okay, I forgot to name that one. It's Alan Fitzgerald - Learning to Love. Got me reaching for the French records; Crydamoure, Roule etc.

I hadn’t noticed there was a new Jamal Moss album, sounding awesome as always.
Today I am enjoying this, on the first record out from him for a decade: Anthony Teasdale - Jan's Hammer.

I was a bit confused thinking the name was familar, looked it up and Jexopolis used the same track name a couple of years ago.

This reminds me (maybe too much? nah, I'm ok with it) of a classic Francois K track, down to the squelchy synth solo.

his recent / upcoming remix of jam & spoon's - odyssey to anyoona, while perhaps not my usual kind of thing, is pretty great.

a few I've been enjoying lately:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-zPI48JCEk
East Coast Love Affair - Chicago - an acid cover of the Roy Ayers 1983 single.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utTXvrPfzKs
Boys Noize & ABRA - Affection (Playgroup Back 2 89 Remix) - as the title suggests, this is a freestyle homage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2FxgliqpTU
X-COAST - XTC V - 90's handbag revivalism complete with familiar samples.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5QzeLfmtSE
Hidden Spheres - Euan 92 - uplifting piano chords over fake dreamy Italo-house.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GDNVaEM6XQ
rRoxymore - Midnight Shift - even on a label as "conventional" as Aus, this is still layered with queasy vocal samples and stuttered rhythms.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eXEZf91b-Q
Bella Boo - True Romance - feels like this year's "La Perla", wistful loved-up filtered-disco
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5c9zo9UW4E
Barnt - This Is For Decor Only - monolithic stompy business for the Ibiza big-rooms, but weird enough to be idiosyncratic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkpxZgpAgAc
Josh Caffé - Do You Want To Take Me Home? (Steffi & Virginia Remix) - driving sleazy house, splits the difference between Berghain and Robert Owens.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4blFDTi3YWg
Gramrcy - Gliding Again - 138bpm hard techno based on the best thirty seconds in My Bloody Valentine's "What You Want."
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 31 July 2022 12:36 (two years ago) link
^ That's a great list. I'm all for "90s handbag revivalism"
Also that Fango - Elle Cang upthread is wonderful

Sorry for being basic but I was listening to fred again…’s boiler room set earlier and it sounded great.

because i’m old, i didn’t like it, which is a rather salty way of admitting i couldn’t connect with the music. but as a dj his energy is infectious and undeniable, and it was especially impressive how he handled the few hiccups. above all, it’s an important reminder that (in a club setting anyway) “good” music and good dj’ing don’t mean a whole lot compared to the undeniable power of a totally up-for-it crowd

Fred Again.. seems on paper like someone whose music would be right up my street but every time I try it just leaves me indifferent. As tlg says though, that crowd are loving it and it's nice to see a Boiler Room that feels like an actual room and not just a festival tent.
― boxedjoy, Monday, 1 August 2022 08:03 (two years ago) link
Hidden Spheres - Euan 92 - uplifting piano chords over fake dreamy Italo-house.love it

Lategreat: ah yeah agree somewhat. The music is not my usual cup of tea, just loved the energy of the set and the crowd. It’s been a minute since I last saw a boiler room where it felt like a party.

Has some similarities to "Path of Most Resistance" by Pepe Bradock.

Yes! That is exactly the record I was thinking of, just couldn't remember the name

Knew I could rely on ILM for a genuine, snark-free response.
I'm just going to assume y'all really like sewing machines?
― The Ghost Club, Saturday, 27 August 2022 20:00 (two years ago) link
afaict it's an old term first-gen british ilx came up with for for minimal / kompakt-y techno in the early to mid 2000s.
― (grim) pump track (wales) (map), Saturday, 27 August 2022 20:05 (two years ago) link
pretty sure it's just old-ILM speak for "house/techno/etc track", or at least that's how i've always read it
xp
― donna rouge, Saturday, 27 August 2022 20:06 (two years ago) link
now that there are < 10 dance music posters on ilm it doesn't really seem helpful to follow microgenre thread topics that closely or maybe i just don't care.
i wish we had a different name for house and techno threads but this one is somewhat adequate, i guess, if dated
― (grim) pump track (wales) (map), Saturday, 27 August 2022 20:10 (two years ago) link
bobbins is used informally in brit-english as a synonym for nonsense, and i'm guessing it was originally used on ilx in that sense but in an affectionate way?
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Saturday, 27 August 2022 20:11 (two years ago) link
i seem to remember the music in the bobbins threads being compared to sewing machines early on but the detective search work required to verify that is beyond me.
― (grim) pump track (wales) (map), Saturday, 27 August 2022 20:18 (two years ago) link
Interesting, thanks for your responses! I love that the term is hyper-specific to ILM. It's like a secret code language.
Anyways, sorry for the interruption. Back to the bobbins!
