Proper uplifting techno from The Third Man on
Applied Rhythmic Technology Dance Division. This is what I need right now, trance like chord progression.
Taken from
Traut's Music From The Basement series. Very good all round.
Really unique track this one by
Thomas Brinkmann.
Ok, time for a few more lists.

I'd Rather Be Fat Than Be Confused Top 10 ambient/experimental/drone albums of the year.
1. Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Love Is A Stream (Type)A beautiful mess of static waves, magical and strangely beautiful. An album that finally gave this man's solo pursuits the attention they have long since deserved.
2. The Fun Years - God Was Like, No (Barge)All too many bands have failed to follow up killer albums, and due to my own imperfections I almost always overly build up my anticipation of any new album from a band that I love as much as the Fun Years.
With God Was Like, No, The Fun Years did not disappoint. Nothing was too new but their own brand of gentle ambience mixed with the soft crackle of static is near enough perfect to reaffirm the old statement, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
3. Eleh - Location Momentum (Touch)At times no more than the hum of machinery left on standby, yet strangely fascinating, less was certainly more for the majority of this album. It carried the same kind of ability as Phill Niblock or Saito Koji of being able to evolve very slowly and yet never lose the listeners interest.
4. Counterspark - The Halpern Experiment (Resting Bell) Free downloadIn a year when my drone/experimental needs were mostly spent in anticipation of the release of the latest album by The Fun Years, which seemed to be put back month after month, Counterspark did a more than admirable job in catering for my needs with an album, a free one at that of sublime, warm and welcoming drones, not a million miles from The Fun Years, that begged to be listened to on headphones and played again and again.
5. Frank Bretschneider - EXP (Raster Noton)A new name to me but one I won't be forgetting in a hurry. Delightful miniatures of clicks, beats and sine waves. This won't be to everyone's taste, the songs are songs within songs but from 1:50 of "mass, blue: aluminate, ventilator" through to the end of "Lightweight, Satellite" four songs later, it simply went from strength to strength.
If you even remotely like this then you will absolutely adore his better still 2007 album rhythm.
6. Taylor Deupree - Snow (Dusk, Dawn) (12k)I'm still waiting for his long player Shoals, also from this year, to sink in. However the preceding single track to the album, Snow (Dusk, Dawn) was an instant hit, maybe bettering my favourite Deupree moment to date, that being Weather and Worn. 16 minutes of snow falling, crackling ambient elegance that was not a second too long.
7. Eluvium - Static Nocturne (Watership Sounds)I rarely have the patience to sit through a single track that clocks in at almost hour, even albums that last that long rarely capture my attention for their entire length, but then it a rare case that the quality is this high. I'd long since been a fan of Eluviums crisp piano opuses that I'd pretty much ignored his more experimental side, that being until I discovered Zerthis earlier this year. Static Nocturne takes a similar approach, as the title would suggest an instrumental compostion, dreamy and pensive in sound and full to the brim with wonderful wonderful static.
8. ibreathefur - Every Day You Look Different (Under The Spire)The Under The Spire lable seemed to take a back seat this year, or at least avoid the limelight it was given upon its launch in 2009, still the continued to fire out some great, sadly for th most case critically ignored, records.
The pick of the bunch was ibreathefur's Every Day You Look Different. Four songs of crunchy ambience and decay that were neither too long nor too short, basically, just right. Certainly an artist capable worth keeping an eye on.
9. Roll The Dice - Roll The DiceWhilst everyone got excited about Emeralds new sound and Oneohtrix Point Nevers never ending list of releases, dropping the word "Kosmiche" into every sentence, very few bands of such a trend really impressed me. Maybe the aforementioned artists albums will hit me next year like Jacaszek's Treny took a long long time to register.
I was however completely won over by the collaboration of Swedes Peder Mannerfelt and Malcolm Pardon, namely Roll the Dice, from the opening Arpeggios of The New Black, it was evident that their sound was filled with nostalgia and this is something that they delivered with great expertise. Axee and the aforementioned The New Black stand out.
10. BvDub - The Art of Dying AloneBvDub cemented his place in my heart last year topping my album of the year charts with both We Were The Sun and the much underrated A Prayer to False Gods.
This years not so positively entitled The Art of Dying Alone only served to further strengthen the already sturdy foundations. Nothing massively new except perhaps the more prominent presence of fragments of wordless vocals, particularly on the beautiful 19 minutes that are the closing eponymous track. A prime example of how beauty can be strectched out into near perfection. Truly Epic.
