Instead of having multiple posts about upcoming releases for this year, lets be organized like before and post everything in here. Post your favorite songs, albums, videos, or arguments about the genre. Make sure its only about 2012. Thanks beat heads!

I guess ill be the first and start off the year with Demdike Stare's Elemental. Havent heard it but its a 4 vinyl, 2 cd release on Modern Love. Going by last years triple goodness of Triptych, this should be just as mesmerizing and hypnotic!

Also of course Hectic Zeniths :

Eric def. has some joints. The album cover alone does it for me.

yep in heavy rotation since it dropped, synth/pad heavy mood music...some straight up bangers thrown in there for good measure too.

Wow in love with that Stars & Lights beat...

can't find it anywhere though....going to have to buy it then. stuff is good.

Some drum n bass in it, what do yall think?

signature pose.

i'll let you know this week or next, but it's outtakes from vibert's '90s output, which was really good. i have the U.S. 2-disc set of the album and EPs. these outtakes are supposed to be more of the same quality.

cool Austin

>cool Austin

btw, Back On Time re-worked PE's Brothas gonna work it out!

signature pose.

fans won't be disappointed, and newcomers will find some quality, inventive drum 'n' bass

i can't help but hope that veteran artists releasing albums of vault material becomes a trend

i think it's the "woo!" and drone-y sound

Thanks for alerting me to this and nice to see dnb getting some recognition here. I am a huge fan of Plug. In my opinion, Drum & Bass for Papa and Black Secret Technology were both miles ahead of Goldie's Timeless, despite not getting the same recognition. Look forward to hearing this new release!

My electronic albums of 2012 would be:

SPY - What the Future Holds (bringing him to my city in January!)
Four Tet - Pink
High Contrast - Agony & Ecstasy (i liked it more than most people do)
Atlantic Connection - Love Architect (a bit of a disappointment, but still some nice tracks within)
Command Strange - every single release has been solid from this kid

enjoying this reissue immensely and not just because it was good for its time but because it's good, period

It really is a good album. My only gripe is that on cd you have 4 tracks so its hard sometimes to find or fast forward/rewind to your favorite part. That aside, another win for AE.

i think the original release was meant to be listened to as a whole or at least a vinyl side and not in a bunch of little segments... some of these aren't really refined ideas, at least in the sense their music came to be known by, so it's like a beat tape (lesson ears perk up). at least there are 4 tracks, the last 2 representing batches of the previously unreleased material. it's not like the standard issue of 'lovesexy' where the entire album is one track, which, again, i appreciate and understand on some level, because it flows well and has almost a megamix feel like with 'lego feet,' but there are times i just want to hear "anna stesia" or some other song.

Prince made that joint 1 track so you can just make love to your woman without any silence moments...lol

WHERE'S THE VINYL SKAM!!!

This is where I'm at right now. Like I said in that other long-running beat-tape thread, I've always been into this type of sound but right now I'd have to say it's reached comical levels lol. It HAS to sound grimey and battered as all hell or it's just not making my rotation at this time, I'm sorry.

My heavy rotation is basically Knxwledge, Ohbliv, gordymichael, and Kaytradamus, plus the ol' standby Madlib and Dibiase coming thru with the slightly cleaner but still off-kilter beat-gen sound.



And I know this is an instrumental/beat thread, but even the albums I'm listening to with rapping still fit this aesthetic lol:

Uncut Raw "First Toke"
City Slick "Antique Black" and "The Money and His Fool"
(all three produced almost entirely by Fluent)

I don't like the beat anymore because its just a loop. ALC didn't FLIP IT ENOUGH!

i need to hear more, but i like his tape-y sound

Check out Outmind on brainfeeder from last year.

>i need to hear more, but i like his tape-y sound

I still have his cd in the car so it's in the larger rotation. The guys I mentioned all had stuff come out late 2011 or 2012, though, so they're getting heavier play at the moment.

Pretty bold move for a producer to name his album of beats after RZA. Even weirder, you wouldn't think RZA-inspired if you heard it without that context. But in a way RZA is a godfather of the scene, in that he kind of pioneered the moody lo-fi feel to hip hop production.

I like the album. Good for fans of Matthewdavid and the rest of the Leaving crew.

I think we are certainly seeing the passing of a generation

regardless the album sucks ass. ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! And I say that objectively, as someone who listens to the typ of stuff he's trying to do. What he actually did though.... ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I was done at the first track honestly.

RZA should sue for defamation of character.

So I imagine we are wired differently for this type of thing. Of course meaning you are wired correctly and I am wired incorrectly.

Who's the best artist in this lane? Onehotrix? Serious question. Because it may just be the lane I don't like.

"When the music stops he falls back into this abyss."

And I wouldn't have even thought of Ho Trix (actually love Replica but wanted to type that) in this lane because I think of it primarily as beats.

But as a general rule I like pretty much everyone in the Leaving camp, if you consider them similar to Hype. But I made a mix of some beat stuff with lots of Leaving stuff and I had Hype Williams on it but took it off because it didn't fit, so I guess even I don't think it's the same thing. And i think Ssaliva is much better than Hype Williams, for the record.

Let's see if more of the stuff pops up. My ears are always open, I just don't see the direction yet.

So I gave this a shot and am more forgiving. What a difference a name makes. Also realized this is an alias for Cup Cave.

More of a warm IDM sound on that older project.

He is also looking to put out a new album first quarter

Wants to play new album out on the road.

Clams Casino, don't know if he is working on a proper solo release..

But I'd buy that for sure.
