Loads I forgot, good year as ever

[Johnlenham]

Yeah Engravings is really good.

[Johoosh]

Yeah been battering the Forest Swords LP.

Gets better as it goes along i reckon

[defoxster]

Jessy Lanza is on serious rotation at the moment



Also dont know if its been mentioned but Arctic Monkeys have done a great job with their newest effort

[wolf89]

Chelsea Wolfe - Pain Is Beauty

is good if you like her. Initially I was a bit resistant to checking it as I was worried it may have been a bit more standard and not as good as her others but as a whole it's a very good record.

I agree with most of wubstep's list on this page. May have mentioned a couple myself already here though I can't remember so not going to list them again.

[kidshuffle]

PROJECT PAT - CHEEZ N DOPE 1&2

[garethom]

Haven't liked anything they've done since they forgot they were from Sheffield, not Nevada.

[deadly_habit]

Si Begg - Permission to Explode - just came out, but it's awesome and have a feeling it's going to slip under quite a few radars unfortunately

Slava - Raw Solutions - Has a bit of something for everyone, pretty damn catchy also has this really bizarre video from one of the singles


Huerco S. - Colonial Patterns - really good minimal techno

[ultraspatial]

Jessy Lanza is on serious rotation at the moment

kelela - cut 4 me. haven't been following any night slugs affiliated stuff but this is really really good
hands like houses - unimagine
machinedrum - vapor city
lung - wait less suspense
beastie response - fictitious nostalgia

[cosmic_surgeon]

I really enjoyed the E.M.M.A. album. Jahovia with the epic nostalgic refrain, echoing a time when people moaned about warbles and not brostep.

[Direflow]

SHXCXCHCXSH - STRGTHS

Marcel Dettmann - Dettmann II

These +
Markus Suckut - DNA

Drumcell - Sleep Complex

Comsin TRG - Gordian

Wasn't the biggest fan of DNA. Though there's some very mixable tracks, I just find there can be a danger with techno albums in that there's just not enough range to keep it interesting throughout. Dettmann II was great though.

[Direflow]

yeah DNA was a bit samey (i actually find most of Suckut to be a bit samey) but i still thought it was pretty good

this track on Dettmann II though



too big

[wolf89]

Big fan of this track of the album too.

[SCope13]
