WUT WUT WUT WUT~~~

Night Slugs feature @ http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1254
Comes with a 47 minute mix.
Thanks Lex, WUT revisits me multiple times a day since the start of this thread :)

^^ jam city's "arpjam" on that mix is fucking insanely good, really hope that gets a release this year

Kingdom slapping the vocals from Ciara's "Ride" on top of "Every Time" was one of many highlights when I saw him a few nights ago.

oh SHIT i'd've lost my shit at that

Yeah, he kind of had my jaw on the floor the whole time. :) Sorry to veer off-topic, but I have really treasured Kingdom's tracks, mixes and remixes this year. His monthly event here has been the source of many euphoric nights. Can't remember the last time I was inspired to go out so much.

i get the fbook invites to those and EVERY TIME wish i could go. and i've never managed to catch kingdom over here either - once this year i got to interview him but on the night had a deadline crisis; the time after that i was in spain; and he's coming over in a couple of weeks, when i...will be in miami

AARGH

Oh good, the EP is on Spotify. INSTANT LOVE for "Wut" and "Showstoppa", WOW!

mike (and indeed everyone) should check out kingdom's stuff (esp "mind reader", "that mystic" and "fogs") - not exactly similar but approaching cut-up r&b vox/heavy bass from a different angle

actually i'll just bump his thread - Kingdom ft. Shyvonne - Mind Reader

I know "Mind Reader" quite well - Lex, you tipped me to it a few months back. Great track. Will try the other two.

single of the fucking year finally gets a release

single of the year? hm. i just heard it, and it is good. i can see where the processed vocals can be irritating/nervewracking after a while. tagged it to download later on emusic.

xpost whole Night Slugs catalogue is available on Spotify and that's so fucking sweet, just type label:"night slugs" in searchbox

this is very great except I want to say wut wut in the butt :(

Wonder what popular internet phrase Girl Unit will use for his next single?

LOL

Deserved that

dayo- I don't think that impulse is nearly as strong here as it is with, say, Trey Songz' "Bottoms Up" (Bottoms up, bottoms up/ stick it in your butt). :)

^^ jam city's "arpjam" on that mix is fucking insanely good, really hope that gets a release this year

i know lex loves them (not least as hes mates with them all) but can there just be a rolling nightslugs thread so there arent new ones started for these guys all the time?

This is pretty much the only Night Slugs thread isn't it? Mind Reader wasn't even on Night Slugs.

Don't think there's really much doubt that Lex sincerely loves all this stuff, he's not just street teaming his friends for the sake of it.

is this like the post dubstep "d.a.n.c.e."

:(

deadboy drake remix is so beautiful

Glad you like Jordan! Though it really does sound like "all I see is tiger woods..."

haha noooooooo that's all i'm gonna hear now

that + the james blake cover of feist = repeat bedtime listening atm

this is pretty dope

even tho the use of literal firework sounds at the beginning & end of the track is both obvious and i believe carried over right from the drake song, it works really well w/ the deadboy remix -- its sort of like you're looking up in the sky and witnessing this really pretty thing -- it gives me the the same sort of feeling of intense romance in my chest that i get when i see the fireworks scene in 'adventureland'

ok this crowd video of 'wut' is amazing, somehow it's even huger w/ fuzzy blown-out sound and shakycam, i want to be dancing right now.

endless <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

mixed also with endless ;_; ;_; ;_; ;_; that i couldn't be there

(not that i'm complaining about having been able to sunbathe on south beach for the past few days)

\_OˬO_/ at the drop at 1:50

also lol at "face down ass up" reconfigured as a grace note for such a pretty and non-concrete, textually, vocal hook

not sure why i made the justice snark comment above, i don't know why i have inbuilt negativity towards this when actually anytime i open ableton i try and make music like this. think i have some contrarian feelings towards this just cos i live in london, but i like wut. agree with whoever said they wait for a rapper to come in, i feel a lot like this about lots of this kind of music.

agree about the comments about "what to do" with this music too...i've been in clubs where people "bounce" and it's extremely macho/tedious watching people posture...i guess if i went out to clubs where they play rap music it might be like that too but i dunno, maybe more fun.

It's the R&B cut-ups that really make this IMO... it doesn't really feel very functional but that's fine.

His remix of Lights On by Katy B is kind of horrible.

Love Wut and Showstoppa but kind of think both sound like they're missing something. Wut gets boring at its length.

Say whatever about Night Slugs, their sleeve designs are just out-and-out great.

Listening through proper speakers for the first time... this is fucking AMAZING music

i shall be talking to girl unit (and braiden) tomorrow on resonance fm, 7pm http://www.resonancefm.com/ (pre-recorded interview w/girl unit and talking w/braiden live); i'm sure it'll be on the internet afterwards too

there will be EXCLUSIVE MUSIC played!

among the topics of discussion: which rapper girl unit would most like to hear over the top of these trax

interview in middle of this podcast - http://freakytrigger.co.uk/lollards-podcast/2010/11/freaky-trigger-and-the-lollards-of-pop-series-4-week-11/

Wow, the last four tracks on the Night Slugs label comp are really fantastic, especially Jacques Greene's 'Baby I Don't Know What You Want'. This sort of colourful space-funk sound works *so* much better for me than the more full-on thick-grey-line bass stuff that comes before it. I'm including 'Wut' in the former category obviously.

yeah the optimum one really surprised me, given what his ep was like. you should hear the velour ep if you haven't, it's all technicolour off-kilter funk like that - you can tell why dâm-funk's a kindred spirit.

this is my favourite on the compilation though, soooo good - posted it in the dance partisans thread already but never sure how many people actually look in there

Really impressed by the few other Jacques Greene tracks I've heard, too. (<3<3<3 "Tell Me"!!)

His LuckyMe 12" was supposed to come out Monday but I'm not seeing anywhere to buy it yet.

funny that the Greene track mis/re-interprets Ashanti's "Baby I don't know why..." from 'Foolish'

think i like the Kingdom, Egyptrixx (maybe filler-y to some but i like the relative oddness) and Velour tracks most (aside from 'Wut') but it's all good and will get bought.

yeah Arpjam is just incredibly funky
