What are you listening to?

Tonight my gf brought me to the opera to watch "Nutcracker" ballet. First time ever I see such thing. It was absolutely magnificent ! I've been really impressed !

It’s wonderful you mention that, as it’s December, I like Tchaikovsky and yet I’ve never heard The Nutcracker in its entirety. Now I’m gonna correct that soon.

The thing is, I bet you already know 4 or 5 parts of the Nutcracker !

I was really amazed by the fact that these theme are a part of our common culture…
I was nosing around for stuff to sample, and happened upon this. Powerful stuff.

Kneebody & Daedelus -

Kneebody is awesome (great live), and Kneebody plus Daedelus = super awesome.

Just found this:

Unusual Amiga/C64 chiptunes and very weird, very good lo-fi electronic stuff that’s not quite categorizable for me.

Big up yourself @Gambler

I’m checking this for the nth time. It’s so good. Straight after that I went to his live Boiler Room set in Moscow. I love the intro tune! Especially after watching this (http://youtu.be/D17awHFwM1Q) documentary entowhich he unfolds details about the struggles and going with the flow… I think he has now found his niche… Here it is!

Dick Hyman on his Moog Modular and a piano with a piece called improvisation in G Major… Enjoy :slight_smile:

I’ve been hitting the end of year lists for all those albums of 2015 I missed out on.


My fave albums that I bought this year are:
  • Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell
  • Bjork - Vulnicura
  • Tame Impala - Currents (can’t get that one out of my head at the moment!)
  • Kamasi Washington - The Epic
  • Grimes - Art Angels
  • Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly

Chester Watson’s Tin Wooki was my favorite album this year (but it was made in 2014).


Now I’ve been listening so many obscure artists of the YouTube/Soundcloud/Bandcamp that any international production / Pitchfork suggestion sounds kind of weird in my ear ^^
Weird like… too produced maybe. Or not experimental enough…

Oh, and I spent a lot of time digging in the past (AFX + first warp records, early minimal / dub techno…)
My culture in electronic music is still to be done, but it’s getting better ^^
My fave albums that I bought this year are:

  • Grimes - Art Angels
  • Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly

All great! I’m telling you man, that Tame Impala album seriously burrows right into your brain like crazy.

I would add these:

Dan Deacon - Gliss Riffer
Oneohtirx Point Never - Garden of Delete
Disasterpeace - It Follows OST
Julia Holter - Have you in my Wilderness (so lovely!)


Katie Dey - asdfasdf
Eartheater - Metalepsis

                        </div></div><br>

Thanks for those extra recommendations @wingo. I was in Rough Trade today and now I’m kicking myself for not picking up the Julia Holter. Nevermind, next time!

Dan Deacon, yes! My album of the year, that guy rocks.

Just magical, thanks for the link.

Magical - I couldn’t agree more! I’ve listened to this piece countless times throughout the entirety of this year. I feel blessed for finding it and even happier that I could share it :slight_smile:

Wa Do Dem !

Listening to “Dumb Flesh” by Blanck Mass a lot recently. A fantastic album. This track especially reminds me of a darker, more nihilistic version of Depeche Mode…

I guess that i'm a outsider here on this site, because i like to listen to some harder songs. First a 'soft' track:
