THIS IS 4 THE BUBBL-AH: traktor (mike delinquent remix) vs dangerous (mr v remix)

party like it's 2001

or maybe 2003 actually idk

w/ever

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

You realise that no-one else is even gonna post in this. I haven't heard the Mr V track yet I don't think, who's the original artist?

Traktor Remix sounds like 2001 to me, kinda Genius Cru era.

i know, i know. sometimes the mask slips and i fleetingly think hey now, maybe they're not all tedious american cunts and tin-eared stans of nocturnal gastropod molluscs.

less messy than getting the razors out again tho tbf.

suggest neither of us vote btw, maybe i can break al's 112 record here.

anyway assume you've got images off? - the mr v (aka unheralded protean grimist and basslinist virgo) is a buzzsaw bashment remix of mighty moe's 'dangerous'. it's fun! all the same i don't think it will shift your delinquent allegiance. (mikey d hopping on the keys for the mj cole jazzy bridge is extremely hard to resist, besides everything else.)

what do these two tunes all mean though, i keep wondering; it might be a cul-de-sac but it was still happily driven into.

I'm at work, will try to remember to check these when I get home so I can say what i would have voted for (but not actually vote).

it might be a cul-de-sac but it was still happily driven into.

sometimes a nice house in a loop-de-loop street sounds like a pleasant way to end it.

indeed, where better a nice suburban base for a son of a loop-de-loop era.

not gonna check but i think the moe tune came somewhere later in that dj q set from a few weeks back?

could salvage this thread for general purpose dj q hurrahs i suppose. the old school section on his latest is a total delight!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00xwgbz

Yes we need a thread for this kind of thing that isn't confined to #based-line

The "Dangerous" remix is excellent!

But in some ways I'm a bit over self-consciously sickly bassline basslines, so that might tip me toward "Traktor".

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

;_;

NB. My uncast vote would have gone to "Traktor".

Vato Gonzales Ft. Foreign Beggars - Bad Man Riddim

i can't believe this is in the top 10 after all this time lol

(haven't actually heard the vocal version yet)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erXS3FNvIGE

lol poor shitty old ukhh

07 - Wideboys Ft. Sway & McLean - Shopaholic (Future Garage Mix)

this mix is a jam, dudes fucked up with the single

although tbf i am never not FLABBERGASTED when i hear what the original 'traktor' is supposed to sound like, it's just preposterous

btw how bassliney is that mix? lots of bassline names i recognise but are they all doing funky now?

nah it's safe to come out now, i pronounce funky dead.

e1d is a bassline dj usually but tbf these guys have never seen the difference, and when you listen to the mix neither do you - i'd say 95% is all technically straight ukg as conceived but bassline is absolutely its spirit animal, to use deej's handy phrase.

i dunno, i see it just as another facet of the new mishmash basically. dj q's 1xtra shows are the crucible but if you're not partial to 3 hours of streamed fun then this slightly inferior recent mix cd might give good flavour:

http://www.basslineblog.co.uk/?p=1379

i mean like for instance how do you neatly pigeonhole 'boo you'? best to bask in just calling it garage until things sadly ratify

"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

― r|t|c, Friday, 24 June 2011 12:42 (1 week ago) Bookmark

it was funky i was hoping for and the bassline i was fearing, lol

yeah the bassline spectrum's too wide to fear as a thing though. the only obstacle is in taking the time to nose out the limply deracinated truffles, if of course you're that way inclined

24 - TS7 Ft. Sarah Etheridge - Nothing Left (Original Mix)

i'm sure kingdom would find this one of use for instance, despite what it's rubbing shoulders with

slightly unrelated (perhaps....) but talking of the wideboys i have also been listening to the completely and mesmerisingly disgusting ministry ADDICTED TO BASS 2011 mixed by them

http://www.ministryofsound.com/shop/product/music/32507/addicted-to-bass-2011/

it is kinda jawdropping stuff i think really

sometimes a nice house in a loop-de-loop street sounds like a pleasant way to end it.

The E1D mix is great! So I guess this means 2-step revivalism (not future garage) really is a thing?

Also I think I'm gonna adopt "uk treble" as well.

