non-rap '90s alterna-hits with tasteful, tasty turntable work

1. Urban Dance Squad - "Deeper Shade Of Soul"
(by their own DJ DNA)

2. Portishead - "Only You"
(by their own Geoff Barrow)

3. eels - "Last Stop, This Town"
(ghost DJ, maybe a Dust Brother?)

love that Eels track

I'd contribute but the only thing that springs to mind is Ash's "Numbskull," which is definitely neither tasty nor tasteful.

Need a ruling on this: does instrumental hip-hop qualify for this thread?

nope

5. Whale - "Pay For Me"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwujYHLJay4

the use of the word tasteful i guess is to filter out the mass of nu-metal bands that dropped in scratch sections, or are they disqualified under the 'no rap' rule ?

probably some beck songs

Re nu-metal: Def the former. I wouldn't exactly call DJ Lethal's scratch solo at the end of "Faith" tasteful by any stretch of the imagination.

Incubus's DJ was pretty much on his game though. Gonna need to go into the vault and find a representative track

Whale's "Pay For Me" is such a monster groove and that video is a ws classic

Sugar Ray - "Fly"

:(

tasteful and tasty!

I was thinking the "tasteful" was also being used to weed out all those pop songs that just used record scratching as a silly sound effect/percussive sound. Can't think of any specific examples but I keep thinking of stuff like LFO, Sugar Ray, and Hanson.

not a hit, but Modest Mouse - Heart Cooks Brain (guest DJ KO)

Though I'm not sure how tasteful one would consisder this, or if anyone would oncsider it a hit, but it retains a special place in my heart:

late 80s was full of such treats (Age of Chance of course), but struggling with 90s.
sure i'll go 'ohh of course .. ' at some point ..

I mean, yeah, that's def "Dust Brothers syndrome." You can hear it on that Rolling Stones song they produced too!

Smash Mouth's "All Star" defines the genre I think.

lol, what the fuck is BTK?!

I feel like their greatest hits albums would be worth checking out, in general. I haven't heard anything of theirs since 2004 though.

haha – I was about to cite "Anybody Seen My Baby."

relevant, but also lol because when this video was on tv i didn't think i had much of an idea who john c reilly was

even though i saw boogie nights

I love this - "Mmmbop" *two step beat* *record scratch*

Fuck do I want "tasteful" record scratching in an alterna-hit for

Yeah "90s alterna-hits" and "tasteful" are not really two phrases you'd expect to see together.

Producer David Kahne, I question your taste in treating turntablism like a mere sound-effect to be utilized like so much spice

Sublime to thread
