Rolling Re-Re-Reconstructed Club Music 2021

i missed it and am adding to playlist now.
You should shout about this stuff! do we not have a thread?

Does this count?

https://kessleruk.bandcamp.com/album/ambivalent-ep

Just a chill d’n’b/breakbeat record that sports the right amount of haunting melodies. Love it.

xp, overdue: Chants: Poly Pointillism

Awwwww thanks, I feel bad enough about sneaking my stuff in here, outside the bounds of IMM!

crown emoji @ jordan

this cassius select ep - which i just only found out about via that enayet ep - slaps and is tailor made for this thread. late 2020 so sorta cheating but ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JFramkX008

Jordan, do you know my pal W1lli3 who is from Madison, moving back there in the next month or two from Oakland?

(Also, going to peep the Chants record on Friday :-))

I don't think so, but I'm always up for meeting new music people here! It's a very small community.

(and thanks <3)

I'll try to put y'all in touch. It's sometimes hard to know what his headspace is like because...well, the last five years of his life have been marked by tragedy heaped on tragedy. Can't imagine what he's been through. But we used to make music together, and he's a sweetheart who is into the sort of stuff yr into! He's friends with Joel (Golden Donna), if that gives any context.

Ah, ok cool.

(should probably take this off ilx but this is a different person than Dav1d L@st, who also moved back here from Oakland for awhile for tragic reasons, and is friends with J03l, right?)

feeling this james bangura. tense and breaky

https://art-e-fax.bandcamp.com/album/e-fax009

Different person, Jordan! If your webmail works, I'll try to connect y'all through that. Mine does.

Yeah mine works :)

James Bangura is so prolific & good.

A couple new hmurd tracks messing around with meter & time sig, love the sound design:
https://hmurd.bandcamp.com/album/sync-button-brine-jester

I'm guessing this Friday is going to be a big one for Bandcamp drops.

New Siete Catorce EP:
https://brukrecords.bandcamp.com/album/temperatura

Also new Osheyack & Nahash on Svbkvlt next month, love the preview track:
https://svbkvlt.bandcamp.com/album/club-apathy

I wonder how the Bandcamp ban has been affecting them, if they're using VPNs out getting someone outside China to administer it or what.

I would imagine it’s not a big deal. the label founder is an expat from the UK. if in-country sales are a thing, that’d probably be via different channels. is it just that the site is inaccessible, or does the government try to block money transfers?

I think it's the former, no idea about the latter.

Soooo many Bandcamp emails today (as expected)!

Ok here we go:

Loris on Subreal
https://subreal.bandcamp.com/album/rastros
Full release isn't out yet, but sounds very DJ Plead (with more kick drum)

new Kirk Barley ambient EP
https://kirkbarley.bandcamp.com/album/lake-of-gold-primer

new Bored Lord EP (of course)
https://boredlord.bandcamp.com/album/lavirga
Breaks galore

MM - Massive Music
https://eventhestrong.bandcamp.com/album/massive-music
This one is really fun, drums for days. Billed as DDM = dumb dance music, lol.

object blue - Grotto (TT)
https://tobagotracks.bandcamp.com/album/grotto
Still digesting this but it's cool, love the last vocal cut-up track. She did an NTS show only playing stems from it and talking about them, that was unique.

Dave Quam
https://davequam.bandcamp.com/album/groundscore-b-w-pink-line-beat
Fun two tracker, I'm getting Dance Mania vibes (which have been hitting the spot for me, going through old mixtapes on youtube lately)

Checking this Indonesian label out based on a Ch@l Ravens rec, there are some pretty crazy records on their bandcamp:
https://yesnowave.bandcamp.com/album/alkisah-dikisahkan
(also Slikback and Gabber Modus Operandi on that comp)

drumzu - Fourtunes EP
https://drmzu.bandcamp.com/album/fourtunes-ep
Uk funky? Very playable/danceable.

DJ JM - Bad Advice EP
https://djjm1.bandcamp.com/album/dj-jm-bad-advice-ep
More functional fun

Enjoying the new Mr. Mitch album:
https://mrmitch.bandcamp.com/album/lazy

It sounds sort of early '10s in a good way.

