New Peder Mannerfelt 12", Equality Now, on Numbers this time. Really strong and varied year for him
I’ve just come across Crooked Man. Wowzers. Really loving this. Apparently a lot his stuff came out a few years ago but has only just been rereleased by DFA.
Good piece on dark techno on bandcamp by the ever-excellent Joe Muggs (who might have posted here for a bit? I can’t remember).
Would also add Pole Group (https://polegroup.bandcamp.com/) and Bunker NY (https://thebunkerny.bandcamp.com/), who I never seem to shut up about.
Also in Bandcamp news, this is good (and free):
dark techno article is good, will check out the Barcelona label!
That Monoloc release is ace. Reminds me of Dadub’s You Are Eternity
New Mumdance and Logos mix

New Demdike Stare album
New Burial on the way
23 tracks! 8 slabs of wax! 100 euro!
This and that massive compilation boxset they’ve just done have marked Giegling’s graduation into taking the piss territory.
Although speaking of Giegling, I really like this.
Really want to go to Bassiani (and also Tbilisi, which is good because it would be a bit far to go for a clubnight).
Really enjoying the recent A Made Up Sound release. Love his work as 2562 and this is just as good.

Already going £250+ on discogs. Anybody actually heard it?
Nope. Got a big review on RA today. Obviously not forking out for the plates but I’ll DL a rip
Seems pretty good from the bits I’ve heard on Discogs. Recognise a few bits from Live at Planet Uterus/Smoke Machine and the new stuff isn’t exactly a new direction for him, but his old direction is still pretty great. Also enjoying the people who bought it having a sulk that the version on Soulseek has tracks that aren’t on the record.
Back in the realms of affordability Ilian Tape just keep bringing it.
DJ Kicks offer they’ve got on at the moment is decent value - all 5 2016 mixes on CD for £40 / LP for £75. https://k7records.bandcamp.com/album/2016-dj-kicks-bundle
Few left field choices but a predictable (and deserving) winner in RA’s tracks of the year.
