Rolling dance partisans 2011

Did you just get Cok Bok’ed? Is your Ramadanman in a jam? Can you tell your Roska from your Mosca? Is Hugh Jackman really playing Hackman in the up and coming post-dubstep film? Will your future garage be built by Will Bevan? It’s the dance partisan thread! Yay!

Know you’re Jamie XX to your Jamie Vex’d?

Few good mixes that set the tone nicely for the beginning of the year…

Bok Bok: http://www.factmag.com/2010/12/17/fact-mix-211-bok-bok/

Oneman: http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2010/12/oneman

T.Williams: http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2011/01/t-williams

Elijah & Skilliam: http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/2011/01/elijah-skilliam-01012011-mix.html

For me at least

that t.williams one is v.great

anyway, because it came out too late in the year to grab many people's attention, the completely banging "taking it down" by brenmar (the entire at it again ep is well worth checking btw)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD70jxSwCZ4

and i love julio bashmore's forthcoming ep too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4blc6DniUA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MlL_KRXcEc

I don't think I've heard Bashmore go for such an anthemic sound I kind of dig it. His Soul Motive 12" is still my fave of his. The Night Slugs 12" with Hyetal didn't do it for me dispite really digging them both. I though Hyetal's colabs with Peverelist and Shortstuff last year where miles ahead of that one. There is potential still mind.

New Bashmore EP is great, I liked the Velour 12" a whole lot too. Have had a lot of trouble getting into Brenmar's non-remix stuff, feels really c'n'p to me.

the velour ep was the first bashmore thing i really loved (and my introduction to hyetal)

oh apart from has remix of claude vonstroke & j phlip's "california", that was excellent

Anyone else here hear the Kode9/Spaceape LP already? Not really digging it on my end but wondering if there's something I'm missing.

Loving this Pearson Sound (Ramadanman) tune:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK86NohafCk

That Pearson Sound track is really nice yeah, he's got a knack for the 170 stuff I'd like to hear more of it.

Untold and Rockwell have done a collab thats sounding pretty sweet too: http://soundcloud.com/critical-music/rockwell-v-untold-rekohu-sunrise

This got mentioned on the Actress thread, but Downliners Sekt = interesting.

Damn that Pearson Sound cut is lovely, way less aggy than what Kennedy was doing throughout 2010

I kid of dig Downliners Sekt we chatted to them a few months ago: http://www.sonicrouter.com/2010/11/interview-downliners-sekt.html They have a nice glitchy thing going on. You can even dl their EP off their site for free. The Electronic Explorations mix is cool too.

There are a few bits on the Ramadanman EP and latest Pearson Sound 12" on Hessle that have that rolling melodic, jungle sound going on just at a way slow pace. I wouldn't call any of his stuff aggy mind. Depends what you're playing it off I guess, I mean its pretty aggy compared to Caribou for example haha

Note me down as one of the few who just don't get Mount Kimbie and James Blake.

Sounds to me like an indie oriented/Prefuse 73 kind of take on the music and its not to my taste.

And I was deeply disappointed at the turn Darkstar have taken, so its nice to find some kind of combination of traditional musicality with bass music that doesn't sacrifice the strengths of either approach. I feel like I'm watching both Hotflush and Hyperdub go the route of Warp: increasingly interested in crossover into indie. Could just be my take on it, Hyperdub is still releasing some great Funky.

Hyperdub (is) increasingly interested in crossover into indie.

nah, not aside from the darkstar album. some of the label's newer stuff is grime-y, but not indie.

Well, Burial has pretty much funded the label's growth up until this point.

It definitely wouldn't hurt their chances to have another hit like that, but yeah they're still supporting Terror Danjah.

What I've heard of the King Midas Sound material is very song oriented, although its more of lover's rock feeling than an indie one.

I think I'm alone in preferring that they stuck with singles, the only album I really go back to on the label is Untrue.

aside from untrue, i kind of agree with you.

I dunno, other than the Morgan Zarate single (which I'm surprised more people aren't talking about in general) , Hyperdub seems to have been playing it safe for a while now (see: the recent run of Terror Danjah singles). The King Midas Sound material does slay, though-- just, nothing unexpected, you know?

xxxxxost yeah, I guess I found the s/t EP pretty harsh-sounding (kind of austerely queasy, no?), would love to hear him going more in the "Don't Change For Me" direction but the Pearson Sound singles (esp. the "It Takes a Muscle" rework) show an extension of sound for sure

the pearson sound single is pretty enough but i stuff that sparse and slow tends to drag a bit for me (unless it's mad percussive) without the propulsion or focus of eg his spark remix or "your words matter"...

Really feeling this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T23oWRITwU

I think I saw him mentioned on the funky thread too

Chat with Braiden for TheQuietus: http://thequietus.com/articles/05532-sonic-router-017-braiden-interview-the-grass-is-always-greener

Really feeling this Airhead mix: http://electronicexplorations.org/the-show/141-airhead/

i like ramadanman's uptempo minimal drum thing, but "pitter" is just so far ahead of anything else i've heard from him

Pitter is such a big track, love the Bok Bok track on the same 12" as well. Prob my fave from him so far. Hopefuly Ramadanman has mroe of those twisted synth weapons in his bag, its pretty diffrent to the rest of his stuff so hopefuly he's been exploring it more.

I sware this will get less like a spam-a-thon from me in good time when others pick things up a bit, but for now I may as well keep it rolling and show you some bits...

I'm pretty excited for these ravey fuckers: Mista Men, CRST, Randomer... Interviews and mixes bellow. They all take it a bit raw and a bit hype in their own little way. Mista Men have a heavy northen funky flex, CRST love their garage and Randomer is just twisted. They all have a load of energy, I can see some big tunes coming from this lot.

anyone heard chymera's curl ep? His stacatto piano stabs are squarely out in front of the mix, in an aggressive way that jolts the songs. it's great.

here it is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6V7f4ohMlI

I've not heard that track, its kinda cool nice one.

Really hope this arrives sometime this year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYPnyVJJihA

The cheesy piano angle doesn't quite reach the hight of this beast though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MexqcPGxtoU

The Brey Tropical Flavour Remix of Mr Mitch on the Butterz Feb Zip Is really something: http://bit.ly/gUo9Lb

i'm feeling these new morgan zarate tracks. especially this one (it's fast too, like 147).

maybe it's just me, but this sounds more "american" to me that a lot recent hyperdub stuff? i was surprised to find out he's a uk dude.

He's really good, I think there is an album on the way as well. Its Morgan Spacek.

Its got that Brainfeeder kind of sound I guess, I mean its not far off someone like Samiyam anyway.

Hyperdub have some mad faster bits, there is a really good LV & Quarta330 track that runs at about 150-ish too I think.

That reminds me LV album on the way for Keysound woop!

yeah, it reminds me more of brainfeeder sidechain-heavy rap beats, it has a looseness that i like

Oh man can't wait for this...

Allstar lineup, clips sound well nice.

new-ish direction for honest jon's?

i thought it was mostly a reissue label.

The last few years they have been doing the odd bit of dance stuff. Actress has an album on there and a 12". T++ did a double 12" last year too. Mala remix of Moritz Von Oswald Trio. Shagaan Electro bits... Stuff like that. They're opening it up a bit now I think. They still do re-issues too. I think Actress hinted at album number two for Honest Jons on twitter recently, should be good, can't get enough of Splazsh.

oh yeah!, the actress album. it's the kind of stuff i should love, but i've had trouble getting into it. strangely enough, i think it has something to do with an odd, negative-reaction to the cover sleeve. just something about it bugs me.

I really like the sleave. Actress isn't the easiest dude to get into though, it took me a while and I'm a sucka for this stuff. It really crept up on me after a while.

Xpost: Funny you should say that. When I first got all enthusiastic about Actress pretty much just because I really liked the cover of Hazyville (this was before Splasz came out). Then I heard his music and lost all interest, until I saw him live/got Splasz (whose cover I'm indifferent about), which I quite enjoy, even in spite of its various idiosyncrasies (like, why are all the high end frequencies cut off on Seniorita, for instance?)

This Jay Weed dude is pretty awes.

He sure is Tim, have you heard the next 502 as well?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSOV3LnL_0k

Oneman is spoiling us.

Gota love Nakedlunch and Idle Hands...

They have a new artist on the way called Kevin McPhee and he did a mix for us: http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/01/interview-kevin-mcphee-nakedlunchidle.html

I was impressed.

Joe does it again...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfZX1HWF1fY

ha, id assumed teeth were toss as a plum I know put them on a while ago.

some of that kevin mcphee stuff is nice, esp near the end of the mix.

