What I'm listening to today: "313", evadum
Percussive minimal acid house. Got an actual original 303 in the mix but it's there to do (satisfyingly subtle) support work and the focus here is on the beats. Skeleton of 80s-flavored 90s dance music, constantly shifting 808-soundy drums*. Focus on the fundamentals. Sometimes that just feels good.

* I think every sound that isn't the 303 is just Ableton lol. 50% vintage 50% software reproduction
What I'm listening to today: "Massive Cure", Smoosh
At some point around 2000 the drummer for Death Cab for Cutie started teaching the drums to a local six year old, setting off a series of events leading to this album recorded when the drummer was 10 and her sister, on keyboards, was 12. They play with the exuberance of 10-year-olds and it really works. I love the casual, effortless poetry of this one track. Electric piano through an overdrive pedal just always works.
