Bobbins 2021

bobbins is not dead

https://itzonlykamehouse.bandcamp.com/track/mantili

Wasn't sure where to post this but RIP Phil Asher. A great champion of Brit house and broken beat since the 90's.

Yeah, RIP. He was a familiar face and behind a few really great records. With the recent Co-Op compilation with a few new names I was hoping there would be a little more of a revive of that sound. I've dug out some of my favourites this morning and I'm playing them loud.

I’m continuing the Spotify playlist for last year’s thread into the new year, in case anyone’s interested. The most recent additions will appear on top of the list, so currently that’s “Mantili” by Anatolian Weapons:

ILM Bobbins 🐙 2020/2021

Love the 3 songs, but “Let’s Talk” by Anatolian Weapons is particularly good.

Really love the texture of these tracks:
https://neglectsound.bandcamp.com/album/signal-realm-ep

As far as things 2021 releases go, I recently ordered this ~ https://clone.nl/item61605.html ~ the next in 20/20 Vision’s series of v/a electro 12”s, largely for the Kosh track.

There are a couple new Floorplan songs. This one is pretty good.

Another great breakbeat/ambient lp on Ilian Tape:

https://iliantape.bandcamp.com/album/itlp08-kas-like-sunlit-threads

always happy for more floorplan

Speaking of breaks, I've been digging on Sekret Chadow.

Example:

locked in the park, with Sohrab - Focal Point

was curious how you was out there saer, hope it's good times

Digging this Benedek track Street Level from the Mr Goods album:

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

Late 2020, but just caught up to it now, and it's my obsession of the week: Zepherin Saint, "Resurrect My Feelings."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-YhMU4zsVs

"Resurrect My Feelings" is some groovy organ(ic) shit, love it

slightly Sylvestery vocal too

nice!

Hadn't even registered the Sylvesterishness of the vocals. Good call!

Great track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exi604gDinI

monday morning benevolence

Cerfeuil - Durance (Upriver Mix)

Good one.

Yeah, I enjoyed that one a lot.

co-sign, gorgeous

As far as ethereal techno based off a female voice speaking an Italian phrase in hypnotic repetition, this...

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

... is the proud successor to this 2019 bobbins jam:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9MEddhzBn8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF4SA6Axs1Q

Odopt - A14

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

Zillas On Acid - He Wasn't Afraid...

a couple of chuggers chugging into the station

let me boldly post this South African amapiano track here - the album it's from is called Party With The English after all:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk_8zbe_M2I
Mr JazziQ ft. Soul Revolver + Mellow & Sleazy • Rockit

Very lush.

i feel like i have been playing the shit outta that for awhile? did you post it in one of the african threads earlier or am i just confusing this with something that sounds very similar?

the album it’s from only dropped this week, I posted a different track on the Rolling Mzansi thread - but you know what they say about amapiano...

(but I picked this one for this thread because it’s an instrumental, don’t think all that many instrumental amapiano tracks have been posted tbh)

maybe i got it as a recommendation. anyways, it's great!

a few more i'm feeling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg01EU50Gow

Tamburi Neri & Hiroko - Ama

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

Strapontin, Zillas on Acid - What's Worse

https://soundcloud.com/lagasta/premiere-roe-deers-radical-tom

Roe Deers - Radical Tom

I've been going through the Shall Not Fade discography and enjoying a high percentage of it.

yeh
what's standing out?

Digging the Pierre Moritz album from 2018. Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVXB9xMQ1_4

This one from Paul Rudder scratches an itch for me, with it's bouncy piano build:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTVr3isomeA

This one from Astro is a bit trancey but sounds great loud:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVXB9xMQ1_4

The new album from Felipe Gordon is good all the way through:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVXB9xMQ1_4

I've only recently started getting back into looking for dance music, so forgive me if this is all stuff you've already heard.

“It’s” 🤦‍♂️

Also, I ordered the Special Request DJ Kicks 2-LP set, and the first time they sent it with two of the C/D records. They replaced it, so now I have a couple C/D records and the sleeve, of anyone wants it. Preferably someone in the Bay Area.

this is three years old but it doesn't really fit in with the "bobbins of the past" thread imo. i always feel heat from deetron when i check what he's up to from time to time. all about that breakdown imo. great lyrics, great vocal performance.

deetron ft. jamie lidell - cry with the stars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwFi3xwBfxg

from late last year

SeeMeNot - Borderline (Roman Flugel remix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuTQaBDd50M

Enjoying the sunny vibes on Nemo Vachez - Holiday Special.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JFVeCBjDEA

New Skee Mask LP out today 'Pool': https://iliantape.bandcamp.com/album/itlp09-skee-mask-pool

Digitals are a bit pricey!