My oh my...

Mickey Pearce has been let loose

http://www.bluntedrobots.com/

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!

Yeah the McPhee mix really gets rolling by the end he's got a load of killer stuff, really impressed me.

I'm still really hyped about Mickey goin on the rob and giving away two of my fave remixes of late. The JME remix just keeps rolling on and the Ms Dynamite remix is something else big twisted dance floor vibes.

Still loving the Cassie remixes Local Action did late last year too: http://www.localactionrecords.co.uk/ Mickey kills it there too, they all do really.

Feeling this: http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/2011/02/meet-walton.html

Raw UK funky meets grime vibes.

i pretty much check for everything nguzunguzu do, and this remix is no exception - http://www.aheartisaspade.com/2011/02/02/a-heart-is-a-spade-exclusive-rainbow-arabia-without-you-nguzunguzu-mix/

I need to hear more from them, I never seem to see them release anything its all bits on blogs or whatever.

They have some cool stuff though feeling those drums.

best of their own releases is their free s/t ep this time last year - also like the commercially released mirage ep, too. and then their remix of ciara's "deuces" is just so so pretty.

I wasn't really feeling that EP but should probably give it another go, love the Ciara mix.

Nice one I'll go search it out.

We've got a new mix out today from Chariman Kato, some sort of mad noise/hip-hop/house thing. Fits somewhere between Lukid and Cloaks or something.

http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/02/interview-chariman-kato-pictures-music.html

Sounds fresh.

nguzunguzu are playing with kingdom here on friday. i should really go, shouldn't i?

Yes! Those two together are an especially potent combination. And that's going to be a monthly event from what I understand. So jealous.

Yes yes yes. So jealous. Missed Kingdom a couple weeks ago because I was seeing Egyptrixx (decisions decisions), but Nguzunguzu + Kingdom = dream line up.

well, probably not going this wknd at any rate (cf. gay thread) and in general it's pretty far from where i live w/o a car...

feeling this juke remix of goldielocks - http://soundcloud.com/leatherface-juke/goldielocks-magic-carpet-leatherface-remix

(the original's prob one of the best things she's done outside of "cold sweat", too)

Never heard of Goldielocks not enjoying her voice at all though after a quick investigation, the juke mix is alright but I'm not keen on the looped-out rap bit. Not my fave Leatherface yet.

Yeah they have some really good stuff, I love Blue Daisy too. We've had mixes from a fair peeps on their roster on Sonic Router. Fantasic Mr Fox and Blue Daisy are two of my personal faves we've had do them: http://www.sonicrouter.com/2009/11/interview-fantastic-mr-fox-black-acre.html / http://thequietus.com/articles/03535-sonic-router-009-a-dubstep-column-for-january

Lookin forward to what Night Slugs have in store this year, the forthcoming Egyptrixx album is really on point him and Jam City are the ones I'm most convinced that can pull off a killer album on their roster at the moment so I'm glad they're first up. I need to go see all the guys DJ again soon too.

Love this dude

Butterz March Zip sounds fresh: http://ymlp.com/zcww9V Two sweet Royal T remixes, what really cautgh my eye though was a couple of UK Funky remixes from Fis-T doin DOK and Walton taking on Royal T. There's a really nice slipery smooth grimy bassline DJ Q track as well. Pretty epic Air Bubbles remix from Exo Remedy and all.

Talkin of Butterz...

TRC & Trim: http://soundcloud.com/trc_1418/trim-i-am-skipping-rope

Oh man clips of the new Instra:mental album sound very good indeed: http://soundcloud.com/stholdings/instra-mental-resolution-653-1#

Really liking this xxxy re-edit of How To Dress Well
http://soundcloud.com/tri_angle_records/how-to-dress-well-xxxy

This is giving me that friday feeling: http://sonicrouter.blogspot.com/2011/03/sr-mix-71-light-club-slow-hand-motem.html Party style beats and bleeps, love it.

I kind of dig that xxxy remix too, it might be my way into How To Dress Well. I'm finding it hard to get into and every time I try I usualy end up reaching for Dro Carey or The-Dream instead haha.

All I've wanted to listen to since the year started is deep house sounds. Never paid more than a bystander's attention to it up until now, but this thread has been essential.

Yeah, when i've listened to HTDW previously it just kind of drifted by, the remix has a bit of momentum at least.

I can't stop playing the new Pavan album Holy Volt on Harmonia: http://boomkat.com/vinyl/382074-pavan-holy-volt I <3 Skweee!

More Skweee for ya: http://boomkat.com/downloads/386375-various-dodpop-dodpop-a-s-b-s <<< Amazing :D

Kind of dig the xxxy remix of How to Dress Well, although I think I like the original more. The appeal of it is that it sort of drifts by.

Another Girl is the next Jacques Greene single, yet another fip of Ciara's Deuces Rmx and possibly my favourite one yet? Not as propulsive as Nguzunguzu's, a little housier, perhaps. Nice to have the official version of it now, tho.

Appleblim has done a quality mix for the Fabric blog: http://www.fabriclondon.com/blog/view/catching-up-with-appleblim

Love the bits with October.

Egyptrixx album out right now and its a hot one.

Check 12"s by Blawan, Actress, Lowtec, Joy O and Addison Groove this week too. Madness.

shy one's new decaffeinated love ep on scratcha's label is really good

Not feeling the Egyptrixx album tbh. I've always thought he was kind of a weak link in the Night Slugs roster.

God, seeing Egyptrixx live a few months ago was tediously boring. Then again night Slugs is total anathema to me and I generally fail to see why anyone likes any of it, so...

i'm pretty sure you've already said so multiple times, too

i am listening to the kingdom xlr8r podcast and feeling it, btw.

egyptrixx album is ok but i can't seem to find my way into his stuff like i can with the rest of the night slugs roster.

subeena's forthcoming single is great btw, esp the insane drums on the b-side "end of reason".

I've always thought Egyptrixx was one of the strongest and most consistent artists on the Night Slugs roster. He's not as brash and hasn't made an anthem yet but they've got loads of people who do that.

Did you hear the Egyptrixx remix of Subeena's last release? Its a bit good: http://bleep.com/index.php?page=release_details&releaseid=26940 I'm enjoying the up and coming one too.

The Egyptrixx album is boring but you'd be stretching it to say it's that representative of the Night Slugs sound. There are a couple of nice moments but otherwise it's pretty standard drab clumpy tech-house. Reminded me more of an uninspired Craig Richards set at Fabric than anything else. A few more tracks that were more than a one-note bassline and some pitch-bending noises would help.

Blawan is on one: http://www.factmag.com/2011/03/14/fact-mix-230-blawan/

I love "Getting Me Down". Hopefully it gets released at some point.

i liked that dro carey mix

Glad you liked it lex, I cant get enough
of his stuff. Really pleased he's got a load fo stuff on the way this year for The Trilogy Tapes, Ramp and Hum & Buzz.

Oh man Hessle Audio are taking over The Boiler Room tonight: http://boilerroom.tv/

Live in about an Houre and a half w/ Pearson Sound/Ramadanman, Ben UFO, Blawan... Then either/or/both... Joe and Elgato depending on if you belive the poster or the blog lol

Tuuuuune

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RJy2-F2irA

Both of those mixes are A++, as is the Nguzunguzu mix lex posted elsewhere on the boards.

Also quite enjoying parts of this mix by PHYSICAL THERAPY,

http://soundcloud.com/physical-therapy/therapy-sessions-vol-1

They/He/she/whoever were responsible for the ridiculous REAL HEAVY VIBE mix of Alicia Keys' Unthinkable which isn't really dance but I don't know where the fuck any of this shit would belong if not 'dance partisans'

^^ featuring 2-step remixes of No Doubt, a dubstep take on Everything But The Girl and Perempay and Dee's mix of Teedra Moses.

is this thread only british stuff? what dance thread do i post abt the new bubble club single in

Oh Jesus. j0rdan and I are freaking out about this track in the middle of Physical Therapy - "One of Those Days (Organ Mix) - Seany Mac". Seems to be Bassline or something? 2009, i think. sort of awesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLTOZyEhj04

yeah that joint has floored me

also kaskade - it's you it's me

the nuguzuduzu mix is great

the "coffee shop" remix is hilarious

those two songs off the physical therapy are killing me

Any country anywhere its just about the sounds Flopson.

Pearson Sound on Night Slugs just popped thru my door and its insane.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HMO1c99UWY

Woah.

is this thread only british stuff? what dance thread do i post abt the new bubble club single in

Probably sits best in the Balearic revival thread.

the nuguzuduzu mix is great

yeah

nguzunguzu was on dj rupture's show last night, haven't listened to it yet.

