Odd how there used to be so much activity in this thread... it's not like the scene has slowed down any. Kinda makes me wish we could fast forward to that 20,000th post in order to get a new thread going in order to (hopefully) generate some heat.

Anyway, a few things I've been playing at work quite a bit lately

Andrea - Outlines
Adalberto - Toolbox
Sotofett & Pender Street Steppers - Trushmix 70
Last week's Beats In Space mixes with Andy Butler and Tim Sweeney

Jumpin' back to the late '90s with 16B's Sounds From Another Room and LFO - Advance

also trying to decide if that Sa-Pa is worth the excitement that was surrounding its release. I like it but I don't love it.

Saw Disclosure the other night (who killed it really) and Claude Vonstroke. Who was also awesome. Dug into his tracklist and now I'm going through some DirtyBird releases. Kill Frenzy's album is awesome.

I am in a cultural wasteland and only get localized refreshers when I visit the west cost so most of my exposure comes from the accounts I follow on Soundcloud. Also all of the wonderful things you fantastic folks share through links. I discovered Dirty Bird through Shiba San and I like that kind of material. It's fun and funky and can step into aggressive territory but not what I would call deep or dark necessarily. Definitely more dance oriented than chill and contemplate oriented.

I am just in love with techno and tech house ever since I experienced it first hand last fall. Really fantastic, I love the soundscapes and the rhythms, it always feels like it allows me to hear things in my own head that aren't really there. The composition is very "suggestive" in that way. I kind of feel like all the hype from the "big room house" scene has switched to "deep house" and a lot of that is starting to sound too samey to me, at least in regards to "melodic deep house" ughh whatever with the female vox already, I'm over it before I even hear it.

Speaking of, does anyone know what the pitch shifted male vocal theme originated with? You know, the "god voice" they always use on vocal spoken word samples? I am assuming it is thematically beyond electronic music and predated in film or some other medium but I would still like to know more of the history of this application. It always reminds me of the modulation that occurs to your vocal chords when you inhale a specific gas.

I'm really tired of this hippie happy house trip hop phase that HNNY is in. I need more bangers like No and Exactly and Sneeze.

So, I've been writing up all the albums I've loved/really liked during 2015 before all the "best of" discussions and rankings pop up, and I just realized this year's utterly stacked and it'll be a major pain in the ass to actually do any type of rating. This year has been truly massive, perhaps the best one I've experienced in my life.

Figured I'd do a text dump of everything I've liked so far to give you others some hints No sorting has been done, but the closest thing might be release-date wise since I've often just appended album names by the latest released one. Do note that most of it is heavily techno-focused. I also don't list any compilations, and there has been some amazing ones released this year.

Richie Hawtin has surprise-dropped his new album, From My Mind To Yours, and essentially revived most of his old aliases (Plastikman, Childsplay, FUSE, Circuit Breaker, 80xx, etc.). It's surprisingly great!

I have to admit that I was pretty stunned by this record. Richie hasn't really done it for me in a long time. Lots of Detroit sound on this album. Really enjoying it.

Has Bobby Champs died or something? Gave up on music? He's been gone for like 3 years and stopped tweeting in march. His couple of EPs are awesome.