Tons of gems here:
https://daily.bandcamp.com/best-club-music/best-club-music-on-bandcamp-january-february-2021

The new ZULI EP got released a day early, and it's certainly not as weird as his previous material, definitely more indebted to jungle and d'n'b, but it's really hitting the damn spot.

Can't wait to check that.

Also out today, shiny dancehall/flex EP on Nervous Horizon:
https://nervoushorizon.bandcamp.com/album/sim-terminate-ep

This one is a curiosity, Jaf Ge Nos - Un Discorsetto EP:
https://nostrohoodsystem.bandcamp.com/album/un-discorsetto-ep
Long tracks that are almost like medleys or overtures, sort of reminds me of the weirder material on HudMo's Butter. Technicolor and silly, going in and out of beats and jazzy free-time interludes, sounds like it was made by a keyboardist.

That Jaf Ne Gos is excellent, thank you Jordan.

NKC collaboration with Nabalayo, a Kenyan singer/producer:
https://eventhestrong.bandcamp.com/album/mwizi

Sunareht's LP is out today, I think it's a stunner (adds to his whole weightless house chords thing without losing what makes it special):
https://sunareht.bandcamp.com/album/amorama

And I'm super into the rhythms & sound design on this Tristan Arp EP:
https://tristanarp.bandcamp.com/album/oddkin

Uptown churl was talking about the Slink label before, this is a cool track:
https://ins-rt.net/audio/k-wata-what-do-u-want-hard-mix

Bandcamp Friday again already?

Osheyack & Nahash - Club Apathy
https://svbkvlt.bandcamp.com/album/club-apathy
(hard-hitting & hardcore)

Facta - Blush
https://wisdomteethuk.bandcamp.com/album/blush
Very pretty, flirting with schlock at times?

DJ Swisha, Niyr & Kanyon - What's Stopping You From Doing This?
https://djswisha.bandcamp.com/album/whats-stopping-you-from-doing-this
(breaks galore)

DJ Delish - TOOLSHED
https://djdelish.bandcamp.com/album/toolshed
(Ballroom club tools)

Nabalayo x NKC
https://eventhestrong.bandcamp.com/album/mwizi
Collab w/a Kenyan vocalist/producer, into this

Patrick Belega - Blutt
https://patrickbelega.bandcamp.com/album/blutt
Ambient cello + electronics record on PAN

DJ Hank x DJ Orange Julius - OJ and Henny
https://djorangejulius.bandcamp.com/album/oj-and-henny
In-the-pocket 160 bpm club tracks

And this TAH single:
https://tahison.bandcamp.com/track/beat-it-up-like-these-drums

that Nabalayo x NKC EP is great, thanks for the heads up!

also enjoying Nabalayo’s Changanya album from last year - not really club music tho, reconstructed or otherwise

stupidly a day late with this, but k wata has released the EP that those above tracks teased; opener 8 UP is my fave i think. sorta sneaking a bit of IDM in there with the restless quality of it all but retaining the more chilled-out dubby thing that i like

https://kwata.bandcamp.com/releases

Massive label comp from Argentina's AGVA:
https://agvarcrds.bandcamp.com/album/v-a-arena002

Haven't gotten through it but there are some gems so far (the opening track, CHLO, Ozomatecuhtli, lots more)

Does this Illuvia album belong here? This is just gorgeous stuff. Super lush ambient soundscapes with some great breaks. Every track is an epic.

https://astrangelyisolatedplace.bandcamp.com/album/iridescence-of-clouds

heavily leaning on the 're/de-constructed' side of things, with thread fav ZULI in the mix

https://bfdm.bandcamp.com/album/bfdm-025-maoupa-mazzocchetti-uxy-dosing

militant vibes

https://speakermusic.bandcamp.com/album/soul-making-theodicy-2

That rules, on the deck for bandcamp Friday next week.

