or rather the point im trying to discuss in this thread - im not really sure what point im trying to make

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:17 (fifteen years ago) link

the point is to get chix to make out w/each other - that is why people dj

ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:18 (fifteen years ago) link

exactly -- what i dont understand is why this shit makes anyone want to make out. i think maybe its that ppl dislike it so much they decide to get drunk which leads to more making out

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:19 (fifteen years ago) link

now were cooking w/fire!!

ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:23 (fifteen years ago) link

My issues with Justice style riff music are basically along the lines of over-compression makes for a lack of dynamic range. The music is loud but also very flat sounding, even though tracks like Digitalism's Jupiter Room can be very impressive when played out.

I keep finding myself wanting to mix in Border Community artists, people like Ricardo Tobar. I can't handle the flatness of everything. My issues with fidget mostly revolve around the occasionally just stupid attempts at humour.

I don't play Club music because I'm not from Baltimore, don't play Juke because I'm not from Chicago.

I'm certain I'd just come off as clueless Midwestern white kid who knows nothing about the music.

Now I go find myself alchohol.

yah beatmatching isnt the sine qua non of dance music, im not saying that, just personal taste, i like not to have to cease moving between tracks. or should i say songs. for me what it maybe comes down to is this rock or dance music, lame binary i know, and not what this thread is supposed to be about im sure

ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:29 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm drinking Bulleitt mixed with vanilla cream soda, its tasty.

This is both rock and dance, I'm kind of split between thinking of it as deep electroclash (joke) or Heavy NRG.

great thread so far

serious ILM threads RIP

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:34 (fifteen years ago) link

thats mostly a good thing but i thought maybe ppl would have some insights here

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:34 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah until tim or vahid shows up all youre gonna get is shenanagins and a <shrug emoticon>

:) Mrs Edward Cullen XD (max), Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:35 (fifteen years ago) link

Tim would be pretty ehh about the idea of Heavy NRG, I'm thinking.

My guess is that a lot of this music is of the use once and destroy variety.

But people really never expected anyone to care about disco 30 years later, so who knows?

Siah Alan, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:37 (fifteen years ago) link

every time ppl talk about how 'disposable' this stuff is i get all http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/1c/83/e3fe024128a0a540eed10110._AA240_.L.jpg

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:38 (fifteen years ago) link

im open to the idea that some of this music is real good but its the DJs who are shitty

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:39 (fifteen years ago) link

even though tracks like Digitalism's Jupiter Room can be very impressive when played out

this is a fuckin jam

and half the stuff on that chart you posted is good

huge difference between that and the people that trainwreck Young Jeezy into Please Mr Postman Bmore Version imo

dmr, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:40 (fifteen years ago) link

It does really remind me of electroclash circa 2002 and electrohouse circa 2004, and a lot of the French stuff is obviously heavily influenced by Braxe, Bangalter and Co., but I'm not saying its all disposable.

I think Joakim's music is pretty obviously a labor of love, and it shows.

Siah Alan, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:42 (fifteen years ago) link

gr8080 is playing me some traxx that sound dope but also sound like they hew a lot closer to classic chicago disco-house like CZR or paul johnson or somebody -- with maybe a bit of a more glitchy beat, sorta derrick carter ish -- i enjoy the skippier/glitchier rhythm aspect

but this doesnt feel really radical or anything

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:44 (fifteen years ago) link

I think fidget mostly exists as a DJ tool, for moving in between genres.

Siah Alan, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:45 (fifteen years ago) link

see to me that sounds more like this (czr rmx of bob sinclair)

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:46 (fifteen years ago) link

the only time i ever really felt weird about dancing to this was after the chromeo show when flosstradamus was djing and they dropped dead prez's 'hip-hop' and all of my bougie white self-loathing and self-consciousness abt race rose to the surface as every dude in the 80% white audience started chanting along to 'white folx say it controls your brain'

:) Mrs Edward Cullen XD (max), Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:47 (fifteen years ago) link

haha i can 1-up you on that one -- i saw dead prez @ intonation fest and they had fred hampton jr come up on stage

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:48 (fifteen years ago) link

you know probably these questions only even arise cause dance music has by far the highest aspie ceiling - once that dawned internet all bets were off - in fact im not sure any of this shit even exists irl

this club actually does this????

i had a girl come up to the booth once holing up her phone that had a request typed out on the screen so she didnt have to shout at me <3

♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:51 (fifteen years ago) link

if u didnt txt back "rip ur top off" im not sure we can be friends anymore

ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:52 (fifteen years ago) link

that AC/DC track that deej posted is a perfect example of my issue with most of this stuff-- i feel like lots of it is good for a minute or two then it does some grating stuttery breakdown and goes all glitchy then switches up into some other annoying section of the song then come back to the good part, gets you stoked on an awesome build again and then does the whole thing over again

which is why i like the voodoo chilli 12" deej posted a song of-- doesnt switch up too much.

here's another off the same 12" which is basically "the bomb" fucked with a little:

♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:55 (fifteen years ago) link

^prob too straight up disco house for this thread tho

♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:56 (fifteen years ago) link

what is the ac/dc track, i get video removed for that first link

W i l l, Thursday, 4 December 2008 02:00 (fifteen years ago) link

the first vid is kid cudi crookers remix, 2nd vid is acdc crookers remix

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 02:01 (fifteen years ago) link

both links are working for me, try refreshing the page

deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 02:02 (fifteen years ago) link

ok i will explain it to you all but you wont like it - its cause its frivolous - basically in the history of 21st century popular culture at some point people thought o i want to have fun and and thats cool cause who doesnt want to have fun - but then they forgot why they wanted to have fun in the first place - that is basically what happened

ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 02:04 (fifteen years ago) link

Now I'm really confused.

Siah Alan, Thursday, 4 December 2008 02:06 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm with yah on the frivolity thing, but when has dance music not been frivolous?

Siah Alan, Thursday, 4 December 2008 02:07 (fifteen years ago) link

all u need to know is that joe is the kind of dude what has "theories" and he has some sort of "theory" about like pop culture and all u really need to do is just sort of nod and type "otm" and ignore him
