summer jams is a feeling xp

(•̪●) (carne asada), Thursday, 7 May 2015 18:35 (ten years ago)

yeah mine probably not laid-back/by-the-pool enough. probably my favorite thing i've gotten from one of these threads was wiley "heatwave," would be down for more like that.

that kehlani has a good vibe, i like the nintendo sounds on the chorus feeling very comfortable with the dreamy guitar and very "clean"-sounding vocals. kinda about done with this "hold on, we're going home" rhythm/momentum which feels like blasphemy to me cause historically i've always craved more of those drum sounds. hmmm.

This was on a June CMJ sampler, and I'm totally digging its languid, LDR vibe.
Also, Ian Cohen hated their record, which is a good contrarian signal.

xp was it martorialist? think i saw him on the case iirc

last i checked there were little mutated bits here and there but not all coalesced to any big mix level (would need some blogger to make its uprooted case anyway) but i'll have another look

these all tend to arise from the uk roadrap type scene (sbtv / madaboutmixtapes on youtube, sort of a combo between datpiff and the old youth-submitted urban tv channel channel-u from grime's mid to late 00s) and tbh a lot of it is a terrible chore to sift thru for truffles, ime anyway
