this has reminded me of one of the worldβs many seriously beautiful places, the Okavango Delta
This was incredible last year:

Big crowd of 10,000 people, huge Palestinian flags waving, thumping techno with arabic samples.
It was directly after this perfect house and disco set:

What a weekend...
No worries! Hope you find something in there that really hits.
Body Maintenance mentioned!
Some other favs of mine from the 2017-19 scene: No Sister, Bitumen, Constant Mongrel, Primo!, EXEK, Nun, UBIK, GAUCI, Vertigo, Parsnip, HEXDEBT, HTRK and Spike Fuck.
I've since gravitated toward the dance music (read: Milo Eastwood extended universe) side of the PBS/RRR equation, so unfortunately no longer know what's up with punk locally...
Three songs from the 70's which I adore:
Ahmad Jamal Trio - I Love Music --------- (spot the sample in a classic 90s hiphop track)
Herbie Hancock - Watermelon Man --------- (I've got a ticket to see Herbie later this year, can't believe it)
Idris Muhammad - Could Heaven Ever Be Like This --------- (Just such a huge huge huge track, sitting in a jazz-funk-disco nexus in '77, seriously actually listen to this)
Very nice; approaching the upper limit of ~20,000km
Would be fun if they included the moon and a rough valuation of all returned lunar samples

It's the linguistic diversity for me
Banks' style is so satisfyingly recognisable here

This is as wrong as a take ever has been. More novel, vibrant, gorgeous, complex and engaging music is being produced today than at any time in history.
Banal, commercial pop music was inescapable throughout all decades of the last century. The classics of bygone eras are remembered in finite lists only as the uncountable middling efforts of thousands of shit acts fade from view. This is true of all art and media.
If you want to find current music that speaks to you, put in the effort. I mean that in an encouraging sense really, and don't want to dismiss your post out of hand.
In | that | spirit | of | encouragement | and | discovery | here | are | 31 | releases | from | the | last | decade | covering | a | wide | range | of | genres | many | of | which | have | enjoyed | critical | acclaim | and | commercial | success.
