The Electronic Music Thread

Local Electro / House Fidget

Elemental Music

Local producer, unsigned.

House / Fidget / Speed Garage.

Yes its me, figured you might as well have a listen.. :whistle:
 
am quite suprised that in 363 posts, there has only been 1 mention of Shpongle. For those of you who dont know, it is a duo of Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen for those of you who know your psy-trance) and Raja Ram (also involved with 1200 Mics and a bunch of other electronic gigs).

It is absolutly amazing, quite downtempo, but very varied in style and tempo. Their live performances are insane (in the region of 20 people on stage, with most of the music being live instruments, with some very interesting synths, and auto-tune). Have a look around youtube. Most notable tracks would be:

Divine Moments of Truth
My Head Feels like a frisbee
Vapour Rumors
Dorset Perception

Another interesting group is Younger Brother (Simon Posford & Benji Vaughn). Also (like Shpongle) quite a bit more chilled than the normal psy-trance, but still has some amazing tracks. Ott is also a firm favorite, with some amazing psycadelic dub beats :)

Other than that, I have gone a bit mad with the harder psy stuff. Been listening to Astral Projection, Skazi, Infected Mushroom, 1200 Micrograms

All great group/artists (especially Raja) but personally am not into psy stuff - I find more psy in other geners. ;)
 
For Pooky & co :D

Blackfilm

The term cinematic gets tossed around a great deal in the music reviewing business, especially when it comes to those genres and styles of an electronic inclination. For the most part anything appearing particularly dark, atmospheric and epic seems to get pasted with this descriptor, and much of that undeservedly so. Perhaps the right adjective at the time, in comparison to Blackfilm’s self-titled debut album, most other so-called cinematic peers fall short. This stuff simply defines cinematic. Its orchestral nuances and muffled piano (“Interference”), spectral voices and effective interlude transitions (“Eastern” and “Untitled”), among other elements, serve to elucidate this formative strategy. As the second release for young label Spectraliquid (based in Athens, Greece), “Blackfilm” reflects a promising musical direction and, more significantly, astute artist selectivity.

The disc invites its listener in with “Come & See,” an introduction to both the sound textures and strong thematic aspects that intertwine its ten compositions. “Blackfilm” brings a post-structuralist film noir quality to the forefront of pieces characterized as sweeping, ghostly, orchestral, downtempo and, of course, epic. Brilliant “Stalingrad” figures prominently in this idea; its ten-minute duration encompasses abandoned Cold War ambience and ominous post-urban illbient alike. In shorter tracks, other strengths come to prominence.

Jon Hopkins is a musical shapeshifter: a composer, pianist and a self-taught studio wizard. He makes big, bold electronic music using walls of synths, twinkling melodies and amorphous bass rumbles...

Shpongle's one of my faves as well. For some beautiful psy (ie, with melodies as opposed to overwhelming bass), check out Protoculture or the other artists with Nano Records.
 
busy downloading my pre order of the new autechre album move of ten. i hope it is good.

EDIT: it is very good. i always end up expecting another confield with every new release - but this one is strangely accessible and easier to get into.