Love that Pearson sound track. What kind of music do people call night slugs? Or is it just night slugs..?

this seany mac track is incredible! but soundcloud appears to be down so i can't hear it in context.

I am a song and a half into the Egyptrixx album and so far I am feeling it

Ossie mix & interview: http://sonicrouter.blogspot.com/2011/03/sr-mix-73-ossie-lightworks.html

Sits well here just as well as the uk funky thread, killer stuff.

Looking forward to listening to the Ossie mix.

Love that Pearson sound track. What kind of music do people call night slugs? Or is it just night slugs..?

Ramadanman/Pearson Sound hasn't really changed his sound for this release though. It's all "post-dubstep" but if there's a Night Slugs "sound" (which given the diversity of their releases is a bit difficult to articulate anyway) I'd identify it more with Bok Bok, Mosca etc.

Really loving the Pearson Sound/Ramadanman FabricLive mix. Dude's variety of approaches hang together really well in the mix (i.e. the distance between "Wad" and "Grab Somebody" seems a lot smaller, in a good way, than if you listen to the two tunes in isolation), and the whole thing implies "techno" more strongly than I would have expected. But, like, those great techno nights I've been to in the last ten years (and never really knowing who or what was playing) where the music's machinic syncopation is pushed as far as it can go without flipping into IDM or nu-electro, i.e maintaining that driving propulsion.

"Wad" is still my favourite thing he's done. Must get round to listening to the Fabric mix.

The Ossie mix is pure vibes, he's ace.

Night Slugs kind of have a fluid sound I guess they just do there thing. They can play a load of diffrent styles but they draw it all together really well so it never really sounds disjointed. A lot of the bass people are doing that at the moment, its tough to pin down as a single sound. Hyperdub has its own aesthetic as does Hessle. Night Slugs, etc... they all share bits here and there but make their own moves in diffrent directions. Its more of a scene than a single genre at this point.

I am half-baking a theory that Ramadanman/Pearson Sound is a house DJ really, albeit one who came up through dubstep. Probably need to listen to his Fabric mix before fully committing to that one yet. Certainly the set I saw him play in Croatia was a bassy, clatteringly rhythmic take on house and techno.

I am just now discovering the whole Night Slugs aesthetic

I really need to stop sleeping on things

Good cause good tunes: http://nihonkizuna.bandcamp.com/

All cash goes to the Red Cross in Japan to help the aid effort, the tracklist is pretty insane.

hey dudes

if i wanted like a crash course in whats happening in house right now what would yall suggest? is dub house still a thing? i don't really know anything about this stuff but i've been asked to oversee music for a thing and my man's like "just lean on kinda dubby house stuff we can dance to"

i hate to be that guy all "i don't know anything about this thing i've been asked to do, plz help" but....any suggestions?

Dub house is always a thing but not particularly THE thing at the moment (arguably it's never THE thing anymore - it's more of a self-sustaining cottage industry at this point).

The Soul Clap Resident Advisor mix from late last year is my favourite house mix in about the last 12 months and is a handy snapshot of the current cruisy sultry US/Canadian deep house sound, good for relaxed party vibes:

http://rapidshare.com/#!download|437l32|418852256|Soul_Clap_-_Resident_Advisor_224_-_13.09.2010.rar|98410

thanks tim!! you rule.

Didn't expect this: Burial - Street Halo (Hyperdub) shipping soon...

Awsome news, now I like his Four Tet collabs well enough and that mega old remix of Commix but this is by far the best news about Burial in ages. Kode9 is off on Benji B tonight to play a load of Hyperdub bits and tease this as well, looking forward to it. Want to hear those Hyperdub Ossie bits in full effect again!

Really enjoying what I've heard from Teeth recently: http://pitchfork.com/features/grime-dubstep/7946-grime-dubstep/

Shawty on 502 is sooooo good I think Vibrate is an anthem in the making as well, its a beast.

Meet Zeppy Zep he's ace: http://sonicrouter.blogspot.com/2011/03/sr-mix-74-zeppy-zep-fortified-audio.html

Butterz April Zip sounding hot as always: http://ymlp.com/zUTPgk

Swindle and DOK's remixes of Terror Danjah Sidechain are quality just for starters.

Burial sounded good last night

Street Halo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs9aKfIFrxM

Stolen Dog
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWBd7CKWL04

I wasn't expecting the news that Hype Williams have an album on the way for Hyperdub either, it fits but just came out of knowhere haha

Seeming as though I have no shame and spam everything else I get upto in this thread I may as well keep it up and invite you all to join the Sonic Router Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/SonicRouterLDN lol :D

Track of the day on there right now is the Teeth record Shawty I liked up thread, amazing.

DJ Rashad Live right now on http://boilerroom.tv/live/

Very tempted to hear the work of someone named Dro Carey.

Check out the very cryptic: http://drocar.tumblr.com/

His Trilogy Tapes 12" is excelent and he's got loads more on the way for Ikonika and Optimum's Hum & Buzz records as well as Ramp.

FaltyDL's Swamp 81 12" is so good.

New Lil Silva w/ Sampha sounds like a summer jam waiting to happen: http://www.thefader.com/2011/03/29/exclusive-stream-lil-silva-f-sampha-on-your-own/

jimi, i know there's not a ton of discussion on this thread but i appreciate your regular updates

(esp since http://oomk.tumblr.com/ shut down)

btw i've listened to that airhead mix like ten times

Cheers Jordan, I'll keep rolling its the only way I know how haha.

Airhead are onto something, pretty sure he's in James Blake's live band at the moment can't remember where I heard that mind so I could be wrong. I'd love to hear an Airhead full length at some point I think it'd suit him.

Talking of full lengths things are hotting up a bit now with Kode9 & Spaceape's on the way, 2562 out at the end of the week, LV in the works, hopefuly LHF and Damu at some point. Hyetal and Jam City too...

yeah, he's plays guitar for JB. looking forward to that brainmath ep, but haven't seen a release date.

hey jim, out of that list of best-of mixes, which are your top 5 must hears? (the list is kind of intimidating, tbh!)

Ben UFO, Blawan, Dro Carey, Ossie, Royal T.

In no real order, thats just a nice little spectrum of sounds.

Dot Rotten - Its Over Ft. Wiley's Mum
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fcu1xXnBxc

ok, i listened to some hype williams and it sounds like sub-washed out chillwave. am i missing something?

I can lean either way on Hype Williams depending on which record I listen to: 'Find Out What Happens When People Stop Being Polite and Start Getting Reel' I found to be really awful, the samples are really shit, cheesey and over used. But 'One Nation' is kinda cool its nice and laid back, there are four really good tracks on it the rest is just kind of nice and dreamy. Late night material you can let wash over you and sink into. I do beleave they are from that sketchy chillwave/lo-fi blog scene thing though yeah I was suprised they got picked up by Hyperdub, I hope they pull off something deserving when they drop an album they could go one way or the other.

I can't think of a good place to put this so here will do...

Go and grab a free mini LP from Golau Glau, they're a freaky electronic/hazy pop duo and we're giving away this release and having a chat.

http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/04/premiere-golau-glaus-somato/

We've got a quality mix from a guy called Monky up right now: http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/04/sr-mix-79-monky-robox-neotech/ he's ace.

There have been some very nice tracks come out recently Mau'lin 'deeper than the sun' is a belter. I can't seem to find it on youtube to show you lot mind. Julio Bashmore's 3024 12" is maybe my fave thing he's done yet alongside the Soul Motive 12" last year. Ramadanman has been on a mission too the 12" on sssssssssssssss is ace.

Oh yeah the forthcoming LV album Routes on Keysound is ace too.

http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/2011/04/lv-ft-joshua-idehen-routes-keysound.html

I've been playing that and Gang Gang Dance loads the last few days.

