SubVersion Stop 295: For Electronic Subverts 016

SubVersion Stop 295 For Electronic Subverts 016 "When people believe in boundaries they become part of them". ~ Don Cherry, jazz trumpeter. Wednesday 17th September 2025 Subvert Central introduced me to many books, and genres of formatted technology. One of the key areas of discussion, as I learned from many Subverts, is the simplified, dnb language equivalent 'suitable for the dance floor and the headphones'. Book threads, music threads - even the simplification of the 'thread' term - see FaceBook, Meta, Threads, Twitter [X] Google Search - also gave the feeling that another title, name, genre of a subject of quality tunage, is not necessarily a bad thing, not irrelevant. I like to think truly clever saved the truly clever. As dodz and Macc quoted from jazz - dodz with Charles Mingus: "making the complex simple, that's creative!" - Macc and Don Cherry [the jazz man, not the fighter] quote "this true compassion will last in one's heart and soul forever". [Even my paraphrasing]. Making things work, just like 'Be Like Water' which quotes Bruce Lee 'be like water, my friend', and a quality dnb track in the process. https://www.google.com/search?q=be+like+water+quotes&oq=be+like Such wisdom makes me truly grateful that, as ever, boundaries are not always broken by acknowledging them. The following three artists, producers, musicians, labels were discovered by me reading recommendations on SC, researching for my ambient threads on SC, and getting into why SC music taste is so varied, and regularly, whichever sites and members are still around, so good to read. 1 The Ramona Flowers Made By Humans Distiller Records label Released 10th October 2025 https://open.spotify.com/prerelease/01JiBI4fPteQvlkxGd5LeE?si=14OuXg9TSG20mF_x1hO8Ng Indie disco: really? Bent's music was termed daftronica outside of work such as 'Swollen', a Cafe Del Mar staple, and 'Private Road' an electronic music favourite. Indie music created a stitch between rock music and punk, possibly inventing post everything in the process. The Ramona Flowers might be indie disco, their soundscape is however reasoned like an avalanche of quarter tones, slipping positively into a multifaceted memoria masonry grid, where Twister takes us up the wall, to gaze at the oasis beyond. 2 Michael Northam Stochastic Embroidery Taalem label Released 15th September 2025 https://taalem.bandcamp.com/album/stochastic-embroidery-alm-147 Pacific of Subvert Central, who worked with the Urban Decay alternative musics promotion, was going to write an essay on 'Stochastic Principles In Electronic Music' for The Dastardly Diaries before the year 2014. I begun searching for musique concrete information based on his amazing gabba, Goa trance and power electronics listens. This Is none of them. However, it is my favourite record released this year in 2025 [for favourite track, check out hip hop and rap self Titled CD by Kae Tempest, and the track 'Breathe', 2025]. Motions of an ocean coated in scintillating sunset. 3 Janealle Monae Age Of Pleasure Released 9th June 2023 https://open.spotify.com/album/3440hCSfwYXxJcbQ0j3jAJ?si=4qWBx9A1TeqFttZaNLp8fg Another SC member musician recommendation. Nominated for a Grammy, I believe, Janealle Monae. This music is soul serrated and ferret fast. It speaks not a musical language, but how soul music may have invented scat singing before jazz, and the ad lib before hip hop. Lyrics like nunchucks, sounds of a post J, K, and Balie Funk pop connected together. I haven't heard the accumulator bebop sound like this since Busdriver 'Temporary Forever'. "When people believe in boundaries they become part of them". ~ Don Cherry. Next week, another set of three subversive music recommendations. Christmas is approaching, so get your entries in for the End Of Year Chart 2025, collated by me, MuttleySV.
