yeah artwork on this entire reissue series is abysmal

idiots / inheritors are both amazing. even when he was doing the “cheesy melodic trance” stuff back in the day his tunes were the best. horizons is a beast!

this is good!

damn.

florian t m zeisig had some wonderful releases this year. he continues to impress. the NUG collab with PVAS is one of my favourite things for sure. and another collab album with forest management as unt is really interesting and deep. ben kaczor was definitely my favourite discovery this year. just love this style of hypnotic expressive techno. prefer the first of his 2 albums this year but the followup on dial is restrained and sprawling. both amazing. 3 slabs of straight dubby greatness. sa pa is buy on sight for me and this collab with deadbeat is just dope. also released a new ep on a label out of bristol. deepness. ambient loopy dubbyness from the head of the peak oil label. the 3xl / motion ward / west mineral crew as always had some great releases. always spaced and smudgy and out there. deep lushness for the burial heads who are tired of burial kind of sucking. romance album really does hit. its saccharine but in a good way. and the malibu album got a lot of plays from me. just general gooeyness to bask in. skee mask dropped 2 albums of odds and ends. such a good talent. peak oil label on point this year. the topdown reissue is sublime and the paperclip minimiser album is a treat. some solid full lengths from the big boys. really enjoyed this seb wildblood full length. nothing fancy. just good vibes. fracture doing the jungle pirate radio thing. as always dj python had some nice releases. especially the luis release on AD93. some eps. gi gi is a fantastic new artist. firescope released a couple beauts. other things i enjoyed.

damn JPP263 is a tune

of course. just trying to find some time between work parenting and the holiday season!

love all these bandcamp embeds. working on my list. @cern also love that evigt morker album. his traditional techno stuff is ace too.

yeah it’s really good. very impressed. feel like this will get lost in the end of the year shuffle but should definitely not be overlooked.

cool new full length on youth. deep electronic atmospherics. too lazy to come up with a creative way to describe it. boomkat say: In advance of their first (and probably last) show at YOUTH's Cafe Oto showcase this week, Yugen Disciple returns with a rugged debut album of noctilucent greyscale hues and post-UKG mechanisms primed for heads into Shinichi Atobe, SND, Demdike Stare.

this is ridiculously good. and the new digitals sound amazing.

there’s a nice vinyl reissue of whistleblower incoming btw https://www.anost.net/release/B260/vladislav-delay%2fwhistleblower

looking forward to checking this out!

nice dubby/ambient chain reactiony vibes from canadian producer. fits nicely on motion ward. previous release on NAFF (prioris label) is great too.

new project/album/mixtape from fracture. i am by no means a jungle expert - but am really enjoying this. nicely realized art/execution/idea. been rocking the mix - its an extra track added to the album on bandcamp.

first album was cool. that was a long time ago. knife/fever ray are overrated. and the associated imagery and aesthetic these day is just plain ugly.

another new collab album featuring Florian T M Zeisig - who is definitely one to watch. really deep dubby greatness. digitals are real cheap. he also released a collab album on 3xl with PVAS recently as NUG. ambient jungle wonderfulness. both great!

this is nice stuff from a newcomer to kick off the return of jonah sharp's reflective records. "Reflective Records reopens its catalog with the "Every Moment" E.P., the debut release by Cahl Sel. This homegrown San Francisco artist has been playing live in California with a minimal hardware rig for the past few years and these four tracks reflect his beat driven but melody-led sound. This limited release features the last of the original hologram die-cut center stickers from the 1990's."

wonderful

just so damn good. hessle still killing after all these years.

deepchord conspiracies

quite enjoying this

another new full length from ben kaczor after this years also amazing "sun chapter one". this is a nice long one on dial records which is a nice fit. def has that dial sound. deep stuff. love this guy.

lush hypnotic techno from new london label "E2-E8" releasing some interesting stuff. check their bandcamp. also includes a lush ass marco shuttle remix definitely worth checking out.