Get on the Get on the Get on the...

lots of ill records coming out, but we don't really have a beat scene thread (apart from the flylo one i guess). so it's not dance music but here are random thoughts on stuff i've been feeling:

lapalux, many faces out of focus ep
jonwayne, bowser (mostly 'be honest')
mono/poly, manifestations ep (not great as a whole, but 'forest dark' is sick. great 4/4 - 3/4 transition.)
elos, flying sky fortress (more crunchy 8 bit synths)
matthewdavid, outmind (not much to hold on to melody- or hook-wise, but i have no idea how he gets some of his sounds...i mean, i get what he's doing with cassette tape samples and compression etc, but it's so different from the way i work that it sounds really opaque).
tokimonsta, creature dreams ep

I must be slacking, we've had a mix from Lapalux and I've not posted it haha

http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/04/sr-mix-78-lapalux-pictures-music/

1. Lapalux – Intro
2. Culp – Agnes
3. Chocolate girl – Sakura
4. Lapalux – How it feels (I want you to know)
5. InfinitiRock – NunTaken
6. SeePM – De Caca PuPulu
7. S.Mahabra – Nice to meet you
8. Lapalux – Lost consonants
9. Quetzal – Give something
10. Mount Kimbie – 50 Mile View
11. Lapalux – Operate
12. Abel – Free birds
13. LDFD – Outtacontrol
14. Aphex Twin – Xtal
15. Lapalux – Kecksys Farm
16. Dorine Muraille – Muraille 3

Beat scene business is more than welcome here if you ask me.

I've really been enjoying the Sun Araw & Mathewdavid tape I need to grab that new long player to see what its about.

There has been some very good Skweee recently too, which fits around these parts alongside the beat scene bits.

Pavan's Holy Volt is a beast of an album.

Hovatron has a quality EP out

http://soundcloud.com/lowriderscollective/sets/hovatron-ep-snippets

Super Soaker is so good: http://soundcloud.com/hovatron/super-soaker

Huh, i was under the impression Hovatron had "retired"

Don't think so the new one is out now/soon on Low Riders: http://www.lowriderscollective.com/blog/hovatron-promo-for-low003/

I've not heard either way if he's doing any more mind I just know this is on its way out and its ace.

Yeah, i just thought the guy was using a new alias now. My info may be wrong tho

Was anyone into the Kahn 12" on Punch Drunk?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rcAiQBhisA

He's just done a mix for us: http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/04/sr-mix-80-kahn-punch-drunksure-skank/

Can anyone ID a track with a housey beat and a kind of highish pitched vocal melody that goes uh-uh-ohhhhhhh?

Teeth - Shawty [502] & Hessle Audio Presents: 116 & Rising both out at the end of the week, pretty esential if you ask me.

Hessle Audio presents 116 & Rising

Postby rob booth » Thu Apr 07, 2011 5:54 pm
FACT can reveal that Hessle Audio will release an epic 2xCD/3×12″/digital label compilation entitled 116 & Rising on May 16.

Curated by the imprint’s three co-founders – Ben UFO, Pangaea and Pearson Sound (AKA Ramadanman) – the CD version is comprised of 12 brand new tracks tracks, with contributions from every single producer who’s previously released a 12″ on Hessle, plus a couple of guests, and a second disc collecting previously released highlights from the catalogue.

That means fresh heat not just from Pangaea and Pearson Sound but also Blawan, Joe, Elgato, Untold, Cosmin TRG, Peverelist, James Blake and Addison Groove, and a couple of unexpected treats – such as D1‘s never-before-released archive cut ‘Subzero’ and a killer from the hitherto little-known Randomer. Most of the tracks on Disc 2 are modern dancefloor classics, and hardly require any introduction – among them Martyn’s eerily suspended, deeply affecting remix of TRG’s ‘Heartbroken’, Untold’s none-more-livewire ‘I Can’t Stop This Feeling’, Pangaea’s ‘Why’ and James Blake’s ‘Buzzard & Kestrel’ (a track he’s arguably yet to better).

The new tracks will constitue the vinyl edition of 116 & Rising, which is a 12″ triple-pack; the striking artwork on both CD and vinyl editions is by Will Bankhead. Oh, and there’ll be a launch party for the album at London’s XOYO club on Friday 13 May.

CD1
01. Elgato – Music (Bodymix)
02. Untold – Cool Story Bro
03. Blawan – Potchla Vee
04. Pearson Sound – Stifle
05. Joe – Twice
06. Randomer – Brunk
07. Pangaea – Run Out
08. Cosmin TRG – Bijoux
09. D1 – Subzero
10. Addison Groove – Fuk Tha 101
11. James Blake – Give A Man A Rod (Second Version)
12. Peverelist – Sun Dance

CD2
01. Pangaea – You & I
02. Untold – Test Signal
03. Blawan – Fram
04. James Blake – Buzzard & Kestrel

07. Ramadanman – Blimey
08. TRG – Put You Down

First single off Joker's album. Remember him?

That single is coming out on 4AD too, wasn't expecting that. Joker & Zomby both on 4AD at the moment is pretty cool.

Looking forward to hearing Joker's album it seems like he's been saying its almost ready for about 4 years so lets hope its a good'un.

116 & Rising: The Genesis of Hessle Audio w/ Exclusive Hessle Audio Back Catalogue Mix

http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/05/116-rising-the-genesis-of-hessle-audio/

i checked out the young montana record. it's really detailed and accomplished technically, and it's got some melody to it, but it's so busy and frenetic that i can only listen to a couple tracks before feeling like i'm getting a headache. there's some ill stuff going on though, alpha pup has had a crazy amount of strong releases in the last few weeks.

That second disc of Hessle Audio classics looks pretty hard to f with.

Yeah Hessle are a hell of a label, the new stuff on the first disc is top notch from what I've heard as well. The quality control is something else. I can't get enough of Twice and Stifle. I think I posted the vids of them way back in this thread somewhere.

Talking of mad beat scene stuff too, we just got a mix from Eprom: http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/05/sr-mix-82-eprom-rwina/ it's pretty rawkus.

Trilogy Tapes noww on http://rinse.fm/ with Loefah for the Swamp 81 show.

Blwan - Getting Me Down

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RJy2-F2irA

White label floating about right now...

Very glad this made its way out.

Love that tune. Glad it's gotten a release.

His Bohla EP (and I'm presently listening to my recently acquired copy) is so incredibly solid.

This Jay Weed mix looks ace: http://www.factmag.com/2011/05/13/fact-mix-247-jay-weed/ Big fan of his 502 12".

these are killing me right now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wegecg07GC0

moonship, you are a big 2562/made up sound booster - are you as disappointed by his new thing 'fever' as i am? i feel like he set up his new label just cz no-one else wanted to release it. so clunky and grooveless.

it's okay, an experiment i suppose. could have been more interesting, considering the sample sources.

is that the disco samples thing?

xp ah

yeah, that's the thing, he's usually so on point with the beats and the hooks, i thought joined with the disco palette he couldn't go wrong.

anyway, on a sidenote, lovin the swamp81/boddika/502 sound right now.

With 2562, I kind of don't see the point in sampling disco unless it's going to reflect the warmth and funkiness of it.

Have we talked much about the Africa Hitech album on Warp yet?

yeah i haven't picked up the new 2562 album and i'm not sure i will. i agree with what dog latin said and i'm sorry to see that he's decided to go back to the sound of reinforced records circa 2004 (broken beat shading into breakstep).

OTOH a made up sound killed it in 2010, sad to see that project drop off the map in 2011

New Guido mix: http://soundcloud.com/guidoproductions/29-min-mix-2011

Just his productions I think. It's quality too.

I wasn't maddly impressed with the latest 2562 album but its solid enough, sounds pretty tough and like a 2562 record. Its a bit like older A Made Up Sound stuff from the Short Cuts album that was more organic and dreamy. So it was kinda funny to see 2562 go in that direction and A Made Up Sound move in a dancier direction.

I can't comment on the 2562 album in its entirety (samples didn't impress me especially) but Aquatic Love Affair and This Is Hardcore are amazing.

o rly?

what was amazing about them?

I dunno, I feel like they're a bit catchier and a bit more immersive than the rest of his stuff. I love the drums on this is hardcore, and the synths on aquatic family affair, and while I kind of don't see the point in sampling disco unless it's going to reflect the warmth and funkiness of it. is pretty much the case, I feel these two tracks perhaps reflect that warmth a bit better better (at least in Aquatic..).

I mean, they're nothing too out of the ordinary for 2562, but are just really well produced and enjoyable.

Those two are damn good, they really stick out when I hear them in mixes too.

This album might be more of a slow burner.

Yeah, I think this might make more sense in the context of those two being released ahead of time as a single.

Hessle Audio on Rinse tonight is pretty stacked: Joy Orbison + Floating Points join Pearson Sound + Ben UFO on this Thursday's Hessle Audio Show 2300–0100 / 106.8 FM / http://rinse.fm/

^^ Hessle on a mad one ^^

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgvCMwsghB4

Madness.

Hessle Audio show on Rinse w/ Ben UFO, Pearson Sound, Floating Points and Joy Orbison: http://podcast.dgen.net/rinsefm/podcast/Hessle190511.mp3 soo good.

that blawan track is great - what else is in a similar vein?

