I'm on three and a half years now of ~daily music recommendation posts here. For reasons that seem less defensible all the time, I chose to organize them as a thread instead of via hashtags. Threads tend to break completely after a year of posts, so I make a new thread once a year, but even THAT kinda breaks Mastodon, so I'm thinking, I'm gonna start refreshing the thread on a six month schedule.

What I'm listening to today: "mode 4", StereoMan
Light, airy "intelligent jungle" from 1997, in sample-based Impulse Tracker. There's a whole hidden history behind this inaccessible to me, this musician broke out of a modscene group called N.O.I.S.E. to become Bulgaria's most successful electronic musician, this is from a collection of "mode" tracks (1 through 5) that may or may not have been released under the name "j0r0". All I know is this has irrepressible energy

What I'm listening to today: "the 3rd experience", Merr0w
Behold the unbelievable versatility of the Roland TB-303, released in 1981 as a bass accompaniment device for guitarists, failed rapidly as it doesn't actually work for this, postmortem birthed multiple genres of music and decades later there's a whole micro-industry of clone devices and folks are still creating fun unique-feeling music with them. Here's some acid trance (is this "goa"?). This is the sound. This

What I'm listening to today: "Live Ambient vermona perFOURma with Digitone and Blofeld.", Surgeons Girl
Pleasantly meandering ambient, like someone tried to freeze the idea of "distraction" into a song. All little fluttery subtractive analog synth bubbles.
Minimal, but on second listen it's more substantial than it felt at first.

What I'm listening to today: "mode 1", StereoMan
Some more 1997 sample tracker music. A lot going on in this and just a lot of satisfying sounds. A kind of crashing silverware-on-glassware percussion, beats like some 90s dance act I can't place, and a bunch of synth sounds that give me a feeling like the composer listened to Incunabula/Amber-era Autechre and was like "what if I tried to make something sounding like this but more dance-y?".

What I'm listening to today: "Fusion", mon0
Hum hiss drone dub. Drinking television static in enormous quantities, pattering hints of dub. Is this "elegiac"
Really good unofficial glitch video by Sean Redbeard, of a texture that's almost improved by the YouTube compression artifacts (almost).
Feels triumphant somehow.

What I'm listening to today: "Minkara", Adrian Portia
This is an old favorite of mine. I think I mentioned the "hang drum" in a post before? The modern steel drum / bongo drum fusion. This is an "AsaChan" hang drum by Echo Sound Sculpture being played at the limit of the art, just really wringing every timbre this physically simple but mechanically complex object can make. Good calm background audio, the feeling of laying on your back and floating on the tops of clouds.

What I'm listening to today: "n2o (slices) by dominator"
Creepy, mind-bending, atonal-sounding Amiga tracker music. Breakbeats and fell summonings. Hard techno soundtrack to something horrible which you are powerless to stop. Your limbs move unbidden, your sight reduces to a single point. The dead speak in languages of Juno hoovers and overdriven gabber kicks

What I'm listening to today: "Raised by Dope", Bruiser Wolf
Bruiser Wolf, sometime billy woods collaborator, is probs the most unique rapper I know of operating today, with a crafted, incredibly distinct flow I literally don't know how to describe except "AM Radio". Not sure if that makes sense. It's ike if Juvenile's weird cadence on "Ha" were an entire career. Here, lush hip-hop crafted from a sadly-long-lost form of 80s R&B. Birthed a style that you couldn't conceive

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.