A few Bandcamp Fri picks:

BKGD Audio - Sufi Service (Sweat Equity)
https://sweatequitynyc.bandcamp.com/album/sufi-service
Some really varied & charming bangers here

Flex002 comp (early reflex)
https://earlyreflex.bandcamp.com/album/Flex002
Lots of kinetic & sound-design heavy tracks here

Former ilxor Reverend Dollars - PVNKHAVS
https://reverenddollars.bandcamp.com/album/pvnkhavs-ep
Rugged & improvisational post-punk/house/dub jams?

And here's a great round-up of recent Jersey club, Chicago footwork, and ballroom tracks (new DJ Delish in there):
https://daily.bandcamp.com/best-club-music/the-best-club-on-bandcamp-march-april-2021

I guess it came out last year, but it's new to me and wow, this record is super fucking weird and great. https://peatonalwest.bandcamp.com/album/mirage

Rev's record is so good

raw noisy techno x Honduran punto

https://www.thewire.co.uk/audio/tracks/listen-dalibor-cruz-s-do-or-dwell

Love that track.

This georg-i EP on YCO is fantastic, really into the sound design:
https://ycolife.bandcamp.com/releases

Also intrigued by the preview tracks on this release for a new label curated by Teki Latex:
https://impossiblecityrecords.bandcamp.com/

Rui Ho - Horror Pop Barbie
(Barbie Girl club edits on Genome 6.66mbp)
https://genome666mbp.bandcamp.com/album/gnm023-rui-ho-horror-pop-barbie

I put this one up as a free dl for a few days, sort of a noisy techno club remix:
https://chants.bandcamp.com/track/num-system-a-machine-chants-bootleg

Also I'm very much here for new Koreless, finally

https://koreless.bandcamp.com/album/agor

I like this one

https://osare-editions.bandcamp.com/album/oe009-suemori-maebashi

New Iglew (!) sounding fresh:
https://soundcloud.com/wisdomteeth-uk/iglew-caffeine-dream-wsdm018

Been waiting for this LOFT banger to get a release:
https://aya-yco.bandcamp.com/album/wish-it-would-rain

The last track on the Iglew EP <3 <3 <3
https://wisdomteethuk.bandcamp.com/album/iglew-light-armour

Very enjoyable dembow/diasporic/whatever you want to call this style these days:
https://sosiposi.bandcamp.com/album/sosi-posi-2

New Color Plus always welcome, uptempo breaks and pretty melodies:
https://colorplus.bandcamp.com/album/lazersent

i think the maxwell sterling album belongs here?

https://maxwellsterling.bandcamp.com/album/turn-of-phrase

i like how seasick it sounds

more twitchy cut-up filterhouse from sunareht, if you like his style you'll like this, a bit more anthemic and less methodical than previous efforts. also a bit much over the course of an entire LP, i'll admit, but some incredible moments

https://sunareht.bandcamp.com/album/amorama

meant to add - that sosi posi rules, thank you. those rhythms with industrial drums and detroit chords would be my ideal form of music

Some gripping theory there, guess I should start paying attention to Ben UFO again. Tbh I had tuned him and his crew out because they were becoming such a dominant force in the scene that I didn't want my tastes to be majorly shaped by this small clique.

(Apologies if we've already cancelled mentions of 'the scene' here. Also thanks to Jordan for posting those Call Super links for me -- I tried searching for them when I posted but either they weren't up yet or I overlooked them.)

And yeah instead of Hessle Audio I allow my tastes to be shaped by Livity Sound and Lobster Theremin these days.

If you want to hear some crazy metric modulation-based mixed (aka 'triplet mixes'), this mix is a flex:

https://soundcloud.com/peopleofvalley/michaelbrailey-for-valley

Yesss that’s the sauce. It’s very compelling in a not especially dancefloor-friendly way. Some of it is quite catchy. It’s sort of filling the same niche as math rock. Or Linkin Park? Could do without more of that.

Quite of few of his own edits on the track list. Some aya too.

Ha yes, I love it in a math rock/minimalist drummer brain way, but is essentially just showing off for other DJs/musicians, I'm sure no one on a dancefloor really cares about the elegance of your shift into a new tempo.

