    Whatever happened to The Railway Raver?

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Yeah I saw that! Would kill to hear more from him, hopefully something else comes out of this. Label said this about that EP:

    Quote

    After We're Going Deep's third installment of contemporary (Deep) House tracks and an EP by maestro Luke Vibert the British label has compiled a new four tracker with classy tunes for your listening pleasure. The label's strength definitely is to unite different approaches to the deeper genre that all cover a similar yet not identical vibe and therefore suit multiple set times as well as they satisfy any music lover's thirst for underground artist discoveries. The label's fourth V/A comes with new music from Reedale Rise, Owain K, Polytunnel and mysterious act B.R Posse. The latter released his EP Dreaming Of The Bassline as B.R. Posse on Rephlex Records back in 1999. His LP Drop Acid Not Bombs and an EP called You'll Never Get Anywhere By Spending All Day Playing Around With That Bloody Drum Machine both were out on Rephlex too albeit under his Railway Raver moniker. So 22 years after a last release as B.R. Posse he contributes the A2 of the latest We're Going Deep EP with a cut that goes by the name of Vectrax (Part 2). With bleeps as sharp as in this track, there might be a connection to a Vectrax, a yet to be fully developed product that is supposed to eleminate mosquitos before they can transmit a disease. However, Vectrax (Part 2) basically combines sin-esque sounding bleeps with an utterly addictive nostalgic seeming lead-melody, which in no way is interrupted but completed with the beforementioned sounds. In sine-wave style the parts of melodic comprehensiveness and bleeps alternate throughout the track but never lose the artist's as well as the label's preferred and taken deep path.

    V/A - (Artificial Intelligence) 30th Anniversary Reissue - December 9, 2022

    in New & Upcoming Releases

    Posted · Edited by NI64

    This is just a personal nitpick, but what's with all of the Bleep/Warp shirts having small text on the front and the art on the back? Seems backwards to me. I could see it if there was a larger logo or something on the front, but it just seems so weird to have 90% of what's on the shirt on the back. 

    At any rate, happy to have the repress. Was really hoping for SOSW as well, but can't say I'm surprised it got skipped again.

    Been getting really into some Japanese artists lately. Rei Harakami has quickly become one of my favorites. What an incredible talent he was, just a wholly unique sound. Such a shame he died so young. Some favorites I've found:

     

    (What a wild track, just high-energy all over the place for 10 minutes)

    (I absolutely love the stretchy bass part that kicks it at 2:45 here^)

    (Probably my favorite of his remixes, super solid groove. Tanzmuzik is fantastic too)

    (His quiet contemplative pieces are so beautiful, RIP)

    Vibert wish list

    A proper release of those 'studio sessions' tracks would be sublime.  Probably really unlikely with the samples in them.

    Absolutely - I adore the Studio Sessions tracks. I love when he goes full spaced out hazy stoner mode. It'll always bug me that he says those are the tracks that the labels never want to release, because to me that's what he is unparalleled at. 

    Also if we're just making dream wish lists, a Vibert "62 Mixes for Cash" would be insane. An impossible licensing nightmare, but damn, imagine having a 8xLP monster box set of all his remixes, across all aliases, alongside bonus and unreleased content. How sick would that be?

    μ-Ziq - Magic Pony Ride

    Also late to the party, but this is excellent. Someone said it earlier in the thread, but it really comes across as a heartfelt love letter to the 90's. And with how drenched we are in nostalgia bait remake culture, that's becoming an increasingly rarer and rarer thing to find these days. Nails the feel while still sounding new and fresh. Love it!

    Glad I have all the records already anyway, will maybe pick up the Shifted Phases reissue though, only have that one on CD (with that wrong track on it).

    Are there plans to reissue that one? That and Abstract Thought (which apparently will never happen) are the two I'd really love to have.

    Went looking for a thread like this... These have aged well, and lately I've had a few nights wanting to just be in Perlence-space.  Current fav is subrange 3

    Hey thanks for reminding me I did this! Was a lot of fun to dig into at the time, and yeah, this series still ranks and one of my favorite things Ae has ever done.

    I don't believe I ever got around to making a thread on the 90101 tracks. Maybe I'll take some time and get that together too.

    Albums like Music Is Rotted One Note

    in Squarepusher

    Posted

    This came to me in a dream last night - I was listening to a mystery album and thought "This sounds just like Music Is Rotted..." But I woke up and thought about it, and not much music comes to mind for me. Definitely some Miles Davis is close, but that tends to be a lot busier and more chaotic. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions (jazz or otherwise) that capture the sort of murky, smoky, basement jam feel of this album.

    Ha, totally forgot about this!

    There's a (vinyl) promo for sale on Discogs now, including the hair baggie - 921 of your earth pounds, top investment watta deal

     

    There's something especially creepy and gross about spending top dollar for a 25 year-old lock of hair.

    Susumu Yokota/246 - Classic And Unreleased Works Pt. 1 + 2 (Cosmic Soup)

    I ordered both these! They look and sound great. Really high quality stuff. There's a remix EP on the way too, and (allegedly) some other planned represses down the line. Fingers crossed someone releases Stevia - Fruits of the Room. That's such a incredible album. 

    Also related, P-Vine Records is starting their own Yokota repress campaign with Symbol, which hadn't had a vinyl release until now. Pre-orders are up all over if you're interested. Comes out in September.
