Rolling techno* albums thread for people who are clearly doing it wrong

The new Lord Of The Isles LP 'Night of the Endless Beyond' out on ESP Institute certainly belongs here. splendid stuff! deeply underrated producer

haven't had a chance to get through all of it yet but it does sound great so far

I love this guy but track 1 is unlistenable on headphones

this year's steffi album is truly awesome

No idea if this is the right thread for it as several tracks feature prominent rapping but Shygirl's Alias EP is the kind of SOPHIE/Arca-adjacent deconstructed club music (bad descriptor but whatevz) that should be right up ILM's collective alley.

Don't miss Nymph, which tipsy mothra recommended in the AOTY So Far thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq5Lig6kwgs

Arp's New Pleasures got mentioned on AOTY but I think it deserves to be ... somewhere. If anyone has a better thread for it lemme know.

anyone else got into the Benedek record this year? half early 90s vocal house a la Inner City, half New Jack Swing-ish rnb. Just relistened to it and it still stands up imo, just cos the songs are so good

Going back through Bandcamp stuff, this Yazzus EP goes super hard

https://yazzus.bandcamp.com/album/black-metropolis

Air Max '97 with the cheeky techno banger (I actually lol'ed at that breakdown)

I like the merch t-shirt with the reactions

Any Skee Mask fans here? Missed these two releases last year:

https://scntstlab.bandcamp.com/album/a

https://scntstlab.bandcamp.com/album/b

Previously unreleased Skee Mask tracks that were made between 2015 and 2019, all unmastered. "DIY Letterbox" was included in the Electronic Beats TV feature from 2017.

Haha the Fatdrop quotes, I missed that, lol.

xp hope some of you check this out. Listening to B now, and it bumps. Try "mWidit".

AD Dub on B is great

whole thing really exceeded my expectations for a bunch of unreleased tracks. love his more ambient infused techno like "JPP263"

New Matrixxman is the most relentless thing in ages

Good stuff. Love this dude's versatility. Did not expect the heavy Aphex vibe on "At Play"

Andrea - Due In Color

Hitting the spot right now

https://iliantape.bandcamp.com/album/itlp14-due-in-color

Ilian tape put out a lot of cool albums last year, I recommend them

oh i liked Andrea's previous album, thanks for the heads up

New Tzusing LP on PAN - 绿帽 Green Hat
https://tzusing.bandcamp.com/album/green-hat

that's a good one

something very funny and hard to take seriously (prob makes the track better tbh) about dark strange ebm or whatever with the there will be blood milkshake speech over it

Haha. Yeah, it's a very downbeat-heavy, stompy record.

A couple others I’ve been vibing to

Earth trax - closer now

this is amazing, thank you! I have to pay more attention to this thread...

https://delodiolabel.bandcamp.com/album/froid-dub-deep-blue-bass-del13

froid dub does digi-dub wrong, but the shades of acid and general vibe position them way out in leftfield of bobbins in a way that belongs in this thread imo

haven't spent enough time with this new one to know if it's as good as 'an iceberg cruising the jamaican coastline' but have spent enough time to know it's very good

Seconding the Andrea recommendation, and throwing in the ABSL album as well — inspired by sleep paralysis and yet often hitting 150bpm

The Trilogy Tapes 100th release is this Rezzett (aka Lukid) album, all done on a Casio RZ-1 I think, and it's fantastic

https://thetrilogytapes.bandcamp.com/album/meant-like-this

i did not know rezzett was lukid! the s/t LP from a few years back was awesome.

me neither! didn’t know he was Refreshers also

Similarly, I was reminded yesterday (during this great production mix on Mumdance's radio show) that Money Lang is Chevel:

https://soundcloud.com/mumdance/radio-mumdance-with-money-lang-s3-e07-12-april-2023

https://liveatrobertjohnson.bandcamp.com/album/human-behavior?from=embed

Laura BCR w/some Voices From the Lake type sounds

this is a nice one on the generative max/msp tip, but it's got some bounce to it

https://gaborlazar.bandcamp.com/album/boundary-object

^I believe that one made it on last year's ILM poll

*Another* new Rezzett release:
https://rezzett.bandcamp.com/album/boshly

(btw apparently Rezzett is actually Lukid + Tapes - https://thetrilogytapes.kudosrecords.co.uk/release/ttt100/rezzett-meant-like-this)

xp

totally possible that's where I came across it first

this one rules

https://stepballchain.bandcamp.com/album/the-ancient-truth?from=embed

thanks omar i am now obsessed with the maara album

co-sign, tremendous femme energy here

Oooh, I remember listening to a mix/live set they put up on soundcloud a few years ago that was absolutely mind-melting. Will definitely check this out.

very ready for a new k-lone album:

https://k-lone.bandcamp.com/album/swells

Also the new Karenn:
