I'm on three and a half years now of ~daily music recommendation posts here.

What I'm listening to today: "Drummertime and Brainstep Jam 1", Tubbutec
YouTube account for a modular synth company posts a demo of their modules. Process-wise the most interesting thing here is a 808/Volca style performance sequencer/drum machine made with computer-keyboard keycaps and fit to the 1U space on an Intellijel. Musically the standout is some *really* freaky glide that turns some competent but standard acid into something really odd sounding.
What I'm listening to today: "Njalo Njalo", Nomisupasta featuring Rapsody and Madlib
Johannesburg singer makes some deeply satisfying funk in collaboration with diaspora members from LA and North Carolina, styles seamlessly integrated like hip hop is leaking backward into the 1970s. Immaculate scrongly bassline. "Njalo" is Zulu for "always" and "Njalo njalo" appears to mean "and so on…"
I believe this is an early release from an album landing early next year.

What I'm listening to today: "dronetober2025... First deception approaches... first test of trust... [CPM-DS-2] [NTS-1] [Cetus]", dubsbox [dot] algo
Lovely if slightly unnerving ambient performance. Feral disintegration loop in its natural environment. A distant light seen from an abandoned pier, a thing slowly approaching, a train under maintenance being moved not of itself, a moment when waking up you realize you are waking up though you did not realize you had slept

What I'm listening to today: "Ha", Juvenile
This one's a classic of Dirty South hip-hop, a truly foundational work. If you feel this you will Feel it and I won't need to explain it to you. If you don't feel it, try to think of this as a *historical document*. Here is a narration of being a drug dealer in the late 90s (what is a "triple beam", and what is it for?) and a video which is basically a documentary time capsule of pre-Katrina New Orleans. Entirely unreplicable.

What I'm listening to today: "Two riders down", caroline
I love electronic music because there is so much attention to timbre. I love "indie rock" for the same reason, indie rockers love sounds, they just focus on the sounds of strings and cassette tape and echoey rooms instead of circuitry.
This is that *good* Athens, Georgia sound, which is weird since it's from the UK. A room full of sad, angry folk musicians hitting their instruments and crying with joy. Sprawling

What I'm listening to today: "Technocratic Manipulators", Voivod
I was gonna post some more acid today but then I was in a bad mood. Have you heard this album? "Dimension Hatröss". It's wild, sounds like heavy metal cliche until you realize it's from 1988 and it was *inventing* some cliches. Good and hard and angry at stuff we're still angry at 17yrs later.
Couldn't decide whether to post "Tribal Convictions" or this track, went with this. Whole album's worth it honest

What I'm listening to today: "Углами (лайв в коридоре)", Рушана
["Corners (Live in the hallway)", Rushana]
I know nothing about this band; YouTube says they're from St. Petersberg and it appears Rushana is a woman's name from down Uzbek way. Music is what I'd recognize as a early-90s alternative-rock tone with modern indie production, liquid feeling, refreshing like a chill shower right after waking up. They are in fact performing live in an apartment-block hallway.

What I'm listening to today: "313", evadum
Percussive minimal acid house. Got an actual original 303 in the mix but it's there to do (satisfyingly subtle) support work and the focus here is on the beats. Skeleton of 80s-flavored 90s dance music, constantly shifting 808-soundy drums*. Focus on the fundamentals. Sometimes that just feels good.

* I think every sound that isn't the 303 is just Ableton lol. 50% vintage 50% software reproduction

What I'm listening to today: "Massive Cure", Smoosh
At some point around 2000 the drummer for Death Cab for Cutie started teaching the drums to a local six year old, setting off a series of events leading to this album recorded when the drummer was 10 and her sister, on keyboards, was 12. They play with the exuberance of 10-year-olds and it really works. I love the casual, effortless poetry of this one track. Electric piano through an overdrive pedal just always works.
