xpost - yes you do!

okay, I forgot to name that one. It's Alan Fitzgerald - Learning to Love. Got me reaching for the French records; Crydamoure, Roule etc.

"Rio" is like a big-room Sofia Kourtesis, I love it

fango - elle cang

RIYL big clangy drumz

I hadn’t noticed there was a new Jamal Moss album, sounding awesome as always.

Today I am enjoying this, on the first record out from him for a decade: Anthony Teasdale - Jan's Hammer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgqlIn7eNG4

I was a bit confused thinking the name was familar, looked it up and Jexopolis used the same track name a couple of years ago.

This reminds me (maybe too much? nah, I'm ok with it) of a classic Francois K track, down to the squelchy synth solo.

that's a beautiful jam

Inkipak - Node (Distant Worlds)

haven't listened to any rodolfo wehbba in probably a decade, but caught this one the other day and it's been doing the trick.

wehbba, "dynamo"

his recent / upcoming remix of jam & spoon's - odyssey to anyoona, while perhaps not my usual kind of thing, is pretty great.

really enjoyed listening to Inkipak’s dot album on the back of the track saer posted. this is “Metrion”:

I just went and bought a bunch of Inkipak stuff on bandcamp - thanks, saer!

Silverlining - Schema, from the album that came out last year. Peak Yaya in the Asda

Inkipak tune is lovely

a few I've been enjoying lately:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-zPI48JCEk

East Coast Love Affair - Chicago - an acid cover of the Roy Ayers 1983 single.

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

Boys Noize & ABRA - Affection (Playgroup Back 2 89 Remix) - as the title suggests, this is a freestyle homage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2FxgliqpTU

X-COAST - XTC V - 90's handbag revivalism complete with familiar samples.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5QzeLfmtSE

Hidden Spheres - Euan 92 - uplifting piano chords over fake dreamy Italo-house.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GDNVaEM6XQ

rRoxymore - Midnight Shift - even on a label as "conventional" as Aus, this is still layered with queasy vocal samples and stuttered rhythms.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eXEZf91b-Q

Bella Boo - True Romance - feels like this year's "La Perla", wistful loved-up filtered-disco

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5c9zo9UW4E

Barnt - This Is For Decor Only - monolithic stompy business for the Ibiza big-rooms, but weird enough to be idiosyncratic.

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

Josh Caffé - Do You Want To Take Me Home? (Steffi & Virginia Remix) - driving sleazy house, splits the difference between Berghain and Robert Owens.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4blFDTi3YWg

Gramrcy - Gliding Again - 138bpm hard techno based on the best thirty seconds in My Bloody Valentine's "What You Want."

^ That's a great list. I'm all for "90s handbag revivalism"

Also that Fango - Elle Cang upthread is wonderful

nice selections! also been enjoying that josh caffé/steffi track

Sorry for being basic but I was listening to fred again…’s boiler room set earlier and it sounded great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0-hvjV2A5Y

because i’m old, i didn’t like it, which is a rather salty way of admitting i couldn’t connect with the music. but as a dj his energy is infectious and undeniable, and it was especially impressive how he handled the few hiccups. above all, it’s an important reminder that (in a club setting anyway) “good” music and good dj’ing don’t mean a whole lot compared to the undeniable power of a totally up-for-it crowd

hmm i need to edit my posts better

anyway, excited for my copy of the new gnork single to show up … any day now … maybe i’ll get it before youtube does!

Fred Again.. seems on paper like someone whose music would be right up my street but every time I try it just leaves me indifferent. As tlg says though, that crowd are loving it and it's nice to see a Boiler Room that feels like an actual room and not just a festival tent.

Hidden Spheres - Euan 92 - uplifting piano chords over fake dreamy Italo-house.
love it

Lategreat: ah yeah agree somewhat. The music is not my usual cup of tea, just loved the energy of the set and the crowd. It’s been a minute since I last saw a boiler room where it felt like a party.

90's handbag revivalism complete with familiar samples.

Yes please, more of this please everyone

precipitation album just came out and it's as gorgeous as you might expect:

much appreciated

Viktor Birgiss - That Time When (Deep Inspiration)

summery, shimmery, chuck another shrimpery on the barbie

This feels very reminiscent of something well known that is escaping me right now

Has some similarities to "Path of Most Resistance" by Pepe Bradock.

Yes! That is exactly the record I was thinking of, just couldn't remember the name

i missed these latest revives, really nice list boxedjoy. i can't remember if i posted this one yet or not but it's giving me a lot of joy lately.

austin atto, niles mason - linger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdKXzM1qOaU

Meanwhile that Bella Boo - True Romance tune has more than a passing similarity to So Weit Wie Noch Wie

sillygirlcarmen - bad blues

great non-schaffel karizma remix too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPi-Tl1nzvE

Move D • The Boogie Lander - Reggie Dokes Other Worldly Jazz Remix (Pandemix Live Jams Vol. 5 B2)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ3a_-NfQ2w

I have no idea what a bobbin is. Can someone please define it for me? Genuinely confused and Google is no help.

sorry, that's not helpful

Knew I could rely on ILM for a genuine, snark-free response.

I'm just going to assume y'all really like sewing machines?

afaict it's an old term first-gen british ilx came up with for for minimal / kompakt-y techno in the early to mid 2000s.

pretty sure it's just old-ILM speak for "house/techno/etc track", or at least that's how i've always read it

xp

now that there are < 10 dance music posters on ilm it doesn't really seem helpful to follow microgenre thread topics that closely or maybe i just don't care.

i wish we had a different name for house and techno threads but this one is somewhat adequate, i guess, if dated

bobbins is used informally in brit-english as a synonym for nonsense, and i'm guessing it was originally used on ilx in that sense but in an affectionate way?

I'm just going to assume y'all really like sewing machines?

i seem to remember the music in the bobbins threads being compared to sewing machines early on but the detective search work required to verify that is beyond me.

Interesting, thanks for your responses! I love that the term is hyper-specific to ILM. It's like a secret code language.

Anyways, sorry for the interruption. Back to the bobbins!
