Awesome disco house. Among friends we’ve been talking about two parties that would be great to go to: banger but intelligent tech-house and a cool easy-going disco. Starry Night is exactly the kind of disco I’m wishing for.
Peggy Gou – Moment EP
Letherette – Brown Lounge, Vol. 5
Perfect Saturday music for yawning and staying lazy in bed.
Throwing Snow – The Death Of Pragmatism
Mid-uptempo broken beat electronics. It’s a smash, extremely good sound.
On a another note: it comes with liner notes along the exact same lines as The Balck Dog‘s Black Daisy Wheel. The motivation behind every artistic output that’s angry and frustrated these days is the current state of politics and global idiotism. Fun times.
Evigt Mörker - Krona
For the first listen I was hooked on this. For the second listen I found it boring. It’s totally up to mood and state of mind, but it’s a good minimal techno album. Also it shows that it’s a debut, some way to go, but worth keeping an eye on.
Orlando Voorn – The Best of Orlando Voorn
It’s a mishmash of things around the house-electro-rave globe from a lifetime catalog. Two random notes. One: Playboy – A Paco Di Bango’s World goes to my hilarious house tracks playlist, right after Big Fat Head. Funny house is a thing, I’m slowly getting this. Two: Format – Solid Session is my favorite dancefloor anthem on this one, and it’s from 1991, gosh.
Dominik Eulberg – Mannigfaltig
Downtempo electronic music with a lot of soul. Also, beautiful cover. I haven’t been following !K7 for quite a while and it’s nice to see their logo again.
Robot Koch - Sphere
Slow moving, bass heavy, moody, atmospheric, ambient electro. For me it’s not that kind of dark to be dark ambient, but it has a gloomy scifi vibe for sure. Could be an alternative soundtrack to Moon.
Oliver Koletzki – The Arc Of Tension
Deep-tech house with an ambient vibe. Soothing and conveying energy at the same time. Great for work.
Monolink - Amniotic
I find this record enchanting. That nice kind of electronic music in the footsteps of all the wonderful creations by Moderat or Kiasmos. It has a lot of emotions but I don’t feel any cheesyness about it, it’s well crafted music, nicely put words, feels authentic to me. And especially the track Sirens, that’s a massive head and heart trip with goosebumps.
Marie Davidson – Working Class Woman
This album is part hilarious and part fascinating. Work It is something I cannot not re-listen any number of times, it is like a caricature of a motivational speech but it actually does feel motivating. And The Tunnel is creepy like hell, it’s like an audio version of a horror movie and not in a sense that there are horroresque soundtrack elements in it but the atmosphere and words hit nails under my nails. Overall the whole record is that great kind of avantgarde with minimal wave synth sounds where the words deliver meaning even if they sound dadaist at times. It’s artsy but works.
