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 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

they're doing some sort of showcase at this festival in boulder, colorado. thought about going. charles cohen also playing.

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
― mh, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 19:24 (nine years ago) link
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.

that elemental quality of basic channel is exactly what makes them so endlessly listenable

New Ekoplekz is kinda early-IDM sounding and I'm finding it less interesting tbh. Bring back lo-fi retrofuturisms.
Digging this though

"Charity" sounds like a low-tech 1980 remix of a Cabaret Voltaire song from 2x45.

Raime's new album is very good. It's by no means dance music but it reminds me a lot of the most stripped back dread UK dance tracks of the last 25 years

New Kaumwald EP is pretty cool, definitely Opal Tapes-appropriate (scudding beats, uneasy ambiance, lots of subtle weird touches you only notice on headphones)

― mh 😏, Tuesday, 1 November 2016 14:37 (seven years ago) link
I like Grebenstein. I'm not too sure about this new Raime, though, it sounds like a tribute to Photek circa The Hidden Camera. In fact it just makes me want to listen to The Hidden Camera.

i've been loving the raime album so much this winter (after initially dismissing it). play it almost every morning

I think I posted this Rorqual album on another thread, but it's probably worth sharing here for it's creeping, oozy ambience with occasional leaden beats.

It kind of reminds me of the electronic stuff on Sigma Editions (Parmentier and Minit specifically) through a darker lens.
