Freal, Normski in full effek. Nice bouquet, taking me back to the dayz of "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarnse-Energeeee" with graphic overtones from "Groove Is In The Heart". Tune is better for the visuals.
Nostalgia for dayz. Not much of a tune, doe it did get better towards the end. Fun video, not as spot on as the Chase & Status one.
My Sister & friends were once asked to go on Dance Energy, but I guess they asked half the ravers in the London area to go on it at some point. She didn't make it unfortunately, I think it clashed with her school timetable.
On a kinda related note. I was listening to the TNGHT mix off the radio like (though I downloaded it naturally) interesting stuff. Seems like an odd thing to associate with Warp but I guess they're not all IDM anymore. HudMo & Lunice didn't put this happy hardcore remix on the EP though.
Never really bought into the various different strains of this kind of sound beyond the original Clams Casino instrumentals but liking the new Holy Other album - seems to have a significant dubstep (in the original UK definition) influence to it which works well with the hazy burial vibes.
I like some of the Triangle stuff. I don't know how well a lot of it stands up to the test of time, and people hate on it because what it is, or what it isn't, or cause it's the new triphop or whatever.. but it fills a gap between ish like this
and the more left field hip hop producers.

Got the new The XX lp the other day but haven't had a chance to sit down and listen to yet.

Ha, had never even though of the logical progression from R??yksopp to Tri-angle but that track fits beautifully. My issue with a lot of the label's output is mainly to do with the repetitive nature of the music. Too much of it sounds like a good loop with no place to go. However, when it works, it really does work for me. Agree that it most likely won't stand the test of time but enjoying the good bits while it lasts.
My points of comparison would be Agitation Free, Dog Faced Hermans, and This Heat. This is how their label sums them up: "Using the just intonation tuning system favored by avant garde composers such as La Monte Young and James Tenney, the group's playing acknowledges the conservatory but just as freely draws upon krautrock, post-punk, Appalachian and African musical traditions."
One of my favorite threads. I've been deep into the stuff coming out on this label recently, starting with that medlar - terrell cut. Any of you brits have any other recommends along these lines?

This particular sound isn't really my cup of tea, but it's everywhere at the moment.
Prefer the '90s vibe to this:
Which makes me think of this classic (the two mix together easy enough)
I'm not particularly a fan of the Solange and the video is pretty meh, but the song is great. produced by Dev Hynes, who I have a vague recollection of reading an interview with where he said he'd been dissecting Madonna songs to see where the magic came from, or something to that effect. Guess this is the fruit of that endeavor. Personally there is something about the layered synths that just does it for me in these mellow rnb tracks, same with the Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart and other tracks I can't recall right now.

In an almost complete counter, I love the video in my post but the song is pretty meh. I just love the idea of recording on one side of the world that contrasts your own, taking it home and chopping it up.. Had to clarify, it's been irking me.. Therapy session over.

One of my favourite Mos Def beats, I really like this, and he even gets rid of the race politics :wow:
