downtempo electronic/bleepy/acid

Noticed we’ve had Techno Tues which i fully support. it got me thinking about more downtempo electronic music I love .

(i’m mostly still stuck in the 90’s)

Here’s a small selection from my favourites

Totally obsessed with this tune at the moment

What are your favroutie downtemp electronic/bleepy/atmospheric kinda tunes?

Boards of Canada are on constant rotation in our house

Principles of Geometry also feature highly

Sleep D Live at the Fairfield Amphitheatre

Theres some previously unreleased FSOL ‘Accelerator’ era bits due out soon.

Where do I start?

Craven Faults – gives every impression of being an old skool raver, now working at much lower tempos. This is my favourite of his, in particular track 3, Weets Gate

James Holden – the Inheritors

I honestly think this is one of the few more recent albums that can hold up to the mid 90s electronica greats. Holden did another album this year which is good too, but this is the one for me

Speaking of mid 90s greats, here’s one of the high points for me, just because no-one has posted it yet:

Anthony Naples – Take Me With You is an album that makes me wish I was still of an age to be finding myself slightly discombobulated in a stranger’s living room at 5am. It drifts through space, constantly making you think it’s gonna head off into some clubby beats, before making a sharp turn into something else entirely. Ace fun

No idea who this is by, on Ilian tape, but if you like detroity 90s melodic ambient / electro, this is for you:

https://iliantape.bandcamp.com/album/itx022-mpu101

I think this is my favourite mix of the year. Bit retro, mid-tempo, synthy-electro-krautrocky and minimal.

Was perfect for driving across France, and would probably be awesome at an afterparty too, if I still did that kind of thing.

Anyone else notice that Hawtin re-released his very rare Concept 1 series on bandcamp? Some proper deep gear here. Not really techno, but an obvious marker point for how he got from the dancefloor stuff on Musik to the absolute chasms of Consumed:

One more and then I’ll stop. Cong Burn tape 10, by Howes. Slow, weird, chugging techno that gradually undergoes a complete dissolution into almost nothing. One of my favourite releases of the last 5 years:

Sleep D Live at the Fairfield Amphitheatre

Many many times yes! Completely obsessed with that EP! Not one you expect many people to have come across!

Pretty much anything in the Weatherall/Johnson ALFOS oeuvre fits this description.

“Anthony Naples – Take Me With You”

I’m trying to listen to this in the office but it deserves a lot more attention than I can give it.  Bookmarked for another time.

Thread starts with what is to me possibly the greatest electronic track ever made (Simon From Sydney). *applause*

Thread title made me hear this, then spend 10 mins trying to remember the name of it

I think I will enjoy the links here.

Couple of newies if anyone fancies such a thing

Thread starts with what is to me possibly the greatest electronic track ever made (Simon From Sydney). *applause*M

yes yes! its a stormer. . Was thinking today its probably my favourite electornic album

I also love this one. W

Would love to hear these tracks on some massive system with loads of bass

Thread title made me hear this, then spend 10 mins trying to remember the name of it

This is great. Haven’t heard this before

There’s a playlist on Amazon Music called Hypnotic and Melodic. I listen to that a lot.

One more and then I’ll stop. Cong Burn tape 10, by Howes. Slow, weird, chugging techno that gradually undergoes a complete dissolution into almost nothing. One of my favourite releases of the last 5 years

This is great. THanks for the share. Pretty cheap considering

Thanks for this thread, loads of great tunes- some I know already and plenty of stuff that’s new to me!

Here’s another good one…

Yeah, thanks for this, I can’t really add anything but it’s spot on for me at the moment. I love Boards, James Holden etc, any similar musical threads are much appreciated

Quite like this, just need to errrmmm completely ignore the anti-covid/vax/lockdown/whatever theme running through the song titles 😉

Looking forward to listening to this lot later – a few to throw out as well. I think I’ve been waiting for a new BoC album for longer than a new STW Forum 🙁

Odyssey – Rival Consoles

Arterial – Lusine

Ultra Truth – Daniel Avery

The Lisbon Maru – F Buttons

Approves of thepurist’s selections. The new Lusine album, Long Light is a beauty (features singing!)

Also on an almost classical tip is Rone (not the forum member!) “L(oo)ping” – I bought the CD so I can listen all in one go

or, if you want the full hour

Mr Mitch’s awfully named alter ego DJ Cuddles’ new stuff is nice n bleepy

This is recent and the album is stunning, possibly my favourite of the year.

This is older, but the album for me is reminiscent of everything that made Warp Records special. Unique 🙂

Definitely on he downtempo side of things

Yesterday at work Windows Media Player made an excellent 45 minute downtempo electronic/bleepy/acid shuffle through some of my MP3 collections.

Tbh, anything from this is pretty stellar:

I love quite a lot of this stuff

coming outta sunny East Kilbride//Check out the whole label in fact if you like downtempo bleeps, ..Pub rules

Downtempo, maybe not 303 bleepy:

Some bleeps:

An associate used to perform under the moniker ‘dj slackarse’.

When the crowd wasn’t dancing on the tables, they’d go nuts for this:

And anything by ‘Loop Guru’ should be pretty chilled.

Album of electronica/bleepy/ambient/slightly weird stuff that I did a couple of years ago. Free to download of you wish.
