lol i tried to get into this but it sounds like a mess to me, not in a good way. they're pretty hit or miss for me. i like "food of love" with dj sprinkles but even that one gets a little turgid imo.

a few recent things I've been enjoying:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF05y29GqnU
Midland - You Never Take Me Dancing - square synths and crisp percussion, feels like a better take on the lumpy kind of Daniel Avery/later-era Tiga sound
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS1Qmx7LhQM
I.JORDAN & Planningtorock - TNB (Night Version) - the hard house revival continues, but with enough strangeness to feel more than a pastiche
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4upjGRiCu6g
James Curd - I Am One, I Am Many (Adelphi Music Factory Remix) - nu-disco goes big-room house
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3a3fDaG4io
Tino - Work My Body - yes we've all heard many tracks that sound like 1989 with this exact vocal but this is really well-executed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4FFwYQVIGk
Matias Aguayo - El Camaron (DJ Babatr Remix) - big percussive propulsive energy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNFo1DV8YDY
Elkka - DJ Friendly - massive madness that's not pretending to be anything other than big dumb fun
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 18 November 2023 12:54 (five months ago) link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgJx0XbA-pcDAPHNI - Cloudy (Kelbin Remix) (that's Dan Snaith)

https://rhyw.bandcamp.com/album/mister-melt
This is pretty cool, electro around 140 BPM that reminds me of early "Croydon techno" style dubstep like early Benga, Artwork, and Skream.
I have endless amounts of time for electro that blends with UK bass stuff.
Also I strongly suspect he used an AI model called Musika for the title track's hooks, I did the same thing on an EP last year and it sounds really familiar. Although mine was nowhere near as good.
https://grrlmusic.bandcamp.com/album/honeybee
This title track is absolutely bonkers, like UK Bass music with a heavy Justice/French electro feeling, abrasive like some of the more out there mainstream EDM but super interesting sound design.
https://loif.bandcamp.com/album/plunge
Deep aquatic electro that surprisingly really doesn't sound like Drexciya, honestly it's got a bit of an Aussie psy trance vibe to me, or maybe something like Midi Milliz?

brand new from one of my favourite producers of late, Lindsey Wang aka Polygonia - twitchy techno with a good ear for colourful melody often of a very chinese flavour, all her stuff is gold tbh

Oh I missed that post - how was she?
― Bernard Quidbins (NickB), Sunday, 18 February 2024 16:26 (two months ago) link
Well, annoyingly about 2 days before the night they cut off half the acts, which took away most people we wanted to see, including Tia Cousins and Jaye Ward… and stuck Pokygonia on at the start of the night, so we missed most of her set and the part we saw we were in the start-of-the-night zone so weren’t really focussing much. She was DJing rather than live and it seemed OK but the venue also had that annoying thing where the volume was low because they were building it up, so all in all no comment!

just done a quick raid on the apartment records back catalogue. the last thing they put out was the debut belacqua EP - some great wonky, wheels-just-about-to-fall-off techno, first track on it is this which is somewhere between the fall and the young gods 'did u miss me?':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHE7_rhAH00Belacqua - Gunnish (Original Mix)
― Bernard Quidbins (NickB), Sunday, 25 February 2024 19:28 (two months ago) link
Yeah it’s a really fun track that one!
I like Apartment Records a lot. Kenny Hanlon is a very enjoyable DJ too if you ever get the chance to hear him play.

I wont tell where the sample comes from because I doubt it’s cleared and I don’t want to get him in trouble but I’ll say it comes from one of the coolest children’s cartoons ever.

I am listening to a new XDB mix and a new Chez Damier track, “Do It” is giving me warm, chunky, 90s vibes.
No YouTube clips up as yet, but it is at 1h25m on the mix.
