Rephlex please recommend me some new music

[ganus]

I don't know if it's okay to make a thread like this, but I haven't had a new musical discovery for at least almost year, and I'm getting a bit desperate to find some new stuff.

 

I really like:

music with a sense of humor

cute melodies

australians

funk

160-180 bpm

originality

artist likeability

lo-fi

cut-up

 

 

I don't like:

repetition

dick waggling

pretention

electric guitar solos

overuse of glitch

things that are supposed to sound super "gritty" (distortion is ok with me though)

 

 

I love, but have absolutely worn out acid.

I am extremely well versed in breakcore, and things published on rephlex, so I don't need more of either of those.

 

I want to know more drum n bass.

I want to find more ambient like The Caretaker.

I want more cut-up like this

I want more folktronica like Silje Nes and Bogdan's MyLoveILove

I want anything that's batshit crazy, genre breaking, and unique, like candie hank, goodiepal, and nero's day at disneyland

 

and more than anything, I am totally open to new things.

 

plz help

caretaker did some really nice things under his own name this year in case you've missed it

can also recommend grouper's first album "way their crept" for some ghostly escapist ambient

Trust me, I've loved this album to bits since the first time I heard it in like 2007. It was my introduction to EOD, Chevron and a few others, and when I heard it I already loved 7u?, Shitmat, and Toecutter. I wish there was anything else like it. I have the "Whatever!" and "Etc" comps from wrong music, which have a lot of the same people, but they aren't nearly as good.

I do not think that the caretaker is either pretentious or overly repetitious, and I am familiar with Leyland Kirby and all of V/VM's other work as well.

 

I will definitely check out "Way Their Crept". thanks for that

In the same realm as The Caretaker:

All I care about is it being new to me.

[vamos scorcho]

I know some good drum and bass that I've been listening to very much recently. You probably already know it. Also, it's more of the repetitive original style but it's good.

really try and hunt down the Noodles Death of Cool comp by Si Begg, its all good if you want silly

Anti-pretentiousness and pro-Goodiepal might just be a huge contradiction!

 

And don't get me wrong - I love the Parl!

[ganus]

I don't know, to me it seems more like Goodiepal is not pretentious, but incredibly eccentric (aka crazy) and a great troll. I mean, I don't think he released a track of him whistling "My Heart Will Go On" and honestly considered it to be a great work of radical computer music. Any way about it, I do love him.

Do you listen to Ceephax?

also,

 

if you wan't to get into more drum and bass, here is a good start...

http://www.discogs.c.../release/183739

 

Also, anything on Suburban Base records between 93 and 96 should be good. You should also look into Rewind Records, Technical Itch, Remarc, Bizzy B, DJ Zinc & DJ Hype (Ganja Records), Marvelous Cain and Congo Natty.

 

Have a look here... http://goldenerajung...-files/news.php

 

Log in and check out:

 

"Syndicated" - Mystical Influence

"Urban Jungle" - DJ 3D

"Agent Orange" - Dr Groo

"Think Twice" - Phantom 45

"Reminiscence of a Rudeboy" - Curious?

"Jungle Book Vol 1" - DJ 3D

 

You can download all of them and more.

 

Other DJs you should look into are Dextrous, Kenny Ken, Brockie, DJ Hype, DJ Zinc, R.A.W. and Timestretch.

 

Most jungle/dnb was best between 93-96. Technical Itch, however, was good up until he recently switched to dubstep.

[ganus]

Do you listen to Ceephax?

I made my girlfriend drive me for 4 hours to Chicago so I could see him live. (she enjoyed it too so I wasn't being a dick)

anyway, basically, yes x10.

lovely. I am actually pretty familiar with the golden era dnb & jungle stuff, and have a good collection of it. DJ Zinc, Technical Itch, and site are all great tip-offs though and I have to investigate further.

 

When I said I want to know more drum n bass, I was thinking about stuff like dgoHn, because I've only heard little bits of that type of drum n bass, and it intrigues me. For a long time before I discovered the old school stuff, I wouldn't listen to any dnb because all I had heard was like, Dom & Roland and other ultra dramatic stuff with no real musicality.

Yeah, I agree with you - though I largely interpret anyone who puts a 500 kronor bill inside every copy of a vinyl LP with no music on it to be just a *little* pretentious. And honestly, that's okay - some of the greatest artists in history were pretentious because they knew just how great they were. And, as Mr. Wonka once said...
