We are coming towards the first quarter of the year and I feel out of the loop with electronic music so far.

The only thing I can think of so far is M83.

I just heard this remix of Panda Bears "Cumfy In Nautica" form XXXChange.

Does anyone have this song and willing to up it?


Does anyone know any blogs for electronic music?

I'm looking for anything at this point.




:D

I just noticed Moby's new record just leaked.

Should I be excited about this?

XLR8R review:

Sascha Funke
Mango
BPitch Control
Techno
8.5/10

Somewhere between dancefloor utility, lazy-time pop music, and an audiophile’s workout lies the perfect techno album. Sascha Funke’s Mango, the Berliner’s first long-player in four years, is almost that album. Indeed, Mango reaffirms Funke as a current master of the minimal techno form but, more than that, it affirms that the genre still has much more going for it than just its benchmark thup. Granted, Mango’s a bit more slippery–and moody and sexy and Euro–about the style’s tropes than Supermayer’s super-minimal-cum-electro-pop/rock effort Save the World, but the grooves here are at once ad-friendly and wonderfully deft diagrams of dance-music osmosis; elaborate sketches that showcase Funke’s talent for bleeding pop into even the most by-the-books minimalism.

At times, Mango just feels like an incredibly somnolent rock record, something Morr Music might deliver in a particularly ballsy release cycle; in other spots, it’s full of blinds-shut, bell-toned–oh, how he loves that sound–brooding ambience. Of course, there are plenty of Funke micro beats, perfectly placed, always developing in some way, like compass points leading from a wet winter street into the club that never sleeps yet never really pulls out of its dream state.

The sly and alluring “Feather” drapes itself on you in 40 seconds of warm, clean synth tone, approaching and receding in a sort of aural ellipse. A couple of gentle electric guitar notes introduce what sounds like a iron-cast, reverbed hand drum, itself receding and approaching, receding and approaching. Bits of metallic musique concrète and other warmer sounds offer themselves with similar push-pull tension and, about three minutes in, you’re at the center of a solar system that Funke has set in motion around you, its gravity the tiniest bed of dwarfish kick drums.

Some tracks on Mango are less crafty about setting that disorienting mood, instead diverging into straight ambient. “Summer Rain,” as the title implies, is a tad hokey and sentimental; all sampled rain falling on sampled piano and sampled harp, it barely saves itself in deep-space mega-delayed synths, so over-the-top and cheesed-out it feels like Funke is probably laughing to himself. The similarly beat-stripped closer is all descending, funereal tones with erstwhile Funke vocalist Fritz Kalkbrenner reciting, “The revolution won’t be televised/Won’t be live/Won’t happen at all” over the top in a voice so drawn and monotone, you can hear him winking.

You also know he’s winking because you’ve just been listening to what, in the end, is a monumental dance record, insofar as it’s one that could lure you to sleep. It never bangs, but it never needs to. “Chemin des Figons,” the album’s “rock” song, moves itself along on a sampled snare and cymbal which drop out just barely long enough to catch you dancing to the umpteenth repetition of the same hypnotic guitar line (courtesy of M.I.A. guitarist Tim Tim).

Other songs here are far more straightforward. The title track–though it introduces a beat pattern bordering on tribal–stays strictly minimal, while “Lotre (Mehr Fleisch)” is propelled by the sharpest kick drum on the album. Never mind its signature ethereal bell tones, Mango’s most obvious 12”, “Double-Checked,” captures almost everything about what makes this record stellar: It’s a dense, just-fast-enough-to-be-house package of nearly colliding kicks, handclaps, and hi-hats crafted for listening, dancing, and sleepwalking.

What is this "ectroinic" of which you speak, some new genre?

No.

I actually liked Play, but have since had it played to death for me, so am over it.

Have not liked his more vocal leanings since then so much.

But his bassist is hot.

All it allows me to do is play the mp3.

You got a title for this one?
That Sascha Funke was quite good.

Oh...and I'll still give Moby a chance, I liked his Play era stuff just fine. No, not as revolutionary or groundbreaking as some of the fawning made it out to be, but some really good songs that were interesting and the album held up well. I tend to think the haters hate the hype and the commercial selling off of all the songs more than the music itself on that one. I did think his last one was awful. But, you never know when someone who's made good records before will pop back with something good, so I'll at least give something he puts out a listen.

a mac should be pretty much the same... except since there is no right button use the "ctrl"-click method.

good "indie" electronic albums so far:
hot chip - made in the dark (supermayer's remix of "one pure thought" kicks ass)
cut copy - in ghost colours

minimal techno:
sascha funke - mango
ellen allien has a new boogybytes mix - it's alright, she's a better producer than dj
prosumer & murat tepeli - serenity
booka shade is coming out with a new album later this year - in the meantime, check out the plantary/city tales ep

disco dub/whatever you want to call it:
hercules & love affair - s/t (also really digging their remix of goldfrapp's "a&e")
still going - still going ep
(not really anything new sounding, it's just a re-hash of disco house catered to the dfa types)

good sources for electronic music:
resident advisor - definitely check out the podcasts
earplug
