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

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!

https://sepehr.bandcamp.com/album/shaytoon

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

https://iliantape.bandcamp.com/album/itlp06-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

https://editionsmego.bandcamp.com/album/upside-down-smile

this slaps hell yeah

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

dj python is fantastic, all of it

i mentioned this in the reconstructed thread (sorry) and its from late 2019 but new ramzi is so good, better than python imo (not to be hierarchical)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxnad4I6S9s&list=OLAK5uy_l9aCY5anWbi6TyJKbgCr_N_o4wWv88pyg&index=3

luv ramzi, was just listening to her older stuff yesterday :)))

new shinichi atobe album!

I've been listening to this Somfay LP a ton and holy shit just realized they're selling the vinyl for a buck

Lol at the reply post that turns it into an actual minimal techno tune

of course, matmos has already done this _and_ performed it in concert

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnD5aVq8Eso

over 2,000 reviews of the album on rym and yet the pitchfork-industrial complex only gave it a 7.8! shameful

with due respect to drew and martin, how fast we forget hurra torpedo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMi_Bu4PesA

well i for one had never heard of hurra torpedo. (honestly it's a struggle for me to remember matmos, i'm old) hurra torpedo remind me more of amoebic ensemble, even though technically amoebic ensemble only had one member who played pots and pans. you can hear him in the earlier band space heater at the beginning of this video:

https://youtu.be/9mFywpVqy1g

hurra were an aughties hit for me; their touring schtick was to source appliances at every stop because they utterly demolish whatever they're "playing". It's energetic!

when the clap comes in >>>>>>>>>

new shinichi atobe album!
