this was one of my favorites from last year and I don't think I saw it posted here or on watmm. Chain Reaction meets rave put through vaporwave filters because it's made by a kid born in 1999 (!) I think the CD even came in a metal tin. Lots of fun with some great builds and emotions.

 

What a world it is.... 

This one is a lot of fun, thanks for the recommendation!

This whole damn thing, best BoC-adjacent artist I've heard; Deep understanding of all the subtleties and nuances of the aesthetic whilst putting his own spin on it:

Ok...here we go. I listened to a lot this year, but these are some ones without many mentions that have risen to the top.

My albums/eps/releases of the year 2021:

Priori - Your Own Power

Modern, psychedelic take on early 90s trance tunes.  Think Sun Electric meets Namlook's Air series.

Healion - In Light, It Undoes Nothing

Another appearance from Francis Latreille aka Priori - this time as a collab with Ex-Terrestrial.  Crazy rhythms meets the warm pads of both of their individual works.  

36 and Awakened Souls - The Other Side of Darkness

Epic collab between 36 and the husband/wife duo of James and Cynthia Bernard.  This one got me kept me grounded over a really tough stretch of time after it came out.  

Trichome - Mind Body Complexing

Subterranean electro a la Phonecia's Brown Out.  So many repeat plays for this one.  Also check out his many jam sessions available on his Soundcloud.

Tangents - Timeslips & Chimeras

Chilled out jazzy post-rockish fusion from a super talented group of guys.  Fans of Tortoise take note.

downtairs J - basement, etc

Highly impressive debut of dubbed out 90s homages.  Also let me to discover his incredible beat tapes under the name of Snacs.  

not even noticed - Muted Noises

Maybe my favorite new artist of the year for me.  This coupled with his Neophyta ep make for some of the most lush breakbeat based tracks I've heard in awhile.  They also have an album on the way on Dec. 31st!

Mike Shannon - Cygnus Sutra

Jazzy deep techno from one of the most underrated producers of the past 20 years.

Martinou - Rift

Really epic minimal journey perfect for late evening bike rides.  Thanks to @species8472for this rec (among others). 

Eomac - Cracks

His best album (including the Lakker stuff) in my opinion.  Banger after banger on here, but still flows so well as a whole.

Humanoid - 7 Songs (bonus edition)

These 14 tracks are some of the best acid tracks I've ever heard.  Love this pared back sound compared to the last album of his. 

Simon Pyke - Motion #1

I will never not love Simon's music.  This new ep hearkens back to some of his later Freeform-era productions.  So good. So fun.

Christoph de Babalon - 044 (Hilf Dir Selbst!)

"Cool Priest" is my anthem.  Whole ep slaps though.

TM404 - Syra

Never heard acid so tripped out.  Right up my alley.

Bigeneric - Helva

My AOTY.  Magical moments from deep in the Alps.

 

We’re well into 2022 and making the most of a quiet period, appreciate this sweet recommendation. Never heard of TM404 before (I think) and enjoyed this. ‘spesh Drumati, Oxfor and Roofto. Nice work.

species8472 and dcom next. Then chill.

I hope you guys won't mind the bump : I can't find the thread about my EP [~], which has been mentionned a few times in that very topic.
It was released a year ago now and, as a thank you and a closure (for me), I'm giving away 100 redeem codes to grab it for free. So here they are :
