Totally love the EP, thanks for posting!
tacroy:
Wow, Tron album got taken down pretty fast. Along with that giant block of rules that gets reposted on every page, it's probably advisable for people not to .zip the files with the name of the actual artist and album. I'd imagine that's how these things are found.
Drill King:
So, I don't normally contribute but I thought I would toss up this album.
Two of my very good friends are part of this band(I guess they are this band, my other friends sometimes had trumpet parts and do backing parts but it is them I guess)
They regularly play music looking at subjects such as, being in love far away, being stressed, being in love, being drunk, being trapped in a body(or gender) you don't belong, being travelling and far from home. They're a folk punk band so you can expect some guitar, mandolin, singing saw, a mix between nice voices, some yelling and some nice soft vocals. It's an acoustic album so. Plus it's only 6 songs long so you might as well give it a shot.

Marco Passarini - Colliding Stars Pt. 1
Really been on a House kick these last few months. This is one of the better cuts I've picked up.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Highly rated Italian House and Techno producer Marco Passarani provides an ace EP for the Berlin-based Running Back label. 'Colliding Stars' is a prime cut of deep grooving acid house with fine '80s disco stabs, nudged and tweaked with the expertise of a true master to keep locked. The Bonus Star version heats up the '80s Boogie vibes with real slick edits approaching Soundstream territory and 'Good Split (I Like It)' jacks on a direct acid hit.

Piece of Shh - Diablo Riddim
An awful name if I've ever read one, but the music is tough and mechanical and it features a weird, Shortstuff-y garage remix from Zomby and a much harder remix from Hektagon.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Very crafty post-dubstep wrigglers from Belgradeyard Soundsystem member, Piece Of Shh... backed with deft remixes from Zomby and Hektagon. He's had a dope release out on Earsugar Beatbox and remixed Sutekh previously, but this is his first proper foray into the dubstep arena. His 'Diablo Riddim' skitters between concrete dubstep rave and squirming techno signatures, before Zomby steps in with a much less frantic and swaggering reduction of rave styles at ruffly 130bpm, and Hektagon runs harder with the febrile funk to give a canny flux of sea-sick dub-tech and raving acid strikes. Tuff & techy business.

Mark Fell - Multistability
Boomkat tends to have a weakness for overstatement, but this really is a fascinating little album. It's experimental without really being all that "out there" - every song is made up of a few clipped, repeated elements, and the majority of the musical heavy lifting comes from Fell's use of time and space within the music (see the twisting and contortion of the second track, for example). Similar in feel and temperament to Autechre's early stuff, with all of that acts late-period progressivism and only a fraction of its impenetrability. Worth a shot if you can give it some time.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---SND's Mark Fell makes a late entry for one of the electronic albums of the year with his latest solo opus: 'Multistability'. As one half of SND alongside Mat Steel and solo as 'H', Mark uncompromisingly operates on the bleeding edge of digital music production. He's in possession of a beautifully rare talent; the ability to make highly academic music with an innately Funky and dare we say, accessible, edge. He himself and many others may not agree, but there's something so listenable to his rhythmically-driven and melodically aware style that we can't help but hear him in that context. The conceit behind 'Multistability' is assuredly highbrow, referring to the notion of seeing two separate images at once, kinda like a Rubin face/vase effect. From the outset we're entangled in a meticulous mesh of ultimately chaotic, but incredibly well organised patterns and sonic topologies - essentially the result of experiments whose side-effects just happen to be the most extreme and stripped examples of digital funk imaginable. Believe it or not, Mark cites his collaborative efforts with friend and fellow musician Yasunao Tone as a major influence on these tracks, which is understandable when it comes to their constantly morphing aesthetic and deliberate intentions, but seriously, we couldn't ever imagine feeling as compelled to twitch like this when listening to a Tone CD. We'd be more inclined to compare his constructions with the fiercest UK Garage/Bassline or Footworkin' Juke, albeit filtered and reduced into the most minimal variant possible. Just imagine those hyper-concatenated rhythms zipped into more "conventional" dancefloor sounds - in a parallel universe Marcus Nasty is whipping up a hypestorm with blends of 'Multistability' and the latest Pantha dubplate. However, as the label correctly states, 'Multistability' should be understood in light of Fell's claim that "Music is a technology for constructing an experience of time", which really sums this album up more succinctly than we ever could, while leaving his whole oeuvre brilliantly unresolved and open to the wildest interpretations. We're not using this lightly - ESSENTIAL!-

Taz - Gold Tooth Grin
Numbers is one of several new labels on a hotstreak this year. "Gold Tooth Grin" is a mind-blower of a party track, like Starkey on HGH on a good day. Look out, Night Slugs.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Eight releases down, Numbers drop the anthemic 'Goldtooth Grin' from Glasgow's dubstep rotter, Taz Buckfaster. The lead cut has been in circulation for over 12 months with those in the know, charted highly by Gernot Modeselektor as far back as 2009 and featuring regularly in the sets of Jackmaster and his numerous numbers affiliates. Basically if you're into the most melodic, melancholy and crunked-out end of Joker, Starkey or Girl Unit this is an absolute baller. 'Robogrime' follows on a ramped-up instrumental electro-Grime tip for the DJs, while 'Strike First' licks out a warped bass sounding like Azzido Da Bass's 'Dooms Night' inna 'ardcore ruffige style. Tipped!