Also,
The Alainfinkielkrautrock Poll 2010 is good.Still got mine and another couple to come.
27 December 2010
I chose this not for blatant self promotion purposes (we sold out ages ago and we ain't going to repress it) But more because I enjoyed the whole process of making it. Brun is such a good mate of mine, but we hardly ever get to hang out - this was the perfect excuse to have lunch and go and see John at Loud Mastering to attend the cut. Unfortunately we had to get the record made three(!) times in the end to get it right, but Its something I'm keen to do again. Independent all the way, not a P&D. (look out for Mudkid & MJC vinyl soon. ish)
2) Tunng Live in Bristol
I have been speaking to Mike for a while now (keeping it casual, but I am a massive Tunng fan) I was supposed to go and see them with my partner but I left it too late to get tickets. Gutting. So we went out for a walk in the freezing rain at the opposite end of the Westcountry and Mike suddenly rang and said we could have two tickets that some bigwig record exec had dropped. bonus. Much driving later we got there in time to see the show. And it was fantastic.
The ultimate holiday LP. This makes the list for reminding me of the last days of summer, and about the most perfect days surfing i've ever had. 10ft, clean and scary/beautiful in equal measure. Evenings spent chillin' to this in a crappy caravan - eating pizza & supping fine wine. Never take your eye off of Ry. He got the chops, If you've never heard this hunt it down.
4) Mount Kimbie / James Blake - (just play any of it)
These guys can do no wrong for me. Beautifully crafted music that has emotion as well as outstanding studio style and finish. I have been playing plenty of their stuff on the GCW shows. It is so good to see proper underground producers having real success. Long may they continue to drop it like this. It just gets better & better.
Danny is a fine producer, and totally approachable. I think he is well under rated, and I put his stuff up there with the best of them. Not as 'dj famous bastard' as he could be, probably because he has no edge and just puts it out there, no bullshit.
As for Mr Sei A, I understand he is well rated (I don't know who is and who isnt, I leave all that stuff to Jamie, my radio partner in crime, he loves all that) I just know that I met him at Fabric one night, and we took the piss/took pity on a girl that looked like Robert Smith and kept falling over. This song just works. Played it outside under the stars, and inside at weird parties and it makes people smile/weep every time.
House Music that reminds me of Prince. That's a win win. In fact, Prince should remove his head from his ass and get Mr Teej in to produce his next album. This is a fantastic track that makes me smile and want to give it a bit of dad dancing in the corner (no lights on if possible, leave me to shuffle round in the fag ends - cheers)
You may have noticed by now that I like a Vocal. But its got to say something, not just bleat on about lost love, or booty shakin. The vocalist has got to MEAN what they are saying. This does that in all the right places. My Soul also weighs 1000Ibs...
(You can't just play vocals all night mind, you got to build up to it. I can spend four hours playing music to get me to the right point to play this. If you know what I mean)
So this is a record that I've only just heard.
I got hold of the craziness that is Tim (Discreet Unit) this summer. Having never met the dude before I invited him to play at one of our not strictly legal beach parties. he rocked up to find a Soundsystem not yet set up, and a group of Polish men shouting at him to turn the music on! He dutifully helped in the rig up and got on with it, no ego involved bless him. Other high lights of the night were said poles along with Mr Slater trying to blow his car up by managing to create a river of burning petrol on the dance floor. Anyway, I've seen him since and I blagged this record out of him after hearing Moodymann play it in that set he did in Manchester. I love anything that keeps the Westcountry love alive. Even if he is taking the piss!
This is such an unashamed concept album, and that alone makes it worth a listen. Its minimal (as in stripped back, not as in 'I've got loads of gear but don't really know how to use it) and beautiful, and unsettling and stands repeated listens (I hammered it for 2 weeks straight and didn't really listen to much else - and I still love it, that's RARE) plenty of people make oddball field recordings, plenty of people make 'minimal' but to get them to work together without sounding like pretentious shite is a clever trick.
Well put together Dub with something to say will always get traction with me. Aus Music have been solid this year, and this is the pick of the crop. Its a pleasure to see a label putting out music that not only crosses genres, but does so without compromising on the quality of any of it. I don't know how this went down in general, but it struck a note with me.
GCW
Great stuff. More to come.