06 - Todd Edwards - Head Held High

Had not heard this before. It's a cut up of Jonatha Brooke's "Paris"! This is astonishing to me.

i don't know who that is! a tidbit i can offer in return though is 8th note 'wasnt it the 4x4" is cutting up kate bush.

don't suppose you saw me reviving the todd thread the other day btw?

the godlike genius of Todd Edwards

even if 2step revivalism might be a thing i dunno if i wanna call it that yet tbh; happy to stick with the "cheap n cheerful habitus" qualifier for now i think. just following the energy as ever...

royal-t's fact mix is certainly a thing though, have you heard that yet tim?

and if i'd said it before i'll say it again: always listen to dj q! it is scientifically proven to improve life by 600%.

18 - YSE Ft. Frank H Carter III - Guessing Games (DIY's Got Me Guessin' Dub)

^ existence of this is possibly quite interesting - it's new and by karl brown from tuff jam. afaik he hasn't been one of these guys on the denial circuit over the years so you kinda have to wonder what made him bother, is it just a giggle or something in the air?

(it's timelessly gr8 too)

http://soundcloud.com/djpaleface

paleface really "gets it" imo, pay attention to everything he does

http://soundcloud.com/djpaleface/i-cant-get-no-sleep-rag-house/

^ and how bad do you wish all funky sounded like this?

even if 2step revivalism might be a thing i dunno if i wanna call it that yet tbh; happy to stick with the "cheap n cheerful habitus" qualifier for now i think. just following the energy as ever...

No I do feel this, getting that specific kinda narrows its options and codifies the rules, it's more fun as a kind of ecumenical counter to generalised blackdownisation (though, and this is relevant to the point anyways, I love how this music's idea of 2-step basically seems to be pop remixes circa late 2000 - sweet metallic "Show Me Love" basslines, stiff but frisky beats, who the fuck is El-B?).

Will get on the Royal T today.

Re Paleface - also "Blackberry Juice"! "What a ting, what a ting, the man wants to buy me a ring."

13 - KCAT - Live

Had wondered what she'd been up to after that minor bit of chart-bothering in '08 (charmingly nicking bits of Adamski's "Killer", apparently).

etc! If you haven't already check the Mike Delinquent's remix of KCat's "Epileptic", which (a) is a barnstormer, (b) amusingly interpolates "Another Brick in the Wall", and (c) far from being built on metaphor, is in fact a fairly handy pocket guide summation of the social trauma of suffering from epilepsy.

a tidbit i can offer in return though is 8th note 'wasnt it the 4x4" is cutting up kate bush.

I listened to this again and... really?

14 - Chemical Brothers - Swoon (Bee Q & Unique Remix)

I think this might be my favourite tune on this right now. Such a perfect intense concentration of plasticky post-"Flowers" good vibes.

ah right my mistake... kinda. it's less obv on the 4x4 dub

http://soundcloud.com/42tf-recordings/8th-note-wasnt-it-42tf016-out

good thing i forbid myself to be a betting man cos i was absolutely 100% certain 'epileptic' was going on your 2k10 trax thread

It was gonna be! But I briefly forgot it when I completed my belated round-up last month. Also I was consciously trying to restrict the amount of uk funky uk treble I wrote about as I didn't want to set off the usual complaints about 17 hour radio sets and the like.

Also given Delinquent had already abandoned syncopated-funky-bassline for fullblown 2-step it was like the moment had passed.

SERIOUSLY THIS MIX

Okay as an example of Edwards' brilliance at recontextualisation, here is Brooke's "Paris":

Toddla T featuring Shola Ama - Take It Back - DJ Q Mix

^ badderman choon btw

i love the way the dj q remix transposes the super-evocative crystalline nostalgia to a different era entirely

The Royal-T FACT mix is brill. The first track!!!

still flooring me every time, just glorious

not like i didn't adore the original already either!

http://soundcloud.com/trc_1418/sex-clip

http://soundcloud.com/trc_1418/royal-t-music-please-trc-remix

zomg are they doing an ep together??? yesssssssssssssss

fascinating the way the royal-t mix folds in bassline's 90s dance undertow; with something like the toddla t vs dj q or the new brand of sunship cheese say it comes out as part of a kisstory of uk clubbing lineage, whereas the way royal-t phrases it in grime's juvenile delinquency it takes on a kind of cheeky sonic the hedgehog/sega mega drive nostalgia, way housier and more street than original london grime's utopian sentimentalist nintendoism

(21. Royal-T & P Money – 1UP

unfortunately for me this is made up of mario references but i'm sticking with it)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVYx0OgWdbE

like you could stick this in that fact mix no problem

"heard dem man wanna go gym for me" is the best grime boast ever btw

Yeah the remix of "Sex" is... no words.

r|t|c I demand you attend to the 13 July Marcus set though. The track at 70 min. Now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa8RJsodw7w

would assume he expects a big round of applause for it but yeah, s'alright

I quite like "Bax" but surprised you're posting here rather than the funky thread (mind you cannot relisten here to confirm my mental categorisation).

