WUT WUT WUT WUT~~~

Well his first album was basically a BOC homage - hip-hop drums pared with analog synths. The recent stuff has the same nostalgic vibe but with more of a 90's techno underpinning.

I must have the first album as I'd filed him next to Freescha. So I might need to check this out. Never really got into the Black Dog but am a massive fan of Plaid, so...

Lone's latest album is more in the B12/Stasis/As One/Likeminded vein of 90s UK "intelligent" techno as Vahid alluded to back thread, and well worth checking out

i say "latest" but I think it came out last year. didn't get around to checking his latest thing on R & S but samples sound pretty great, rave stabs and samples and floaty pads and bleeps

also i think he shares his name with a beloved ilxor who's sadly been rather quiet of late

lone is 808 state

PR812...like, can i plz have this track standalone right now?

This could stand in as a description for basically any UK-based producer's releases in the past 12 months.

turns out jacques greene is a friend of a close friend of mine

Yes, MTL is a small place for a city of 3 million. (Well, 1.5 million in the city proper.) Even smaller when limited by age and music-scene.

On topic, the Ikonika mix is lovely.

also his name is not jacques greene

Oh, well, yeah. But talking about Ph1l via his real life name seems a bit rude. He went to such lengths initially to be all mysterious about it, distinguish it from his old moniker, etc. etc.

I mean, we refer to The-Dream as Terius for lolz but it's not like we go around talking about Tremaine Neverson or Sara Abdel-Hamid's Summer Mix or whatever.

not quite, but *ahem* for a few days

just started listening to ikonika's mix and it sounds great. thanks lex!

btw, "abdel-hamid", is she muslim?

no - her dad's egyptian and her mum's from the philippines

"pr812" is the track that made me go whoa in the mix but i think "i make lists" might be even better, proper freestyle influence - love the way the mix closes with it after opening with debbie deb

oh yeah there's a new NS ep on the way - probably their grimiest release yet

There's also a white label of Kingdom's Ciara/Girl Unit mashup (which isn't great tbh) with "Fogs" on the flip.

oh and this is a bit old but i don't think i posted about it anywhere when it came out - jam city's disko404 mix is also superb - http://disko404.org/podcast/podcast.html

does any know if there was a Night Slugs related refix/edit of Yolanda Be Cool "Speak No Americano?" Or is that as nuts as it sounds?

Lil Silva did one

This Ikonika mix is a lot better than these sorts of mixes usually are, second half especially. What's the insane ravey one 10mins from the end?

I feel like the world has moved on since the Night Slugs wars of 2010 but if this is the direction the genre's taking in 2011 I'll be happy. Still not mad keen on the fallback metallic bass noise they seemingly use all the time though.

What's the insane ravey one 10mins from the end?

at ~21mins? i asked her, that's the optimum track

how would you say it compares to the 20th april marcus set matt? choose your words wisely now.

This is where the Lone chat was...

http://wigflex.com/2011/05/12/lone-flex/

He's got another ravey one coming out on Wigflex it sounds pretty sweet.

The Ikonika mix is damn good, her mixes usualy are. The last one I heard of her's was: http://www.factmag.com/2010/11/29/fact-mix-206-ikonika/ which is on a par with it I'd say.

I enjoyed that Marcus set too its not an either/or thing for me. Although I like Petchy, Ill Blu, Funkystepz, Champion, etc loads better for my funky mixes. Marcus has been so shit at mixing when I've seen him live that I hardly tune in anymore to his show unless a load of people have been bigging up a recent one or something.

fall back son, i was only making a point specific to mdc

The first 20mins or so of the Marcus mix is great but I was listening before the Cup Final and stopped at kickoff, then forgot to go back to it. It's more fun than the Ikonika mix obv.

The first 20 min is probably the weakest! (relatively)

I order you back.

lol you crack me up rtc, such a grumpy goon :')

like i say it wasnt my intention to start a war again, i just wanted to see how lord haw-haw was getting on considering he never seems to forget to go back and finish listening to those yupstep mixes he kind of sometimes maybe likes on occasion.

:)

i can't really blame anyone for getting bored and not wanting to finish something that's like 6 hours long

i must warn you that further outbursts will be regarded as violating the terms of your diplomatic immmunity; sanctions may ensue.

Given that not one photographer in the country managed to capture it you'll just have to imagine I'm posting huthbalotellielbow.jpg here. An unsatisfactory state of affairs but what can you do.

"rtc is a smashing lad, he comes from a lovely family. he is not that type of lad, not that type of player."

the second hour of that marcus nasty set is just pure vibes - love the camaraderie - plus shantie on crunk vip is waaooow!

Wut (Claude Vonstroke Remix)

there are two! i prefer the undressed mix

there are, and they are both titled teribly, perhaps in reference to 'yeah' with its stupid & pretentious mixes

this optimum mix is very good http://soundcloud.com/hyponik-com/hyp-041-optimum/s-xZw8B

L-Vis 1990 & The Neon Dreams (live)
Bok Bok
Julio Bashmore
Jam City
Girl Unit
Kingdom

that l-vis album is really superb btw, and i say that as someone who never quite felt his productions before.

Good to hear, as i can't say i've been a fan of his work up to now either

This is the lead single - love how gloriously relaxed it is.

Am loving 'Play It Cool' off Neon Dreams fyi

^my favourite too

girl unit dropped 'wut' at fade to mind last friday and it sounded...weird? like i might not even have recognized it if it weren't for the synth melody. might have been the soundsystem.

might have been the Claude VonStroke remix?