Crazy techno from the
34th Pom Pom.
Brilliant ambient techno drone by
TV Victor.

Michael CroweThis is the best mix i've heard in quite a while. It's from the
Blackest Ever Black label, and as the name suggests it's a pretty dark affair. The labels aim is to "re-establish electronic music as a poetic, provocative and emotionally inquisitive force", and they are certainly on the road to accomplishing that.
ASB
This was a pretty creepy techno track from earlier on this year by
Confetti Bomb. Weird goodness.
Sex Tags Mania number 16.
Unknown Artist - XI. Absolute killer.
9 December 2010
This is a new
Shadow Cabinet track from their upcoming Western Approaches EP. A superb and and rather spooky 8 minute ever intensifying synthesiser workout. Recommended if you like
Mondkopf.
5 December 2010
I've got bit of label love to give now for
Future Times. Releasing great music by
Beautiful Swimmers,
Maximillion Dunbar,
Protect-U and
most recently Slava. Below is a super dense version of an upcoming Protect-U release and a few prized choices from the Discovery Channel on the
Future Times website.

A couple of tracks off what is possibly my favourite house compilation of the year, that of
Dairmount for the
Perspectives 04 compilation on
Room With A View. 2010 epitomised
16 November 2010
Mike Dehnert certainly keeps it unforgiving as is usually custom with his tracks, but on this track taken from
The Many Roots EP he adds in this quite natural element that really complements his hard hitting beats in a special way.
Trippy techno from
Frank Kusserow on Dave Clarke's White Noise label.
Superb modern house music by Austrian
Roman Rauch. Out on the ever reliable
Tjumy Records.
7 November 2010

It doesn't get much better than this in terms of full on balearic psychedelia.
Pacific Horizons have just followed up Universal Horizons with a new 12" entitled
The Forest Electric.
31 October 2010
As previously hinted at,
Kenton Slash Demon's new release on
Tartelet is equally as infectious as their last. Superb. The release also features a top remix by Runaway.
New on
Supplement Facts is this understated tech house nugget by
Simon Garcia. Out of nowhere it becomes something really quite special.
Great debut on
Composite Records by the Portuguese
Tiago Fragateiro. Justin Timberlake lyrics continue to be in vogue.
Michael J Collins continues to excel, this time with an eerie chugalong.

Olivia VerdugoDug this one out from
Midnight Mike, pure catchy pop loops.
Darker business from
Syncom Data Records and the talented
Mark du Mosch, following up his last amazing offering on the label with this belter. Hot.
10 October 2010
Outer Space is a project by John Elliott of Emeralds. His
self-titled LP is simply stunning. Three years in the making, armed with an array of synthesizers and the methods of a couple of mid-20th century electronic music composers. Really cannot wait to see
Emeralds at
Unsound in a couple of weeks.

