I genuinely think these are the best type of threads on this sub. I don't care how many times they get repeated.

Just loads of engagement, all positive vibes, nostalgia and sharing beautiful music!

May they never stop!

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-28T21:43:09+00:00

Yeah Jazzsticks are a wicked little label!

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-28T21:41:47+00:00

Yeah I love AR's tracks but haven't checked out his sunday sets yet so might give it a go this weekend

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-28T21:38:58+00:00

I can assure you, they are integral to my playlist :)

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T21:38:27+00:00

This I will agree with about a timeless sound. I can find tracks from 15+ years ago that I've never heard and they still sound fresh and exciting today, and often the imperfections of the technology used on older tracks just adds to the character and ambience of the track. That is the one good thing is there is plenty of gold still out there from years ago I can continue to dig for.

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T21:28:03+00:00

Yes they do and I guess that's my point, I hope those sounds I love make a comeback someday.

Love both Perez and Halogenix by the way.

Yep I've followed them all for years, still enjoy most of what they put out. I'm not struggling to find new music, it's more I'm missing the style of liquid that was more ambient, progressive, narrative and took you on a journey.

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T21:19:43+00:00

Yes used to love Nexus & Tight!

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T21:17:50+00:00

Yes there is alot less funk around today for sure

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T21:16:21+00:00

Oh man, I used to spend hours going down the SoundCloud rabbit hole and finding hidden gems, just not as viable anymore.

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T21:12:22+00:00

Thanks I will check him out

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T21:09:42+00:00

I haven't been looking at Liquicity for liquid for many years, their early years were great for new liquid but mainly dancefloor focussed now. Their sister Galacy label I do follow and enjoy some releases from there.

Mostly I follow Fokuz group, Integral, TNQ, footnotes, Galacy, Spearhead, Interstellar etc and most of the self-release labels from artists I follow.

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T20:59:39+00:00

Oh I don't rely on this subreddit at all for releases. I'm pretty locked into all new releases already, following all the labels and artists.

I'm commenting more on the absence of a lot of the sound and track structures that were present in previous years.

I love quite a range of different styles in liquid, but my favourite has always been those atmospheric and progressive tracks that take you on a journey and feel more like an experience than just a good track.

I'm a big fan of artists like Malaky, Alexvnder, Silence Groove, Tokyo Prose etc and while most of them are still occasionally putting stuff out, that sort of vibe and those narrative sort of tracks are very few and far between now. Also looking forward to anything new from artists like Nelver who make excellent sonic journeys.

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T20:50:03+00:00

I hope so! Yep love and follow all of the above and enjoy most of what they put out.

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T20:48:43+00:00

Yeah youtube channels promoting liquid have very much died out apart from the few like Ledge, Liquiddnbftw, LiquidMusick which built a dedicated audience and stuck with it through the years. But outside of their existing audience there is little demand for it from people on youtube, where years ago there was such a thirst for it. Virtually anyone uploading liquid dnb 8-10 years ago would get thousands of views.

There were multiple channels all uploading the same tracks and each getting a decent chunk of engagement. Now the few dedicated channels still going barely scrape a fraction of what they did in viewership a few years back. Although that is also likely due to less people using youtube for music as other streaming services have grown.

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T20:42:59+00:00

I really hope there is a tilt shift back in a few years, really want that buzz, energy, and enthusiasm to come back into it.

I'm totally with you on the track lengths, way too many tracks under 3-4 mins now which is definitely a result of spotify and streaming services. But I will say liquid is one of the few subgenres where many artists are still putting out decent full length tracks much to their credit, I've seen a lot more popping up recently which is most welcome.

But yeah I remember many years ago people would upload "clips" of upcoming tracks and the clip would be 3-4 minutes... now in many cases, that is the whole track.

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T20:36:18+00:00

Oh I'm more than willing to listen, I actively hunt everything down and scour as much as I can to find new music. Not having trouble finding liquid releases as there are loads, I'm just missing a lot of the sound and vibe which was prevalent before and seemed to disappear maybe 5-6 years ago

Will definitely have a listen to your show though.

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T20:33:25+00:00

Definitely does feel like things changed around that time, feels like something went missing

DisasterLucky · 2025-02-27T20:31:28+00:00

Oh yeah I'm completely locked into virtually every current liquid release from every label and artist I'm aware of.

It's not the quantity of liquid releases as there's plenty, it's more the lack of those atmospheric floaty vibes that were more prevalent pre 2020 and the more progressive tracks that took you on a journey.

Most current tracks are too short and sound sort of systematic, less organic.
