  1. I've been living in Asia for over ten years now and the pop music people actually listen to doesn't use non 12-tone tunings. Anybody that's really concerned about "colonialism" in music first needs to go after the US major labels and their insidious marketing.
  2. I've been toying with the idea of building a new releases notification service for a while now. It seems like no matter how many newsletters & new release feeds I sign up for I miss new stuff from artists & labels I like. I prefer not to get too involved with social media but it does seem like one of the more reliable ways of keeping on top of new stuff.
  3. Interesting interview too: https://www.detritus.net/wobbly/saganantiarkinterview.html
  4. This is chaotic but fun stuff from some SF Bay Area scene veterans. Some nice sound design here.
  5. They're even digging in deeper on twitter: What are some other good sources for new releases? I'm pretty fed up with their hipster pretentions.
  6. Sorry I should have posted this in general discussion not new releases.
  7. Not to mention a lot of great trans artists. Do we need to put people in buckets?
  8. It seems like describing particular styles or techniques as masculine or feminine isn't useful and just serves to create boundaries. Why not use terms like noisy or busy or aggressive instead? One of the best developments of recent years or is that women are much more involved in all styles of electronic music and making some great records, some of them very abrasive and aggressive.
  9. The idea that there's such a thing as masculine sound design and, by implication, feminine sound design seems sexist to me and harmful and limiting to musicians of all genders.
  10. There are loads of women making electronic music these days with strong, agressive beats. Why does this have to be yet another gender identity thing?
  11. Atol Scrap is a classic. Definitely recommended. Arovane has been doing some great music lately too.
  12. "'Atol Scrap' is still one of the most perfect specimins of an era we'd rather forget. Imagine vintage Autechre clatterbeats assembled with a bassy dub techno mentality and daubed with faint, hazed ambient textures = seriously next level, era-defining biz. It's fair to say that for the most part, IDM hasn't aged well. When it worked, its sounds were absorbed into more forgiving structures (hello trap and grime) and when it didn't, the mess of overly masculine sound design and underwhelming cycling non-melodies irritated more than they impressed, inching closer to history's trashcan with each passing year. " Like most genres predicated on sounding futuristic classic IDM definitely shows its age. But there's no reason we need to forget it and it doesn't have anything to do with masculinity. And for sure Trap & Grime are not aging any better.
  13. Kudos to him for having the courage to take a stand and keep his new music off streaming services. I think his other comments explain why I'm not liking this one as much as his previous work though:
  14. Here's a few recent ones. I don't claim they're amazing but I'll do cover art for free. ?
  15. Ok here's some random examples: https://photos.app.goo.gl/c2ZhmM4NkGmPSiaV9 If you have a particular style you like I can try to emulate it. I don't claim to have any exceptional skills in this department but I see a lot of stuff on bandcamp that could use better cover art.
  16. I'll put a few together.
  17. I've been dabbling around in various digital art styles lately and I've been having a lot of fun with it even though I'm very much an amateur. Anyway, if you have stuff you want to release and need cover art for it I'm happy to take a crack at it if you can give me some idea of what you're looking for. It's just for fun and I won't be offended if you don't like my ideas.
  18. I've been listening to this one a lot. One of the better ambient releases in recent memory for sure.
  19. Track 5 lays on the cheese a bit too much for my tastes but the more aggro tracks on here are great.
  20. Yeah for whatever reason it’s one synthesis method that doesn’t seem that popular outside of this subgenre. It can sound wicked in capable hands though.
  21. This is more what I was hoping that last Gabor Lazar album would sound like.
