Joy Orbison

Finally!

very boring. the beginning of the end of UK dance music for me.

Damn dogg harsh toke

like sure all his tracks sound pretty fun on pills whilst chatting up a sociology grad from goldsmiths but when sober it does nothing for me, whereas 2step is magical.

which I guess is the point of dance music to a degree, but I'm firmly of the school that I should be able to enjoy all functional club music that I like sober, including relentless banging techno or speedcore. I'm not of the temperament to go out and get wasted every weekend, anymore.

Is Sicko Cell actually his biggest hit?

does he have a hit

I meant in the underground dance music sense. I am familiar with Hyph Mngo duh, but I'm positing that Sicko Cell may have actually gotten way more club play and made a bigger impact?

Someone could poll all the singles & collabs he released between Hyph Mngo and this album, there are so many: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1564482-Joy-Orbison

He's never been my #1 fave or anything but there are a lot of gems.

Listening to this now and "Better" is gorgeous

fave tracks are that and "layer 6"

big room tech house tool is actually his hit next to hyphn go. At least in the UK clubs. Sikko Cell sounded cheap and tbf still does. But then the post-dubstep lot have generally been a regressive bunch. Blawan was the only geezer in that orbit who had a real talent for detailed, snappy drum sounds, in a way its a shame hes only really making straight techno but also the scene had no room for someone with decent production chops like that. That fram/iddy release just sounded so much more devastating in a club when it come out, it was hard to compete with it. Lavender as well.

Oh and Untold also had good production chops as well. That Purify thing he did very early in Hessle's history is a mad one, like J Dilla on crystal meth. Really mind blowing stuff.

my eyes are rollng out of my head re this:

as for the last post... flagged, unless it's a joke which surely it can only be. Excellent pastiche though and well-deployed, I think. Got to be a joke, though. Can't not be a joke though, surely. Hysterical.

fuck, I just realised it was the same guy twice.

Dying at "geezer" though.

I gotta say I don't think Sicko Cell has aged well, possibly because it got rinsed so much at the time that people got fed up of it. Everything else he's done still sounds good to me today.

Loving the new one too, I've barely been listening to club music since lockdown started but am prepared to make an exception for this. Also loving that he's made a drill beat, would love to hear him do more of that. As far as I know that sound hasn't crossed over into club music but like I said I'm not up to speed with it so who knows.

Also I can't think of any other vinyl releases that have been described as mixtapes, so that's a first for my record collection

I really enjoyed this walking through the city centre at 7.30am this morning, just the right mix of Four Tet delicate sentimentality and microhouse trippiness for the sun rising. But even though the beats and basslines are fully present I wouldn't really think of this as "club" music.

Nice précis. The tracks are too short, for a start, but I suspect you mean something else.

Roy Orbison = I Bro on Rosy

yeah i can't think of any club context to play any of this in but it's really nice so far
