Yeah I'm not too bothered with titles tbh. He tends to get a bit cheesier with his EP titles.

Ekoplekz is the artist name of Nick Edwards, a 44-year-old property developer from Bristol

was expecting frankly another deepchord clone; was not expecting him to sound like early conrad schnitzler

i like the new ekoplekz ep
nb there appears to be some psytrance producer called ekoplex who i found by accident

― nakhchivan, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 14:09 (eight years ago) link
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 (eight 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 (eight 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 (eight 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 (eight 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.

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

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 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

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.
