I'm on the look out for compilations of contemporary global/outernational dance music comps such as the Enchufada Upper Cuts comp and the Sounds of Sisso comp - both of which are amazing. Any more good ones?

I'm already a little behind in listening but Fabric's in-house label Houndstooth has a compilation that'd fit this thread that's being released over a number of days on bandcamp:https://www.houndstoothlabel.com/view/in-deaths-dream-kingdom
Interesting release strategy, gives individual tracks some space for evaluation while you wait for some of the tantalizing things further down the tracklist
― mh, Thursday, 11 January 2018 15:04 (six years ago) link
I like that idea.
I do have a track on this one (*full disclosure*), but it's a free comp with a really nice range of material imo. Ambient to club bootlegs with some slippery beats and rubato percussive pieces inbetween. https://soundcloud.com/do-the-astral-plane/sets/apr-pres-new-yr-new-us-3

on the shtick front, it's both a project from someone who probably isn't who they claim, and it's on blackest ever black, so I went in with a set of expectations but was pleasantly surprised. the mixing on the percussion is doing some really cool things with depth

Dark synthpop duo MIRACLE return with their sophomore full-length and first album in over five years, The Strife Of Love In A Dream. Consisting of Steve Moore, one half of the progressive synth-rock duo Zombi and composer of contemporary horror soundtracks including The Guest and Mayhem plus vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Daniel O’Sullivan, known for his work with a myriad of art rock luminaries including Ulver, Grumbling Fur, Æthenor, Sunn O))), Guapo, Mothlite and This Is Not This Heat plus special guest drums from A.E. Paterra (Zombi, Majeure, Maserati), MIRACLE play moody, stylish, synth-driven pop that evokes vintage Depeche Mode at their most dramatic heights. Self-recorded over a four year span in London, New York and Pittsburgh and mastered by Matt Colton (Aphex Twin, Caribou, Flume) at Alchemy Mastering, London, The Strife Of Love In A Dream is an incredible display of synthpop composition, infectious arrangements and gothic lyricism that is nothing short of a modern masterpiece.

https://billygomberg.bandcamp.com/album/slight-at-that-contact
Billy Gomberg makes music that might appeal to people who like Microstoria, En, Fennesz, Nuno Canavarro, et al. It's unhinged and thick with atmosphere, drifting and droning--aural latticeworks, with unusual textures, marked depth, and odd sound events. It's also calm (at times) and meditative. His more recent work sounds darker (tonally), with add'l acoustic elements coloring the fray.

Oddly rankled by that maps snipe still.Came of noise age in the Wolf Eyes/Hair Police/Prurient era and I still like that stuff, but the angsty hyper masc white dude in black archetype is so much less of a thing now. It’s infrequent, but I still occasionally hit up warehouse/house/hip-yooth-venue electronic~dance~noise events around here in Baltimore and there’s literally almost always a super forward lgbtq, women, poc inclusive vibe, performers and audience. And if you aren’t with it your ass is out.

On the contrary, you may only stay if you're a straight white dude who can't dance at all.
In all seriousness, though, those were some fucking awful, FP-worthy posts, map. The whole 'it's alright to bully people who can't dance and/or people who like to listen to music on their own' shtick needs to die a definitive death unless you're targeting white supremacists or something. Especially since the scene under discussion is hardly lacking in diversity, as other have pointed out.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 13 October 2018 10:58 (five years ago) link
Agreed with rushomancy and pomenitul above, also want to say that 'misfit' is a perfectly fine word to describe music that isn't easily categorised and doesn't easily lend itself to a communal clubbing environment, this is all I ever imagined it to mean.

as a field report, i played a show monday night in a loft space with a bunch of experimental/noise/drone people and 1) it was super fun 2) everyone was friendly 3) music was good 4) they let me play which is a sign of inclusivity because i am a nobody 5) there was no dancing but it was very relaxing and enjoyable. not sure it would have gone down like that 15 or even 10 years ago but that is conjecture. there was no dancing but there was also no posing or assholery. just good times!
