The site's also got a synthwave bundle going on now, though I haven't heard of any of the bands.

Dance with the Dead owns but I think their best album is Out of Body. The track Blind on that album destroys me. In a similar sound as DWTD, I'm sure Carpenter Brut's come up before but here's their latest  MV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er416Ad3R1g

New Four Tet, in the same vein as his Chvrches remix last year, this time with Shura. Dude's off on the easy-beat female vocal tip as of late. https://soundcloud.com/shura/shura-touch-four-tet-remix Still looking for a decent bootleg of his back-to-back with Skrillex in London last year.

an old pal of mine is a house music producer by the name of Bwana. He recently released a concept album that is entirely constructed of samples from the film Akira. Worth a listen even if you're not familiar with the film: http://www.npr.org/2016/03/17/47055...ontent=20160317

Sharzak posted:To me the album had the same problem that Mark Knight's album did--there's just not a ton on there for dedicated fans who have been buying all of his singles over the years. With that being said, I've been waiting for track 3, collider, since he first debuted it on his old radio show in like 2013 so that at least makes me happy. I was really excited for two debut albums from two absolute titans of progressive house to come out within a couple weeks of one another but was a little bummed to be already familiar with 90% of the material. This is a fair criticism from someone who has been a fan for many years. I will be honest, I only started getting really into dance music in 2010-2011, and then only really started digging into a lot of Prydz's collection recently so the album probably felt much fresher to me. On repeated listens though, I am starting to see your point. The songs that are amazing on the album were mostly singles that had already been released or played out at shows, and the rest of the tracks were solid, but don't really live up to the singles for me. I just saw Prydz's EPIC 4.0 set in San Francisco about a month ago and it was incredible. I have never seen visuals like that before and it was a great set, he even threw in a bunch of Cirez D which was cool.

I am going to risk getting reamed here but it feels like this track would be more appropriate to discuss here than in the UK/Bass/Dubstep thread. Seven Lions just released this super melodic dubstep remix of Ferry Corsten's "Beautiful". I know dubstep gets a bad rap but I think Seven Lions is on another world in terms of melody, sound design, and atmosphere in his tracks. This remix really takes me back to the "trancestep" that he became pretty well known for. https://soundcloud.com/seven-lions/ferry-corsten-beautiful-seven-lions-remix He also just released a new EP called "Creation". This EP has a wide range of tracks on it including house, electro, dubstep, and some poppier stuff. He mentioned that this EP has a lot of metal and acoustic influences which is what he grew up playing. https://soundcloud.com/seven-lions/sets/seven-lions-creation-ep *straps his bulletproof vest on*

Worth a listen even if you're not familiar with the film: I've been enjoying this. You should let him know that the latter part of "The Capsule's Pride (Bikes)" mixes really well with "99db - lost visions (2-step mix)". I'm gonna be using that combo in some of my sets. Good stuff.

FWIW, I updated my hardcore rave playlist with a couple tracks from this thread, plus longer/better quality versions of a couple existing songs. I've plumbed the depths of Discogs/YouTube/Ishkur's Guide over the past couple of years, and this playlist reflects the most intense/catchiest/most iconic rave anthems of the early 90's: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuCwCcvRTm7Eo2m3zXf5eIc3Hnfo6yhjZ Of course, even more in this exact style would be most welcome!  Check back a few pages for stuff already suggested, though.Also, a great mix from '93: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQtSJE_NLYo

I liked Audio Video Disco substantially more after giving it more chances, but still, this makes more excited than AVD ever did. That string-synth line reminds me a lot of D.A.N.C.E. but it's not exactly the same or anything.

That's awesome, definitely a throwback to D.A.N.C.E., they seem to be understanding that this is definitely geared for remixing and live shows as well. Also, AVD is every bit as good as their first album, except for Parade. I'd even wager that the best songs on AVD are better than the best songs on Cross, namely Newlands and Helix. 100% guarantee there's a darker, harder remix of this being produced as fast as possible by like 40 amateur producers right now.

The synthwave bug has me pretty bad right now. Aside from Com Truise, Mitch Murder, Dance with the Dead, what else can I look into? e: Oh look, there was a synthwave discussion on this very page and I didn't bother to scroll up. Synthwave is absolute 80s cheese to me and I love it even if it can get repetitive. I still like it more than dubstep some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Jul 18, 2016 |

Lost Years for something a bit more chill and very quintessentially 80s sounding. It's an endless rabbit hole, really. Just dig around in the NewRetroWave channel on Youtube, there's more stuff there than you can ever hope to listen to.

new MSTRKRFT album is out. Its pretty fun imo, better than I was expecting. just generally good electro, really enjoying the drums, and theres multiple times on the the album where I'm reminded of idealism by digitalism. notable tracks: Go On Without Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYMuFmVQInY Priceless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR8CYlvaczI Runaway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtICAtp3lp0

Check out Anjunadeep. They have an hour long podcast every Thursday with different folks on it. It can vary from week to week but generally speaking it's good downtempo deep house tunes. Every podcast is available on their SoundCloud. They also have compilation CDs available that you might be able to stream from Spotify. Genre names are really really nebulous and not something to spend a ton of time worrying about. There is a difference between chillout and deep house in theory but deep house isn't deep house anymore and everything is getting really heterogeneous these days. Trance is usually much faster than anything labeled "house," which typically describes medium speed groovy/funky poo poo with a specific drum pattern designed to get the listener to wiggle and move. Deep house strips back the explicit danciness. Vaporwave is its own thing I think.
