Cool! I'm checking out that Osunlade now (and then diving into the new Arca).
Oh and obviously the Alabaster dePlume album is on my list, I need to check out that Soccer96 one too.

Big big fan of all the releases Nídia has out on the Príncipe label this year, but especially her full-length, Não Fales Nela Que A Mentes

hey forks, good to see some of my choices resonate :-) will investigate your list further.what’s the deal with the Son Tùng M-TP album? I love some of his songs (“Lac Trôi”!!!) Is he especially good live? Did you see the movie?
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 30 June 2020 11:46 (three years ago) link
Wow that Soccer96 EP is really fun, didn't expect it to go full post-punk/DFA.
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 30 June 2020 14:45 (three years ago) link
yeah, "i was gonna fight fascism" is a single of the year contender for me i think
Breastcrawl, you are among my fave DJs for sure. RE: Son Tung, I'm at a point where I listen to anything he releases; he and his production is consistently strong (Lac Troi is a bombshell but Chay Ngay Di and Chung Ta Khong Thuoc Ve Nhau are also bangers). Sky Tour is just a live set from his concert film but it's pretty strong throughout. Don't remember if I found him on ILX or not...?
[apologies for lack of proper accent marks for ST M-TP]

― rob, Tuesday, 30 June 2020 16:04 (three years ago) link
i didn't get to it yet! will report back.

current on deck playlist is Jessie Ware (maybe four more plays and I can shelf this), select Pure Moods tracks, new K-Pop/Afro thread recommends, Lila Ike (now), HAIM, David Lang, Bibio, IDK, Hum, Pottery, last week's Discovery recommends
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 30 June 2020 16:10 (three years ago) link

Yeah what I heard of that sounded really intriguing. I'm also curious about his opera based on The Loser (Thomas Bernhard novel) but have been waiting for a time when my availability, energy, attention, mood, etc are all in alignment

forks, maybe you found out about ST M-K here: Vietnamese Music/Music in Vietnam. Then again, TSJ covered him a few times over the years as well, I think. Anyways, the songs you mentioned are some of my faves as well. I even like his collabo with Snoop Dogg.
