Thread for awesome stuff on Bandcamp that costs money but is still awesome

I was at one of those Big Ears performances.

Loscil and Underground Lovers buys for sure, then perusing Mark Eitzel / AMC live stuff, then The Apartments, Braids, and Celer pages to see if anything else jumps out.

Can't recommend The Apartments' _In and Out of the Light_ highly enough. Favorite 2020 release. Melancholy piano-led beauty.

I was at that Graves/Moran too, it was great.

I'm waiting for Finders Keepers to update their page with deadstock and whatnot; it's 20 minutes late and I am grown antsy

Boris continuing to do the business with the archival stuff, including among other things today just a whole album from 2009 that had never surfaced before. With Kurihara on it.

bought the new flock of dimes + the really from album (which i haven't heard but just from people describing it it sounds exactly like my shit, can't lose)

Here are my picks for today:

Osheyack & Nahash - Club Apathy
https://svbkvlt.bandcamp.com/album/club-apathy
(insane

Facta - Blush
https://wisdomteethuk.bandcamp.com/album/blush
Beautiful UK electronic music

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 between a Kenyan vocalist/producer and a UK (?) producer

Patrick Belega - Blutt
https://patrickbelega.bandcamp.com/album/blutt
Still need to check out this 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 for my own shameless plug, this band Lovely Socialite has been doing a project where they pick a scale + bpm and all record parts without hearing each other. Then each member produces a track using the stems. They invited me to contribute to a track to this one, so it's somewhere in-between a remix and an original, it was fun:

That DJ Delish is very much in my cart.

Seems downloading an album in the app is now an option on iOS

Yup, update released over the past couple of days. Excellent development!

Indeed

WHAAAAAT

This is awesome and long overdue

On Android too now - upodate overnight.

New single out on my label today: Graham Haynes vs Submerged - Flashtower/Istanbul Gran Prix. Cornet and electronics. Full album coming in July.

And it’s Bandcamp Friday too

new sam prekop ep!!

https://samprekop.bandcamp.com/album/in-away

Finally did a big Dark Entries splurge for what hopefully isn't actually the last Bandcamp Friday- Dax Pierson, Jasmine Infiniti, the restocked Solid Space LP, and their reissue of Severed Heads' Come Visit the Big Bigot. All fucking incredible, but you probably didn't need me to tell you that

new sam prekop ep!!

https://samprekop.bandcamp.com/album/in-away

how big is your collection on Bandcamp?

I've apparently made 366 purchases and my collection is 363 (guess some things were taken down? idk)

979

306

Damn Calstars!

Easy to get caught up in the “buy this entire artists / labels discography for $1”

LA MONTE YOUNG IS ON BANDCAMP

http://justdreamsnyc.bandcamp.com

8013

1017 as of tonight but growing tomorrow.

really wish there was a better way to organize your collection

I've bought about 2500 items, but with about another 5500 items in my wantlist, mine'd be closer to the number in Ned's if I could afford it

I knew Ned’s number was going to shame us all

truly the end times have arrived

As for something to suggest from all that I have, this just got released (well, rereleased), I'm listening to it now, and it rules

OTM!

Can heartily recommend subscribing to Kevin Drumm, you'll get enough drone to last your lifetime.

want to recommend the latest release by the narcotix, which is soooo good. they were featured on bandcamp daily last week: https://daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the-day/the-narcotix-mommy-issues-review

my label keeps 82% of bandcamp revenue, including on bandcamp day, and the remaining 18% goes towards my debt i will never pay off :-)

— Austra⁷ (@austratalks) July 20, 2021

That would depend on the label, sadly.

Seems high

I doubt Shields has the same deal.

Wouldn't this be a "signed digital rights over to a label" issue rather than a Bandcamp one per se?

Yeah that's what it reads like, or that it was built into the label deal from the start.

Yes, bandcamp would have nothing to do with how the revenue is split up

She talks more about things here:

i released hirudin almost a year ago and it's streamed on spotify around 4 million times. based on a payout of $0.0038 per stream and taking into account my deal with my label, i've earned around $2662.38, all of which goes to my label debt, meaning i've pocketed $0.
