downtempo electronic/bleepy/acid

Still lovin this:

If it’s 303s, then Hardfloor need mentioning. They did stuff under the name Dadamnphreknoizephunk, which is nearly all made on 303s, as always for them, but is more laidback with breaks rather than being acid. I’ve only got this one EP… https://www.discogs.com/release/929-Hardfloor-Presents-Dadamnphreaknoizphunk-Volume-2

Closer to home a 90’s classic you have to put on is Digital Justice’s “Theme From It’s All Gone Pearshaped.” It’s a live 303 jam, just like we used to listen to in the chill out room. People forget that 303s enabled this kind of electronic music to be live and improvised… and common place. https://www.discogs.com/release/1135517-Digital-Justice-Its-All-Gone-Pear-Shaped

I’ll dig out videos later.

Don’t know how low and slow you want to go, but this is a great album.

We saw a lad called Arms and Sleepers supporting Hidden Orchestra a few weeks back, he is now on firm rotation in the house. And seeing as I don’t think anyone mentioned them, Hidden Orchestra as well!

@eskay. Loving that om unit album. Didn’t know he’d done a downtempo. Do love that dub techno acid sound

Forgot this one, but I absolutely love it. Speedy J and George Issakidis podcast from about 2009ish, down in the murk and sludge of 105bpm techno.

Deep, acidy, slightly unsettling bad trip vibes, would make an amazing film soundtrack

@trickydisco – good isn’t it, he has done a couple of follow up albums (versions 1 & 2). He is from our neck of the woods as well.

@doris5000 – That is great!

This is a really nice mix towards the slower end of Acid

Sent this to a mate who loves this stuff. He said this should be on here:

Autechre Warp Tapes (how do you embed a YouTube?)

None of the above genres, but Techno is a close cousin right? And any excuse for Techno….

Anything by Luke Vibert obvs

Met him in a club once, he was over the moon cos he’d found a mint 12″ green vinyl copy of Pac Jam by Jonzun Crew, nice guy

Down tempo is all very well but…..

Ok, down tempo this time…. I might finally be on the right page

#grimep thank you for posting Autechre Warp tapes. That’s been the best two hours of my day, brilliant sounds 🤩

You’re very welcome, I much prefer their older stuff so it was a real treat when I found it

bit of a tangent sorry

Q – Mental Cube – was on the first Breaks Bass & Bleeps compilation  (I had on tape). As was this

Hypnotist, Tune!

I got into FSOL without realising that Stakker Humanoid guy was Mental Cube guy was FSOL guy, took me years to realise

Just going back through this thread, I see a few old faves

Speaking of mid 90s greats, here’s one of the high points for me, just because no-one has posted it yet:
https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/clipper

Think that’s my favourite one of theirs too, played it endlessly

Name dropping, Mark Bell from LFO once offered to loan me his TR-808 as I’d done him a favour, but I was worried about how/when I’d have to get it back to him so didn’t take him up – added to my list of life’s great regrets…. sent me a signed cassette instead.

Spanners, another firm fave, still got pretty much all of their stuff apart from this one, but at least there’s YouTube- I always forget how good Blast Off is:->

Probably more techno than acid, but check out platipus records..

Also this..soo many classics..

Or for something a bit more jazzy/chill out..

Agreed, that’s flippin great. Had it on a loop all afternoon at work yesterday.

Brilliant though they undoubtedly are, Basic Channel records surely cannot be described as downtempo!

The Guvnor put his name to a load of things that probably fit this thread title better, but I never tire of this:

Pye Corner Audio, very reminiscent of Plastikman back in the 90’s before Hawtin disappeared up his own arse, his recent two ep’s are essential listening

​https://youtu.be/ioN-1s0vy9U?si=IlAp4QlCmX43KJX-

Caught this track on a four tet lot radio mix i found. Stormer of a track. Acid goodness

Not really downtempo but figured this was the only music thread to post it in.

Enfant Sauvage : 58500, sometimes a track just makes you feel happy and contented, and this is one of those tracks.

And for a slightly different take, here is Daniel Avery’s remix of it.

Love that Roy of the Ravers track @trickydisco!

Nice downtempo live set, gets pretty dark and hard, nice pace though.

(24) Andy Stott Boiler Room London Live Set – YouTube

Love a bit of Andy Stott, his “We Come Together” album is excellent

Agree @somafunk! Hes seriously talented, shame he doesn’t play live very often. I saw him Glasgow about 10-years ago but not sure if he’s been up since.