DJI, i like the Paul Rudder and Pierre Moritz tracks you posted - curious about the other two you meant to post, 'cause you posted the YouTube for Moritz three times instead!

love that nemo vachez track

really like this one (and I swear it's not only because it has a Dutch title):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ2m-KZ-jvY
Amandra • Kapsalon

Wow, that's embarrassing. Let's try that again:

This one from Astro is a bit trancey but sounds great loud:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUhQx3Hx7Nk

The new album from Felipe Gordon is good all the way through:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9CewdktyeY

Love the retro 80s vibe on this new one: Palms Trax & Nonku Phiri - Petu

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhWyM3II5bA

Lady Blackbird Vs KDA - Collage (Dub)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gCUVTXWY8A

not sure if this belongs here or perhaps on some Balearic thread:

another recent one that's good

https://seekers.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/B1-seekers-Rainy-Groove-SKR008.3.mp3

Seekers - Rainy Groove

Not paid too much attention to Seekers but love this one, just a clip here but out in July

I'm into both of the D.Dan releases. Looking forward to some of his music hopefully getting released that he played on his latest HOR set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_62mdb7WER0

Gayance + Dapapa - "Ritmo"
from montreal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpJdAw6S7hM

There’s been a whole load of bumpy, major-key, naive, rave-ish mish-mash tracks over the last year or so that I just can’t help but smile when I listen to. I’m not sure if they will hold up over time, but I think the wide-eyed positivity of them is just so appealing to me at the moment.

This one is Felon5 - Potter's Pinball.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuHZduaX3oI

(proceeds go to Mind and Gladt)

Map I love that Cody Currie remix.

Did you hear this track from the same producer from late last year (“harajuku hammer”):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZc5fFS3sMc

oh man, awesome!

cassius select track from late 2020 ("born to defence")

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JFramkX008

I know this probably doesn't belong here (but):

Donae'O - She Belongs To The Night ft Dj Supa D, Mr Taffa & Etta Bond

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62T2Ip7kNeo

Is there a bobbins thread for general non-4x4 dance music; club music; or bass music?

I'm sure some would like to consign it to the 'funky' niche but imo what's going on now is broader and more interesting than just funky.

https://edenburns.bandcamp.com/track/rats-a-rat

“She Belongs To The Night” is basically a UK (funky) take on amapiano, as acknowledged in the lyrics: she plays me like piano

my favourite is the Juls remix, which would be perfectly at home on the Afropop thread

also, any song that borrows its melody from Britney’s “Gimme More” is alright with me

some bookkeeping, for searching and other purposes:

DJI posted Sekret Chadow • I Love You Mommy
saer's Huerta x Midnight Fantasy track is titled "Legwork vs Is It Me Or Is It Her?" (ft. Nadia)
and karl…arlk…rlka…lkar… posted Eden Burns • Rat’s A Rat

the freshly Spotify playlist: ILM 🐙 Bobbins 2020/2021

love that Cassius Select track btw

freshly *updated* playlist obv

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f135tfhuDzI

Loving the nu-Freestyle vibe on that Huerta meets Midnight Fantasy track.

Can we make nu-Freestyle a thing please?

“She Belongs To The Night” is basically a UK (funky) take on amapiano, as acknowledged in the lyrics: she plays me like piano

my favourite is the Juls remix, which would be perfectly at home on the Afropop thread

also, any song that borrows its melody from Britney’s “Gimme More” is alright with me

Oh right I didn't make the connection with that lyric, thanks. To me the one I posted (the original?) hit a little harder, the Juls remix is solid for sure but I think Etta Bond's vocals, absent from the remix, are a plus too.

__

SO anyway is it ok if I make a thread for non-4x4 dance music, bass music, club music etc? Not like my virtual record box is overflowing with new stuff but I'm sure over time I could slowly fill a thread. Now seems like an appropriate time to ask.

(Also glad to see your name here, I was just noticing a lack of recent activity in the afrobeats and amapiano threads and hoping you weren't AWOL. Maybe I should apologize for my intermittent activity too, my internet isn't always dependable enough to load massive rolling ILM threads.)

i think the rolling reconstructed club music thread is what you're looking for, if it's still active

steevio - cynefin

i have to say i pretty much always enjoy tong’s own mixes, he’s more omnivorous than a lot of people give him for

really into this actual bobbin:

first release on his first label. i'm a fan. need to truck it out to california and see him dj some day.

I can’t remember if I’ve seen him dj! I’ve seen a live set, though, and it was good

Man, I just love this sort of sweet rave revival stuff

Model Man - Sweet Surrender

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-jfXLX1cv0

New Lone album is quite a bit more subdued and distant than I would have imagined. Almost witch house style

Really love this one, very pretty lo-fi vibes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQKptK-LEZk

so breezy and lovely:

Marc Brauner - Your Heart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrNuow5DMxA

Lots of subtle little synth solos in that one - good stuff!

fab

missed this one from last year

masarima - freak like u

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0NPhvIB-GM

Oh yeah that one was a real grower for me

I know we trend a little more techno and house in this thread generally, but lord I want to hear this on a massive system while I'm absolutely ripped on drugs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJzm-2MRSs

what do you even call this kind of music??

