Okay let's get this going with this slo-mo ballad crossover (I hope??) masterpiece that I am obsessed with:

Also what is the difference between shuffling and cutting shapes? Are they different dances that people do to the same music?
― paolo, Monday, 27 January 2014 16:38 (ten years ago) link
"upgrunt" is a joke.
"Shufflin" and "cutitin shapes" are references to the dancing style.

the track in the op is cool but doesn't feel own-thread worthy, certainly can't pull off one with as bad of a title as this.

rev you can go here and keep reading downwards for a while - for a while the jackin' thread drifted into a discussion of the deep tech scene.
But the "one track and minimal description to be greeted by the retching of grampas" was in the tradition of the uk funky thread so I had to maintain.

I feel this thread needs this classic r|t|c quote that has always stuck in my mind in relation to this scene:
let's lay all the notes out. where was q going before his untimely death? the house in house & garage, full circle ouroboros. maturation of bass? the medlar remix of disclosure. disclosure themselves. mk mix of storm queen. jamie jones vs azari big at the tail end of funky. bashmore topping the urban and scene charts with 'au seve'. garage scene raving to annie mac.
huxley. hot creations. nick hannam. hot creations and nick hannam. the jackin lot - cheap n cheerful boshers AND proper house-trained operators fluent in todays clubbing, not the late, crippled baby steps house deejaying that permeated and set off london funky. hannah wants, maya jane coles , what the diff? the garage scene has never been closer to house than it has been now. is it one sided? is it mutual? if they didnt meet halfway where did they meet? murky, got a bass to it. real actual bass. 'hialeah house party' is grimy as hell. vox samples - wiseguys or brandy or fonda rae or gotye or allure it doesnt matter don't you see
― boxedjoy, Monday, 27 January 2014 20:47 (ten years ago) link
house/four on the floor isn't my area of expertise but this makes me think of aeroplane's 'whispers' and other assorted nu disco.

― just (Matt P), Monday, 27 January 2014 20:52 (ten years ago) link
That rtc post is not really about this stuff strictly, though it's all related - this is more on a cold populist tech-house with burbling basslines and occasional vocals tip, and really is in that Pascalian "you have to start praying before you will believe" camp.
― Tim F, Monday, 27 January 2014 20:59 (ten years ago) link
In that regard the track I linked in the OP is quite light and slow - the key genre ingredient in the track is the bass.
― Tim F, Monday, 27 January 2014 21:00 (ten years ago) link
if you could work that together w/ some sort of 'the difficulty of sitting alone in a room' thing i would be v. gratified

Well compared to something like Max Milan & Donae'o's "Hold On":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8qDXICAqrs
Of course as per usual all this stuff gets pitched up in the mix in any event.
― Tim F, Monday, 27 January 2014 21:33 (ten years ago) link
but it's only 2 - 3 bpm slower than that - is that, like, a huge difference in houseland? serious question.
― festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:17 (ten years ago) link
No, it's just that listening to the first tune without pitching up gives off a slower vibe generally - e.g. normally comparing this stuff to Aeroplane wouldn't make any sense.
― Tim F, Monday, 27 January 2014 23:34 (ten years ago) link
Is there a good mix of this stuff somewhere I should listen to?
― raggett neds of your summer dress (The Reverend), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:36 (ten years ago) link
This set remains a real keeper for me, though it only really heats up after the first few tunes:

so djs generally speed these tracks up in sets, but they didn't speed up Aeroplane?
― festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:47 (ten years ago) link
Not generally - Aeroplane tracks were designed to play at a disco tempo.
But not particularly much turns on this issue IMO - the difference between this scene and Aeroplane is not founded in tempo primarily.

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.

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

A little late, but "From Above" is really great! Only liking a pretty small percentage of this music overall.
