RIP alex

Oh no, I didn't know about any of that, and hadn't seen the article when it first appeared either. Tokyo is a great track, play a lot still.

RIP Alex

where do we post funk and disco edit bobbins on ILM?

BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa ??

or the balearic thread

or this thread, who cares

sure why not :)

i'm digging the orange tree edits series, esp. the last couple releases

https://www.discogs.com/Various-Afro-Edits-Vol-3/release/10398505
https://www.discogs.com/Unknown-Artist-Eastern-Edits-Vol-1/release/11463219

Pls put disco here too!

Cool, DJI, will do.

re: the Moodymann remix of No Ufos mentioned upthread, I think the new vocals are a bummer. They sounded fine in the sample but I was let down when I got the thing in the mail. This is okay with me b/c I didn't have the original, though, and that Luciano version is surprisingly tasty.

i'm more into the vocals now than i was before!

yes they are groaningly corny ... but so are most detroit techno vocals? and so are the o.g. version vocals. so they have been growing on me.

It fell down a hole, lets try that again for all spiritual mashheads in suits

oops wrong thread took a wrong turn at ufa

good bobbins tho wrong thread or no

this one's from 2017 but i just got it in the mail:
https://www.discogs.com/Simon-Moncler-Makin-Moves/release/10438366

Yay, NO UFOS! Remix is super.

Vocals are just of the era, love it!

I might play it out tomorrow and see how the crowd reacts.

sure, report back,

ahh sorry i didn't play it last night after all. as i was forgetting there was a love theme for the night so i didn't think it'd slot in with my set. :/ i got the best reactions to older bobbins though, so maybe it would've gone over well anyway. shoot.

Check bobbins of the past thread for some great vocals from Basile Boli and Chrissy Waddle!

thanks, will do! i've been sleeping on that thread for too long

stoked i just ordered these:
http://halcyontheshop.com/jacob-korn-my-business-lets-play-house/
http://halcyontheshop.com/roza-terenzi-mwah-ep-kalahari-oyster-cult/

oh and this one, fuuuuuuck http://halcyontheshop.com/further-reductions-disparate-elements-knekelhuis/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6AsRktkj1k

I don't really know where this drifted in from, but I do know Basile Boli was unavailable for vocals this time around

Yeah, so the 15 years of the Bunker comp is pretty consistently great.

Bunker comp feels very much like a 90's techno thing to me, like microhouse or minimal never happened. Even the cover as a Tresor-style homage...

Hi bobbinsers - been lurking on this thread for the last few months, having made my first proper effort to get into techno at the end of last year (more from a DnB/UKG/dubstep background dance music wise).

Was checking out the bunker comp on iTunes and pressed the purchase button by mistake! Not regretting it though; although I generally find melodic and minimal stuff to be more accessible at this point there are some great tunes here. I guess my ideal would be a midpoint between this very deep and detailed textural stuff and the broader melodic flourishes of Kompakt.

this mix is rly doing it for me

are you aware of this thing called berghain?

Sure, but are you talking about the club or Ostgut Ton? Berghain runs a range of programmed events, increasingly so I'd say.

But sure, there is a 90s "classicism" strain, obv. If that's what you're saying...

they have a lot of special events but the main room / panoramabar bookings are still pretty much of a certain vein

there's not an official resident list I know of, but I just remembered this page where someone crunched the data: http://cdm.link/2017/05/berghain-numbers-data-worlds-relentless-techno-club/

xp yeah i was just saying - in my admittedly snarky way - that the 90s techno revival has been in full swing for at least 5-6 years now

oddly enough it doesn't have seem to have changed the fortunes of tresor the label or club much ... though maybe the principals are just old enough now they don't care to put in the effort ...

I think Tresor just keeps on grinding

yeah just at a much reduced rate!

i am very interested in picking up the SCOPEX collection they just put out ... some discussion on the electro thread awhile back

I kind of slept on it and I think the vinyl might be sold out, but maybe they'll release it digitally eventually

no vinyl is still available

Hmmm... let me put it this way, The Bunker release really reminds me of a comp I would have bought in my early 20s, or even a teenager. Not sure why that is...

And I do hear what you're saying of course. I should add I don't think that this record is a landmark release or anything, it just struck me that I hadn't posted on ILM for a while ;)

I was interested in that Dreamy Harbour Tresor collection btw, but found it a bit dull when I checked it, even sorta exhausting to listen to.

xp

hardwax has a copy anyway

lots of copies on discogs still at retail (40 EUR)

i quite liked "dreamy harbour" ... it was my going-to-bed music for awhile

Yeah, I suspect I might have to return to it. The contributing artists list alone tells me it's something I should be into.

some fire disco edits fa'ya: https://www.juno.co.uk/products/jacques-renault-favicon/677464-01/

i like the b-side on this new mr. saturday night EP, kind hippie-ish and trancey: https://www.discogs.com/Shore-A-Hundred-Times-EP/release/10914741

and i love this little boogie-funk bomb: https://www.juno.co.uk/products/unit-one-lets-all-sing-together/675376-01/

wasn't sure disco edits were allowed here, but anyway I just missed out on the latest Persie Edits 12" (005). Oh well

this one's still my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNp1PnfWQD0

Re the Scopex compilation - it's terrific and I'd never even heard of this label until I saw the review on RA.

(I don't know all that much about any electro that isn't Drexciya or one of their various side projects)

ah this is the best track out of the Zug ones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAsPJl4Ksl4

man these zug guys are good

or, this guy

Yeah, there's supposed to be a repress of those 12"s in April, gonna try to get on that

Laurel Halo was an astonishingly good DJ when I saw her a few years back, lots of Principe-style rhythmic workouts and bleepy early techno, I'm surprised she hasn't had her name attached to something like this before

love that

this Blue sublabel of Whities has been pretty solid in 2018

rave pastiche banger

this kind of thoughtless brutal techno doesn't usually excite me because we've all heard a million other things like it but this feels particularly demented the deeper into its spiralling madness it descends

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiovkRBcUzk&t=

the intro to this literally is the Ableton metronome and I want to hate it because of that but the groove is so sweaty and playful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EPPbRHUow0

the Jeff Lorber sample used by Lil Kim, sped up with added Loleatta, derivative fun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw8SUsUpeNo

growling garage that was definitely inspired by "LFO", that bass is >>>>

Nice picks!

Liking this one

what's the ableton intro one?

I dont know how I managed to fudge the link earlier - it's Mount Liberation Unlimited "Body Language (Mouth Mix)"

Only clips of the tracks on the youtube but this double 12 compilation out of Madrid is very slept on! Interesting and varied selection with top vibes and sassy insights. This one is from Javier Moreno & Canetti

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjmfTpJYT-0

Luckison, which I think is a collaboration between Mayell from Ljubljana with some other people. its well vibey mates

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWBNnnjFb7Y

it doesn't say who this is really by, but I've a £1.50 bet its a pseudonym for Kyiv playmaker io

christmas on a plate innit

in more pastoral Australian waters, not entirely clear if this track from Tim Jackiw was recorded in 90s and only just seeing light of day today

two brits go mad in berlin, its Asper Bothrops - bit of a grower this one, took hearing it out to click, but click it has!

The other side of the Luckison record that smashed the EOY poll!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGywc1_2FYM

now I think maybe this side is better

reminds me a bit of a fluffier Metamatics Meander
