- "Push for Woogies", tvvt
This is an acid techno jam posted directly to the synthesizer subreddit by its creator this Monday. It's based around what I think is a Moog Sub37, and a bunch of Electron boxes. It's messy but very fun; I like how the first 20 seconds or so sound like just random noises until the bass drum drops and suddenly everything snaps into place.
- "Techno jam / polyend tracker,tr-6s,j-6", Takashi Kusano
This is a desk jam using some boxes from Roland's recent attempt to approximate the Volca line, specifically the "It's like a TR-606 with sliders? Sort of?" box and the "It's like a Jupiter-08 with a chord sequencer? Sort of?" box.
The opening just-drums part goes on maybe a little longer than I would have let it, but once the j-6 comes in it gets "hype". Overall enjoyably dirty techno.
- "Laidback Dub session # DubTechno studio Jam (Tempest SpaceEcho Prophet6 Perfourmer Strymon..)", VØSNE
VØSNE has a bunch of good videos of live sets doing laid-back dub. (In this context, "Dub" means "instrumental reggae for nerds".) This is… a live set of laid-back dub. This one's forty minutes long and starts as a few minutes of just ambient echoes, but the drive keeps building the entire time and once it's built it's got a great goove.
- "Soma Pulsar 23 - Dark Minimal performance", Deaftone Audio
A small, hissy percussion piece ("microhouse"? Is this what "microhouse" is? Maybe nanohouse?) with some really good sounds, including an acid bassline rigged out of a Pulsar drum channel. In my opinion a good way to spend four minutes.
- "Particle Hands", HELL F.O
HELL F.O has a bunch of fun stuff posted— they've appeared in these posts before— and it's practically all abstract, ambient noise music. So this track is an interesting surprise just by being a completely listenable, borderline-pop dance techno piece. Still some interesting sound design, mind you! But drop this into a club set with some bass EQ and I think the crowd would eat it up.
