Otto Matta Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I can't get enough of the South African sound, but I've fallen behind. What are the best releases from 2008-2010? I like the hard, angry stuff with more grooves than breaks, and with originality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insejn Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 These pops up in my mind: VA - Charcoal (WEB) VA - New Blood 2 VA - Classical Distortions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Here are pretty much all the releases by Nexus, Timecode, MMD, Yabai and some others labels: the ones with the * are the ones that fit more in your description. 2008 Damage-Bad Creationz (Yabai/MMD) Nothing great IMO. Not what are you looking for. Dirty Motion-Dirt Emotion* (Yabai) Ultrafat psy with blasting beats and twisted melodies. Not the best album but great stuff. BTW DIrty Motion=Frozen Ghost+Hiyarant Phatmatix-The Divine Comedy* (Yabai) If you're familiar with Phatmatix sound you should check it out. It's basically phat psy with many melodies. Tickets-Dreaming Of Places (Timecode) Morning SA psy. Not very fat, but more trancey. Slug-Hardwired (Nexus Media) Melodic SA again. Not so powerful. but very good. Kode Six-Kold Fuzion* (Vision) Phat powerful SA psy. Not the best album, but you should give it a listen. Artifakt-The Magus* (Timecode) Buy it... Brethren-The Price Of Prophecy* (Spectral) Story telling, epic style psy. Many melodies and acidic lines, including two of the best tracks ever. V/A-Ministry Of Chaos* (Yabai) Not exclusive SA, but great comp. with some great tracks (Twisted System, Multistate etc.) V/A-New Blood II* (Timecode) Another great Timecode comp. with an unbelievable track by EMP! V/A-Midnight Storm III** (Nexus Media) Buy it now! 2009 Principles Of Flight-Chaos Opera* (Timecode) Not SA psy, but thunderous psy techno with classical elements! Deliriant-Chemistry* (Nexus Media) Awesome pure SA psy album. Powerful and melodic. Shift-Dirty Signal* (Nexus Media) Not his best album, but some great tracks here as always. VA-Classical Distortions (Organik Media) SA psy with a classical twist. V/A-Digital Decadence (Organik Media) Nice SA comp. V/A-Stereo Neferia* (MMD) Hard SA psy comp. V/A-Charcoal* (net release) (Timecode) Awesome comp. with super tracks by all artists involved. 2010 V/A-Kartuxo* (Timecode) The new Timecode comp. Poison's track are superb! I would recommend you again Hiyarant's album and stay in touch for Lost & Found's debut album (one half of multistate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 That's great! Thanks, guys. Edit: Placed my largest order yet from Saikosounds. 17 discs of all SA stuff. That should get me relatively caught up. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Do not forget the Midnight Storm series....absolute magic. And don't sleep on Yabai...the one's Ormion mentioned are great, but check out Ministry of Chaos and Macao. Pure insanity. Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariScotle Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Great list. I have many of those, but need to check out some new ones. Can't get enough of that SA/Twilight/Darkon kind of sound. Very phat - very psy. Much appreciated. 604ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