More Blawan of course that whole EP on R&S is him on a mad acid tip. A load of Hessle Audio stuff has that sort of vibe in the drums at least. Untold, Cosmin TRG, Joe, maybe some Martyn and A Made Up Sound, Boddika.

Don't know if it was already posted, but Haddaway
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KS4BQJ4VL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KTz9qcuW10

cheers jimi, will check those out

The new 116 & Rising comp on Hessle Audio is the nuts.

I've hardly had anything else on since it came out. Hessle have been one of my favourite labels for ages everything they've done has been top notch. The comp sounds ace and they didn't even include Wad, Claptrap, Annaconda, Iddy, Router, The Bells Sketch, Blue, Grimelight all some of my favourite tracks. Just shows how strong the label is.

I just wish I didn't have such thin walls on my terraced house, or I'd be caning it. Annoyingly, the bass response on these tracks is such that I fear for my neighbours' sanities whenever I turn the volume past 4.

Yeah that bass travels. I'm always trying to find the right volume that wont annoy and sounds exciting lol esspecialy when I do my radio show on a Sunday night, its easy to get carried away when you're mixing this stuff.

I know this all too well. If only there were insulated spaces where people could listen to loud music without disrupting others, possibly with drinking and dancing involved too...

That's some Sci-fi shit right there.

FWIW, I reviewed the Africa Hitech album http://bit.ly/jxgjep

Funny, i'm 180 degrees from you on this. I think the persistent tension of "Out in the Streets," its refusal to resolve, is precisely what makes it so brilliant. (Well, not *just* that. But that's a big part of it.)

The thing is, I really do like Africa Hitech - actually, no, I like the idea of Africa Hitech and love about 50% of it. What they have done, very admirably may I add, is draw attention to huge swathes of stuff I hadn't really thought to check out. I just can't see myself listening to the record in it's entirety again, but as individual cuts a lot of the tracks work just fine. Their rinse fm set the other day was killer - just think the album's a slight misfire when it comes to execution.

not really familiar with whatever circles he usually travels in but i quite enjoyed the randomer mix on dj q's show (where his track 'alize' is a mainstay) this week - less parched and more exuberant than most of yer taut clattery wonky stuff i seem to hear these days

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011ckym

Since the thread I started about Barbara Panther hasn't been very popular, I thought I'd big up her new single (produced by Matthew Herbert) here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPObpVHDQ9k&feature=player_embedded

Her debut album came out this week, I still haven't gotten my copy in the mail, but I have high hopes for it.

Randomer is really good yeah: http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/01/interview-randomer-super/ <<< mix there too.

His track on the Hessle comp is pretty big.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERVH46bRpuM

He's on Super which is Raffertie's label, alize is a banger.

Can't wait for this.

Will try and be there

It's going to be a quality one thats for sure.

LV just did an RA mix and all: http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=261

It looks ace, I haven't been able to stop playing Routes either.

it appears i'm late-ish to this one but blawan's "getting me down" = whoaaaa

+1 on blawan

nice to finally see some uk bass that justifies the hype

blawan fills a hole I didn't even know I had

+1 on blawan

and deadboy's "wish u were here" is probably the most epic uk bass (whatever) track so far

I prefer "Ain't Gonna Lie" off that Deadboy EP

Personally don't really get "getting me down" but his Bohla EP is exceptional.

Oh, I didn't realize I said that already.

Other than 'northern line' I found lv's 'routes' a bit dull.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjQIkGGlu4U

You're not even feeling 'Primary Colours'? 'Lean Back' amd 'Murkish Delights' do it for me and all.

Oh yeah I DJ'ed in Hull the other night and people wher break dancing to 'Bohla' by Blawan it was as a strange one haha

Bohla EP and his Hessle 12" are essential if you ask me.

You can stream Zomby's new album here: http://www.factmag.com/2011/06/02/stream-zombys-new-album-dedication/ it's well mellow: 'Black Orchid', 'Riding With Death' and 'A Devil Lay Here' are all very cool, best of all are prob 'Digital Rain' and 'Mozaik'.

"natalia's song" is amazing, none of the other tracks come close imo

I do like that song quite a bit, but it sounds more like a random bootleg by Zomby rather than one of his tracks. I mostly dig it cos it reminds me of that awsome Burial & Kode9 mix.

Just heard the "Getting Me Down" single. Guess I'm gonna have to check out some more Blawan.

bugger Jim, where/when was this?? (gonna be either Lamp or Fruit really...) in Hull myself and somewhat starving for decent beatiness :/

It was last weekend @ The Lamp with the Forefront records guys. They play quite a bit out there I think, hopefuly I'll be off down again in the near future it was good fun like.

Forefront put this out...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2icRmyXVXGE

They've got some bangers on the way and all. I'll make sure I mention it here next time I hear of a night/am heading over.

Deep dark swung vibes, really loving the LHF related stuff.

This is probably really old news to most of you lot, but I can't get enough of this. It's one of these two-for-the-price tunes that changes completely half way through.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTDefFDNzj0

Deep dark swung vibes, really loving the LHF related stuff

i was just listening to "blue steel" last night and wondering ... where's all of the intelligent d'n'b revival tracks i was expecting to hear?

Really into this mix today: http://dontwatchthat.tv/2011/06/07/001-slackk/ Slackk is a badman.

this is already everywhere but why not:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjiswvTXdzA

fucking addictive

This just came out too: http://farnearer.com/ best Jamie xx I've heard I reckon. Nice summer vibe to it anyway. I've not been overly impressed by much he's done really but this is nice.

He was on Rinse last night too w/ Jackmaster & Spencer for Numbers: http://podcast.dgen.net/rinsefm/podcast/Numbers070611.mp3 might have a listen later.

Saw him dj on the weekend and it was excellent. He closed with "I'll Take Care of You" and the Heatwave version of the Adele Remix. Bit of a moment.

holy shit at that jamie xx tune

excellent bleep action

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCm4cXKKaps

Out on Hyperdub soon <3 :D <3 :D <3

Ossie is a legend.

Ossie single is great, Hyperdub is having a weird year though (don't like Hype Williams' first EP for them, at all...)

Not crazy about the Bok Bok EP, but then again Night Slugs' Lil Silva release last year grew on me considerably (esp in light of his recent stuff), so

Even though there's an Nguzux2 thread already, excited to hear what they're doing on Kingdom's new label later this year (Kingdom's also putting out a few EPs himself I think, which will be ace)

I've only hear the Hype Williams in passing so I'm not sure about that yet, but they're kinda hit'n'miss anyway I do like One Nation quite a lot but the other bits I've heard from them kinda suck. So we'll see how it goes.

Hyperdub are pretty solid if you ask me this year they've had Funkystepz, Burial, Morgan Zarate, Kode9 & Spaceape album and they're all good to great. Plus DOK and Ossie on the way soon, sorted.

I really like that Bok Bok EP it feels like ages since we last had a good slab of Bok Bok on 12" that wasn't a remix or bootleg he always brings a load of raw energy to the table.

sort of kyle-hall-ish to my ears

Damn, new Bass Clef single on Punch Drunk...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ol_CaRqHw

Anyone listening to Perc's Wicker & Steel album? This one is incredible. What do you call it ? Just plain old techno? Goodness knows but it is fucking amazing.

hey jimi, i'd like to send you something, will ilx mail work?

I didn't even know ilx had a mail feature... But yeah try it and hopefuly I'll get it and I'll drop you my addy. Or find me on twitter or something I'm @jimitheexploder for anyone interested.

done

New Silkie album is... eh, okay. The rhythmic fluency and production nous are still there in spades, but it mostly feels a lot stiffer and stodgier than before, like he couldn't keep himself immune from dubstep's usual tendencies forever. There's a certain quintessentially Silkie-esque fleetfootedness and bounce that feels depleted here.

IDK maybe it's just that after 3+ years of obsession I'm no longer hearing what startled me. But then I throw back on Quest & Silkie's Uprooted mix from 2008 and it's like gahhhh still so amazing.

Is this City Limits 2? When is it out?

June 27th. I liked the Fact mix he did of tracks from it, and the recent EP's.

Yep City Limits 2

Your lack of enthusiasm is distressing. Did you like the EPs from the last year?

There's a Quest album coming out this year too, supposedly.

This is based on 2 listens so I reserve the right to change my opinion.

At the moment my sense is that it's still good, but more "good for a dubstep album" rather than fist-pumping top ten of the year. Nothing seems on a level with say "Sky's The Limit" or "Concrete Jungle" or "Planet X".

