imminent loop-techno revival

I hope I haven't come off as snarky or dismissive (it's not really my prerogative to call out people on their motivations, etc.).

I think my less than favourable stance on the matter probably comes from experience with blogs like mnml ssgs, who have been championing this sound for years. Unfortunately the attitude and criticism that comes with their championing is something I have found very off putting. Nevertheless, they've been doing a lot to document this sound over the last while.

hey, your posts are always worthwhile and far from snark EDB

I think there is nothing 'imminent; about it, there is a lot of loop techno here already - ben klock, new ruskin stuff. even artists like cosmin trg's music is very loopy. you could say all techno is loopy because it's so repetitive:)

agreed, but I'm talking specifically about the stuff coming out lately that references Axis, Tresor, Downwards, Djax Up Beats, the Advent, Counterbalance, Blueprint, Planetary Funk Vol 1 - 5 etc etc. harsh, noisy, and much harder than Ben Klock and the Ostgut/Berghain affiliated producers. I should've chosen a more explanatory thread title, sorry

nah it makes perfect sense, "all techno is loopy" sheesh

i'm waiting for the producer that credibly references late period loop techno - stuff like ben sims and the swedish tribal crew.

missingNO - some of Dettmann and Nodge's stuff, the harder releases, are very like the Lost/Cosmic records of the late 90s, which were very loopy and abrasive. worth a listen (the Lost stuff I mean). forward strategy group are making harsh loopy techno, a lot of it is very good. also, for tough techno, try the mantrap label, only a few releases, but influenced by pacou/landstrumm (techno period)/ harder tresor etc.

ancient methods :D

luke slater is the link between hard loop techno & ostgut. the last planetary assault systems' album was really good

^^ cosign

fwiw Planetary Assault Systems live this spring was some of the best techno I've ever witnessed

I am way behind on this stuff despite it being a hueg building block for me having an interest in dance music but I boned up on Ancient Methods after Surgeon put them on his Fabric mix and they seem like they're doing something pretty special

The Stroboscopic Artefacts "Monad" series is really strong and consistent, meaty stuff. What's current and excellent in a similar way?

I like this thread! I'm completely clueless about techno, I just know I like it a million times more than other dance genres. I've totally been wanting to find some badass stripped down minimalist cyborg techno and some of this stuff almost sounds like the music I hear in my imagination. More please! Full length cd recommendations for instrumental albums that aren't various artist comps would be massively appreciated!

I love this Mr. James Barth album.

Ben Sim's Smoke & Mirrors is great. Haven't seen any talk of it here. A really solid first album. One of my top ones of the year.

damn mr james barth. fucking love this.

not so much, hey?

yeah but it doesn't sound like swedish loop techno, it sounds like industrial millsian stuff and old neil landstrumm / cristian vogel / black country techno

actually i see that like the first time i checked this thread i misinterpreted loop techno to mean like classic adam beyer material and not perc trax etc

is that a melody in the bassline? was that a breakdown? gtfo

^^ gets so brutal around 2 minutes

but not loop techno

it just sounds so low-energy and sloggy though compared to

and i can't find trevor rockcliffe's sound called house but this last track kinda exhausts the genre which is the problem with tribal loop techno

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BksEBHJDco

i mean six good trakcs is six good trakcs but there were literally like six hundred drumcell / primate / etc tracks floating around at one point around 99-01

brutal disco parps and easy filters

i'll spare you samuel sessions

Thank fuck.

But some great techno there late great. :D

Damn, you slip in the Samuel anyway, lol. Reese baselines almost always a win though, so I'll give him a pass on that one.

thread title aside, this was the only one that came up when I searched for stroboscopic artefacts

what should I be listening to in this vein? I saw kangding ray live and he was excellent