Tbh, I'd say this track has most in common with late 90s/early 2000s hard acid and more old school Goa trance...the rest of the EP is more d'n'b and break's oriented, but this track is just a massive trance number that begins on a more ambient tip

pom mentioned it in the "reconstructed" thread but I dunno, it doesn't sound "reconstructed" to me. it sounds like trance music.

That's quite something. It feels like it works through several different styles of music in waves rather than movements, so rather than having a turnaround and then moving into a breaks section, the breaksy drums seem to appear at first on the horizon and get nearer and nearer..

Yeah, the whole EP is really quite good, full of subtle moments and effects that really work for me right now.

That's great. Wish I could find a digital copy

In case it interests anyone, I spoke to the DJ's DJ, Chrissy about his latest album Physical Release and about the dance music scene from the 90s all the way up to the post-lockdown era. It was a great chat: https://charliestoic.medium.com/moving-house-dancing-about-architecture-with-chrissy-50c89cb7f2a3

Good read, thanks!

The new Sound Stream as Disgo - Trick or Track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xAN73dfZJ4

The Eris Drew is pretty fantastic, denser than an Octo Octa, lots of fun and cascading with organic and playful sounds (A Howling Wind - Show You Love), tributes to the 90s injected everywhere (Sensation, Ride Free), very consistent and yet bookended with clear highlights (first two and last two). I haven't found anything to say about the last two but I like them too.

DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - "Being Alone"

Despite representing herself solely through 8-bit images of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," London's DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ transcends gimmick in creating immersive, sample-laden house records that can make three hours feel like twenty minutes. On The Makin' Magick II Album, her songs flow into one another like a stream (or perhaps a lazy river) of consciousness — listening to just one track can be sacrilegious, but each song is like the sonic version of looking back to a treasured childhood memory. Throughout the record, indiscernible vocal samples build on top of each other (is that Celine Dion on "I'm Still High"?) cloaked in carefree nostalgia, and highlights like the 12-minute "Being Alone" feel as though your molly just hit in the garden of Eden. It's easy to lose yourself in DJ Sabrina; just relax and surrender to the evergreen magic.

Title track from Phil Evans' LP, S-Mile.

Drifted past me a bit on first listen, but really taken with its friendly demeanour on return - cheery vid too for the people who look at things

xp Listened to a lot of that DJ Sabrina album today. It's reminiscent of bits of the first Avalanches album, maybe. Not as adventurous and varied but just as intoxicating. Even the song titles seem familiar: "Airplane Song (Welcome Home)", "Paradise", "Love Is The Purest Thing There Is"...

From new label UFO series:

Seafoam - hard city, for some heady deep minimal house vibes

and Volen - Rolling with the papers, for some trippy stripped back breakbeat vibes

Man that whole Sharda EP is so dope

High-NRG!

Speaking of which, I'm really loving the new album by Sansibar which seems to travel across a whole range of styles from ambient techno to tear-out two-step but using a kind of nineties trance pallette. Whole album is worth a listen

I bought that Papolious Jones EP. Played it at my little pub gig and had two people come up and ask what it is. One of them bought it right there on the spot off Bandcamp. Spreading the word!

Just bought the Sansibar thing. Thanks!

Northern Division Autumn Terrace

Livewire tribute to Johnny Giles from local lads Northern Division

Resident Advisor's Tracks of the Year list always has a few hits. Love this one.

tondiue's debut packed an album's worth of ideas into an EP of techno that explores the outer reaches of the genre, specifically slowed-down breakbeats and tunneling, Wata Igarashi-style arpeggio workouts. "Painted Creature" falls somewhere between these styles. What starts out as a loose hand percussion workout laced with clipped, unnerving vocal samples before the breakdown turns it into a tripped-out big room techno cut that could stand up with the best of 'em. It's just one of many highlights on a techno EP that sticks with us like few others have this year.—A.R.

Big enough squad for a title run here

late pass for Sofia Kourtesis who i discovered on boxedjoy's recent mix. the whole EP is wonderful.

I nominate that we do a “current bobbins” thread instead of a 2022 one. The yearly ones made a lot more sense when the threads were much longer and computers were much less prepared to handle “show all messages.” More to the point, there’s not much space to post stuff from slightly earlier: a track from 2019, say, wouldn’t go in the “bobbins of the past” thread,” nor would it make sense to revive the 2019 thread, so there’s kind of a blindspot.

as someone who is constantly “discovering” things that ppl were losing their heads about in 2018, I second this idea lol

hehe indeed

Current bobbins
