check the radio station's website to see if it has its playlist

yeah i usually do that but it was during a dj mix & they don't log individual song info for those

Could it be Nicola Roberts upcoming single, "Dance To The Beat of My Drum"?

stacious track is good! this isn't it tho -- the singing was pretty americanized, in the vein of nina sky

Was worth a try. At least we found a pretty good song!

well like i said usually it's pretty easy to pick up a song off the radio but this was from a mix show so there's no log of it online

i can upload a video of me singing it to myself so i didn't forget how it goes
after hearing it again yesterday i oversold it by referencing "bongo jam" -- it's not as percussive as that, but it's a total nina sky summer jam

I have also been trying to find this with no success. Seen a few diff. people mention 'drums' on her twitter but no sign of the song anywhere. Seems pretty strange.

Well it's only this one DJ that has played it during his mix show (tho on a prominent radio station here) so I think it's still "unreleased"

LOL rtc -- entice's show is good - he usually plays "drumz" between 5:45-5:50 EST when his set winds down
btw I have most of this recorded on video on my phone but it's too big of a file to upload to Youtube :-(

― Tim F, Saturday, 30 July 2011 07:47 (1 year ago) Permalink
terius boasts about making songs in half an hour though, and a lot of the time you can tell (and it doesn't correlate to how good they are - "single ladies" sounds a lot more tossed-off than "panties to the side" for example, but is obviously better)
― lex pretend, Saturday, 30 July 2011 07:50 (1 year ago) Permalink
i refuse to believe jr rotem takes any longer on most of hits than it takes him to copy and paste the horrible obvious sample on top
― lex pretend, Saturday, 30 July 2011 07:51 (1 year ago) Permalink
*his hits
Yes but "Single Ladies" is also obviously a more polished performance in just about every conceivable manner than "Drumz". A lot of this also comes down to a mix of production and performance too - Beyonce is a professional. Derulo can't really sing but he's trying. And the use of big samples actually reduces the sense of amateurism in my opinion because you can hear the money and power and will going into making the result a hit.
I guess the phrase "amateurish" is too broad and vague for the vibe I'm trying to describe. Like I'm sure you'd put Ke$ha (in a bad way) or "Give Me Everything" (in a good way) in that category too and that's not at all the vibe I mean.
If I was looking for an example of real amateurishness (in the sense that I mean) in US pop comparable to "Drumz" I'd probably point to stuff like Baby Bash's "Suga Suga".
― Tim F, Saturday, 30 July 2011 08:10 (1 year ago) Permalink
O O AYOOOO
this thing has been #1 jam all summer, Adiah kinda makes it feel like dusk and the heat's broken so now you can rejoice and DANCE.

― one big boob fulla bad stitches (billy), Saturday, 30 July 2011 16:39 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yes. I think (pseudo?) Caribbean amateurishness is a pretty different kettle of fish to other forms of amateurishness in pop and tends to map onto the amateurish/professional divide very differently.
You get the same thing with a lot of contemporary African pop (which is obviously heavily influenced by dancehall as well as US hip-hop), and some strands of funky as well. You can get away with a lot if you have charm and energy - the effect of having banged something out in the middle of a party even if most of the time that hasn't happened. You don't get that with most amateurish-sounding rock music, and especially not with someone like Terius who is very polished at his best and doesn't have the charm to compensate for his more tossed off moments, there's rarely a sense of spontenaiety there.
― Matt DC, Monday, 1 August 2011 09:38 (1 year ago) Permalink
Also no way is Desloc the lesser partner here - you need the roughness and the energy to balance Adiah's smoothness.
― Matt DC, Monday, 1 August 2011 09:39 (1 year ago) Permalink
Matt gets me. Definitely true of african pop and a lot of funky.

i'm not sure how 'official' "drumz" was in the first place -- i don't think it's adiah's song
but i heard the desloc version on the radio all summer, so i'm sure this is just a re-work or w/e

Ideally that and the DJ Joker/Sabrina track and maybe the Seany Mac, but the only one I think is a lock on the poll is Desloc/Adiah.

― I am that young sis, the beacon, a yardstick (dayo), Friday, 20 January 2012 19:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
Seany Mac isn't 2011. It's 2009/2010. But because none of us new it existed until it showed up on those two mixes in 2011, I rationalized using it for ILM.
Not for Pazz & Jop
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Friday, 20 January 2012 20:01 (1 year ago) Permalink
It's from 2009 insofar as we have a date on YouTube, but there's no video, no promotion, no release, no writing about it until 2011.
At which point it appears in mixes by How to Dress Well and Physical Therapy and gets written up in FADER and ILM and a couple other places.

I need r|t|c to verify my sense that zippy organ tunes along the lines of "One Of Those Days" are massive (again) at the moment in the bassline scene. So many amazing tunes floating around - all conveniently titled "Organ Mix" or even just "Organ" as if it's a style.

Probably the more appropriate thread for this discussion because Drumz is the other best ILM track of the year and it deserves to have its thread to itself.
