I listen to that one a lot, just not quite as impressive as some of the others listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you got me on to him around the time of the S/T release last year (which I still adore), so thrilled to repay you! These aren't quite as undeniable as that studio album was, but cool little releases nonetheless. Decompression & Harmonic Visions especially. All the tracks are good in isolation, but listening through both releases those two can't help but hog the limelight a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You heard his Pickleman alias yet?

I'm listening to it again today, totally unpretentious release (what I mean here - it's just good tunes! So many releases off warp etc these days seem to be trying to make some type of statement or something. I dunno), nice melodies and interesting beats throughout. It takes me back to 2010ish when I was just discovering the PlanetMu back catalogue. There's bits throughout that remind me of some of my other favorite artists (Notsu could be a Plaid track, Future Chaos has a DJ Shadow vibe to me, Capitol K Vibes from The Caledonian March, etc) as well. I'm happy to see so many EKTers on my list this year so far, you all make some amazing music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambermonk Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 It's been nice revisiting the AE_LIVE Cascadia sets again. And Polymer feels stronger than Plaid's LP from 2016. (I forgot the name) And new Datach'i and Oberman Knocks are around the corner, so I'm stoked about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hatchie's debut album Keepsake is a special one. Release day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cear Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Some LPs! Aleksi Perälä - Sunshine 3 (Djak-Up-Bitch (DUB)) Another great set of colundi techno/electro and a lush drony outro.Amon Tobin - Fear in a Handful of Dust (Nomark Records) Beautiful ambient record full of shimmering synths, clickity bits and grainy textures. Anderson .Paak - Ventura (Aftermath Entertainment) Perfect blend of soul/hip hop/pop.Audiosport 8 - De Diepe Wereld (Nightwind Records) Raw electro/techno/ambient tracks from Legowelt and Animistic Beliefs.Basic Rhythm - On The Threshold (Planet Mu) Grimey, bass, rigid beats. Underrated Planet Mu release, released under East Man last year (no MC’s on this latest).Bjarki - Happy Earthday (!K7) Killer braindance/idm/ambient. Less fun than his 2016 releases, but undeniably pleasing/lush either way.The Black Dog - Conspiracy Tapes RMX Destruction Day (Dust Science Recordings) Beautiful drony ambient tracks with conspiracy theorists talking over them.Caterina Barbieri - Ecstatic Computation (Editions Mego) Most blissful arpeggios in the game.Central - Om Dans (Help Recordings) Chill af house tracks.Chris Moss Acid - Channel 303 Cable 909 (Not On Label / Self-Released) ROUGH acid techno.Cosey Fanni Tutti - TUTTI (Conspiracy International) Throbbing dark industrial ambient.Cygnus - Voyager VII (Biosoft Records) Hands down the best melodic electro/techno out.DMX Krew - Glad to Be Sad (Hypercolour) Third one in the saga for Hypercolour, funky colourful melodic EDMX with crunchy drum machine electro beats. Classic.Efdemin - New Atlantis (Ostgut Ton) Incredibly mesmerizing techno record.Ekoplekz - Kirlian Visionz (Seagrave) Hazy industrial mechanoid dub tracks. Can never get bored of him.Helm - Chemical Flowers (PAN) Beautiful and eerie ambient/soundscapes.ilkae - formal format (Eerik Inpuj Sound) Classic IDMs.Jayda G - Significant Changes (Ninja Tune) Smooth and hot disco house.Lena Raine - Oneknowing (Local Action) Dreamy melodies, downtempo beats and distant vocaloid chants.The Caretaker - Everywhere, an empty bliss (History Always Favours The Winners) Mangled ballroom. Outtakes from the Everywhere At The End Of Time series. Meat Beat Manifesto - Opaque Couché (Flexidisc) Impeccable braindance record, back once again.nachtzug - aux4416 (mindcolormusic) Ideal squiggly braindance/electro.Placid Angles - First Blue Sky (Magicwire) Classic jungle/drum and bass/techno by John Beltran.Pyramids of Space - FROM AtoM (Mordant Music) Jazzy freeform space beats from Cornwall.Ras_G & The Afrikan Space Program - Dance of the Cosmos (Akashik Records) Ras G does four on the floor; lofi beats, thick basslines and housy stabs.Samuel Kerridge & Taylor Burch - The Other (Downwards) Grim sound design and ruthlessly hard beats along with some spoken word.Silk Road Assassins - State Of Ruin (Planet Mu) Tough grimy trap beats. Reminds me a lot of Kuedo’s Severant but colder and more spaced out.Sote - Parallel Persia (Diagonal) Brilliant merging of synthetic and traditional. Lightweight floating to being crushed by loads of granularly crunched up instruments.VC-118A - Inside (Delsin) Dark dubby electro/techno. Textured and well-crafted blirps and beats.Yagya - Stormur (A Strangely Isolated Place) Radiating melodical dubby techno.Yves De Mey - Exit Strategies Part 1 (Entr'acte) Mechanical soundscapes all carved out with one DSP synth, the Modor NF-1. Think Grischa, Oberman, Vainio,...Yves De Mey - Sueda (Line) Equally as fine as the other release, more layered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Will give a June 30 deadline update after the new Thom Yorke, but this Hatchie album Keepsake is incredible, a formidable late contender for Australian AOTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
