My top tunes of 2009
Lowtec - Angstrom EP
Long, hypnotic and of uncertain mood.
dOP - Dein Verlangen; The Genius of the Crowd; Change!A Various ep
Basically, last year they could do no wrong. The unassailable charm of the French.
Starkey - Miracles Jamie Vexd remix
Pure synaesthesia, a head banging, bass worrying earworm
Brackles - LHC
Wayward synth action, more bass and a soul diva laments. This and Miracles are the dubstep fruit I've been waiting to get my teeth into.
Pangaea - Memories
Another wailing RNB lament with skippity bass. And I'm off.
Hieroglyphic Being -So much noise to be heard
Oh, baby I like it raw and Jamal delivers as usual.Machine music handed down by the gods.
Hauntologists - EP2
Loping, hermetic excursions
Bodycode -What did you say
It's the Imitation Lover dub that does it-all his distinctive sounds roughened up and leavened with melancholy
Jimi Tenor - Selfish Gene
An ageing bachelor tells it like it is.
Oni Ayhun 03
Techno steeped in the early 90s which neatly sidesteps nostalgia.Don't ask me how they do that.
Omar S
My introduction to him-like Autechre discovering a big button marked JACK.

At the last ever redroom party, which was on Saturday night, we tried out the maximalism of Pangaea and Starkey - thoroughly engaging, but tune of the night went to Shackleton - seems like Berlin is giving him a lot of headspace.
ReplyDeleteThe last ever redroom party. It beggars belief. London will never be the same for me again.
ReplyDeleteWhich Shackleton? Seems appropriate-famous explorer and all, setting off into the icy wastes...oops!
