I saw that there was the Frequency - 3rd Anniversary at Warehouse LDN on Sat, but wasn't in town (also that one seemed like more of a mixed bag). Couldn't find anything else, but nevermind. I'll have to plan it properly and come back through another time.

Nice, thanks! Motion looks possible. Anyway, I should just email next time rather than planning my clubbing through the board! ;)

I am obsessed with how relentlessly percussive and shuddering these Jay Power sets are. On the one hand he can be quite diverse (love it when he drops Sami Sanchez's "Dirty Trumpet") but there's an underlying aesthetic consistency and vision and purpose, he has a very specific notion of what it is that these tracks are supposed to do.
Like this fractured KG3 track he plays:

It's like the groove is shaking itself to pieces.

as a veteran of scenius vs genius fights from the uk funky days, I think there are a couple of spins on this issue:
1. People bigging up one or two artists at the expense of just about everyone else - i.e. jimitheexploder on Hugo Massien. Anyone who approaches a style in this way is unlikely to have much of use to say about it, given their starting rebuttable presumption is that the style's underlying formula is a straightjacket that needs to be transcended.
2. People bigging up artists with only tangential connections to the scene as if they're the leading lights of it. This is not really a problem in isolation except when it distorts the conversation, and of course it gets frustrating when it's repeated endlessly. Not sure what would fit this mould for deep tech at the moment given that outsider-crossover seems to happen on a tune-by-tune basis. "I love that Sam Shiba tune" is a fairly harmless variant. I haven't seen any outsiders trying to set themselves up as key diplomatic envoys to the world of deep tech, excepting Brackles perhaps (and he doesn't seem to have rebuilt a public rep around it, yet).
3. People investigating a couple of artists and going no further, assuming that this is all there is to know. Whether this is a problem depends on how it distorts their notion of what the music is: if you premised your entire notion of uk funky on Crazy Cousinz then you might get a somewhat partial view of the genre (though not as partial as might be assumed, I'd wager), but if your laziness was not venturing beyond Marcus Nasty radio sets then I think the "problem" would be fairly minor: yes, you'd be missing out on certain artists and certain approaches to the music but your take would still be pretty well-rounded all things considered. For deep tech I think the same would be largely true of someone who had only listened to Mark Radford sets, though I'd be more inclined to qualify that a bit.
Importantly, I think selective bias is always less of a problem when what you're paying attention to is exemplary of the scene.
If Jay Power was to become a Marcus-like figure (which obv remains to be seen) I suspect it'd be in large part because of the sense in which his sets lock into a vision of the scene that feels very true to both its sense of identity and its creative possibility.

I'm not sure whether it's pleasing or annoying that this really is just straight up deep tech.
― Tim F, Friday, 7 August 2015 12:58 (nine years ago) link
Yeah. What's definitely annoying is that the piece (and she) doesn't make any reference to the scene or anything, just seems to come out of nowhere.
in happier news Jay Power has outdone himself with this one https://soundcloud.com/djjaypower/ay-power-perch-mc-london-live-1030fm-962015
when the track at 14:30 comes in is the height of everything. anyone know what it is?
Kane Law pulls in the same track halfway through his feature on Radford in April and you can use the two as an exhibit in how great Jay is as a DJ. Like you say Tim "he has a very specific notion of what it is that these tracks are supposed to do" that Kane and most others don't. lets it play out in full, while Kane slams it in without ceremony and cuts it off halfway through. (That Kane's section of the mix is still thrilling despite this is is a tribute to how terrific this music is). https://soundcloud.com/rinsefm/markradford180415
Not just jay though -- Perch knows exactly when to drop in and out of the mix. Went to House of Silk last month and the MC was awful, stomping over everything, but Perch brings it. love his instagram too https://instagram.com/p/55VVbNR1Yr/?taken-by=realperchmc

― Tim F, Monday, 10 August 2015 08:53 (nine years ago) link
As with other his earlier sets discussed above he has this real knack of making each track sound like a step up from whatever it's emerging out of, though I'm pretty sure this is an illusion.
― Tim F, Monday, 10 August 2015 08:54 (nine years ago) link
A little late, but "From Above" is really great! Only liking a pretty small percentage of this music overall.
This cutting shapes stuff is not how I would have imagined moving to it, but I guess that's pretty moot considering how unlikely it is I will be out dancing to this in clubs any time soon.

i'm reckoning if you sub the ecstasy blear there for kanye style modern anomie & grime refugee aggro influence and then inject that into a confluence of the shuffling/shapes urban mnml scene and ejeca/waze & odyssey acid warehouse revival u might possibly have the ldn flavour to come

Eski techno = A+ hypothetical genre would bang all that shit.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 4 June 2016 13:30 (eight years ago) link
tbh the wishful hypothetical thing i'd most be taken with is some sort of amniotic melange biz drawing from the strange jazzy abstraction of that uk house and acid comp plus the more uncommon bits of that woebot 89-93 uk techno mix on the other thread. lil silva became larry heard so could arun verone become kirk degiorgio etc
basically the thought of if factmag will turn everything into idm then why not have that add up to something more not less idk
lol everyone i can dimly remember from the deeptech scene who began to make sort of interesting experimental guff like that (like imagemk, karlton phillips) has now deleted them off their soundclouds and went all linear zzz again
