The Gooooose track on that is excellent, sounds really fresh but also some classic filter sweeps in there

Yeah I hear you, my first reaction is that it felt bandwagon-y given their past releases. On the other hand a lot of these artists could use a boost and good support, so hopefully it works out for everyone.
I was just listening to this new Gooooooooooooooooooooose, which is excellent: https://svbkvlt.bandcamp.com/album/jac

Not dance music but this drums/synth duo record truly hits a sweet spot for me, I really think that people who are into the Beatrice Dillon record would like this:https://health.bandcamp.com/album/neighbours(Church Andrews & Matt Davies - NEIGHBOURS)

So I regularly listen to stuff on the main bobbins thread and think "nice, but I know how to do that" but some of that NEIGHBOURS stuff makes me feel like a total production chump, probably because of the live element. Really impressive.

all right, it’s time for me to listen to this new Hyph11e album
― mh, Sunday, 18 October 2020 22:58 (three years ago) link
Tombot - same, I get the impression that the synth half of the duo is in total control of his rig, and in a very flexible and musical way. I really like his recent solo record too:https://health.bandcamp.com/album/ca1-extended
(I need to listen to the Hyph11e too!)
― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 19 October 2020 19:12 (three years ago) link
I need a second listen. A few noisy ambient things, some more melodic stuff, only a couple tracks stood out on first listen
I’m assuming the bangers will be whatever remixes happen. The single before the album had a kode9 one iirc that was pretty good but not a huge variation?
― mh, Monday, 19 October 2020 20:20 (three years ago) link
fwiw there are a couple tracks on this that would qualify for this thread so it just baaaarely squeaks by when it comes to meeting our criteria, but I enjoyed it:https://sneakersocialclub.bandcamp.com/album/evident-ware-full-lp

neighbours is def dillon-bait and similar to that record seems like a breath of fresh air wherein experimental doesn't mean "dour" "academic" or "insultingly boring as shit" as it so often does in NYC ...
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Monday, 19 October 2020 21:59 (three years ago) link
Ooh, well said. I'm trying to take a page out of this approach too, focused but fun.
I just realized that Church Andrews is an alias of Bambooman, which I can totally hear now:https://bambooman.bandcamp.com/album/shudderhttps://bambooman.bandcamp.com/album/ricochet

That Neighbours record— I find the mix, at least on the first two tracks on the bandcamp, to be really heavy in the mids and high frequencies. It is interesting and fun, but I'm finding it slightly irritating in a way I don't find other stuff we're putting here. Does it get, uh, bassier?

this Hyph11E record has some good shiny sounds and nice moments of glitchy dnb abandon, super gross cover art too, can't stop looking at it
― adam, Monday, 26 October 2020 17:14 (three years ago) link
Not really. My guess was that the subby kicks and claps were sampled and the drummer was just playing all the clattery inbetween stuff, but from this video it looks fully live:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWfNfNCi5o4
(my guess is that it's the old trick where a tone generator/sine wave + gate is sidechained to the kick)

The Nazar mix for RA is pretty wild (and dark). Really enjoyed the Jamz Supernova one too, more on the conventional side but it led me to this great South African ballroom track (reading about Kirvan Le Cap now, who sadly was murdered earlier this year):https://cajoux.bandcamp.com/track/s-wat-jy-wil

What do we consider Giant Swan? The preview track from their upcoming EP is very noisy, I love it.

Industrial techno, I guess? I enjoyed their debut, looking forward to the EP.
― pomenitul, Sunday, 29 November 2020 21:57 (three years ago) link
It's too weird to be industrial techno, I think. That's there, sure, but there's also the Sewn Leather/DJ Dog Dick noise punk/grind thing, the more refined digital hardcore of the late 90s and early 2000s, and some dare I say OPN-like vibes on the debut. The track above is definitely not the best representation, but I love it still
― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Sunday, 29 November 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link
I don't think it's too weird to be industrial techno, it reminds me immediately of Fortran 5

I was talking more about the debut, not the track above, though you have a good point!

Listening to Richard Devine - Systik for the first time now and this is really good. If you enjoy Exai/elseq/NTS era autechre this is definitely somewhere in the same area.

Well here are three more compilations I'm slowly working my way through, everything is extremely high-quality and creative and I hope I actually listen to them more than once:
Timedance 5 year comp:https://timedance.bandcamp.com/album/sharpen-moving
Ghost Notes (Impey's label):https://ghostnotesworldwide.bandcamp.com/album/studies-vol-1
Svbkvlt (the advance tracks were amazing):https://svbkvlt.bandcamp.com/album/cache-02

Also that Nazar EP (super dark, dubby kudoro):https://nazar.bandcamp.com/album/territorial-ep
And more ravey stuff from Bored Lored, who's released an EP on like every Bandcamp Friday, and they're all good:https://boredlord.bandcamp.com/album/convolution

I think I posted the Rian Treanor album upthread, but it's wild, I need to go back to it. I like it more after learning it came out of working with some of the Nyege Nyege crew.
― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 7 December 2020 15:50 (three years ago) link
It was a grower for me, but I think that's because it begins in a somewhat lackluster way, and then only really gets going by the fourth track, which is my favorite on the record
