Bobbins 2021

i have to say i pretty much always enjoy tong’s own mixes, he’s more omnivorous than a lot of people give him for

really into this actual bobbin:

Very nice and wonky! Digging that.

Anything else and uplifting and exuberant as these tracks from the last year or so?:

^eris drew - quivering in time

Really love the Dave Aju - X17 track, map.

first release on his first label. i'm a fan. need to truck it out to california and see him dj some day.

I can’t remember if I’ve seen him dj! I’ve seen a live set, though, and it was good

Man, I just love this sort of sweet rave revival stuff

Model Man - Sweet Surrender

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-jfXLX1cv0

New Lone album is quite a bit more subdued and distant than I would have imagined. Almost witch house style

Really love this one, very pretty lo-fi vibes

so breezy and lovely:

Marc Brauner - Your Heart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrNuow5DMxA

Lots of subtle little synth solos in that one - good stuff!

fab

missed this one from last year

masarima - freak like u

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0NPhvIB-GM

Oh yeah that one was a real grower for me

I know we trend a little more techno and house in this thread generally, but lord I want to hear this on a massive system while I'm absolutely ripped on drugs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJzm-2MRSs

what do you even call this kind of music??

Tbh, I'd say this track has most in common with late 90s/early 2000s hard acid and more old school Goa trance...the rest of the EP is more d'n'b and break's oriented, but this track is just a massive trance number that begins on a more ambient tip

pom mentioned it in the "reconstructed" thread but I dunno, it doesn't sound "reconstructed" to me. it sounds like trance music.

That's quite something. It feels like it works through several different styles of music in waves rather than movements, so rather than having a turnaround and then moving into a breaks section, the breaksy drums seem to appear at first on the horizon and get nearer and nearer..

Yeah, the whole EP is really quite good, full of subtle moments and effects that really work for me right now.

Papolious Jones - We're The OGs (Original Ghosts) on Top Rhythm Boppers

November window wind down time

very nice

That's great. Wish I could find a digital copy

In case it interests anyone, I spoke to the DJ's DJ, Chrissy about his latest album Physical Release and about the dance music scene from the 90s all the way up to the post-lockdown era. It was a great chat: https://charliestoic.medium.com/moving-house-dancing-about-architecture-with-chrissy-50c89cb7f2a3

Good read, thanks!

I think bobbins heads will like this, proper throwback UK dancefloor material:
https://djsharda.bandcamp.com/album/high-tide

Yep. That is some good mince. Purchased.

(thank you!)

very nice. would love it on vinyl!

yeah this is nice

Heimyl - HOWL15.1

Was checking out a couple of the earlier Howl releases, and they've a new release from Heimyl just come out, route one football, all false nines back on the bench

breastcrawl shared Sofia Kourtesis's "By Your Side" upthread from her Fresia Magdalena EP. "La Perla" is even better. Peruvian artist based in Berlin. The vocals are her own.

The new Sound Stream as Disgo - Trick or Track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xAN73dfZJ4

The Eris Drew is pretty fantastic, denser than an Octo Octa, lots of fun and cascading with organic and playful sounds (A Howling Wind - Show You Love), tributes to the 90s injected everywhere (Sensation, Ride Free), very consistent and yet bookended with clear highlights (first two and last two). I haven't found anything to say about the last two but I like them too.

DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - "Being Alone"

Despite representing herself solely through 8-bit images of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," London's DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ transcends gimmick in creating immersive, sample-laden house records that can make three hours feel like twenty minutes. On The Makin' Magick II Album, her songs flow into one another like a stream (or perhaps a lazy river) of consciousness — listening to just one track can be sacrilegious, but each song is like the sonic version of looking back to a treasured childhood memory. Throughout the record, indiscernible vocal samples build on top of each other (is that Celine Dion on "I'm Still High"?) cloaked in carefree nostalgia, and highlights like the 12-minute "Being Alone" feel as though your molly just hit in the garden of Eden. It's easy to lose yourself in DJ Sabrina; just relax and surrender to the evergreen magic.

Title track from Phil Evans' LP, S-Mile.

Drifted past me a bit on first listen, but really taken with its friendly demeanour on return - cheery vid too for the people who look at things

xp Listened to a lot of that DJ Sabrina album today. It's reminiscent of bits of the first Avalanches album, maybe. Not as adventurous and varied but just as intoxicating. Even the song titles seem familiar: "Airplane Song (Welcome Home)", "Paradise", "Love Is The Purest Thing There Is"...

From new label UFO series:

Seafoam - hard city, for some heady deep minimal house vibes

and Volen - Rolling with the papers, for some trippy stripped back breakbeat vibes

Man that whole Sharda EP is so dope

High-NRG!

Speaking of which, I'm really loving the new album by Sansibar which seems to travel across a whole range of styles from ambient techno to tear-out two-step but using a kind of nineties trance pallette. Whole album is worth a listen

I bought that Papolious Jones EP. Played it at my little pub gig and had two people come up and ask what it is. One of them bought it right there on the spot off Bandcamp. Spreading the word!

Just bought the Sansibar thing. Thanks!
