Bobbins 2020

and just a note about the conversation above: I don't particularly like Marc Houle, was just bringing him up as an example. I do think that the "noisy" aspects of his sound, particularly evidenced on records like Drift, were a little more interesting to me from a compositional standpoint... but a lot of his dancefloor singles have always sounded like shit to me.

but it's worth saying that I *never* liked Audion ("Mouth to Mouth" is nauseating imho) or Simon Mobile Disco or Switch. It's just not my thing.

As for yoga house, that's been a tendency in the Bay Area for years and years, it's repellent stuff.

lmao you have ... strong opinions

and that's okay!

I really know what I like and dislike at this point lol, particularly when it comes to more straight-up floor-oriented music. I've always kind of been an opinionated jerk about this sort of stuff, as I think anyone who remembers my posts from like 2006-2009 can attest, but really, I just want everyone to have a good time doing their own damn thing when it comes to dancing—.

In this case, I honestly love a lot of what Mamasnake and similar DJs do in their sets— I adore a lot of gabba and hard trance, for example. I think much of my problem is just with individual tracks, such as that Mannerfelt bit or "Mouth to Mouth"— I just don't feel like those tracks are very dynamic or interesting, merely propulsive.

Enjoying this EP from Lisbon, reminding me of some golden era microhouse bobbins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmvP-DxWwH8

Strangely enough I was just about to post something else from another Lisbon label, crime caper happenstances from And.rea

for those like me who couldn't open the YT link to the late great's track in Zing, it should be this one, unless I'm getting something terribly wrong:

Ma Spaventi • Radio Ciocco (MOS028)

(reminder to always label the tracks you're posting, also for searching purposes)

Label for the YouTube link above: Unknown Artist, Carpet & Snares Records ‎(DUMMY01), track 1.4, but the whole EP is dope.

From Rome, an unexpectedly charming stroll from Irol

Tried to post this above but it didn't really work. Fun stuff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbYeYK5nF8

Solid electro from montreal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUeoL2UaoIk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z945aw7UY1g

murky goop from Le Loup on Cabaret

I really like that, saer! Our tastes don't usually align, but I always listen to your posts, and I'm glad I do!

Not sure if I discovered this here or elsewhere. One of my favourite releases of the year for sure

Mr. Ho + Mogwaa - Bail-E

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7GGhkrXScY

a few things I've been feeling lately:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAJTnTINb5U

Chekov - Swerl - dreamy sparkling house on Shanti Celeste's label

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

Pangaea - Like This - diva bumpiness that makes me think of mid-00s fidget house

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k17sYUJJZE

Bambounou - TFTT - big-room arpeggios

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg-sJMvYJXg

Dinky - Porkchops - Italo-disco that doesn't sound too reverent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dATAQbMOA9g

Hodge - Cutie - romantic wistful chimes offset by tough drumwork

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

Kink - Aerotrim - expected massiveness

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

Sleep D - Freak Of... - proggy, trancey, muscular

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfY0gZzLV8o

Fantastic Man - Body Hurt - trippy house with an almost Baltimore club rhythm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suVvlts_0mY

Karenn - Shoes Off - starts off as a sadbanger, ends up as noisy punishing techno

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ecdt9yUw_k

Locked Club - Russian Banya - jittery thick electro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajNk5HoR4HA

Mr G - Gathering NYC - it's Mr G, it's exactly what you expect, sturdy and meaty tech groove

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMB5XWESXYE

Object blue & TSVI - Turing Machine - just the right side of IDM to still be danceable and fun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8ltDpMt3jY

Hame DJ - Zoot - like "Swerve 2" or "Erotic Discourse" but blissed-out

Some great stuff there, boxedjoy. "Russian Banya" is a big tip, exactly the sort of sound I'm obsessed with right now.

chekov - swirl one of my tracks of the year fo sho

the electro revival is hit-or-miss for me, when it's done right I'm really into it but when it's not I find the sterility really alienating. It's weird because with other dance music forms like minimal or purist deep house I can find myself really enjoying it or just comfortable with its pleasantness even if it's not inspiring to me, but bad electro makes me react a bit harshly.

See for me, a lot of the purist deep house stuff strikes me as so lacking in any sort of soul that I become upset.

nice selection, thanks!

apropos of nothing (well, I guess to give myself a more practical means of investigating this stuff, by shuffling things up or whatever) this evening I decided to make a Spotify playlist for this thread:

ILM Bobbins 🐙 2020

I’ve done the first seven months, hope to do the rest tomorrow(-ish).
lots of stuff not on Spotify obviously (I’d say about 40% is missing so far), but you take what you can get.

thank you! 🙌🏻

Will have to alert my husband, who just jumped into Spotify (I told him not to, but alas, he doesn't really have the time/wherewithal to follow music otherwise).

Great stuff on the spotify playlist breastcrawl and the mega list boxedjoy.
