recommend something hard, machinic, rhythmic and psychedelic

Just discovered this, bloody awesome:

[chris supercut]

i like this a lot. they couldve milked that sound for a couple more records at least

[Mr. Tea]

A Youtube odyssee brought me to this. This thread could have been made for it, I think. Hard, trance-ish, mesmeric ethno-acid, though apparently they're actually Danish.

First of Earthly Delights comes from Rotterdam-based collective Yør Kultura. Odyssey EP is a record inspired by the trio’s travels, bringing together a variety of sounds from across the globe. The EP’s title is wholly appropriate as Yør Kultura take you on an adventure covering a soundscape that travels from West Africa all the way to India.

am i the only one who really, really hates press releases like this? reminds me too much of hippies.

yeah nkisi was the thing i immediately thought of

other things from last year:

Ariwo - To Earth, might not be dark enough, but I feel like it fits


Nihiloxica - Nilo Chug, basically (to my ears) a tribal/organic version of Prince of Denmark's phenomenal "Latenightjam"

Wonky cologne darkcore from 93. the hardcore end of that scene just keeps giving some seriously evil acid to go absolutely nuts to.

Almost certainly not, but fuck it, a tune is a tune.

one of those total wtf records. made by Indo-Trinidadians (I think) so raga, soca, etc but really indescribable. just listen to it. btw flip side isn't really hard but maybe even better.


apparently these dudes are way wilder live, which sounds intense cos this is already hard as nails


kinda like if young Drexciya went back in time + made a 130sish bpm mid-80s boogie one-off

[padraig (u.s.)]

btw I appreciate people putting up all that slow-midtempo tribal, ethno (made by Europeans) stuff above but man it all kinda smacks of mid-90s ethnic ambient don't it

Banco de Gaia + that. which I'm sure is due for a critical reappraisal, which I will wholeheartedly disagree with cos it all totally sucks, but ymmv.

or like a shittier Hardfloor, specifically the famous Yeke Yeke remix, but w/modern production technology + techniques

tbf I did like that Tapan track quite a bit. there's a fine ymmv line between creolized 4th world awesomeness + cringe ethno dub whatever.

(sidenote: I really loathe "tribal" "ethnic" etc as adjectives but unfortunately they're a v well understood shorthand w/o clear alternatives)

the day those feed your head comps or children of the bong gets a critical reappraisal I will officially stop listening to music tbh.

On L.I.E.S.:

always loved that tune, and in what seems to me to be a similar vein:

[Mr. Tea]

This is pretty amazing. Saw this guy (Jaumet, I mean) live a couple of years ago. He also performs as a band with Zombie Zombie. The original is great but this is just next-level:

Agreed on both points here, even if I used one of them in a post earlier - it sucks as terminology but does sort of get the point across.
