Rolling (post-)Reconstructed Club Music 2020

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!)

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?

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 ...

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/shudder
https://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

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:

(my guess is that it's the old trick where a tone generator/sine wave + gate is sidechained to the kick)

On the less nerdy end of things --

New Neana

Neana x Angel Ho

And I'm looking forward to going through this anniversary comp from DECISIONS (Air Max '97's label):
https://decisionsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/consequences

So...a

e?

Currently listening to this sort of scene retrospective mix for the mid '10s, still extremely inspiring to me:

New Smurphy (blown-out dubby footwork) <3

https://smurphy.bandcamp.com/album/spheres-of-consciousness

Excellent news, the last Smurphy was wonderful

That Smurphy is...whew, really good.

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

Do we feel okay about Howie Lee here? This came out a few months ago but I dig.

https://maloca.bandcamp.com/album/7-weapons-series

Ooh this is great, ty.

Digging the latest Principe release:
https://principediscos.bandcamp.com/album/c-digo-de-barras

Thanks! I need to remember to check my "Bandcamp" email folder more often, I probably got an announcement about that but haven't checked in a minute.

xp ben ufo recommended codigo de barras via twitter and i have to say it's very cool

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

https://giantswan.bandcamp.com/album/do-not-be-afraid-of-tenderness

Industrial techno, I guess? I enjoyed their debut, looking forward to the EP.

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

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

Yeah, that Devine EP is probably the best thing he's done so far.

Ok lol @ at the 'more cowbell' track on the Svbkvlt comp

Have we talked about File Under UK Metaplasm here?

came for the cover art, stayed for the 808 bass

https://littlebeatmore.bandcamp.com/track/uhuru-republic-feat-splendore-konyagi-a-gogo

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.

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

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

From there on, though, it's excellent!

Been listening this one a lot, it has some fun bangers:
https://soniacalico.bandcamp.com/album/simulation-of-an-overloaded-world

Jordan I just want to thank you for being so constantly on-the-ball with this stuff, a lof of great stuff that would have otherwise passed me by in this thread

<3 <3 <3

2nded

thirded!

yup

this Sonia Calico album is amazing

after playing that Sonia Calico album, the first two tracks spotify auto-played for me were from two 2020 albums I like very much with similar vibes which haven't really been mentioned much here:

Blacksea Não Maya - Máquina de Vénus
DJ Plead - Going for It

this might fit here - awesome stuff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWXTQkNSRlc
D'Vo • Mbalax

from the compilation Pluralistic Reflex on Byrd Out

fwiw - I don't any of these names: "D'Vo [is] the solo electronic output of Tilé Gichigi-Lipere of Cykada, Myriad Forest and more."

Bandcamp link for that album: https://byrdout.bandcamp.com/album/pluralistic-reflex

Love the sound world of that track.

Suggestions for 2021 thread title?????

yes thanks to jordan for being a boss at not only curating but producing this style

perhaps just like "rolling experimental post-bass", is that too clinical? i can't think of any more jokes. but i do think that is the difference between this and the "doing it wrong" thread which is for more shredded and lo fi traditional house and techno (i think?)