I liked last year's "80s Baby" a lot, the EP from earlier this year a bit less but didn't listen to it enough to absorb really.

who?

Silkie.

i don't think i know any silkie tracks off the top of my head. what should i listen to?

Aside from what Tim mentioned, I also like Head Butt Da Deck and Techno 22.

Also "Beauty"

Above all, get Quest & Silkie's 11.07.08 Uprooted Mix, which is like all Quest & Silkie's best productions (plus one Mala tune) and is probably my favourite dubstep mix ever notwithstanding being almost entirely restricted to tunes from two similar artists.

Yeah Silkie has been leaning in that clunky dubstep kinda direction for a while now, well he was the last few times I heard him spin dubs in clubs, pretty much every track had that generic halfstep clunk it was disapointing. I was hoping that end of things wouldn't creep into the new album that much.

There are a few good'uns on his recent EPs mind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL1w3CzW378

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAi54N71dsE

They still have that float and skip with that heavy funk edge.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q1dAWlj-cE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXb6GwffPQA

Love these ones too.

It just seems odd to me that he'd go in that direction now of all times (though Mala kinda has too I think?).

There are some tracks on the album that superficially nod to post-dubstep (faster rhythms, vocal samples etc) but in general the feel is a bit more Benga than I'd like.

I'm not sure I've heard much in the way of new Mala for ages now I've not made it to a DMZ in a while.

There is something a bit to Benga about some of this new Silkie stuff, I'm not sure its a deliberate post-dubstep nod in what he's doing though. He seems to be going for a jungle/rave thing, like an anti-social Cluekid/LD kinda thing.

There's one track on the latest EP called TechFunk which kinda nails the heavy blatant dubstep thing well, it bangs pretty hard but keeps it interesting too. Sounds like a grime beat really.

I hear Silkie and Swindle have been working together a bit, I think Butterz have been playing some bits. I've not had chance to lock in and check it yet mind. That could be interesting.

When I hear new Joker bits it gives me that Benga feeling too, its a shame. Still hopeful all these guys have some killer stuff in them mind.

hurrah, been thinking silkie and swindle (and fuzzy logik!) should make a supergroup for ages

^^^^ Cosign in blood straight from the heart.

Above all, get Quest & Silkie's 11.07.08 Uprooted Mix, which is like all Quest & Silkie's best productions (plus one Mala tune) and is probably my favourite dubstep mix ever notwithstanding being almost entirely restricted to tunes from two similar artists.

Just wasted 15 mins trying to find this online anywhere - does anyone know of a link?

Just realised Uprooted was my local dubstep night in York they had Silkie & Quest down quite a bit. I've got the mix on my external hardrive somewhere I'll give it a re-up.

Quest b2b Silkie Live @ Uprooted 11.07.08: http://www.sendspace.com/file/agqwlx

Anyone heard the Zomby album? I like it, fairly low-key and introspective for him.

I've got the mix on my external hardrive somewhere I'll give it a re-up.

Awesome - thanks!

i think we talked about that zomby record upthread

I got your bits Jordan, shouted you my email n'all.

Yeah we touched on Zomby up thread it is indeed pretty mellow, I wasn't expecting something so dreamy. I'm kinda waiting to see how it sounds on disc now really.

Hope you enjoy the mix toby, I almost forgot I had it until the Uprooted link clicked. I was about to shout the guys on facebook to see if I could unearth it. I remeber it being one of the reasons I really got into Silkie & Quest and that whole anti-social sound. Those Uprooted guys still do stuff in Leeds, pretty sure Signus one of the main men runs Gangsta Boogie n'all. I've gone to their nights before and had suproise sets from half of anti-social since they tend to roll in numbers lol.

Wait...

Hudson Mohawke & Chris Brown

http://vimeo.com/25122307

oh, i didn't get an email? it's jordan 1 at gm41l (no spaces obv)

looking forward to that new hud mo ep

Oh, do listen to old Silkie stuff Vahid. You know how lots of dubsteppers and postdubsteppers talk about recapturing the "Metalheadz sound" (or "Blue Note sound") but usually they mean sounding like a slowed down version of Fanu?

Silkie circa 2008-2010 actually sounds like the first disc of Platinum Breakz.

didn't expect "far nearer" has many haters. even RA gave it 1.5: http://www.residentadvisor.net/forum-read.aspx?id=153348

I see what they're getting at in that RA review in that Jamie XX still comes off as quite amateurish in his solo productions so far but i dunno, i still think there's something there. Kid's got heart.

it's not great but it's at least as good as tons of tech-house garbage that score in the 3-4 range.

also WTF at 3.5 for "rollercoasters of the heart"?

As in "it's good" or as in "it's bad"?

i like it a lot better than 3.5 ... i almost started a thread on it

correction: i almost started a thread on RAVESTEP

jamie xx's 'far nearer' is brilliant deconstructionist steel-pan pop, come on. that RA review is silly

is it just me or does the new photek suck

It's not just you.

^^ Indeed. So much musicians from the golden era of jungle and drum 'n bass come up with fodder nowadays, up to the point that you'd wish they didn't even bother. But it's more sad than silly, really. Trying to carry the corpse of that golden era into 2011: it's not a pretty sight. I am struggling to name one artist from 1993-1998 jungle/drum 'n bass era that is successfully making music now.

And it can´t be easy (and I say this without a trace of irony) to once have been on the forefront of a music and a scene as futuristic as d 'n b, to find yourself arisen from d 'n b's ashes only to see the whole aesthetic of that scene has changed beyond belief. You invented and set the trend once, to re-invent music or, more importantly and challenging, yourself yet again, must be so so hard.

I am struggling to name one artist from 1993-1998 jungle/drum 'n bass era that is successfully making music now.

DJ Zinc?

Yeah, I'd say DJ Zinc is one exception.

(I almost added "but I'm sure some of you can come up with some names I am forgetting now" but scratched it :) )

@ ...wow! (Le Bateau Ivre) > well said. i'd be interested to know what a lot of those guys are doing now. eg source direct, optical/ed rush, krust, doc scott. ploughing the dj circuit..?

Yeah this new Photek stuff is so shit.

Not sold on Zinc either, crack house was just a blog house re-booth with nu-skool breaks drum loops...

And no one needed that again.

Yeah, I suspect a drum 'n bass-themed 'Where are they now?'-thread would keep one puzzling for quite a while. You're naming the right names, though. So massive at the time, and seemingly completely forgotten now.

I remember how once Source Direct were like near superstars. The story that Aslett and Baker got £ 35.000 each from Virgin upfront for a new album, which they blew on BMW's and drugs was at one time - in my dnb universe - breaking news! Just found this, dated 2010. I've never heard this 'Vampire' he speaks of.

Interesting - wasn't aware they'd recorded a Peel session. Can't believe how young they look on this Dutch doc! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVnm5cdNcus

Royal T Fact mix looks hot: http://www.factmag.com/2011/06/24/fact-mix-259-royal-t/

This from the Butterz email too: 'Before someone else lets it out BR009... is a collaboration between Swindle & Silkie'

Sweeeeeet

Someone was trying to convince me that Drum'n'Bass is still really relevant at the moment, but I don't hear much about it at all these days. Any interesting d'n'b cuts coming out I should put my ear close to?

i heard one of those swindle/silkies on the rinse shows, didnt seem particularly inspired

royal-t mix sounding rad so far

"instrumental grime" is such an impotent term at this point, commentators need to wake up to the fact that whether they sound like themselves or crossbreed or not bassline and grime are part of the one same cheap n' cheerful nu-ukg habitus

maybe i'll start telling people i listen to uk treble

btw did anyone hear that el-b & wiley tune that cropped up a few weeks ago? missed it and now it's been taken off youtube etc

doubt it's any cop really but might as well ask

23. TRC – Sex (Royal-T Remix)

http://freespace.virgin.net/xxx.99/s/bowdown.gif

I'm really enjoying the grime/funky/bassline thing. They all work so well together. Can't get enough DJ Q, TRC, etc. Even Champion has a kinda bassline vibe going on at times. Really into what I've heard from DJ Pantha and J.G. too. Is BassBoy still making funky bits with Marcus Nasty I always dug that but it seemed to fizzle out a bit and I kinda got bored of Marcus a while ago so haven't checked.

bassboy's been pretty quiet full stop since then, but yeah generally speaking bassline is one of a number of funky ententes that have waned of late

incidentally dj q has been making a good case for pangaea's 'runout' being a tune lately, he brings the ardkore garage out in it

might as well since this is the thread now:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qGHA8MagGg

This Pangaea track is pretty tough too

Feeling the new Kidkut on Well Rounded: http://soundcloud.com/donga/well-rounded-10-kidkut-get-sum

'Get Sum' is one hell of a bumpy little banger.

bears repeating, Blawan "Getting Me Down" is still fucking RAD

^can't be said enough to be fair, Blawan is a badman. He's got another release on R&S on the way in the near future too it sounds kinda evil haha

Oh yeah Sicko Cell is out at the end of the week.

