ehh, I think the appropriation is secondary to the fact that it's being done by someone with a history of problematic use of cultural symbols

SCG have had the 'problematic' going over from The Wire in the past decade, it wasn't that convincing iirc, one or both of the Bishops have ethered them in response, it's easily googleable

do you think a middle aged white (1/8th druze!) guy decrying political correctness counts as an ethering? they have some sense that they are always punching up due to the scene they inhabit but i am curious what idk ayesha siddiqui or someone wld make of them

Would Prostitutes fit in this thread somehow? I've gotten around to listening to this recent album and am enjoying it

The first thing I heard in this vein (thanks to this thread) was Chasing Voices' "Acidbathory" 12", and it's still my favorite thing. Love, love, love that track so much. Got quickly burned out on everything else (and I'm throwing Demdike in there too). Raime peaked with their first 12", BEB started releasing goth records, etc

Oake. With abstract female vocals, sort of like Seefeel without any warmth, played at 16 rpm.

Tarcar's EP from late last year on Blackest Ever Black is good if you're into the whole BEB thing
― paolo, Friday, 6 February 2015 12:59 (nine years ago) link
Actually everyone who reads this thread is probably into the whole BEB thing
Love that Tarcar EP. I've had a bit of a hard time getting into the Oake album, but I'm still trying. The EP grabbed me right away.
I don't know anything about D.Å.R.F.D.H.S., but I enjoy the weird, dubby, 80s death industrial meets Ekoplekz sound of "Kill All Bullies."

Did anyone listen to the Drumm/Lescaleet collaboration 'The Abyss'? On the surface it's an ambient noise thing with some quite harsh or jarring frequencies, but after a couple of listens there's definitely more to it than that. Maybe not quite as good as Lambkin & Lescaleet's 'Photographs' from a year or two ago, but well worth a look.

I want more people to like Ekoplekz. So I can talk about Ekoplekz. The new Entropik EP is two long tracks sorta named after Joey Beltram and Spacemen 3 tracks (and sort of vibing along those lines). It's on Spotify.
His instruments hiss and fizz as though they could deliver a nasty shock if improperly handled. Those bass sounds are so fucked up and dirty - in a way this is what I've always secretly wanted dub to sound like. I've always been in love with the idea of Lee Perry or King Tubby surrounded by tape equipment, wrecked'n'repaired electronics, multi-coloured wires spitting out of crust-enfilled sockets in a van or a ramshackle hut somewhere. This kind of takes it to its logical conclusion - creating true dub sounds using the studio itself as an instrument, rather than reconstructing pre-existing recordings.
This is a great descrpiption!

Yeah I'm not too bothered with titles tbh. He tends to get a bit cheesier with his EP titles.

i like the new ekoplekz ep
nb there appears to be some psytrance producer called ekoplex who i found by accident

I first heard of Ekoplekz stuff through that woebot blog, and then from a friend who was interested in synth experimentation, and finally actually heard stuff on a Mordant Music compilation. I think he codes a lot more as experimental/weird than as dub techno.
"deepchord clone" being an intriguing state since they're really kind of a flattened down version of a handful of basic channel tracks

naw i'm into dc/echospace/intrusion/et al but the list of epigonal derivatives is unending
― clouds, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 14:33 (nine years ago) link
basic channel is too elemental to listen to regularly, feel like they are more of a procrustean bed for this kind of stuff than sth to be enjoyed on their own for v long
i never get tired of this

i am so shit abt following new releases, 2013 was pretty much the last year i was keeping up and completely fell off the wagon over the past year in favor of diving into artist discogs
― clouds, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 19:16 (nine years ago) link
I keep up on nothing, I think my listening is pretty much concentrated on a few things, then I see some other things live and fall into those

I dont keep up with anything, only what i find in the woods
that remix of model 500 is ok nowhere near the original or maurizio mix
― saer, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 19:33 (nine years ago) link
ok BUT nowhere near
i think the whole remix album is wonderful, maybe the best deepchord thing outside of the linkwood "miles away" remixes.
ekoplekz not my thing at all.. i'd be down to listen to some ilm-er curated best-of, though.