Chris & Cosey - Allotropy
C&C in their prime... Nothing more to say really. Dark, seminal stuff. It looks like their entire discography (give or take) has been put up on Boomkat so soon I should have high-quality versions of the stuff they did in collab with Coil and the like.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Available on download for the first time, this is C&C's 1985 production, originally commissioned by Jan Smith-Merritt and Stephen Hill's Alllotrophy Exhibition to accompany their performance art video of the same name. As you cans see, the composition moves through five stages, each getting progressively darker , especially from the third section when Cosey's vocals take root in a toxic bed of Carpenter-esque wasteland sci-fi synths, and certainly the two incredible proto-ambient drone tracks which follow. Very cinematic stuff, recommended to fans of Vangelis, Carpenter, or Coil.

Anthony "Shake" Shakir - Frictionalism 1994-2009 Remixes Pt. 1/2 (FaltyDL / Space Dimension Controller)
Is what it says on the label... You probably already know the styles of the two remixers (if you haven't, search for them, I'm sure to have put up a few things by each), so you know roughly what to expect here, putting their personal spins on Shake's rock-solid Detroit sound.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---OH YES!!! Serious remix session from Falty DL and Space Dimension Controller, extending the legacy of Detroit auteur, Anthony Shakir. The Space Dimension Contoller remix of 'Detroit State Of mind' has just totally blown us away, twisting the original elements with incredible programming dexterity to drop a dipping, jacking and outstanding revision pitted with killer triplet fills and overlarge square-bass vamps, truly doing service to the original material. On the flip, another man-of-the-moment (or even year!) aka FaltyDL, remakes 'Assimilated', sticking with the original's louche mid-tempo pace for a faithful yet dubbed out and squidgy revision. Keep an eye out for the forthcoming MRSK and Skudge remix session, but in the meantime fill yer boots with these badboys!

Mark Krupp - Light Anthem
A little bit on the more traditionally house-y side, for L2S anyway. Still sterling.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Rudeboy 4/4 Garage and House riddims from Mark Krupp for L2S. 'Light Anthem' borrows a few tricks from Armand van Helden's late '90s handbook, while 'Badman In Chicago' pushes a funkier, boomptier 4/4 sound with warping bass and Dancehall samples. Tuff.

Jack Dixon - Substitute EP
Pitch-perfect examples of the sort of rave-friendly post-dubstep that Joy Orbison popularized last year and folks like Sepalcure continue on in the present. If you like that (you probably do) give this a spin.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---After cool releases from Nguzunguzu, Ultravid and Lorenzo Victor, the future garage sound of Jack Dixon is presented to the world, backed with remixes from The Phantom, Damo, Cairo, and Swarms. His original tracks ball between clean and crisp shades of Garage, Fidget and Funky, while The Phantom takes 'I Let You' to R&B-fired Funky terrain. Damo remakes the original as a featherweight tribal skipper, while Daily impresses with a vastly spacious darkside rollers remake of 'Stay'. Tipped for fans of Submerse, XXXY or Pangaea.

Gerry Read - Patterns EP
I've had extensive correspondence with the guy who runs the fledgling Dark Arx imprint and his taste is pretty good - This is only his third release, a subdued and moody little Garage / Techno set, like Instra:Mental crossed with Peverelist. Gets a little rave-y in the third track, which I'm certainly not complaining about.

Architeq - Into the Cosmos EP
Impeccably produced and polished, self-assured electronic funk, more organic than your Dam Funks or Space Dimension Controllers (or even Luke Viberts) but none the worse for it. More instrumental than electronic at times.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Architeq and Tirk have one final fling for 2010, peppered with revisions from Dan Lissvik and Mr Beatnik. The former flips 'Odyssey' into a beach-ready slap-bass strutter, while the latter reworks the title track into a stoned electrodub shuffle. Architeq's original stitches up fonky rhodes and dubbed out melodica in his frayed and freaky slowdisco style while 'Halloween Acid' sounds like Luke Vibert on valium. Recommended.
