I took some time out today to listen to Lego Feet, which was the techno-orientated alias adopted by Sean and Rob of Rochdale based electronic behemoth Autechre. Before they made music that sounded like a German robot masturbating in the back of a futuristic car, they made some pretty cutting edge techno that could fool both camps. This is part 1 of a re-issue that was released recently, and it's dynamite.

classic North East UK Afterdark tune (despite being an italodance record). Those mid 90s tracks always have great synth leads.

Whilst we're on the subject, I am partial to a bit of Tommy Pulse.

Some oldskool Gabber. I suggest to play it @ 1.25 speed but it's not a necessity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You get the picture.

Been a fan of these guys for a while now. They make amazing old-skool Electro with modern sound but keeping very true to the old electro-funk style like Cybotron or Afrika Bambaata that just were ripping Kraftwerk anyway. Good stuff. Nice to hear a modernized version of that music with today's production values.

New Aphex Twin on its way?

 

Aphex Twin sparks new album speculation with mysterious artwork found in Elephant & Castle underground in London.

 

I am beyond ready.

This girl should have been in After Hours.

Somebody I went to school with is a DJ, and he's worked/toured with Hannah Wants. I'm quite surprised to be honest, because I didn't think she was such a big name. I must say I do like her remixes.

 

EDIT: Just found him, he's called Jimmy Switch. Couldn't remember his DJ name, ha.

Hi guys, i'm not sure if advertising is allowed out there. i'd like to say that i'm not involved into that album, nor commercially, nor technically. i post here just because i know there are lot of Vice city fans out there. Jan Hammer has just released a new album called Seasons Pt. 1. i didn't listen to the whole album, but i loved a lot the few i listened to so far. you can listen the album first track Miami - Night for free on the artist's Youtube channel. the album can be purchased at both Amazon, or itunes in both digital, or physical version

This would sound perfect in a Streets of Rage game.

Just found this guy through Enei and I think he's brilliant.

 

[BlackScout 6,932]

Bump.

 

 

The guy from my profile picture. Yes, I'm obsessed with the trio.

I just heard it today on Twitch and I love it.

Flume's new mixtape is incredible. I was afraid after Skin he'd lead into a radio-friendly musical direction, luckily this album has an array of fresh experimental sounds. Check it out if you're into artists such as Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus or Iglooghost. 

 

[The Odyssey 1,678]

1969 in the sunshine...

[Mister Pink 9,823]

@The Odyssey Great choice! Love me some Boards...' ^ 

 

This is about a pop as a I go.. It's pretty solid though. Royksopp are great and they teamed up with Robyn here. She has a great voice. Love the concept of the track and the raw modern disco sound. 

 

 

[Mister Pink 9,823]

Sorry for the double post. Hoping to keep this topic alive. 

 

Really digging Bonobo's "Fabric Presents.."  It's on Spotify too

 

 

 

[DEALUX 2,422]

I've become a huge fan of Grime as of late. It's the best thing to come out out of hip-hop and electronic music this century at least. My recommended artists are Flowdan, Wiley, Dizzee, Kano, D Double E, Stormzy, etc.

 

 

This is a pretty decent doc on the subject:

Was wondering if old school electro or even the early 2000s style was still a thing. Would love to hear some more songs like that.

 

 

Anyway, this is one of my new favorite songs to test headphones with. Great for vocals, depth perception, and ambient sounds\reverb.

 

 

[Mister Pink 9,823]

@DEALUX I can see why you may use that track to test headphones. They made some great use of ambient sounds. 

 

The video that was missing in the quote above is this.. (I think) You might like it, it's got that old-skool electro/ghetto-tech sound. 

 

 

Here's a decent mix of all that style. Video/audio quality aint great but if you find some decent tracks in there you might be on your way.