Without doubt one of the songs of the summer by the talented Danish duo
Kenton Slash Demon, just brilliant house music that will leave you feeling enchanted. They will soon release Part 2 of The Schwarzchild Solution on
Tartelet, and it is certainly worth getting excited about.
Drumpoet Community has been one of the most consistent labels around for some time now, always delivering a fresh twist on a classic sound. This IFM track is taken from the
Yes We Are EP.
Finally got a decent copy of
Tom Ware's LP The Fourth Circle. A masterpiece in mid-80s synthesizer extravagance...
21 September 2010
Released on
Bruno Pronsato's
Thesongsays label last year is this achingly beautiful track by Benoit & Sergio. And it's this almost lethargic sound that follows through to just as good effect in Sergio's latest output with Pronsato as NDF and the track
Since We Last Met.One from the
Firecracker archive. Fudge Fingas funk laden deep house.
16 September 2010
A couple of superb pulsating tracks taken from
Gideon's W.O.M. LP out on
Anticlub.
This is a beautiful bonus track off
Alex_q's
Endlich Fruhling EP out on
Musik Gewinnt Freunde. The track also made it on it's own as an
uncredited 12". Lovely stuff.
A few soundtracky/ambient bits to finish today. A track from
Satomi Taniyama's Portopia and something from the
Coloursound Library collection number
57.
8 September 2010
In celebration of
Dissiden going digital. One of the lesser heard favourites of mine, sounds like a crappy 80s science TV soundtrack given a makeover. Grab the WAV's at
JunoDownload.
29 August 2010
Ukranian house producer
Vakula continues to show his talent this time with a track for
The Helping Hand sampler for House Is The Cure. Sits perfectly alongside
Alex Agore and co.
This is the title track off
Conforce's EP on
Modelisme, such a solid release with remix from KiNK & Neville Watson and a super old school house vibe on the b-side.
You might have heard
Vril on here before. Well
Rau is the follow up on
Giegling. More really great dubby techno.
On a similar tip is this by MRSK. Swedish dub techno keeps getting better.
To finish a few bits of techno with their sounds firmly rooted in the past.
23 August 2010
Been recovering from the weekend with the aid of the excellent
Synoptics (A Reflective Compilation) from 1994. Lovely, lovely stuff.
19 August 2010
The Dutch son of Detroit
Orlando Voorn serves up this aptly titled beauty.
Brilliant remix by
Perc taken from
Tsuba Rarities.
18 August 2010
Show-B put this track in his compilation that made
Compost Black Label Series Vol.4. It's a really strong compilation with other great tracks from Jay Shepheard, Roland Appel and Pilooski to name a few.
A dazzling debut by
Laolu. Haunting tech house with that South American/Latin vocal thing going on. Really good. Reminds me a bit of
Kadebostan which is funny because I think it actually might be Kadebostan?
16 August 2010

Irish producer
Automatic Tasty has just put out a super
new 12" on Lunardisko, really recommended for fans of that
Clone-centric electro-house sound.
Taken from
Strength Music's delightful
Semesters II. There's just something about this that makes me go all funny, beautiful.
Back to Ireland and
TR-One's EP out on
POGO. Really lush and emotive music that goes from sounding like BoC to slow house jazziness without ever feeling out of place.
15 August 2010
Sensational music for the setting summer sun. This is a beautifully paced woozy house track by the talented Danish producer Nick Eriksen.
Taragana Pyjarama is a new project for Eriksen who has also been getting a lot of positive attention for his work as
Eim Ick. I'm really excited to hear more! A worthy addition to Denmark's exciting electronic movement.
Eim Ick will have a 12" out shortly on the impeccable
Hivern Discs, the label has also just released
Hivern A Lestiu Vol II a compilation celebrating two years of existence, you can read more about it
on their blog.
11 August 2010
Here's a few highly recommended bits. Experimental, psychedelic, dubby, deep and just plain GOOD.
Going to make a go of posting more regular.
1 August 2010
youANDme's second release on the
CUTZ.ME label. This is pretty essential. The vocals come from
Moodymann's interview at the Red Bull Music Academy earlier this year, top stuff.
Warped bass and melodramatic synths make this a winner. Lovely work from the Colombian's
Karraskilla and
Biatch Corp.I love the city of Krakow and surely it can only be made better still when you have musicians of the calibre and variety on offer at
Unsound Festival this October. Seriously,
check out the line up, and consider booking yourself a cheap flight.
29 July 2010
Taken from
Domu's This Is House EP out on
Swedish Brandy. Soulful, smooth and sexy.
Pablo Bolivar mushes this track into a blissed out house treat. It features on a new mix that i'll be able to post up soon.
26 July 2010
DVS1 has been mentioned about around here before for his debut on
Ben Klock's label. He followed up that with
Flight To No Where on
Timefog which keeps withine the confines of raw and unforgiving techno, but for his latest release on the legendary
Transmat he changes up the style to something with a little more warmth and a little less precision, perhaps hinted at in the name of the EP -
Love Under Pressure. All highly recommended.
Lanny May - Wonderfield (
buy)
For fans of the Border Community sound this one. Taken from
Lanny May's
Video Day EP out on
Cinematique.
Dee Pulse - Black Martin (
buy)
This track by
Dee Pulse is taken from
Connaisseur Recordings bumper compilation entitled “
Grand Cru“ which is a familiar term in the wine business and often denominates a special wine, which is made from the best grapes of either one wine-producing area or one vintage. About the compilation the label says: "In this figurative sense, we present the third edition of our compilation series, which started successfully in 2007. We gently refined this year’s selection to find a versatile mixture of handpicked gems. At the same time, this compilation boasts of a representative choice of artists who have already released on
Connaisseur, as well as up-and-coming new talents and skilful purveyors of fine electronic music."
19 July 2010
This is a little bit of a gem.
Dplay makes up a third of the excellent and insular
Mild Pitch label along with
Manuel Tur and
Langenberg. Guaranteed quality house music.
Taken from
The 5 Beats DJ Breaks Vol 2, this is some sinister late night sleaze courtesy of
Franck Roger.
16 July 2010
Top notch disco house jammer by
Art Of Tones.
Ovum followed up one of my favourite EP's of the year so far with something special from
D'Julz, all about synthstabs.
D'Julz edit of

