Does Regis count due to the Raime split release? If so, can I mention how annoyed I am I missed out on this Sandwell District limited release? (imo sandwell district has some moments like this, but they're more mainstream as a project)

Hey, no problem.
Does Regis count due to the Raime split release?
I've only heard the Raime track/remix on the split. Would love links to anything you consider to count.
There's also a connection between the Downwards label that has been putting out Regis' records and Blackest Ever Black, home of Raime. The next release on BEB being by Tropic Of Cancer, who previously released on Downwards:

Woah, thanks for the heads up on Emptyset.
Some interesting background here... http://bassmusicblog.com/the-return-of-subtext-emptyset-and-vexd-sort
"Emptyset have their new album 'Demiurge' due in a couple of weeks and hopefully we'll get to chat to Ginz about some of the work that went into making it - I know that at one point, they took everything they had made up to that point to an unfinished stately home, played it all though a massive PA, recorded the results through vintage microphones and then mixed that live reverb back into the original tracks, which is slightly more interesting than the usual 'yeah Kev came round with some 808 samples and I put a bassline from Massive over the top'."
Subtext looks like a label to watch:

― jimitheexploder, Tuesday, 24 May 2011 10:19 (thirteen years ago) link
new Emptyset reminds me more of Hecker or Pan Sonic than anything ppl can/would go out and dance to - I do like it but it's ~cold~
everything I've read abt the Andy Stott thing sounds like it's precision-tooled to blow me away, should really go buy it I guess
― puppetry of the pulis (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 24 May 2011 10:40 (thirteen years ago) link
The Andy Stott thing is good, if bass heavy in a "you must have headphones or a home audio system that gets that deep bass" way. Then again, that's kind of an entry requirement for this thread.
Not too familiar with Emptyset yet, but I get to see them right before Mika Vainio next week. Yesssss.

Holy shit this new Emptyset album. Mencap otm, first thing I thought of was Pan Sonic. The first song (after the intro) sounds like doom metal, the way the kick distorts and delays and reverberates - could be a Southern Lord band! Well, sorta. Anyway, this rules.
― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 14:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Those guys were really cool live, and friendly when I ran into them after their show.
I realized later that telling them that they played a "great set" when their name is Emptyset is kind of silly, but oh well.
― mh, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 14:49 (thirteen years ago) link
The name Emptyset seems a bit silly because Pan Sonic's alias ø means empty set, right?
