As an aside, been listening to Dr Rubinstein a lot recently. She has some excellent mixes on Soundcloud. Grounded in techno but adds squelchy acid and some driving beats in as well.
I appreciate I’m late to her game; a good friend recommended her only recently.
So. I’m off to Sonar this year. Here’s the line up https://sonar.es/en/2019/artists
I am familiar with the bigger names eg Four Tet, Floating Points, Dan Avery, Erol Arkan, Max Cooper. Any tips from the more obscure end of the line up?
Someone I really got into at the end of last year was Helena Hauff and her Qualm album. Still listen to it a lot now. Gui Borrato, on the faultless Kompakt label, had a cracking album out last year as well.
Things currently floating my boat
Steffi - World of the Waking State
DJ Tennis - DJ Kicks
Kelly Lee Owens - Kelly Lee Owens
Daphni - Fabric CD
Also bought the new Golden Teachers album but not got round to listening to it.
And good work Mellotron. Thanks. Sadly I'm a little busy at the moment but I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this thread as a contributor and consumer.
Good question. I think it was 2 Bears or Felix Da Housecat both just over a year ago. Whilst I have been out to clubs since then it's not actually been for a specific DJ. Erol Arkan and Daniel Avery double-header is coming up in March though.
