euphoric aphex alike track from Palmbomen II
Palmbomen II - Cindy Savalashttps://soundcloud.com/timsweeney/palmbomeniicindysavalas
― djmartian, Saturday, 6 June 2015 14:25 (nine years ago) link
I'm not sure why, since I've at least passively enjoyed everything I've heard of him, but for me Palmbomen seems to almost represent the tipping point of self-consciously lo-fi nu-new-age house. I realize that singling him out is pretty arbitrary, since obviously he's hardly the first to run lo-fi house tropes into the ground, but, I dunno, he seems to be right at my particular line in the sand.
Anyhow, thanks to michael f gill for posting this in the superpitcher thread: the man in classic, 14 minute remix form:

isn't this basically the culture of the entire eastern bloc except for, like, croatia? obviously it's bad but i don't think it's particularly shocking or anything.

lol a number of people on other sites from lithuania have popped up telling people off for generalizations. they sure don't want to be seen as siding with this dude.

fwiw I saw him at Mutek last week, it was a pretty decent set, not great but not the worst
they definitely wouldn't have gotten near him had he said this shit a week earlier

a couple people I recognized from the festival had commented on his facebook page prior to all this happening thanking him for playing, several of whom are gay
obviously mr. walls here is clueless

given this dude has been touring the clubs of Europe nonstop for the last few years you would think he would have at the absolute least picked up enough social awareness to moderate his internal thoughts

one of my fav tracks of the year, a bone shaking bass rattler with a submerged dense production similar to throwing snow
the fast trigger percussion, sublimely combined with the ethereal slow-downed vocals and synths - so atmospheric

As someone much more familiar with the minimal house world than I, would you say there really is that much undiscovered stuff that he can buy like 20 records a week of undiscovered gems. I feel like that article is taking a certain amount of exaggeratory license...
Anyhow, +1 to upthread posting of Delroy Edward's "Can U Get With" EP, especially "Always (edit)"

On the one hand i doubt it, on the other hand the number of records i find where its the only release the label ever did that, or sometimes the opposite, some label with hundred of releases of garbage you'd never think about wading through and look there it is, a little cabin tucked away behind a rock

It depends on perception but I listen to a lot of mixed when working and also when helping dredge the canal to keep the flow of water even and there are a lot of great records ive no clue what they are or when they are from

Bicep - Justhttps://soundcloud.com/platform/bicep-just-boiler-room-debuts
Production-wise, the palette is strikingly non-specific, shades of tech-house in the rolling beat, a synth that sounds tactile without ever feeling retrofitted or nostalgic, and that swirling, sinister bass that never drops as much as it just broods before disappearing. In the most basic sense, this is a track that sucks the air out of the place, replacing whatever atmosphere was previously there with one of its own. Fascinating, mesmeric, and effortlessly cool.
top track of the year

including 'just,' also 'celeste' off the same ep is good, mentioned on the balearic thread

i guess the fatima track is okay too ... there's not that much stuff on the list that's actively bad ("gosh" comes to mind) just a lot of stuff that's fairly unremarkable to my ears

oh wait, even "gosh" is not that bad, i confused it for a second with the other big track off that album, uh, "loud places"?
