Electronica/Dance

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Yeah the price is ridiculous, think if I was of the mind to go out over the Xmas period it would either be on the 1st of 2nd, far fewer part timers so lots more space to dance, plus you don't have to spend a small fortune to get in everywhere.

[Untz]

I bloody hate New Year, but if I don't overdose on cocktail sausages and cheap champagne I might head to Jaded on NYD for some daytime dancing.

Any of you lucky people going to Fabric for NYE? The line up is as good as I've seen in a long time, would be a tremendous night if I weren't 400 miles away 

I'm working, plus I generally try to avoid going out on NYE these days, but I do agree that the Fabric night looks ace. I'm actually a Fabric member and regularly travel to London to get my techno fix. Great club!

Went there for the first time the other week, my first time experiencing house and techno in a nightclub setting. Loco Dice was on and also DVS1. Wonderful, wonderful night. The speakers on the floor meant that I could feel the music go right through my body. Took my techno & house obsession to another level.

for NYE I think I'd be going for Corsica - Roman Flugel and Midland, two of my favourites. Studio Spaces is strong too. Has anyone been to shapes for a night? I've been for a gig and it was shit. Opinions would be lovely - but £30 for a tiny warehouse on NYE, nah.

NYD Studio Spaces night is fucking excellent: Talabot, Boman, Move D, Ame, Jeremy Underground, then Fett Burger at Dance Tunnel, DJ Sprinkles + Young Marco at Phonox

Talabot is playing subclub on NYE and Kerri Chandler takeover on NYD, could be a messy start to the new year

I went to Shapes and thought it was awesome, but then I was watching an intimate Bonobo dj set so I could've been anywhere and loved it.

 

Speaking of which, anyone else going to Bonobo's Outlier event at Tobacco Docks in March?  He's just announced initial lineup

I'm definitely going to Kerri Chandler, not sure about NYE though, getting home and all that entails is an effort, and I'l see Talabot at the warehouse with Jungle in a couple of weeks 

[Tuna]

fair, Kerri Chandler is always a party

 

didn't get presale tickets to that Bonobo thing, but Kiasmos is enticing, Hodge too I suppose, otherwise it's not done a huge amount for me

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

That Bonobo night looks alright, would like to see Lone and Special Request, but just looked at the current price of tickets, ouch! Have to hope they spend a hell of a lot on the staging of the thing to warrant the cost.

[Cieran]

London is far too expensive for me to get down to for NYE or NYD. I'll be heading to Canal Mills for Nina Kravis, John Talabot, Bicep and Midland on NYD.

What's everyone's favourite electronica/dance type albums of the year then?

Ones that spring to mind for me:

Floating Points- Elaenia

Jamie xx- In Colour

Anthony Naples- Body Pill

Levon Vincent- Levon Vincent

Holly Herndon- Platform

[Mezhyp1]

George FitzGerald - Fading Love is definitely the one for me this year, absolutely fantastic record, closely followed by Floating Points, but I've only recently got j to that 

[Time Being]

Agreed with the George Fitzgerald album. Listened to that so much this year, especially over the summer. Liking the Floating Points album too but other than that hoping to learn about some LP's that I missed this year...

[OBface]

Floating Points and George Fitzgerald are the stand outs for me.

Track wise Four Tet's mix of Leave No Trace and Bicep - Just

Sure there's others. Very quickly off the top of my head.

That Four Tet mix is a banger, absolutely brilliant 

album wise an honourable mention to Kölsch for 1983, brilliantly rounded record 

track wise, it's predictable, but Hot Chips remix of Queen of Peace was on repeat in my house for weeks, belter

[FuzzyDunlop]

Track wise in no order, just off the top of my head:

Open Eye Signal   (George Fitzgerald mix) - Jon Hopkins

Out of Line - Trente Cantrelle

Opus - Eric Prydz

Independence (Stephan barnem mix) - Agoria 

Blacklight - Kaiserdisco

Twilight Zone - Daniel Stefanik

 

And a tune or remix by Harvey McKay which escspes me!! I just can't remember the name.

 

[Mezhyp1]

Katy B is doing a project called Honey, where's she's going to be working with 'exciting' producers to make some records, first one has dropped this morning 

https://soundcloud.com/rinsefm/katyb-x-four-tet-x-floating-points-calm-down

Four Tet x Floating Points is definitely a scripture for something great 

I don't think Katy B makes the record any worse, but I'd actually like to hear it without Katy B, see what it's really all about

Few albums I've been listening to this year: 

Fort Romeau - Insides

Hudson Mohawke - Lanterns

Rabit - Communion 

Four Tet - Morning/Evening 

Jamie xx - In Colour

 

Going to be getting hold of the Arca, Floating Points and Oneohtrix Point Never albums with the inevitable glut of iTunes vouchers I get for Christmas.

 

Too many tracks to list, Mssingno has released a few bangers, the new Anohni track is amazing and the recent Marquis Hawkes ep has been on heavy rotation too.

Did you like the Hud Mo album? I thought it was good but I've a few mates who were big fans and were pretty underwhelmed, he's playing in Glasgow tomorrow night, I don't have a ticket, but I may go along if I'm feeling the spur of the moment

Yeah was a touch underwhelmed myself but enjoyed it nonetheless, got some great moments in it.

I saw him live last night in London, the live show is brilliant, loads of older tracks and the support act littlebabyangel was pretty decent too, definitely recommend it 

[Mezhyp1]

Might well go along, cheers Matt

 

Have any of you ever been to Bloc? The line up is tremendous this year, but it's in minehead butlins? Would like to hear about it before I committed to anything

Been to East Bloc on Old Street. Not quite sure that's what you were after, but you can't beat a good gay club.