Cannot get enough of

ItaloJohnson combines different influences and aesthetics through a very uncomplicated musical formula. Taken from the first vinyl release that you can get here, this track is raw minimal house. Solid release.
This is just beautiful. Taken from the
Simon Hinter's superb
EP on
Philogresz's TEAM Records.
Taken from
Treats Vol. 2 out on
Quarion and
Session Victim's
Retreat label. Summery house music for the merry.
Retreat's 6th release is shaping up to be an absolute belter too, you can listen on
Soundcloud. Top label.
18 June 2010
Exciting music coming out on
Don't Be Afraid.
Semtek is a producer coming up with some really fresh sounding minimal grooves.
Idiotland is a track offered up for free on his
Bandcamp, but just as impressive is his release before that, the
Bells EP which has this great vocal sample and bang on remix by
Mr G. Grab the vinyl
here.
Absolutely solid release by
Goldwill on
Mojuba sub-label wandering. Atmospheric tracks with a lot of subtle energy. Another tip on Mojuba is the return of Oracy and the quite insane
Bass Mood, so good!
Nuel does away with
Donato Dozzy for the first time on an Aquaplano release. This is utterly sublime. Grab your limited vinyl
here.
11 June 2010
Freerange Records just keeps putting out some of the best house music, I can count a number of tracks on the label this year as potential end of year top-picks. This one by Philipp is taken from the
Colour Series: Pink. It kind of reminds me of
Declination by Foog, but a lot warmer.
Long time Dutch producers
Jark Prongo with this pleasant slice of techno. Nice.
I love the repetition of this by
Brothers' Vibe. Taken from
Wave Files 7, highly recommended.
Understated track by
Dinky from 2006, sounds really quite fresh to me.
FOOTBALL!
4 June 2010
Sandiego dishes out some retrofuturism with his superb
Memories EP out on
Carl Craig's Planet E label. With influences like Herbie Hancock and Model 500 the result is a stunning piece of dance music.
Rocco Branco is an alias of one of my favourite DJ's,
Dominik Eulberg. He always delivers that something special.
Ettiem had his debut on
I'm A Cliche. His sound fits in perfectly with what the label does. Highly recommended.
Gosse De Paris by
Chris Carrier is some great deep house, very bassy with a lot of funky samples and riffs. Get on it.
3 June 2010
Brommage Dub is
Jesper Dahlback and
JL Huhta. They've only done a few bits together over a number of years, Carbon Oxide is from a few years back and definitely oozes that Dahlback sound.
A cracking debut by Thomas Bjerring on
Traumschallplatten. This is the b-side, ethereal melodic techno.
Max Cooper has well and truly established himself as one of the best tech-house producers around of late, and from talking to friends who aren't really into that scene I definitely detect crossover appeal.
Chaotisch Serie really is one for you The Sky Was Pink (Holden Remix) fans.
Melodic tech house by Orneborg.
Yet more epic work by
Audio Werner, truly mesmerising.
More dark French techno. This is
Prime Time with their hypnotic release on
Sharivari Records. Really good.
Now I don't know how many of you are into obscure library compositions from the 70s and 80s. But if you are then head over to
Library Music Rarities. So, so good. From full on funk and disco to experimental soundscapes.