Obv it sounds best with Rankin' on top.

He posted a rip of it on his youtube page from a Marcus show and someone complained about the MCing and his response IIRC was "lol you like Zomby".

it's good when dj q plays it and crap when marcus does. would have sb'ed anyone posting it on the funky thread.

i have no idea what this thread is about, but i keep singing it to the tune of Method Man's "The Riddler"

Haha (xpost)

It wasn't so good that I would have been moved to post it anyway but I appreciate the line in the sand you're drawing.

This fucking mix.

About time!

I have come around to thinking 8th Note's "Wasn't It The 4X4" is the sound of god.

9. Royal-T & P Money – Bump Into Me

feeling this

MARK HILL MAKE ME CREY :'( WITH THEIR TRANCEY REGRET:

Although I think I prefer the female version, it's kinda sad that they can't release the Ed Sheeran original b/c it's like Daniel Bedingfield all over again:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPvU623-SZA&feature=related

kind of a miracle that the initial poll got 1 vote

i really like the youtubes on this thread

even got 1 vote or only got 1 vote

terrible suspicion that that 1 vote was me after all, right after making the poll :/

got exactly 1 vote

What's the best track on "112"

Royal-T's remix of "Full Attention" (one of my favourites of the year) is actually insane:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyEKAJmI9SM

I feel like I need to do more to draw people's attention to "Could Just Be The Bassline".

Last broadcast today, 01:00 on BBC 1Xtra.
SYNOPSIS
Q is back from Ibiza and plays out his set from Toddla T's room at Space. Plus some brand new exclusives from the Boy Better Know compilation Tropical 2.

http://i.imgur.com/VTLWQ.gif

OMG royal-t, dj q and preditah have tracks on there

and it's out on sunday

a tremendous sense of destiny and personal vindication accompanies my clicking of the play button here, not gonna lie to yall

OMG that gif.

Agreed, this sounds exciting and (for you) vindicating.

haha you know you've probably gone too far when you feel gently ribbed by someone agreeing with you.

the clips sound pretty great, although as with all sequels it'd be foolish to expect much more than a banging celebratory tribute to the first rather than anything approaching its still-unearthly occult power. such a slam dunk of a postscript tho, 5 years on!

everyone seems to be darkly hinting at a super special guest producer on it as well, i'm trying to work out who's big enough of a deal. #thankyoubasedtodd?

i don't even listen to tropical 1 that much tbh, maybe once a year? but that one time is like a seance. in my inevitable rambling descent into marcelloblivion i should like to do a 33⅓ book on it someday probably.

Haha that "for you" isn't meant to be as damning as I realise in retrospect it comes across.

http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/tropical-2/id456852136?affId=1503186

Tropical 2 is great! Everything is excellent and DJ Q esp. fits right in. But my favourite is still JME, still sounds like music beamed in from another galaxy entirely.

oh good, i was meaning to bump this thread but i didn't wanna harp on. yes i think it's wonderful! (and far better than i was expecting).

i'm particularly taken with the way it follows on from 'holiday' in characteristic sunny, determined fashion (preditah and dj q as seamless skepta and plastician stand-ins) and then how the royal-t and todd tracks seem to correspond to some kind of emancipatory release; 'cool down' this exhilarating, exultant blast of pure air and bright outside daylight streaming in through an unexpected yet somehow always destined fissure, 'the stranger' (obsessed with why this is called this!) a carefree frolic through eden warm and benevolent. and then... then the fall, turning its back on redemption, spiralling and plunging deeply back down to unfathomable abyssal depths so disquieting in their ultimate sense of benumbed ambivalent comfort and poisoned sweetness, cheap and familiar as the titular closing common commercial sigils of tropicana and easyjet.

i applaud these young men for enhancing further the scope of their strange work.

Yes, LOVE "Cool Down", not at all the contribution I was expecting from Royal-T!

This. Fucking. Album.

Album of the year maybe.

isn't tropical like doc daneeka and hackman?

Bitches stole it.

if you keep that up i'm going to start a "deep funky" thread

Feel free to kick as many own goals as you need vahid.

it's either going to be that or proto-post-dubstep
