Rolling techno* albums thread for people who are clearly doing it wrong

"“ this thread is for albums, the bobbins thread is for tracks”

I don’t think this was ever the case tbh"

I think I'd always thought of the bobbins threads as for kinds of music that I might actually hear in clubs, whereas this thread is for music that I'd like to hear in clubs, and that would probably work really well in them, but more than likely wouldn't get played (which makes my posts about Donnacha Costello look a tad awry in retrospect). I think this thread is more dancefloor specific than being for electronica generally. I probably wouldn't post about autechre here, although they are clearly related to techno. I would post about Mouse on Mars. I no longer go to clubs.

Yeah okay that scans, we have moodz and I guess various idm/experimental threads for the rest.

feel like this fits the spirit:

Still blown away by Nathan Micay's album from last year, Blue Spring. Has a good deal of diversity but still feels like a world unto itself. Something to get lost in. Here's the title track:

ERP's Exomoon is an electro belter. More than likely good on dancefloors in some parts; 101% excellent at home.

It's probably best to avoid leaving the house in order to listen to Yagya's Rhythm of Snow, on Force Inc. originally

Actually, that Yagya record isn't anywhere near new. Do we need a separate thread for Rolling techno* albums thread for people who have previously been clearly doing it wrong (or have I missed that somewhere)?

As a perennial electro dilettante, I tend to find one or things a year I like that scratch the itch for me. The Beatrice Dillon one is the one for me so far this year, I've had it going on a loop all week. Perfect music to work and write to.

Feel free to recommend other things I'd like if I like that!

Belated cosign for the Beatrice Dillon. It's making me think of some Hessle Audio and other things I can't quite place: possibly Steve Reich, Dawn of Midi. I can't quite make out how it's made.

thanks for the Yagya neil

this reissue of Move D & Benjamin Brunn "Let's Call It A Day" getting me there

darker sound palette than Songs From The Beehive but still v v chill and atmospheric

This is absolutely hitting the spot tonight. The title track is blissful.

Like a soothing bubble bath

So do I post about Traumprinz here or in the bobbins thread? I feel he's perhaps a bit borderline between the two

Is there a new Traumprinz?!?!?

Post it everywhere!

too good

whoa!

thirded!

arresting perfect pulse record. whole thing is great and thoughtful, Neophyte Delight alone, beeing to me at least, soty material

whoa high praise, i'm excited to hear it.

i've been really enjoying Genuine Silk by Soela, out this week on Dial Records

https://soeladial.bandcamp.com/album/genuine-silk

Yeah, the sepehr album is great

Another shout out for the Soela LP. Nothing groundbreaking but flows very nicely and deep as f**K.

I’ve listened to the Beatrice Dillon Workaround album a few times in the background a fee times since it came out and latched on to a few moments but today I gave it a go on headphones and it cracked wide open for me and it is sosososososo good, like my favorite thing this year so far.

Like, lowkey just reinventing dub techno and creating the most funky, danceable beats ever made at 150 bpm and being very cool and casual about it

new yaeji mixtape belongs in the thread. poppy technoid goodness thru & thru.

Heading back to Workaround for another listen - thanks.

One of my favorites of the year so far, Andrea - Ritorno

Though it's more juke/jungle/jezebel beat focused. But who knows which thread is the right one lol

i think someone mentioned that Soela LP upthread? i'm digging "It's Around Us, It's Everywhere", "Power of Mind" and "Hold On" for club play, should club play ever be a thing again.

*weeps quietly*

Workaround is improvisational in a way but there’s a fine tuned push and pull between the way the music is constantly opening up and the technical mastery of reduced sound. I’ve been reaching for some way to describe how exquisite I find listening to a musical language that is this open ended, constantly alive thing that is also kind of “hidden” in the sense that detail and dimension are hiding in plain sight and always revealing themselves, unexpected but humble - beautiful. In that sense it reminds me of laughing stock by talk talk which is an otherwise weird thing to compare it to.

Yeah Workaround is one of those things that is so well produced that its quality helps to enhance its overall vibe significantly by making those spacial qualities that much more engaging. Big ups to James Rand and Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering.

Good takes. Workaround is great. I didn't realize it was polished up at Dubplates & Mastering. That place turns out so much great work. Wasn't familiar with James Rand but he and Rashad Becker have good ears huh.

I’m on record as having bought new albums and reissues particularly due to D&M being involved!

i feel partially responsible for the confusing cross pollination between this thread and the reconstructed thread but I’ll further it by cross posting the hodge record here. The hodge record — so good!

I'm sure she's been discussed somewhere, but if you haven't checked out the Loraine James from last year, I really recommend doing so. The album just ... breathes really well. Favorite tracks probably So Scared and Sensual.

(I think it was Philip Sherburne's AOTY last year, if that helps.)

its so good! love the cover too

kush jones is one to watch imo

https://kushjones.bandcamp.com/track/like-water

meant to post this one too

https://kushjones.bandcamp.com/track/wop

I wasn't wild about her pre-album EPs but this upsammy album is lovely, 90s Plaid vibes

things i've been enjoying lately:
K-Lone - Cape Cira
DJ Python - Mas Amable
Velocette - Discotheque Saudades
Matt Karmil - STS371

oh man i missed this thread. kush jones is the business. a lot of stuff lately is making me like idm more than i used to lol.

I slept on DJ Python but I have been loving his albums recently

Kush Jones has done the Resident Advisor podcast this week as well.

Have to say I don't understand the DJ Python thing at all.

this is the track off the dj python that really got me:

Count me in for loving Kush Jones and DJ Swisha, but not really being on the DJ Python train

sick OTT satirical shit

“Mastered by Russell Haswell” oh you don’t say