We've had a nice couple of mixes recently.

Deep one from Kontext who is far to underated: http://thequietus.com/articles/06571-kontext-interview-sonic-router

Bangin' new mix from Blawan: http://www.mixcloud.com/MaryAnneHobbs/blawan-mix-xfm-230711/

So the Machinedrum album is -after the first listen - really great. Not surprising because I love Sepalcure, to whom similarities do abound, but in a way that is unrestrained in a really stimulating and impressive way. I mean, in reading this incredibly OffTM post:

it's weird, these machinedrum tracks sound as sterile as i remember his '04 glitch-hop stuff sounding, but the sepalcure records are really lush. must be due to the other guy.

I can't help but disagree because this album, compared with samples of this make it somewhat apparent that if anything MD is behind the lush, melodic washes and vocal treatments that make Sepalcure tracks so beautiful. I can't be sure, but I feel like maybe what the other guy is effectually doing is bringing down the manic quality of MD into something more restrained, into more a more basic dubstep/ r'n b-ish form (not a criticism!). This is like Sepalcure unbounded, taking its lush quality and letting it spread its wings outside its typically pared down bounds so as to just go fucking nuts, but also be very gentle (it's ridiculous how delicate this album sounds given how fast and wild the rhythms are). My only complaint is that it doesn't flow between tracks especially well, in that it sounds more like a compilation; but that's ultimately insignificant, especially when the tracks are so damn good.

Ok, that comparison wasn't great because that braille records is pretty lush too. Anyways...

finally got around to this today, and btw ... IT'S THE SHIT

http://www.strictlysocial.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/blawan.jpg

^^ means business

from 10:29 on so banging

around 14:00 taking it back to early 90s armand van helden / mongoloids sounds

moonship, on a totally different tip, have you heard Motor City Drum Ensemble's DJ Kicks? it's very impressive. the first half at least is a wow. although it drops off a little in the second half it's still great.

yeah jed, love it love it love it ... it's a daily listen

i actually find it kind of a teeth grinding experience in parts, it gets so tense for deep house!

i knew it would be right up your street! i should persevere with the second half: i've been using it as a running mix but my run is generally over by about half to 2/3rds of the way through so maybe it just haven't clicked with it yet. the point where the peven everett track comes in is killer. a totally surprising choice and a brand new track to me.

inspired opening too. it's a very creative mix.

i just read Jess's great review on pitchfork. nice work Jess.

I've now listened to the Machinedrum album 4 times today. I honestly can't remember the last time I listened to an album more than twice in a day, it hasn't been in the last 7 years, at least.

yeah the xfm mix is great, but anybody got a download link?

no

but on a related note: http://tinyurl.com/3m2ahqt

Fucked.

Obviously late to the party and just stating what's been said a thousand times, but I finally got the instra:mental album and it's really excellent. I'd always thought, over the last few years, what it'd be like if Autechre did a straight up club-friendly album. This is my answer.

i didn't hear a word about this lp but it sounds great: http://www.stonesthrow.com/store/album/mexicanswithguns/ceremony-1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPN6Ls9e3Eg

here's two threads i want to start:

-- intelligent funky / deep funky (hackman, doc daneeka, ramp recordings, etc)

-- blawan up your spot: the new face of british techno

but i guess maybe those fit in here? i dunno, it seems like this "post dubstep" thing is fast breaking into a few distinct styles.

Having hours ago sent off for a visa to move to London. I encourage all Blawaning up of spots.

dubspot's having silkie do a streaming production workshop at 6pm edt (now)

http://blog.dubspot.com/silkie-london-deep-medi-soul-jazz-dubspot%E2%80%94live-streaming-workshop-823/#.TlQQJAFpWS0.facebook

I've been listening to the Zomby album on shuffle with that Invasion of The Mysterons Killer Sounds comp and now I'm looking for some other stuff that will bridge the gap between these two releases. Any ideas?

what do you imagine such a thing would sound like?

Well, somewhere between ravey post-dubstep and instrumental dancehall I guess. I'd like to hear that if it exists...

africa hi-tech?

Haha, yeah I like them and they'd fit in that gap but they're very frenetic - very footworky. I guess what I'm describing is largely what this thread's about and I should check more vids but I can't do that when I'm at work.

listening to the jamie xx essential mix, it's really great so far (esp track #2)

ha, track two is by some dude I know, it's great, yeah.

Stating the obvious here, but you know that's for functional reason right?

what functional reason?

to give a build to the song, maybe?

yeah that rustie track is pretty sick

daniel dance music is mixed by djs

^^ does what it says on the tin

Very excited about the Rustie album given how consistent he's been over the past few years - probably my favourite of the supposed "wonky" producers.

daniel dance music is mixed by djs

yeah i know. not sure why that means a track has to take a long time to get going. not trying to be difficult. i like dance music, but for home listening and when i have time. so that tends to make me a less patient listener than i used to be.

tracks meant to be mixed often have a ramp that makes mixing in/out easy?

ah!

tbh, in an actual mixed set you're only going to ever hear a lot of long intros being played under another song, or truncated

Basically what everyone else has said: it's about having time to blend that tracks together and to provide tension and release on the dancefloor too.

The tune you linked was quite nice although a bit "sunglasses techno" for my tastes ;D

Kinda rare interview with Sully: http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/09/sully-ive-always-been-drawn-to-extremes/

His new album is so damn good, keysound are really on one with long players this year. Can't get enough of LV & Joshua Idehn, Sully and the forthcoming Damu records.

was just reading the politics thread & was weirded out by that quote when i was thinking you were talking about andrew sullivan, lol

some of the Rustie album is absolutely nailed-on terrific but there are these other bits - I think Ultra Thizz, as posted above, might be one - where it feels like he's employed such a tunnel vision dedication to conveying EUPHORIA THROUGH SYNTH that he's just ended up looping a bunch of millennial chart trance riffs

not even especially good ones

when I heard stuff like Mokum records and Aphex Twin through my mates older brother I was well into it. This same brother wrote bonkers gabber on DOS trackers

Haha, that was me.

Raises hand as well :-)

Man, DOS trackers... must have spent months playing around with that. Trying to make jungle though, not gabber. Creating a sample by quickly hitting pause on the cd player, using the mic to create and record beats, locked in the bedroom with some friends faffing about with this for hours... Life was good.

Yeah, Impulse Tracker, really underrated - A mate and I used it for about 7 years, starting with gabba and then more techno/IDM stuff. We got really good at stretching that program well beyond its original intended use. Later said mate's little brother picked it up and started making this incredible psy-trance stuff (way better than any of the dreck that was popular at the time), migrating to Fruity Loops a few years later, and Sully was part of that crowd, but I knew him as a black metal fan more than a raver.

Impulse Tracker was the one we used! I would like to be able to run it on some old machine again just once, to 'feel' it again. It was that crazy vibe of trying to bend a fairly unintuitive program to your will (I take this is what you meant by stretching it beyond it's intended use?), and on a much more basic level: working on a computer, putting in these samples and ideas and structures and actually making music, yourself, just like that! I'm sad I lost the cassettes on which I recorded all the hours of music we made back then. Fruity Loops was the obvious next step, played about with that for a long time too.

I don't know Sully's music very well, but in a way I'm not surprised he was a black metal fan when young!

fuck yeah TRACKERS ... takes me back to MOD files and the demo scene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G_aUxbbqWU

This is good news. http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2011/09/sepalcure-announces-debut-album

wow ... i didn't know the machinedrum guy looked like ... that

I still have some of my old Tracker tunes. Succotash Wish was the only one I made that really took off, but it did become a mini classic in its own right I guess.

Wait? WTF? Praveen Sharma is part of Sepulcure? Another small-world revelation - he used to be on my MP3 label back in those tracker days.

:') small world dog latin.

The Sully album is so good, been playing it a lot for a while now. He was on Rinse w/ Dusk & Blackdown this week too: http://podcast.dgen.net/rinsefm/podcast/DuskBlackdown120911.mp3 Roots of Sully business then a load of forthcoming Keysound stuff. They're killing it this year with the label.