Now I'm going back to my fave MICHAELBRAILEY edits of yore:
https://michaelbrailey.bandcamp.com/track/shalt-x-sean-paul-temperature-michaelbrailey-acheron-ultimate-destruction-edit

https://michaelbrailey.bandcamp.com/track/grrl-x-mariah-we-belong-together-michaelbrailey-workout-runway-gym-edit

(he's a gem, we've been labelmates twice over)

viborg, you might be interested in the Donato Dozzy record that came out end of last year, as it is at 170 BPM but due to the polyrhythms and such, it truly does not sound like it excepting one track: https://donaotodozzysm.bandcamp.com/album/the-tao

I really like it.

I did the old ‘change the tempo using triplets’ trick on an EP for Cut La Roc about 10 years ago but going from 140bpm breakstep to 93.3bpm hip hop and back. Probably not the best idea to keep people on a dancefloor in retrospect 😂.

Link??? :)

YSI?

God i miss those days sometimes lol

https://open.spotify.com/track/0TGeBgj12ureMx5IHHjf9e?si=nPjiPP-aS6GhSI_jTpu1iA

Also featuring a stab made from the outro of a Manics album track if I’m remembering correctly

NEW PLOY EP:
https://ployuk.bandcamp.com/album/rayhana-e-p

This grooves hard (Henzo - Iron Lighter EP):
https://leftrightandcentre.bandcamp.com/album/iron-lighter-ep-lrc005

Classic Principe vibe:
https://principediscos.bandcamp.com/album/ang-stia-nos-cora-es-da-tia

Nice single from Wordcolour:
https://wordcolour.bandcamp.com/track/bluster

playing the hell out of the Kessler, thanks all.

is there a good way to search mix tracklists, to find out who's putting "Only A Fool" into their sets and what they're playing alongside it?

Heh let me know if you find a better way, but I just use google and the search on the NTS site. I guess there's mixesdb.com, but that seems kinda limited.

hmmm if mixesdb is to be believed no one has had the courage to play Only A Fool

Looks like it was maybe played on this Optimo mix way back in 2016, is that the same track?
https://www.nts.live/shows/optimo/episodes/optimo-25th-june-2016

alas no

This is cool, kinda reminds me of Lone in the way it shifts between dance, beats, IDM-ish tracks, and ambient, but I like J. Albert better:
https://towheadrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/phase-portrait

B E N N - Entheos on early reflix, hits hard:
https://earlyreflex.bandcamp.com/album/entheos

New on Salviatek (Sueuga Kamau):
https://salviatek.bandcamp.com/track/claridad-ext-tica
https://salviatek.bandcamp.com/album/como-el-viento-vuelve

Great club tool:
https://zutzut.bandcamp.com/track/molly-y-mary

Oh -- nunu's debut album, self-released, which I haven't had the occasion give proper attention to yet, but love what I've heard. Hard ambient, sort of cinematic + ecstatic sound design, apparently each track made from the same samples and synths:
https://nununtp.bandcamp.com/album/cycle

I think this fits on here?

https://muqataa.bandcamp.com/album/kamil-manqus

I don’t love all of it but the highlights (like Dirasat ‘Ulya and Ikmal) are pretty amazing

I'm so over giant compilations, but I've been going through the most recent Juke Bounce Werk comp and it's very high-quality, lots of fun tracks (mostly 160 but gets more varied in the back half):
https://jukebouncewerk.bandcamp.com/album/juke-bounce-werk-presents-jbdubz-vol-9

And I'm not sure if this has been posted above, but I slept on it and it's amazing
https://hausofaltr.bandcamp.com/album/black-rave-culture
Black Rave Culture, D.C. producer trio including James Bangura.

Happy New Year, ugh guess I have to come up with a 2022 thread title now.

Is there a new thread? Nothing to report on yet, but curious!

I'll start one. Title suggestions???

"Structure? What structure? Rolling Re-Deconstructed Club Music 2021."

Or something like that?

Thanks, chose to keep it simple, and resisted calling it "Rolling Reconstructed Club Music 2022: Resurrections"

Rolling Re-De-Reconstructed Club Music 2022
