reminiscent of Dale Lawrence innit

Played these today, and loved a lot of it, especially the Killer DJ’s and Priori tracks and Roza Terenzi’s Reptant remix.

A small request: Could I ask people to label/identify the tracks they’re posting? It makes searching so much easier and will prevent this thread from becoming a broken link graveyard - there’s too many of those already. Thanking you in advance!

The tracks posted (or mentioned) in the thread so far:

Killer DJ’s • Untitled
Reptant • Phasic Reflex
Hymns • Water Acid
S.O.N.S • A New Life (Planet Earth Mix)
Ludwig A.F. Röhrscheid • Helium
Manmade Deejay • Juli
Ambien Baby • Sedated
Roza Terenzi & DJ Zozi • World Off
Reptant ft. Roza Terenzi • A Realist’s Realistic Reality (Roza’s Realism Remix)
Priori • SCN 1

ok so v. few of these are melbourne or vancouver based

Had been planning on making a thread for this stuff for a while, glad to have stumbled across this one.

I don't know much about the original Northern Exposure mixes (there are some intriguing posts from Tim F scattered around various threads, I think), but I've been meaning to bring up these mixes which I listened to a lot this summer, and will hopefully be of interest to people posting on this thread:

I've been listening to a lot of stuff in this vein of late and thought people might find some use from these two Spotify playlists I made. The first is pretty broad-ranging around the edges but the second is sufficiently focused that I decided to name it in honour of this thread:

I'm guessing this would fit the bill? Anyway, it's amazing.

I posted the a-side upthread so sure!

Another Ludwig AF, been a favourite of mine for a while -

TC80 - To Kaido, for all those still outdoors

Vladimir Gnatenko - Die Nag, for those still indoors

Roza Terenzi - Stylish Tantrum, first track released off this EP
https://stepballchain.bandcamp.com/track/stylish-tantrum

the Roza Terenzi album from earlier this year is pretty sweet

Also Roza’s just released, very trancey Resident Advisor mix is just lovely, though uh does make the Northern Exposure connection very explicit:

https://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=756&comments=1

never saw this thread first time around but I'm here now and that's what matters.

maybe this should go on the melbourne --> vancouver thread but I really enjoy how this general spiderweb of interconnected artists / sounds manage to take in trance, progressive/early-orbital, hardcore, breakbeats, jungle, basically anything that was going on between 1992 and 1999 (including uk garage at times) in what feels like a quite open-minded / open-hearted way - as if the unifying aesthetic is less some particular sonic brief or even some kind of ideological position other than "wow the 90s would have been a great time to go raving"

I love how this ~scene~ is both very broad and all-encompassing and yet the interconnectivity of it makes sense. Dance music singles don't ever exist a vacuum - they're always in conversation with each other through being played and mixed in different ways, of course - but it's the way that they make sense together that's really appealing. So something like "Body Hurt (Methane Mix)" is trance with a near-garage rhythmic pulse, but makes sense played alongside something as breakbeaty as "Modern Bliss."

I forgot to say in the above italicised comment that one aesthetic throughline that is not, like, mandatory or enforced, but is recurrent enough to be a real hallmark, is the very nineties / ravey vibe to a lot of the artwork. Hardly unique to this stuff of course, but it does give a sense of where a lot of the producers' heads are at.

Some recent tracks I have enjoyed:

DJ Life - White Bricks (Adam Pitts' Topsy Turvy Mix):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYJDyGsN0jI

Furious Frank - Trip 2 Fantasy (Ludwig A.F. Worldwide Floor Destruction Mix):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap0Q0-I0pSc

AHJU - Cause I (1-800 Girls Remix):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbCNqE4eYzQ

Litherland - Abstentia (The End is in Sight Mix):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWXD8Bxeh0s

Tech Support - Werkseinstellungen Zuruckgesetzt (Parris Remix):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjeY6zrcRuQ

Will Silver - We Can Talk (Supreems Remix):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6z3FO-9JMM

Adam Pitts - Magenta (Seth Wildblood Remix):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2owOfTmznqA

Rituals - Come Around Me (Baltra Remix):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meoBtyYT73o

Oh and I forgot about this track from B'Zircon (collaboration between Roza Terenzi and Fantastic Man), "Azure":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-1CbVLjDXw

One of my great regrets is ignoring Rosa Terenzi for so long because I confused her with Ramzi, also of the AUS-BC axis but imo much less interesting. She, along with D tiffany, reptant, et al are making some of my fav music these days.

I LOVE Baltra

Listening to “Azure” again this morning I was struck by how much the aesthetic preoccupations of this scene can be explained by a copy of Sasha’s XPander EP from 1999, and tbh I’m here for it.

abso-friggin-lutely it’s that wide open aqueous/big sky feel

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

not much happens here, but WHOOSH

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4FBHxpCkjM

sorry, that’s “open sky” by dust-e-1 and side a of “inversia 1” by globex

More along these lines
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvwGjnUP28g

and this, from St. Petersburg tho’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rp_SngkyLY

need to go in on this thread - really clicking with roza terenzi. just needed to sit down, get high and listen to full trax lol.

great trippy ep here from new (?) producer maara, on good ole NAFF

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

https://superconsciousrecords.bandcamp.com/album/yuf-o-you-eff-ohh

YUF-O is Yu Su and Francis Inferno Orchestra.

This builds nicely -

new d Tiffany / roza terenzi

https://stepballchain.bandcamp.com/album/tapestry-of-sound

This is monumental.

Some of these tracks cover so much ground and so many different ideas they're almost like jive bunny megamixes or miniature dj sets.

feel like one of d Tiffany’s trademarks is this “aquatic skitteriness”, something in the way the hats and percussion skip around and run through filters and stuff, it’s so funky

No youtubes up yet but these samples sound great. https://www.phonicarecords.com/product/guy-contact-ultraviolet-freqs-ep-pre-order-craigie-knowes/175309

Gonna just say it: The AUS/CAN connection (and related global instances of high-end 90s trance/prog flecked revival - though the best of it seems to be from Australia and BC) is my favourite thing in the last few years of new music.

damn late pass on this Bliss Inc Radiant Reality ep from 2019! Very cool stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guNXN9gCK9o

Not part of this scene, but for anyone who enjoyed Rosa Terenzi's trance set for Resident Advisor last year, this 2019 set by Job Jobse is very very fun:

new d tiffany mix. i recommend most mixes in the pipipi series to van -> melb fans

https://soundcloud.com/pipipigroup/d-tiffany-69420

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3BKPO72agk

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

I know the label is based in Berlin rather than Aus/Can but The Sound Of Limo feels like it belongs here

Anyone who digs that HAS to check out their DJ Trance remixes from a few years ago:
