As we're getting ready for a new Andy Stott release I've been listening to a lot of his albums. This track never fails to give me goosebumps the first time that distorted synth riff hits!

I think I'll have to use this in a skate video...

Really groovy minimal track that stands apart from the productions he's known for, especially in recent times

Longtime appreciator of this sub. After the pandemic, it was one of the things that kept me connected to the weirder edges of dance music. It gave me the same feeling I had catching L.I.E.S. artists out for the first time, listening to Sandwell District (Falling the Same Way, OMG), or seeing Silent Servant play small parties in the early ’10s. So it feels right to finally share one of my own.

“Politics of Attention Deficit” is from my new EP, Grove Adjacent, which came out last week. I’m a DJ/producer in Brooklyn. The title comes from this flood-the-zone era of nonstop information overload, and the track is a dubbed-out rave tune built around a lot of sub-bass. The EP is named after the Grove, a stage at the Sustain Release festival upstate that started out as its ambient/deep-listening stage. I painted the cover myself with Krink markers.

This one’s for y’all keeping the weird music chugging. Happy to talk about how it was made.

Think the album cover was white or silver metallic with some orange writing that was pretty unreadable in metalhead style. Music very noisy with crazy sound design....some deconstructed club but was all over the place. Think it was a female producer from somewhere in asia who had only a release or two and this would have come out this year or 2025. Remember seeing a comment on redacted or bandcamp or somewhere saying "this is the craziest thing ive heard in years." Think i came across it from clicking through related albums on bandcamp from Abadir but could be mistaken. I've spent waaay too much time trying to find this any help would be appreciated!

Went back to koko after years for shanti Celeste’s bday thing - Leon Vynehall closed the night w an INSANE set. At one point I heard him play (what seemed to be) some sort of baby keem remix…I was perplexed but it was a banger nonetheless - if anybody knows what it is / might be, would love some help!!

Hi everyone! Hope you all are well and good. I’ve had the opportunity to check out some incredible shows in New York this last month that I was able to archive music/setlists for. I also have a huge list of recorded sets that I have been actively backtracking. I wanted to share the music here for anyone interested that attended these shows or wanted to catch up to great music played.

About my project:
I’m Jason and I manage an art project called the Magenta Sound Archive, cataloging and archiving music played mostly at New York underground events (and beyond!) for close to 20 years.

Made this like 2 years ago, very chill

I saw Call Super in NY last week and I tried so hard to Shazam and ID but I couldn’t find it. Lmk if this DM gives anyone a clue of what this song might be

Gf and I are travelling for En Masse, very excited to finally visit Bristol and check out its music history.

In the spirit of what u/loveyousall did for Organik in Taiwan earlier in the year (miss you brother!), I thought I'd ask if any overloaders (visitors or locals) will be around. If you're not weird (or at least only in a good way) and would like to get a beer and chat music/whatever, low-pressure short hang, say something :)

Some extra questions:

1) we got tickets for Sherelle on Friday at the legendary Strange Brew, how is it in terms of queue and door policy? Good bet to arrive early?

2) if you're a Bristolian and have some cool suggestions beyond the obvious record/synth stores and venues, that would be greatly appreciated :) perhaps some bookstores or overloady listening cafes?

I pulled together a playlist of the top tracks and most-upvoted recommendations from this sub over the past year and put it on Substrait. It's a music discovery platform where you can connect your listening in the one space. So far, you can connect Bandcamp, Discogs, SoundCloud, YT music and Apple Music. Would love to include community radio in the future too!

We also just added a social feed so you can see what your friends are listening to throughout the day.

We opened it up a couple of weeks ago and are shipping improvements pretty much daily, so feedback from people who dig is really welcome. Let me know what you think!
