

macropuente (map), Saturday, 9 February 2019 00:47 (five years ago) link

wait i thought deconstructed club was all that "ha dance" sounding breaking glass noises stuff

the late great, Saturday, 9 February 2019 00:47 (five years ago) link

"shared meanings" ← thought this genre was called WEIGHTLESSSSS or something like that

the late great, Saturday, 9 February 2019 00:48 (five years ago) link

Yeah, it was first coined to describe what Total Freedom, Lotic, Rabit, etc were doing. But it's since been absorbed as an influence, reacted against, transformed, etc and is essentially meaningless now.

(which is why I started the misfit club etc thread to bring those different strains of non-techno dance {and non-dance} music that I'm interested in)

change display name (Jordan), Saturday, 9 February 2019 01:05 (five years ago) link

should a 2019 thread be made? meaningless beats 2019? or something?

until then, appreciating this rollover from late 2018 gonzo mid-fi post night slugs + breaks thing

Vapor waif (uptown churl), Saturday, 9 February 2019 01:22 (five years ago) link

Lorenzo Senni’s hyper-edited earlier stuff is probably the obvious reconstructed version

mh, Saturday, 9 February 2019 03:12 (five years ago) link

Nkisi really hitting the spot.

pomenitul, Monday, 11 February 2019 15:26 (five years ago) link

should a 2019 thread be made? meaningless beats 2019? or something?

The other thread isn't technically tied to a year, but I'd be fine with a new one if it's unwieldy (length or concept-wise)? Maybe a fresh start would be nice.

the misfit one ... am i insane or did it not say 2018 ...not that it matters!! happy to have this thread be the repository for this confusing tendency. thank you by the way for all your contributions

another one, nyege nyege doing it again

Oh you're right! I'll start a new thread later (or feel free to do it if you have a cute title).

change display name (Jordan), Monday, 11 February 2019 18:55 (five years ago) link

That track is pretty wild, will check out the release for sure.

this is for techno/house not British guys doing footwork or whatever

Yeah please use the other thread.

psherb did a writeup on pfork today, surprised me b/c i thought only i cared about RAP

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:30 (five years ago) link

really got into this Ossia album released this year

mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:34 (five years ago) link

checking out that RAP album

speaking of cross-genre album exercises, still trying to figure out if I like Heavy the Eclipse, the Clouds one

anyone else heard it?

mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:38 (five years ago) link

new to me, wild album art and track titles

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:49 (five years ago) link

been meaning to listen to the ossia lp

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:49 (five years ago) link

RAP really upped the game on names that are unsearchable on streaming services, huh

guess that is one way to make a bandcamp sale

mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:54 (five years ago) link

Ha, that was the only way I could find it (w/the label name). Maybe it's not on streaming services though, there's no way to know.

I was totally stumped the other day after hearing a mix and some tracks by a producer named 'Toni' on NTS the other day. Track names were all generic single words. Couldn't find a soundcloud, twitter, absolutely nothing. Good job Toni.

hah, I was referencing The Locust last week

but yes, the RAP release isn't on anything other than bandcamp afaict

mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 16:08 (five years ago) link

ciderpress, what comic is that? I remember it from somewhere but I'm drawing a blank

mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 16:08 (five years ago) link

dunno i think it's from some locust related record sleeve or merch or zine. it was briefly a meme on SA at some point back in the 00s which is where i have it from
