I got the impression from discogs that he had already put out his own version of that song and maybe they sampled the vocals?

So I saw Muhsinah and Platinum Pied Pipers last night. Well, only really one song by PPP b/c they didn't go on until 1 AM and I'm old.
Thoughts on Muhsinah: really dug her sound a whole lot -- but her songwriting is kinda weak, IMO. I like that her melodies are unpredictable, full of weird half-note jumps, but it's almost to a fault: lots of times it just sort of sounded meandering. But I'd be interested in hearing the recordings.

glad there are vocal tracks, wasn't hugely into the idea of an all-instrumental Nicolay record, but I shouldn't have worried about anything as the instrumentals are rich with detail, too

Ah, just realized the vocals on here are Carlitta Durand. I've been obsessed by "Her" off this - http://rs615.rapidshare.com/files/222174745/Carlitta_s_Way.rar - mixtape at various points.
I want to hear "Saturday Night" out, but realize it will probably never happen.

looks like the only place Hudson Mohawke's been mentioned on ilm is in the dubstep/wonky threads. this is the only song i've heard from him, but it def belongs in this thread. pretty nice.

yo at any point did ya'll discuss the j*davey album(s)? i know it's over a year old but i only got a hold of it a week ago and have been finding alot to love about it.
― samosa gibreel, Sunday, 11 October 2009 17:36 (fourteen years ago) link
The J*Davey album was pretty enjoyable for a few listens. Some keepers there. I look forward to seeing where they go in the future.
Shafiq Husayn's En A-Free-Ka is pretty good, a lot better and a lot more focused than this year's Sa-Ra album. Interesting how most of the rhythms seem to be based more in Afro-beat than hiphop or R&B.

The Quadron album is my favorite of the year thus far (without doubt my year-end number one).

Kings Ballad is so much more listenable and interesting to me than Umsindo, which often prized weirdness over actual quality. Here the balance is a lot better.

Dunno if the J*Davey fans on the thread knew, but they released a freebie ep on xmas day last year: http://jdavey.bandcamp.com/
I'm still waiting for "Dollar or More" to show up in full anywhere. They've been sitting on that song for at least two years, and if it doesn't show up on the next full length, I'm gonna blow a gasket.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 2 April 2010 15:28 (fourteen years ago) link

― Johnny Fever, Friday, 2 April 2010 15:44 (fourteen years ago) link
i originally thought it had nothing to do with the production since the vocal is so outstanding, but it's not like i ever would've been smart enough to know that pop-punk drums way loud in the mix would ever work in a song like this. any releases i should check out?

xp: If you haven't, check out the Foreign Exchange's Leave It All Behind (which features Yahzarah, among others, on vocals) and Nicolay's City Lights 2: Shibuya, both of which are produced by Nicolay and of excellent quality, albeit much more subdued than this. I haven't heard Yahzarah's previous albums, though. I may have to now.
I'm also happy to find out today that there's a new FE album in October. I am becoming such a total stan for them. XD

lead by ryan olson, GAYNGS members include POS, Dessa, Michael Lewis, and members of Bon Iver, Megafaun and Solid Gold.
I've heard 4/20 and 5/11 as release dates for the new album, "relayted"
this sounds like it's going to be some late night, or driving in the car, or late night driving in the car kind of dope shit