Sully Podcast for Xlr8r too: http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2011/09/sully

Looking forward to an album from Sepulcure.

wow ... i didn't know the machinedrum guy looked like ... that

haha i had the same thought.

i'm interested in that sepalcure album too.

this is the least dance-friendly record i could post about in this thread, but i'm really into the new shlohmo record. it's kinda chillwave-y at times, but mostly really works for me. lots of guitar, which sometimes ends up sounding mount kimbie-ish over the clicky beats.

actually my first thought was "there must be a more flattering angle they could have used for that promo photo"

Ah, trackers. You can find some of the tune I was making in the Amiga scene if you do a search for 'Mutant Mango'. I'm not saying they're any good mind!

I have seen dozens of photos of the "machinedrum guy."

None of them are flattering.

love the sandy rivera + dennis ferrer arguing over who did hey hey

http://twitter.com/#!/djsandyrivera

hate that song, i'd be all "YOU CAN HAVE IT"

samo sound boy + lol boys = dj dodger stadium

http://dismagazine.com/disco/mixes/22644/dj-dodger-stadium-stadium-status/

how can anyone hate 'hey hey'

^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^

i like the breakdown/interlude or whatev but otherwise it's a cheeseball jingle that got ridiculously overplayed - maybe i got more exposure to it than usual being in nyc, and moreso gay clubs in nyc where this kind of track gets eaten up (ferrer being ferrer and in nyc means the track's going to be a bit popular already - then honey dijon had to do a remix and get that played all over the place as well).

people going "I HEARD YOU SAY HEY HEY!" is akin to people going "TONIGHT'S GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT!" for me.

^^^

I wish I would hear "Hey Hey" in Guetta gay clubs here.

t/s: "hey hey" vs "HAAAAAAAAAY"

no no they kept the hey hey's short and cute and proceed to runway it out

What are people's thoughts on the Instra:Mental album? I personally can't get into it, although it's a good gym soundtrack.

BORRRRRING

i bought it because i swear i saw people bigging it up loads on here, but i must've mis-read because yeah, it is quite boring. lots of it reminds me of extended Rephlex Records material circa 2002.

I think maybe people were bigging up autonomic in general and more specifically the collaborative stuff w/ d:bridge

:-( shame, i could've done with that £7 this month.

i liked it...

what did you like about it?

to me it seemed to build solely on the skreamix of "no future" and sort of abandon everything else

Admittedly I'm relatively new to instra:mental and have been eating up their releases this year so I wouldn't know where to place it in their broader oeuvre, but I guess you could say it scratched an itch. I think the way they take a certain older electro style, imbued with excellent sound design, and a broad range of feelings (i.e. they use moody pads).

As I said upthread, having pondered the idea of autechre (i.e. 90's Autechre) doing a club friendly album, this is as close an answer I have found.

See, that's why I hear a polished-up version of the kind of Rephlex-based "acid house" that really wasn't all that good. The tracks last 6-7 mins each but many of them go nowhere and that "Overdose" sample might have been used before but isn't really doing anything original. I have a feeling it may work really well in certain contexts those.

I agree the tracks don't really go places, but in spite of that they still work as small contained entities (usually like 4-5 minutes, actually) that are pleasant enough to listen to, and work well when put together in an album, or when put in a mix.

Mainly it's the immaculate sound design that does it for me.

Butterz Autumn Zip over here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OIX3V0B0

It's enormous.

Srsly so much awesome in there. Both TRC tracks are beauties. Silencer's History is skippy heaven. The V.I.Ps of Bipolar and Goomba might be even better that the originals. Royal-T's remix of Full Attention is killer. Brandy's Angel in Disguise over Airbubble is a bit weird tho...

TRC released a free EP on twitter the other week too: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ry4c7m it's got some killer tracks on it. Haven't had chance to dig into the Butterz zip yet going to get on it soon.

Looking forward to digging into the latest Dro Carey mix too, he did one of my favourites for Sonic Router earlier in the year: http://www.factmag.com/2011/09/19/fact-mix-284-dro-carey/

If i like "lets talk" (the only instra:mental track i have heard) will i like the LP? not really a fan of lps in general so prob need convincing

There isn't anything on the album like 'Lets Talk' unfortunatly. That might be my favourite thing they've done. It's pretty good though, I was kinda expecting more from it but there are still some standouts. I'm more impressed with random singles/tracks/12"s they've released since either on their own or whatever...

My take on the Sully album, for those interested.

My review of the Sully record: http://iheartau.com/2011/09/sully-carrier/

Interviewed him via email too, gave really decent, lengthy, interested answers. Which was nice!

He's a nice guy. He happened to pop up out the blue at my gig night last Saturday and we had a chat. Hadn't spoken to him in about 5 years. What's weird is I'd been playing the album quite a bit and had decided to review it well before discovering who it was by.

hey guys look what i noticed

nU sKool BreAkSS

ha

it really seems very similar the more i think about it

That point of comparison has always made sense to me too, but I was not smart enough to spot this additional and very compelling evidence.

dubstep : uk garage :: nu skool breaks : drum and bass

Night slugs = Stanton warriors

Moombahton = big beat

Skrillex = crystal method

cm was dope for a minute. wasn't mad at get busy child. forever mad at skrillex.

but who is the freq nasty of the scene

Was there a big "funky breaks" star that could be a Skrillex equiv then? Maybe Crystal Method = Deadmau5?

Freq Nasty = Girl Unit?

Who are the Hybrid of the scene? Magnetic Man?

That is a good parallel, for the strings alone

Cripes, that Sully review!

what's an example of "cheap candyfloss synths and cheaper vocal gymnastics"

Stuff like Erra and Littlefoot Is melodic, some might call it candyfloss. Got a turntable for my birthday today so I can finally play the Toffee Apple 12" I have.

Hybrid might be Nero rather than Magnetic Man. Don't think Magnetic Man have enough in the way of orchestral bombast.

Yeah Nero have that awful prog orchestral thing going on

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JAxgFe4hpE

left my earphones in a jacket at cielo sunday night so flying deaf right now, can't hear nero yet - aw can't hybrid get credit for wide angle though i'll still get back to that every once in a while

LOL at juno calling it Euro Dance/Pop Dance.

got to see samantha ronson open the other night

she played izzo and other radio hip-hop jams of a decade past

to a crowd of gays waiting for junior vasquez

they started booing and yelling for her to get off the stage

the last thing i recall is her trying to save the set by going on the pa and telling everyone to keep hip-hop alive

it was all so magical

It's as much partisans as it is bobbins so I might as well mention here how brilliant Scuba's entry in the DJ Kicks series is.

I've been really enjoying his production work lately.

The looped freestyle samples and the long trancey breakdowns with the soft shimmering curtains of static. I'll probably hate it in 6 months but right now it sounds great.

Oh yeah, for anyone wondering who I am.

I'm Siah Alan / Babylon Sister / sistern / probably something I've forgotten. The mods can rest assured that I'm done with the sock puppets.

A couple of years ago I started the original dance partisans thread, and I used to be a slightly trollish dubstep DJ, I'm not pollywog though.

long trancey breakdowns? sounds like my kind of thing. what tracks of his contain that stuff?

Adrenalin and the rest of that single.

And when I say trancey I mean something like trance with the main arpeggio replaced with giant tuned washes of static.

What's really interesting about the mix is that it starts off quite fast-paced and drawing more on "traditional" techno-influenced dubstep* tropes (I forget which track it is that sounds like a techno take on "Pulse X") but it gets slower in tempo and more housey and 4/4, yet because the last tracks are based on these trancey structures, the energy and tension in the mix actually increases. Of course, this is all discounting that hipster-house version of "Rhythm Of The Night" that weighs the mix down two-thirds in.

*this could also read as dubstep-influenced techno to be honest

Anyone heard the new one by Author? I'm digging it so far - good to know someone's still making traditional dubstep (as opposed to brostep or post-dubstep stuff) without it sounding boring.

Serious grime vibes, mix is fuck'd.

I saw Sepalcure play live last night and I'm pretty sure I felt that feeling you feel about musical artists that you just... Anyways, looking forward to their album (which comes out on Monday!)

Ooh, I'm jealous.

Just bought the single from the album, and you reminded me to play it. Mmmmm.

I'm trying to find a reason to like UK pop dubstep/American brostep and its killing my soul. There's just sooo much shit.

Might do a new thread for the year if there is any love for it, but in the mean time...

I did a thread. No one cared

I care! I just don't have much to contribute, I'm more of a taker than a giver when it comes to these sort of threads.
