Is Bootlegging the new Big Beat?

Message Bookmarked

Suddenly occurred to me. All that jokey, laddishness on nice bouncy, likable rhythms, bit of hip-hop, bit of synth tunefulness? Bastard as the new Boutique? Osymasy as the new Bentley Rhythm Ace? Soulwax as the new Skint? And somebody .... (who?) as the new Fatboy.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yes, but I'd say it's more because of the faddish easy-identification factor with listeners than because of any similar sonic qualities between big beat and bootlegging.

Yes, with the added advantage that, unlike Fatboy Slim or the Chemical Brothers, I don't think Freelance Hellraiser is going to feel the need to "grow" or add a "spiritual" element to his work. Plus, so far, no Richard Ashcroft!

Short (and correct) answer= No.

That's because Freelance Hellraiser won't have any money or a house in about a year.

yes, in that for the most part its boring and rubbish. why is so much of ILM obsessed with it?

Cause it's fun and rubbish. Like all great pop music.

freelance hellraiser dropped the mashups years ago.
he's been involved with all sorts of stuff recently - just not with his "name" on.

Richard X is now known as Richard Christ.

Richard X mashed for the masses

Richard Christ now ashes during masses.
