Currently listening to Carl Craig's More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art. Sounding as good as ever.

Keep em coming lads. Need those bpms!

Actually i'm unsure if its higher bpm i'm into or the heaviness or the sounds, its hard.

i should really pay more attention to this thread, techno fuckin rules the roost in my head lately

here's james holden's 10 minute remix of nathan fake's "sky was pink" because it's an absolute journey and one of the most compelling beat driven electronic tunes i've come across in recent years

alan nagsworth

some heavier/more atmospheric stuff i've really been digging lately:

blawan - north

shxcxchcxsh - lttlwlf

pretty sure i've banged on about shxcxchcxsh here before but honestly there's nothing more interesting in techno right now than what they do with each release in their weird fucking bubble. it's incredible.

This is excellent.

Really liked those, I think I've heard them before but not made a proper note of them.

There was a lot of that decayed industrial techno around a few years back but I lost interest after a while; these guys seem to be throwing a lot of new stuff into it though.

Fucked if I'm going to remember that name to search out more of their stuff though.

Niche boast

Dirk Jan Hanegraff from Sensurreal just sent me remastered versions of his two It's Thinking EPs via LinkedIn (lol)...vinyl presses to follow. Feast your ears on this.

Really enjoying these Blod-bombs. Cherushii, It's Thinking, Inoue Shirabe, Swiftlings etc. Also the Holden remix of the Pink Sky song and Emotinium. I can't take any of the properly banging stuff. It's all such a racket, especially all that stuff bgmnts is hopped up on right now. I even cannot imagine a version of me in another universe that could tolerate this but if I could he'd probably be living in that house Nagsworth visited

Thanks for broadening my horizons techno fans

Good stuff, we'll leave the drillcore to those loons who just want to nosebleed

I was having a conversation with someone the other day about this - i think those tunes might be the best stuff he's ever done -Neurotic Behaviour is awesome. Although At Les also still sounds amazing.

BlodwynPig

Have you heard the Objets d'art compilations in New Electronica?

Funcrusher

I'm not sure if I've heard the non CC stuff on those. I do enjoy what I've heard of Kirk DeGeorgio and the like.

Hearing them a couple of years after the fact set me on a path that has landed me in this thread. Took a decade or so to discover everything though

I agree, the first import 12" I ever bought was BFC - Evolution. His late 80's/early 90's work is spectacular.



Also bought this on the same day, still a favourite

Reminds me of this (which I've posted before)

I've been looking for this mix for years. Probably the purest acid techno experience of my life:

This album is a good companion piece to this as well:

Beautiful. Around the time BOC's BOC Maxima and High Scores came out and MHTRTC was in the pipeline. What were they having for breakfast back then

Sure i posted that up thread. Never mind, always good to reinforce.

Mesmerising bit of Chicago house/techno Boo Williams- Mortal Trance

Following Mike James & Thomas Barnett on Facebook...I think Derrick May's number may be up.

James was the guy who basically created and played the piano line on 'Strings Of Life' - he's never been paid anything in royalties for this. James was never really interested in a music career, and has instead been a journalist for the past 30 years. Anyway, he's writing a book about May, about his theft from almost everyone in Detroit, his musical incompetence.....but mainly, the depositions from women who claim that May has raped them, committed sexual assault on them and generally been a right old cunt to.

Normally you might be a bit circumspect about a lot of this, but with Thomas Barnett (who created 'Nude Photo' and has never got paid a cent), Eddie "Flashin" Fowlkes, Kevin Saunderson, Blake Baxter, Ian O'Brien and quite a lot of other Detroit techno people all going into quite some detail about either theft or musical incompetence by May, and it all seems quite believable.

I remember going to see Jeff Mills do the live soundtrack for the Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis',[nb]2002! Where has all the time gone?[/nb] now all seemed quiet as I watch from my seat perched high in the Royal Festival Hall. But after 20 minutes of sound scape music, inevitably some 4/4 kick in[nb]Around this point I believe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EAQ3gO_z30&index=4&list=PLKzRnZOQVKoXPWrBR6GgWXJ_uACea3SlH[/nb] and the drug induced audience seem to stand as one and start dancing about off their chops. It was great but also slightly surreal, and this a case of our Jeff trying to be earnest and serious but his audience not reciprocating.

That gig was hilarious - the security trying to keep people off the stage was pretty funny.

FUCKING HELL

Gorgeous sound and then THE DRUMS! (Objekt - Needle & Thread)

Get hold of Nmesh's Needle Exchange Mix (3 hours of otherworldly brilliance and this drops right in the middle)

Objekt is amazing, one of the best producers of the last decade. Can do the intricate chinstroking sound-design thing better than almost anyone (I think he also works as a music software programmer) but also comes up with these skewed club bass whoppers.

I like this track 'Aperture' by State Azure:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPiz6pkHbHo

The State Azure channel has a lot of good stuff, mostly ambient / noodly pieces. Some great gear porn in the videos too.
