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

if if you want a good context for a bunch of basic channel, that Scion mix is still amazinghttp://www.discogs.com/Scion-Arrange-And-Process-Basic-Channel-Tracks/release/43996

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.

This new Michael Vallera record kinda sounds like outtakes from Seefeel's "Succour" with the tempo dialed way, way down:

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)

streaming off of that Lescalleet track, another thing that reminds me of "This Foundry"

so, how about this Grebenstein release?https://boomkat.com/products/stong-proud-stupid-and-superior
― 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
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 14 December 2016 09:05 (seven years ago) link
It's one of those albums where every track sounds the same but in a good way
― paolo, Wednesday, 14 December 2016 09:17 (seven years ago) link
I loved the EPs & Quarter Turn to distraction, but somehow didn't engage with Tooth. I need to go back to it.

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.
http://woodbetweenworlds.bandcamp.com/album/sei-ci
It kind of reminds me of the electronic stuff on Sigma Editions (Parmentier and Minit specifically) through a darker lens.

this Contort Yourself label is really cool, lots of bangin industrial techno

i really like this Finding The Floor album by Profligate from a few years back.. moody industrial stuff https://www.discogs.com/Profligate-Finding-The-Floor/master/787275

New Kevin Drumm album is also very nice. https://kevindrumm.bandcamp.com/album/october-early-warning

i really want that new contort yourself 80's tape comp! but i can't be buying stuff right now. worth it just for this track alone:

this tv show on TNT, Good Behavior, keeps using Raime music as ominous soundtrack music and it’s passed cognitive dissonance into nodding to dark grooves
― mh, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 03:09 (six years ago) link
Listening to old Hecate EPs and when she wasn't going 300 bpm breakcore she kinda had a proto-this-thread thing happening. On "The Payback" w/Kareem the track "Medusal" has that clanging drums and dubby reverb thing happening.

man I should read my posts before I click it looks like I know six words
There's a lot of stuff on Kareem's Zhark label worth checking out, actually, if you like crunchy beats, dark ambient or harder industrial techno.

I had no idea! What a bummer, I loved that label.

That's a shame. They've put out some cracking stuff.

Favourite BEB release anyone?
I'd probably go for the Flaming Tunes album
― paolo, Friday, 22 November 2019 07:49 (four years ago) link
It'd be Quarter Turns Over A Living Line for me. A beast of a record.

So, farewell then Blackest Ever Black. As the label is no more I thought I'd out the fact I had a secret project on there & released a 10" & an album under the alias Tomorrow The Rain Will Fall Upwards a few years ago. I'm going to make it available as a free download next month.— Optimo (Espacio) (@JDTwitch) November 21, 2019
Well I'll be darned
― paolo, Friday, 22 November 2019 10:39 (four years ago) link
xp Quarter Turns was so good. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Carla dal Forno and the most recent Bremen album. And they reissued that Caroline K album a while back. I'm one of the few people who liked Jabu I guess.
And this!

I guess BEB slowly morphed into Low Company: https://www.lowcompany.co.uk
The shop is killer and the weekly mailouts are highly recommended.
Very strong output on the house imprint also. Particularly that Brannten Schnüre LP:https://www.discogs.com/label/1450606-Low-Company
