new Head High is so good, "Push It" is my favourite but "Break Away" is so warm and lush as well

here's a few I've been enjoying lately:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A40-AKj-2JA
Len Faki - It's Time (To Move Your Body) - much more housey than I would expect from one of the big Berghain names
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVR59Iy3zoo
Alan Dixon & Will Tramp - Sunday Stomper (Piano Preacher Mix) - a blatant Floorplan rip-off but there are far worse things to rip off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRtmCyQyDys
Ladymonix - So Sweet - the whole EP is really good, ravey sounds made to feel like a small basement instead of a big festival tent
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj1m7s6TRNk
Sofia Kourtesis - Si Te Portas Bonito - we've all heard this kind of wistful indie-leaning melancholy house before but she's so good at isn't she

ladymonix is so my shit. new head high? can't wait to get that. need to see what he's been up to over the last 3 years.

i've always liked len faki but quick fast forward reveals one of those vocal hooks with an unmistakeable euro / german accent, i realize it's my hangup but i just can't sell it without cringing a little bit.

i'm generally Len Faki ambivalent but for lift off potential, this one hits that spot, even in spite of the tired 909 hi hat.

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

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
